I received the following email today.
Hi All,
A fluffy little white Pom was rescued from a puppy mill in Kingman, Az. a short while back. She’s sweet and beautiful, and to her the world is a very scary place to be in. She’s lived in a cage most of her life, and people have not been kind to her.
She was adopted a month ago, and because she has not come out of her shell yet, she’s being returned to UAF. This poor baby needs a quiet and calm home where she can catch her breath and learn to trust someone.
She’s friendly to people, just extremely shy, and she also gets along with the dog where she is now. She’ll allow you to brush her, or she’ll sit near you on the sofa, but then continues to run away to a safe corner or crate when she becomes frightened. She has never tried to nip anyone at all.
By this coming Saturday afternoon she needs a safe place to be. If you can foster her, or can think of a friend, relative or neighbor who might foster her, please contact UAF right away. Thanks!

I felt an extremely strong pull to help this little girl out. I emailed for a photo and before receiving a response called and said we would foster her. I’ve never made a snap decision like that without involving my husband, but I just knew we had to help her.
Also in the back of my mind was the information that one of our dogs, who had transitioned many years earlier, had been sending that she wanted to return to us as a little white dog. Her name was Ellie and she was a very black Chow Chow. She was a very special girl and very connected to my husband. We assisted her move into spirit at her request when she became very ill.

Hi Debbie,
I received your phone message, thanks!
You know, I prayed for a door to open for this poor little angel. What a terrible life she’s had, and I was so determined to find her a safe and loving place to land this time. I owe it to her.
I was asked to take over finding her a foster home to go to because her adopter no longer wants her.
When I read your email, and then learned who you are and what you do, there are just no words to express how grateful I am to you and your husband, and to the powers that be, for helping this special dog find her way to you.
Poppy, as I call her, needs to discover that the world is no longer scary for her, and that all of the bad is behind her now. I know you’ll be able to convey this to her, and help her to feel safe for the first time in her life.
Just saying thank you seems so insufficient for what I’m feeling. I have a volunteer, who can transport her tomorrow morning, if that works for you.
Anyway, we’ll figure it all out when we talk later on today.
Blessings to you as well.

I called my husband and told him that I had already agreed to foster this little dog. To my surprise, he said that’s good. I then contacted UAF and let them know we were ready to pick her up. They immediately had a plan to pick her up from her adoptive home and transport her to us. We’d meet tomorrow morning half-way between Phoenix, Az. and Prescott, Az. The United Animal Friends organization is based out of Prescott, Az.

Hi Friends,
Today a miracle happened…
The little Pom, I call her Poppy, doesn’t know it yet, but she’s about to learn what love and safety feels like for the first time in her life.
A lovely couple from Cave Creek is going to foster her, and guess what? The woman is a gifted animal communicator, and they have 4 Poms of their own! Who better to get through to this sweet dog, letting her know that her rainy days are behind her now, and the future is full of sunshine and rainbows.
This is truly a miracle for this wonderful dog.
Thanks so much to all of you who responded to her urgent need, and networked her email to your friends and family.
Networking has saved so many precious lives, and is one of our best tools to save the animals in need. Thanks for being a part of it, and together, we all make one heck of a team!
United Animal Friends

I had to run out for an appointment and as I headed for the door, one of my Poms, Diamond, began barking at me. She was looking right in my eyes and I heard her say “Go get her.” I asked her who she was talking about and she said “The dog”, “Ellie, go get her.”. Evidently the dogs at our house already knew that Ellie was returning home and wanted her home as soon as possible.
I explained to all our dogs thata they were going to need to help the new little one adjust. She’s very afraid and has never had a real home.
