Happy ‘gotcha-day’ Nora!

Today marks 2 years since Nora arrived at our door for what we believed was an emergency foster situation. She had just arrived from Iran via Canada a few days earlier – and the foster the rescue had lined up for her here in NY had decided she was too much to handle within just a few hours. We stepped up to foster while she was going through scheduled treatments and amputation at Animal Medical Center.

It didn’t take us long to realize this was going to be a major foster failure on our part. We fell head over heels in love with this brave pup and decided she had to become a permanent member of our family.

We have been through a lot over these past 2 years – a lot of work both medically and behavioral as those of you who have followed our blog already know. We are so proud of Nora who has come SO far. She’s a completely different dog than the shy anxious pup who arrived back in June of 2015.

Happy gotcha day/adoptiversary/ 4th birthday Nora. We love you to the moon and back.

Attached are 2 photos taken back when she was still in Iran AND some more recent photos.
