On March 23rd, a tiny 4-pound Terrier/Chihuahua mix found himself in a very big and dangerous world. He was spotted running loose along Lago Del Oro Blvd near the entrance to the Miraval resort – alone, frightened, and at real risk.
Fortunately, SaddleBrooke resident Tami Graeber happened to be in the right place at the right time. She scooped up the little guy and brought him to safety, immediately contacting SaddleBrooke Pet Rescue Network (SBPRN) for help locating his owner.
Because of his young age, it wasn’t surprising that he had no microchip and no collar, so the search began the old-fashioned way. His photo was posted on Nextdoor, and fliers were posted along Lago Del Oro. While everyone waited for an owner to come forward, Tami opened her home and fostered him with love and care.
Seven days passed. No one came looking for him--but plenty of people hoped to adopt him. SBPRN volunteers stepped in, interviewing and conducting home visits with several wonderful candidates.
Before his adoption, he will receive his vaccinations, be neutered, and finally get the microchip he deserves. His soon-to-be- forever family, Brenda and Lynn Pleasant, have welcomed him into their home as a foster until everything is official. He’s settling in beautifully, especially with his two playful Chihuahua sisters, who bonded with him right away.
This little boy is now living the dream – safe, loved, and surround by canine companionship. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped this homeless pup. Your kindness truly made all the difference.
