Rescue Tails – Alfie and Poppy
We were thrilled when Downey Animal Shelter started networking their pets on facebook.
In their first networking list, we saw Alfie and Poppy.

They were both so adorable that we went to pull them.

We didn’t have any local fosters so we sent them to foster with Cassie in Washington.
Poppy was adopted immediately by a military family – but they didn’t want Alfie.

But within an hour of adopting Poppy, her new dad let her out in the backyard and scared Poppy escaped. The new family didn’t let us know for six hours.
We immediately paid for a Find Toto alert and within 20 minutes, a lady called and told us that she found Poppy and already took her to the humane society.
Cassie drove to the humane society and claimed Poppy. We decided to find a new home that would take both Poppy and Alfie as a pair.
Poppy and Alfie are now living in a wonderful home where they can be together.
