Sally, a dog who witnessed her owner’s death, urgently needs a family to adopt her from San Antonio’s Animal Care Services.
SAN ANTONIO — It’s a last chance at adoption.
After her owner was shot and killed by San Antonio police last Friday, one dog needs to be fostered or adopted today.
Sally is a four-year-old and currently resides at San Antonio Animal Care Services.
She witnessed her owner being killed by police at the Hays Street Bridge and Cherry Street, but has not lost her good heart.
Sally’s been through a lot, but it doesn’t mean she has to go through much more, she can be yours today.
She’s kind. Even to strangers.
“The fact that she has so much love left to give, a lot of dogs are abused, and they’re very difficult to take care of,” Sally’s neighbor, Julia Domaradzka, said.
Domaradzka knows Sally’s heart is bigger than what happened.
“For her to be sweet after being tied up in a yard her whole life like that, I just think that speaks volumes about her character…she deserves a fair shot at life,” she added.
On Aug. 29, Sally’s owner allegedly pointed a gun at San Antonio officers, and he was shot and killed.
Sally was taken away in hopes of finding a better home.
“So dogs like that need a little bit of time to decompress, get back on their feet,” Lisa Norwood with Animal Care Services said.
Norwood added that Sally has gotten plenty of time at the shelter. Now she is in dire need of a home.
“She goes to play group, plays with other dogs, wants to be a better girl, and part of that is learning how to live with a family.”
Even a foster home could save her.
“So she needs someone to step up in the community for her now,” Norwood said.
“It’s an opportunity to bring light into this dark situation…if anyone could help her…that person would be a hero,” Domaradzka said.
