Michou’s story began with love and security, but life took an unexpected turn when her owner faced difficult circumstances. After losing her job and needing to move to a place that didn’t allow pets, Michou and her three canine companions were left at the vet clinic we work with. Her owner paid a small deposit and said goodbye, leaving Michou confused and heartbroken. Despite the care provided by the clinic, Michou was often seen sitting by the door, waiting for her owner to return, her sadness clear to everyone.

Recognizing Michou’s emotional struggle, we decided to step in and bring her to our shelter. It didn’t take long for this older girl to find comfort in the presence of our volunteers, whose companionship helped her overcome the sadness she had been carrying. Michou’s gentle nature and love for human company shone through, and soon, her spirits began to lift.

We knew that Michou was ready for a fresh start with a new family, and as fate would have it, a wonderful family came along—although their original intention was to adopt a puppy. They quickly realized that the high energy of a puppy wasn’t the right fit for their home, especially with their cats. But they didn’t give up on their search for the perfect furry family member. That’s when Michou caught their eye. Her calm energy and gentle demeanor were exactly what they were looking for.

Bringing Michou into their home was a seamless transition. It’s always extra special when an older dog, who has faced so much loss, gets the chance at a forever family. Michou’s joy is now visible in her eyes and smile, and it’s clear that she has found her perfect match. Her story is a testament to the fact that sometimes, an older dog is just what a family needs—her temperament and personality were a perfect fit, and now she’s living the life she truly deserves.

We’re so happy for Michou and her new family, and we want to thank everyone involved in giving her this second chance at love and happiness.
