Finds Happiness in Her Golden Years
 Sedna
Finds Happiness in Her Golden Years
by Angela Grimes, Associate Executive Director
One year ago, an elderly, abandoned, partially
blind, and partially crippled American Eskimo dog was rescued
from the middle of busy San Antonio thoroughfare after almost
being struck by a car. She was brought to Wildlife Rescue
& Rehabilitation (WRR) where she received the urgent care
she needed and was nursed back to health by our caring staff
and eventually placed up for adoption. In addition, this gentle
dog was featured in the July
2007 WRR News asking for a "special home where
she can spend the few remaining years or months she may have
in the company of a loving family."
And what a wonderful, loving family she found!
This once ailing and discarded soul, now named Sedna, has
a beautiful home with people who value her as much as she
deserves. They have shared photos of her transformation over
this past year. It is amazing what love and good care can
accomplish. Her new family wrote to us:
Sedna was treated by WRR staff for
several health
problems before she was adopted into her new home.

You do such great work and I wanted to
thank you for bringing me a wonderful addition to my family,
Sedna. She has come a long way. As you can see by her pictures,
she has grown a beautiful coat and is soft and cuddly. Her
health has improved dramatically — she has lost her
tremors and holds her head high and proud. Sedna loves walks
— baying like her sled-dog ancestors. She loves to play
— with me, the other dogs, and by herself. She is one
of the sweetest souls I've been lucky enough to have in my
home. When I think of the horrible trajectory her life was
on before you intervened on her behalf, I shudder. She would
never have had a chance in the city shelters and yet she is
an ideal companion. Rest assured that you have touched her
life and through hers, many other lives.
We thank everyone who has adopted from WRR
and other rescue shelters. You are the ones who truly give
cats and dogs a second chance at a happy and healthy life.
If you have room in your family for a furry addition, visit
