A letter penned from the heart found its way into exactly the right person’s hands. It turned out to be simply what was needed to bring comfort to three women: one adorable pooch.
Sharon Blackwell had adopted Shell, a dainty pup, some nine years prior from Stray Rescue of St. Louis. She gave Shell a loving home, and over time, they formed a strong bond.
Unfortunately, Sharon suffered a massive stroke and then developed Alzheimer’s and was no longer able to care for Shell. Her daughter, thankfully, took Shell under her wing.
Sharon’s daughter and Shell were very happy together until yet another misfortune struck: Sharon’s daughter suddenly developed cancer and had no one else to care for Shell.
With no other hope, Sharon petitioned to the same rescue center from where Shell had been originally adopted.
The heartfelt letter read:
The letter was received by the rescue organization Stray Rescue of St. Louis. Then it was shared on their blog.
It seemed that the sadness of their predicament touched the heart of one particular woman, thankfully. The woman, who had lost her own pet, spotted the blog post and was immediately drawn to the cute dog. So, she decided to go and meet Shell and set out to the rescue center.
From the get-go, it seemed that Shell was exactly what the woman needed to help heal a broken heart.
Reports stated that Shell settled beautifully into her new home. It must have brought Sharon and her daughter great comfort knowing that Shell is happy and well loved.
