💗LILLIE’S ADOPTION💗
Before she came to ACARF, Lillie was in dire straits. It was miserably cold, and she was pregnant and unwanted. Lillie was in a constant and desperate search for food and shelter, when a compassionate person took her in and got her to us. Lillie arrived just in time to give birth in safety.
Once her babies were born, she was a wonderful mother and raised them to be round and loving little darlings. All of Lillie’s babies found amazing homes very quickly and then it was their sweet mama’s turn!
We are thankful that this wonderful dog found a wonderful home where she will never know hunger, cold, or fear again. Wishing beautiful Lillie and her awesome new family a very very Happy Forever!🥳
