A dog named Shortcake was turned over to the Philadelphia Animal Control Service with “marks of lifelong trauma”. A rescue organization, New Leash on Life, stepped in after learning that dogs like Shortcake rarely find a home and end up on the euthanasia list.
New Leash on Life takes dogs at risk and pairs them with inmates for training and socialization.
When Shortcake was released from Animal Control, she needed comprehensive medical treatment. The costs were too great for the organization, but fortunately New Leash on Life received a medical grant. Shortcake’s transformation is nothing short of a miracle. Everyone who met the brave dog fell in love with her, and she quickly became the show’s ambassador. She even went to a Jay-Z concert!
Shortcake’s future family has lost their dog Molly to cancer and are not ready to adopt a new dog. But fate had other plans. When one of their cousins adopted a dog in Shortcake’s class, he told them about this special dog that also needed a home. Fate took care of the rest. They simply can’t resist Shortcake’s perpetual sway and her contagious smile! The worthy dog now has a permanent home where it will be safe and loved forever. It doesn’t get any better than this!
