美國動保團體「邊境尾巴救援組織」(Border Tails Rescue)救出一隻被繁殖場惡意棄養的英國獒犬,儘管是一隻品種犬,但已經7歲的牠成了收容所中唯一沒被認養的狗狗。等了數周之後出現了一名天使認養人,但距離卻遠在3200公里之外,讓志工們決定拚盡全力給牠一個溫暖的家。
根據《The Dodo》報導,7歲的獒犬「伯莎」(Bertha)被發現遭到無良的小狗繁殖場棄養,沒有利用價值之後就隨意拋棄。邊境尾巴得知消息便救援了伯莎,並把他安置在伊利諾伊州(Illinois)的收容所當中。
然而伯莎的命運並沒有因此好轉,儘管身為品種犬又相當溫柔親人,但高齡7歲讓許多人選擇忽略牠。伯莎眼看著收容所內的其他室友陸陸續續有了新家,唯獨剩自己遲遲沒有人要,忍不住感到有些難過。
經過幾周之後終於出現好消息,一名來自俄勒岡州(Oregon)的民眾表示有意願收養伯莎,儘管兩者距離超過2000英里(約3218.6公里),但志工決定親手將伯莎送到新家,在收容所辦完歡送派對後就立刻開車出發上路。
經過數天的旅途橫越半個國家,伯莎和新主人終於在新家見到面,還沒進門主人就已幫狗狗準備好超大的碗及食物,想要好好給伯莎一個大禮。伯莎從今以後也擁有一個超大的綠地可以悠哉曬太陽,揮別陰影迎來下一段幸福汪生。
@eric.and.joey BERTHA IS HOME! After 3 long days and well over 2,000 miles on the road, Bertha has made it to her forever home! What an incredible journey and thank you all for caring so much about Bertha and watching/ sharing her story. We really wouldn't have been able to do it without you! And of course a special thank you to April for adopting Bertha! And @Border Tails Rescue for giving her this opportunity. Don't you worry! More Bertha content is on the way :) If you haven't already, check out our bandanas to support us in our bio. Our bandanas help lower adoption fees and get shelter dogs into homes! Just like Bertha
