Welcome Becca!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Please help me welcome Col. Potter's newest girl, Becca. Becca comes to Col. Potter from a shelter in MO. She was found as a stray in early February - matted, filthy, cold. She was welcomed into a very full shelter, and has spent time in the cat crates, in the shelter office, and in a run with two younger pups - doing well in each situation. She is estimated to be between 3 and 4 years old. The shelter staff describe her as very sweet, housetrained, and crate trained.

Miss Becca is one of the lucky ones, she was a cairn in danger of euthanasia due to space issues at the shelter, a situation that we are hearing of more and more. She had a lucky break when devoted shelter staff reached out to rescue for help, wanting to give a very sweet girl a chance. Another lucky break came when the staff's message reached Col Potter. Her third lucky break came when the Col. said 'YES!'.

We all speak through the Col., each one of us, when we donate a dollar, or a minute, or a space in our home. We each give the Col. support every day so that cairns in need can hear him say 'YES!'.

Although Becca did not come to us through a mill, we all know in all likelihood her Momma and her Daddy are mill kids. Still. Sitting in a MO mill: dirty, hungry, thirsty, cold, scared. In her parents' honor, and in honor of all sitting on wire, waiting, please continue to help the Col. say 'YES' by supporting the "New Leash On Life"!

Welcome, Becca!
