NOTE: I have a 14-year old husky (Aleu) that my husband and I rescued over 8 years ago now. Her story, while not being the saddest rescue story, was still pretty sad. I’m a HUGE animal lover and have always vowed to always adopt animals from rescues to give them forever homes. We now have 2 cats and our senior dog that we rescued over the years ❤️ So it’s really special to be able to give back to our local animal shelter!
