A nonprofit organization was able to stop Darla's euthanasia seconds before the procedure, as she was being wheeled into the euthanasia room because she was too scared to walk, according to a news release Friday.
DENVER — A Denver foster family has saved an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy from euthanasia at a Texas animal shelter that has struggled to save half of the 8,000 pets dropped off there every year, according to a news release Friday from the nonprofit organization Austin Pets Alive! .But Austin Pets Alive! shared her story with animal rescue groups across the country, and Darla caught the eye of Mile High Lab Rescue in Denver.
“We had to pull her, we had to save her,” Jordana Moerbe, APA!'s National Shelter Support Director, said. “We hope that she’s able to come out of her shell and be the happy puppy she deserves to be. It's what every one of the pets in the shelter deserves, and that's what we're working so hard for, hand in hand with the LACS staff."
The program was born out of the need created by the historic 2021winter storm that stranded many shelter pets.
