On November 4, as I handed Lolavie to her smiling new parents, I thought about the beautiful trust she and I had built together during her time with me. And though I am thrilled for Lolavie, my joy is tinged with deep sadness and constant worry. Our Yoda has cancer, and Howard and I are devastated.
Join Animal League America's Volunteer, Foster Parent, National Spokesperson, and Board Member Beth Stern and our rescued and adopted dogs, cats, puppies and kittens and make 2023, and every year, the best ever for homeless animals as they journey toward their loving futures.
