Brandy's story
Brandy was only about 6-8 months when Austin Police Department (APD) removed her from her home as part of an animal cruelty case. One of our volunteers (Lucia) picked her up from Austin Animal Center (ACC) and agreed to look after her until the case was resolved and she could be put up for adoption. But then, five days after being picked up, ACC called and said we had to take her back as APD had said we had to return her to her owner. Lucia took Brandy back to ACC in tears and with a packed goodie bag, full of all the things Brandy liked best, to include little carrots and a little cozy bed. She also included all her contact details, in case Brandy's owner didn't want to keep her. Two days later, ACC called to say the owner had surrendered her, so Lucia rushed to pick Brandy up again, this time with no restrictions!
Lucia initially fostered Brandy but in the end she and her husband decided to adopt her, as Brandy and Lupi appeared to get on so well. The girls got a brand new C&C cage with an upstairs, so they would have more room, and the rest is history! It's so much fun to watch them together, and both seem really happy!
