On a warm July 5th, 2024, Vera Bradley and her three siblings arrived at MSC from a rural shelter.

Little did anyone know, Vera’s journey was about to take a dramatic turn. As the day progressed, her foster noticed that Vera wasn’t her usual playful self. Concern grew as her condition worsened, and by evening, she was rushed to a local vet hospital. The diagnosis was heartbreaking: Vera had tested positive for Parvo, a deadly virus that claims the lives of many puppies.

Vera’s tiny body fought valiantly against the virus. Each day was a battle, filled with uncertainty and fear. The vet staff worked tirelessly, providing her with the best care possible. For over a week, Vera’s life hung in the balance. But this little warrior wasn’t ready to give up. With each passing day, she grew stronger, her spirit unbroken.

The turning point came thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters. Their donations funded the life-saving treatment Vera so desperately needed. Slowly but surely, she began to recover. Her eyes, once filled with pain, now sparkled with hope and determination.

Today, Vera Bradley is a picture of health and happiness. She thrives in her new home, mastering basic commands and bringing endless joy to her adoptive family. Her story is a testament to the power of love, care, and community support.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to Vera’s recovery. Your kindness made it possible for her to find her forever home, where she is cherished and loved. Thank you for helping us give animals like Vera the second chance they deserve.
