KUJICA Minnie i njezin vlasnik godinama su bili nerazdvojni i rijetko su napuštali jedno drugo. No, prije nekoliko godina dočekala ih je velika tragedija - njezin vlasnik je doznao da ima rijetki oblik raka.
Kako piše The Dodo, vlasnik se u početku mogao brinuti o Minnie i ona mu je pružala veliku utjehu, ali prije dvije godine, stanje mu se toliko pogoršalo da se morao oprostiti od svoje ljubimice.
Minnie je ostavio u skloništu Humane Society of Greater Niagara (HSGN), u nadi da će brzo pronaći novi dom, a nije ju zaboravio ni u najtežim trenucima. Dok je vlasnik prolazio kroz intenzivno liječenje, Minnie je sjedila u skloništu i čekala da je netko udomi.
"Minnie je bila odvojena od svog vlasnika prvi put u životu", napisalo je sklonište na Facebooku. "Čak i dok se borio s rakom, vlasnik je mislio na nju svaki dan. U novčaniku je nosio pločicu s njezinim imenom i posjećivao sklonište samo da bi je vidio izdaleka."

Godine su prolazile, a Minnie nije uspjela pronaći novi, zauvijek dom. Iako je nakratko udomljena, novi vlasnici brzo su je vratili u sklonište. No, sreća joj se osmjehnula u kolovozu ove godine kada je njezin prvi vlasnik otkrio da je u remisiji.
Čim je čuo odličnu vijest, odmah je otišao na stranicu skloništa kako bi popunio formular za udomljavanje Minnie. Osim toga, odselio se u novu kuću s velikim dvorištem i pomno je isplanirao svaki korak kako Minnie više nikada ne bi završila u skloništu.
"Nakon 750 dana i jednog neuspjelog udomljavanja, Minnie je tamo gdje pripada", napisali su djelatnici skloništa. "Ima svog tatu, zauvijek dom i posebno mjesto u našim srcima. Nedostajat će nam u HSGN-u, ali spoznaja da je napokon kod kuće, ispunjava nas radošću."

@hsgniagara ‼️WORTH THE READ‼️ Minnie’s owner was diagnosed with cancer, and right by his side was Minnie, his loyal protector. When he couldn’t leave his bed for over 36 hours during treatment, Minnie didn’t leave him for even a second. She was his constant; his source of comfort in the hardest days. But as the treatments progressed, his health worsened, and he had to make a heart-wrenching decision—to find someone who could care for her when he no longer could. Minnie came to Humane Society of Greater Niagara in October 2022 through our humanitarian boarding program, sponsored by PetSmart Charities. About a month later, with his health declining, her owner selflessly agreed to surrender her, wanting Minnie to have a better life even if it meant breaking his own heart. For the first time since the day she was born, Minnie was separated from him. And even while he battled cancer, he thought of her every single day, carrying her dog tags in his wallet and visiting the shelter just to catch a glimpse of her from afar. This August, everything changed. He got the news he had prayed for—he was in remission. His first thought? Minnie. He went to our website, clinging to the hope she was still here. When he saw her face staring back at him on the screen, tears filled his eyes. He immediately started preparing, moving into a new home with a big backyard, planning every detail so Minnie would never have to spend another day in the shelter. After 750 days and a failed adoption, Minnie is back where she belongs. She has her dad, a forever home, and a special place in all our hearts. We’ll miss her at HSGN, but knowing she’s finally home fills us with joy. Here’s to Minnie and her dad, a love that never gave up. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing staff, devoted volunteers, and generous partners at PetSmart Charities and U Need It Typed, whose unwavering support helped Minnie on every step of her journey. Her story wouldn’t have been possible without each of you, and we're grateful to everyone who cheered Minnie on from near and far. ❤🐾 #humanesociety #animalrescue #rescue #adoption #rescuedogsarethebestdogs #happy #niagararegion #share #repost #doglife #donate #thankyou ♬ original sound - max📼
