Let Tulsi�s Story Be a Reminder That You CAN Make a Difference

The story begins with unbearable suffering but ends with tremendous joy. A 5-month-old puppy arrived at our shelter infested with ticks and suffering with an extreme case of mange. She was weak, miserable, and had all but given up. Her fur was falling out in clumps and she was diagnosed with severe anaemia and enlarged lymph nodes.

After months of treatment, she was barely recognizable. She had transformed from a sickly, suffering dog into a vibrant, healthy one. Back then, she was known as Lantana. Now she is called Tulsi, and she lives on a farm with her family in Vermont.

Tulsi just celebrated her one-year anniversary in her new home, and her adopter has shared this lovely update:

�Tulsi is leaving behind her �puppy� habits a little more every day, and maturing into an observant, sensitive, friendly, funny dog. She is VERY smart, and gobbles up all of her training. She has mastered sit, down, stay, leave it, come, place, and heel. We are working on �shake� and �hug.� She is really wonderful at off-leash heeling!

�My mom calls her a little ambassador, because she is friendly and charming with everyone she

meets, and they very quickly fall in love with her. She’s a dainty dog, mincing about with her fancy little feet, and has won over a lot of people who don’t like dogs because she’s so well behaved and delicate.

�Tulsi has settled happily into a routine. She waits so politely for her meals, and has developed this funny habit of marching over to me after she’s finished to indicate how satisfied she was with her good meal. She’s very expressive, and very smart. She definitely utilizes the sympathy sad-face a lot (it works better on my mom than on me). When she’s upset, worried, or just trying to get something from you, her ears crinkle up. We’ve started calling it �origami ears.� Now that she is calming down a bit and leaving her puppy jazz behind, she’s even cuddlier than ever. In the evening, all she wants in the world is to drape herself over me like a furry throw blanket.�

You CAN make a difference for the animals. And Tulsi�s story is proof of that. Her medical care was made possible thanks to incredible people around the world who fund treatment for abandoned and neglected dogs and cats in Thailand. These are animals who have no one else.
