A campaign by Dallas Animal Services to raise money to support the care of the parents of a dog rescued last month has been completed.
Stormy the dog first was rescued from a storm drain on Nov. 25, along with his siblings Sampson and Sadie and his parents. Stormy, Sampson and Sadie were all adopted out on Dec. 1, but the trio's parents remain in the care of DAS in need of more training and socialization.
To meet that end, DAS wanted to send the pair to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, where they'll receive one-on-one attention, a dedicated caretaker and the training they need to eventually be adoptable pets.
For that to be possible, DAS needed to raise $1,400 to cover the cost of fuel to fly the dogs to the sanctuary. Stormy's adoptive parents kicked off the fund-raising with a $100 donation and the rest was given by other DAS supporters.
On Friday, DAS published the following message on their Facebook page, where they said they raised the necessary funds in just 24 hours.
