Dusty Showers is a dog rescuer from Florida, and recent he took part in the rescue of a dog living in a burnt out home in Tampa. Â It’s unclear if the dog had just been taking shelter in the home or was part of a family that had once lived there.
Shelly, as she’s now called, had been seen for a while before Showers had been called in. Â He went out to the home and made repeated attempts at rescuing her, but at first wasn’t having much luck.
He set trap after trap, and returned daily to get a hold of her and get her to some much needed care. Â However, the crafty Shelly eluded him time, and time again.
Finally, he went out one day and there was Shelly, caught in one of the live traps. Â OK, so now he got her, and now it was time to get her some much needed TLC.
Shelly was very wary at first. Â One could only imagine the things this poor dog has seen and been through. Â It was slow goings at first, but Shelly would come around.
Once taken out of the trap, her attitude seemed to change immediately. Â She’d gone from fearful of Showers, to wanting to become permanently affixed to him. Â She really is a sweet little dog.
Showers would love to keep Shelly, but he already is pushing it with the number of rescued animals he already has. Â Luckily, he knew of someone that would be willing to foster her.
Shelly wouldn’t be at the foster home forever though. Â It wasn’t long until she found a forever home, with a great family that loves her very much. Â She is very happy to be in her new home, and her new family has renamed her Kiya.
