🌪 Sunday Success Story: Gale the Storm Pup 🌪
Back in early 2022, the UK was battered by fierce storms—Eunice and Dudley. At the very same time in Romania, another storm was brewing… but this one came with a silver lining. Eunice and Dudley, two dogs cruelly thrown from an apartment window, found refuge at Alina’s shelter. Just weeks later, Eunice gave birth to five beautiful pups—our legendary “storm pups.”
Gale was one of them.
Fast-forward to today, and Gale has spent three wonderful years in her forever home with Amanda and her family. From sponsored pup to sofa queen, her journey is a powerful reminder of what love and second chances can do. 💛
Amanda shares:
“Our story with Gale. I sponsored Gale as a puppy when she was born in Alina's shelter with a view to hopefully being able to adopt her. We had been looking to adopt a rescue dog in the UK but many charities overlooked us due to having 2 young children. We found this really frustrating as we have always had dogs, we live on a farm with lots of space and our children are used to dogs. Finding OUR was brilliant and we began our adoption process for Gale. Adopting any rescue dog is great whether it be in the UK or from abroad. It was during the travel ban though and it was heartbreaking not knowing when she would arrive and difficult for OUR but they were fab at keeping in touch with us. Eventually our wonderful pup arrived to us in the December. I cried as I was so overwhelmed to finally have her. She settled in so well. She is master of the house and has a strong bond with our other rescue dog Peggy and one of our rescue cats Athena. She is not so keen on our farm rescue collie Jess - I don't know why but whenever Jess comes into our house Gale has to square her up, perhaps because it's her space. Gale is good with the children too and very much protects our home. She enjoys walks off the lead and zoomies but can sometimes be scared of things outside. She loves cuddles on the sofa and curling up with us and sleeps on our bed. We can't imagine life without her.”
From a stormy start to a life full of snuggles, zoomies and love—thank you Amanda and family for showing Gale what forever really means. 💫
