This just happened. A baby, a mom, restraining orders and an older German Sheppie who needs somewhere safe to land. Baby and Mom have a temporary place to go, their friend cannot join them. The call comes to The Pongo Fund. Can we help? Can we find a safe place for this sweet older girl, where she will be loved and cared for until she can get back home? These weren’t the calls we expected when we began this wonderful mission just 7 ½ years ago. But we do our best.

Our first call went to Jamie at Sniff Dog Hotel. We’ve talked about Jamie before, she and her Sniff Team work miracles on a daily basis. But here’s the thing about Jamie. She doesn’t ask who’s going to pay or how long we’ll need. No, what Jamie says is “We need to find her the best suite we have.” Not a kennel. Not a room. No, this senior girl will get the best suite in the hotel. Bath, brushing, massage, nail trim, she’ll get it all.

And that means just hours after the first call came in, we already have things ready to go. Pillows will be fluffed, blankets will be warmed, the bed will be just right. All so a sweet older German Shepherd will be safe.

Thank you Sniff Dog Hotel.

And this is why we Pongo.
