Repost @theanimalpad Before becoming a TAP dog, Virgo was kept locked in a backyard in TJ. She sadly and shockingly had “owners,” but also luckily had a hero neighbor looking out for her. This neighbor decided that she couldn’t watch this poor dog waste away for 1 more day, and if there was no animal cruelty or humane law enforcement to help rescue her, she would do it herself. One day after Virgo’s owners had left, this neighbor pulled her over the fence to safety and didn’t look back. She came to us the very next day, and we started to slowly breathe life back into her. In our first ever post of Virgo, we talked about her future, ending the caption with — “We promise you… soon, you won’t believe that you are looking at the same dog.💚” Well……. The dog formerly known as Virgo now goes by Vida, which couldn’t be more fitting considering she is living LIFE. Vida does winters here in San Diego, but summers in Brooklyn, NY. 💁♀️ She rides the subway and sleeps under mom’s feet the entire ride. When her moms take her to parties, she’s the most social one there. Yes, she’s lucky to be alive, but we feel extremely lucky and honored to have helped her get here. Vida is #whywerescue.💘 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMraAFJZ2R/?utm_medium=tumblr
