‼️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 - @hsgniagara
