Candace

I had to say goodbye to my sweet Candi about a month ago. It has taken me this long to find the words to write her success story. Candi is the sweetest little girl and it is taking me longer to adjust being without her. When Candace came into foster, we weren’t sure she would get much attention because of her diabetes. After 5 months, I was starting to accept that there might be a possibility she would’t be adopted. Out of the blue, I received a call from Ginny and John Danko. Ginny wanted to know everything about Candi. As we talked, I could hear the excitement in her voice. So I brought up her diabetes, and before I could ask if she had any concerns… Ginny said, “it’s no problem!” It turns out Ginny and John have been volunteering for SAYR since 2017. They fostered Winston and fostered / adopted Twinkee where both needed a little extra care. They have also fostered for other organizations throughout the years so I knew they might be a good match. When I mentioned Ginny and John to the rescue, they could not have received nicer praises! There was no question that they would be perfect for Candi. Ginny, John and Cammie (their fur baby) made the 3 hour trip to meet Candi and it could not have gone any better. It did not take Candi long to warm up and join them on the couch for a few pets and snuggles. We wanted to make sure Candi and Cammie were OK walking with each other and to no surprise, it was like they knew each other forever. That was all I had to see… we knew the next part would be difficult so we said our goodbyes. I was happy Ginny texted me pictures on their way home which helped reassure me she would be just fine. We text regularly and I get to see what a wonderful life Candi has with Ginny, John and Cammie. Thank you Candi for allowing me to foster you and for leaving a huge paw print in my heart! Thank you Ginny and John for loving her and giving her the best home ever! Congratulations Candace!!!
