Today's guest blog post is from my friend Lisa Litwinski.
thanks Lisa for sharing Jakes' story with us.
Jake’s
amazing story involves a community of some of the most incredibly
caring & dedicated people in Canada & the USA who pulled together in a magnificent
collaboration to bring this wonderful rescue
dog home to Alberta & give him the best second chance possible.
Lisa Litwinski
deeply loves animals and has been devoted to animal rescue her whole life. She heard
about an Alberta Black Lab dog who got lost, ended up in an Imlay Shelter, and launched
Bring Jake Home to Alberta. (Jake did
not have a tattoo or microchip. With extensive efforts in Canada & the US
we were not able to locate his family.) Lisa partnered with Aimee Orn at Lapeer
County Animal Control, Wendy Yax at Lapeer’s Adoptable Animal Rescue in Imlay,
Michigan & April Oakes at Infinite WOOFS Rescue in Edmonton, Alberta so
that Jake could journey home to a loving foster home while we help him to
settle in & find his new forever family. (His Foster Mom Megan volunteered before
we had our Alberta rescue in place.
Wonderful people stepped up to join
Jake’s team & community of support. )Jake’s story is one of LOVE, hope,
& kindness, & the positive difference we can make. It is an honour to have worked with so many
caring, thoughtful people who have collaborated to help Jake. Thank you
