According to the shelter’s Facebook post, this pet owner originally surrendered Gracie because she was about to move into an assisted living facility. She assumed she wouldn’t be allowed to keep her pup, so she made the very difficult decision to give her up.
“Gracie’s owner’s heart was heavy when she had to surrender her beloved dog due to her move to assisted living,” IndyHumane wrote on Facebook. “She thought she wouldn’t be able to have Gracie by her side in her new home. However, fate had a different plan.”
Mom and Gracie back together again
As it turns out, the elderly woman got the green light to bring her dog with her into the assisted living facility. This dog mom couldn’t get back to the shelter fast enough for her reunion with Gracie!
“After the owner found out she was allowed to have two pets, she rushed back to the shelter to reunite with Gracie, who was still patiently waiting for a forever home,” the shelter continued in their caption.
How wonderful for this pooch that her new home would be with the owner she already knew and loved! Watching this dog mom’s reunion with Gracie is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
“Gracie’s story is a reminder that sometimes, things happen for a reason,” the Facebook post concluded. “Despite the challenges, love always finds a way to bring us back together!”
