An Open Heart and Mind: Sasha Finds her Forever Home

Vanessa always wanted a furry companion of her own and took the first step when she signed up to volunteer with City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue. Upon seeing 1.5-year-old Sasha’s photo online as a pup in need of fostering, something in her heart immediately knew that she and Sasha belonged together. As Vanessa puts it, “I looked at her picture and said, ‘that’s my dog’!”
​

Sasha originally came to CDCK via a partner shelter in Southwest Virginia. While little is known about the first year of Sasha’s life, at some point she received a leg injury that never healed quite right.

It may be hard to believe, but Rupert actually had a lot going for him. His life had been saved by sheer luck: the store whose dumpster he was found in was supposed to be closed and temperatures were plummeting below zero. He would not have survived the night had he not been found and brought to the shelter.

Their project is one of the impacts of learning from teachers Lisa and Jeb how Bible stories can reflect in people’s daily lives.
