❤️ HAPPY TAILS, SNOOPY & SPARTY!
This one is long overdue… Snoopy and Sparty were adopted together, and their ride home came courtesy of Pilots N Paws! ✈️❤️
Snoopy came into Memphis Animal Services when his owner was moving and couldn’t take him along. He was marked urgent because the shelter needed space and was facing euthanasia on July 23. Team Memphis committed to him, and that day, Snoopy left the shelter with a chance to find a family again.
He came out with an upper respiratory infection, and his foster family took such good care of him. We do think the pills hidden in his food had him convinced the humans were trying to poison him, though. Apparently, finding medicine in your dinner is a serious breach of trust. 😂
Sparty was almost 11 when his owner’s health meant she could no longer care for him. This sweet, happy senior Beagle needed insulin for his diabetes and had cataracts that made it hard to see. He needed somewhere to spend his golden years with someone ready to care for him.
He was boarding at a veterinary clinic when the clinic reached out to one of our board members. That board member happened to be on vacation with a Beagle lover, and Sparty found himself a sponsor! From veterinary boarding, he moved into foster care, where his foster helped manage his diabetes while he waited for his family.
Then a family with plenty of experience caring for animals said yes to BOTH boys. Sparty’s diabetes didn’t make them hesitate. They were ready to give him the care he needed and welcome Snoopy right along with him. ❤️
These two boys had both lost the families they knew, and both wanted a dog friend around. We like to think they found comfort in each other and bonded over that shared loss. Getting to make the journey to their new family together felt especially fitting.
Both boys boarded a Pilots N Paws flight and headed home. It was Sparty’s very first plane ride, and his foster reported that he was such a good passenger. A pretty special way to start his retirement!
Snoopy fell in love with his new dad immediately. That part didn’t require any convincing. ❤️ Now both boys get to share a home with a family who will love them to the end of time.
Thank you to the clinic for reaching out about Sparty, to his sponsor, and to the foster who stepped up for that handsome little guy at the shelter, Snoopy. Thank you to Pilots N Paws and everyone who helped get these boys home.
To their fosters, you are amazing. Everything you did for these two boys reminds us of everything good in the world. You looked after them like they were your own. Through the medical ups and downs, you stuck with them, cared for them, and loved them. You gave them this chance. ❤️
To their adopters, there are no words. Just thank you.
Happy Tails, Snoopy and Sparty. We’re so glad you made it home together. ❤️
