We were recently asked by one of our shelter partners to help with a large cruelty case – 20 Chihuahuas were rescued in total.
While bringing them all into Sanctuary was not feasible, we did help with placement for some and brought a tiny bit of Sesame Street into our Sanctuary.
Meet Ernie and Bert! Despite their life of hardship, these two are the biggest sweethearts. Much like their namesakes from the public television show, one is a bit more of a grumpy personality than the other. Even when Ernie and Bert bickered on the TV show, they always found a way to stay friends, teaching us about forgiveness and reconciliation. The interactions of our very own Ernie and Bert here at the Sanctuary teach us pretty much the same lesson; that opposites can be friends, that feelings are valid, and that friendships involve laughter and forgiveness – perhaps this is their purpose.
We believe that every dog, regardless of their past, deserves a second chance. For the first time in their lives, Ernie and Bert are now safe and loved. Their bodies, souls and hearts will now begin to heal.
Welcome home, Ernie and Bert, your hardest days are behind you, and your best ones are just beginning.
If you’d like to help us begin their much-needed vet care, your support makes all the difference. Every dollar goes to the care of our Sanctuary residents, and donations are always tax deductible.
