I adopted Grandpa, now Max, from ACT 3 years ago. I didn't know his sad story when I first saw him on the ACT website. I saw this beautiful white fluffy poodle and I fell in love. He was the sweetest little guy.
An ACT volunteer went to one of the small shelters in another small town to pull several other dogs that needed rescuing. While there she saw this hurt and scared little white dog in the back of the shelter. She asked about him and was told they were going to put him down. They said he was old and had been hit by a car and his pelvis was broken and nobody came looking for him. She told them that they were NOT putting him down and she brought him back to ACT.
After many, many months in his foster home he was able to walk and play and had a second chance at life. He ran the halls at the ACT center and was loved by many.
The volunteers at ACT see hope in every animal they meet. They know they can't save them all but that does not stop them from trying. If it wasn't for that hope, Max, or Grandpa as he was known around the ACT center, wouldn't be with us today. Yes, he was old and he was hurt, but thank goodness ACT is the HOPE that these animals need. Thank you for my sweet boy!
