2/14/18 – A Happy Valentine Love Story — It was 4 1/2 years ago when I was contacted about this beautiful Border-Collie mix found in a ditch by a police officer and animal control officer. Her jaw was broken in four places and her hip was fractured. Her injuries required more medical care than 4 Paws 1 Heart could afford but because of our friends, we were able to get her help at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services. It was there that Pistol Annie (because she was a fighter), who is now known as Lola, met the love of her life — Traci, a licensed veterinary technician who agreed to foster Annie through her recovery and later adopted her. I’ve thought about Annie often over the years and the other night, her mom, Traci, contacted me with an update:
“Thank you again for saving her! She is fabulous and very loved!! She is also the best “surrogate “ (she’s spayed of course!) momma dog to my foster puppies!!! She has endless patience and energy for them!! I’m sorry it took 4 1/2 years” (Lola is on the left) – Diana
