Lee and Sydney are a couple who live with their nine rescue dogs. They admit it isn’t always easy caring for their pack but they love what they do and will never get tired of looking after them. In fact, they still have so much time left to foster shelter dogs, like KC and Pearlie.
KC was a senior dog that lived with her previous family for 14 years. But when they moved, they surrendered her to the Sacramento SPCA. Pearly, meanwhile, was 7 years younger. She also lived with her owners in the past but she was always inside her crate.
The couple’s plan was to foster KC. They were smitten when they saw her photo online so they wasted no time and went to the rescue center right away. They stayed and played with her for several minutes and made sure that she was comfortable to be with them.
After several minutes, Lee and Sydney were ready to take KC home when they saw Pearly inside her kennel. She barked at them and they found it so cute and adorable, especially Sydney. So they asked the shelter workers if they could meet her and they were happy to oblige.
The lovely pair had fun with the dogs but they eventually had to go home. So they prepped KC and loaded her into their van. But minutes before they headed on their way, they talked and agreed that they couldn’t leave Pearly behind.
They doubted that they could foster two dogs at a time but they were so happy that they got to go home with both KC and Pearlie. Their time with them, however, was limited because they had a trip scheduled in a week’s time. They wanted to bring the pups with them but they couldn’t because they weren’t the rightful owners.
KC and Pearlie incorporated right into the couple’s pack. They got along with all the dogs and felt right at home. But by the end of the week, they had to leave because the Sacramento SPCA already placed them for adoption.
Lee and Sydney had no choice but to bring the dogs back to the shelter but the only people they found were the staffers. No one came to adopt the dogs. It was heartbreaking but also enlightening because the couple realized KC and Pearlie were already home.
