A dog who was left for dead in the trunk of a car last year was reunited with her foster mom on Wednesday, November 20.
The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region shared the heartwarming story and reunion on Thursday, November 21.
“Last year, our Animal Law Enforcement (ALE) officers received a call notifying them about an unknown number of dogs left in the trunk of a car,” the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region explained.
“When they arrived on the scene, the sound of desperate cries for help echoed from the trunk. Nothing could prepare them for what they saw that day.”
The animal shelter painted the picture of what their ALE officers found inside the trunk explaining, “There were ten severely neglected puppies in the trunk of the car and only three were still alive. All the animals were critically underweight, and with no muscle mass or fat, their bones were visible through the skin. The living puppies were dehydrated, hypothermic, and covered in urine and feces.”
The animal shelter reveals that among the three living puppies they rescued, only one survived, and they named her Griselda.
“Through round-the-clock care and unyielding hope, Griselda began to show signs of recovery,” the animal shelter reveals.
“She was placed with one of our staff members, Allison, who became her foster mom and cared for her with patience and devotion.”
The animal shelter reveals that months later, Griselda was renamed to Bits and found her forever family.
“The joy of seeing her healthy and thriving was overwhelming, and we celebrated this beautiful triumph of life over tragedy.”
And a year later, the animal shelter staff members, along with Bits’ former foster mom Allison, were reunited with the pooch.
“She came to our wellness center for her vaccines and a check-up, and we watched in awe as she bounded into the room, eager to reunite with her foster mom, Allison,” the animal shelter reveals.
“The two shared a tender moment, their bond as strong as ever.”
The post about Bits’ reunion with her foster mom and the staff at the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region included a photo of baby Bits and another photo of Allison hugging the big, beautiful girl.
“We are grateful to our ALE officers who rescued her, our veterinary team who healed her, our foster family who offered their home to her, and the family who adopted her and gave her a wonderful life,” the animal shelter wrote.
Additionally, Bits’ new mom, Katie Barlow, left a comment on the post, sharing what life is with Bits today.
She wrote, “Today, she’s thriving in the mountains with her three rescued canine siblings, living the wonderful life she deserves. We’re so thankful she found her forever home with us.”
