Meet Ivy! Ivy was picked up as a stray right before Christmas. She was suffering from horrible pneumonia and could hardly move. We were not sure that Ivy would make it, but we did not want her to die alone in a shelter never knowing love. With the shelter closing for the holiday, many volunteers came together to make sure Ivy made it out of the shelter and to rescue in time. Ivy's foster mom spent her entire Christmas holiday nursing this sweet little girl back to health. Ivy is now a happy little dog who enjoys giving and receiving love. She now has a happy life because a group of people refused to give up on her :)
