Rowan

For over a year, I survived on my own. People in the town Lithonia spotted me wandering around wearing a puppy collar that had painfully embedded into my neck as I grew. Thankfully, some incredible humans refused to give up on me. They set a trap, and on the very first night, I finally stepped into safety.

AGA named me Rowan, and from that moment on, everything changed. The wonderful team at VSGA immediately began helping me heal. My embedded collar was removed, my infection was treated, and after several procedures and lots of care, my neck finally healed beautifully.

But healing wasn’t just physical. Over the next few months, I learned what it meant to live indoors, to be part of a family, to play, to relax, and to simply be a young dog. After spending most of my short life surviving alone, I finally got to learn how to just be loved.

Then MY family came along. Now I’m called Dolly, and I honestly hit the jackpot. I have a mom who works from home, two canine siblings named Ben and Ruby, a dad I absolutely adore, and even an aunt and canine cousin who visit every day. I have endless toys, cozy beds, bones, full meals, and more love than I ever imagined possible.

I never have to worry about being hungry, lonely, or scared again. And for the first time in my life… I’m finally home. Thank you to everyone who helped me find my way to forever. Love, Dolly (formerly Rowan)
