She shattered our heart at the outdoor shelter.. I made a promise to her that we would be back.. Well we did it.

Original caption

I stood there with her head in my hand crushed knowing we had no move to make. We had just evacuated over 30 animals and our spaces were maxed out. I couldn't let her go. So I begged and pleaded. You guys heard the cry. You saw her worth. She's safe. She's in rescue with us. Now Oma is cuddled up on a couch. She is still seeking her furever family but she's no longer standing in her own filth and hiding from the rain. Oma l promised they would find your worth too. You aren't forgotten. You are family now. *To donate* ❤️LINK IN BIO❤️ #dogsoftiktok #adoptdontshop #doglovers #rescuedog #viral
