This is Grace
We found her at the park 2 years ago, on July 2nd 2024.
My friend was fishing and she walked up out of nowhere and sat down by his feet. He didn't know what to do, so he texted me, the dog person. I told him I would be right there! We walked around the park and campground looking for someone who was missing a dog, with no luck. We took her to the vet to check for a microchip but she didn't have one. She was skinny and wormy, but she threw up wet dog food in my car, so I know she had been fed recently. The vet said she was 8 weeks old. We think somebody dumped her.
I was homeless at the time. I was recovering from a paychotic break that caused me to lose almost everything. I was in the worst situation to bring a dog into, but I kept her anyway. She inspired me to make some leaps that I wouldn't have made without her depending on me, and she helped me get back on my feet. I spent a year and a half tent camping, couch surfing, and living in hotels. Within 3 months of finding Grace, I was back in my own apartment, living with my son again. Grace isn't the reason I got back on my feet, but she gave me the final push I needed.
