| Miranda was on "B" Ward at the local "kill-shelter". "B" Ward is the special room for dogs that will not be available for the public to adopt. She had a litter of puppies & when one of the employees tried to reach into her cage, she tried to protect her puppies. So she was labeled as a biter & put on 10 days quarantine. This was not good for the puppies because it meant they were being kept in an environment where they were likely to contract disease, worms, fleas, ticks ..... Because her confinement meant almost certain death to the puppies, the shelter manager agreed to let us foster her & keep her in quarantine. Since she hadn't be read her Miranda rights before being imprisoned in solitary, she got her name. ************ But it was all worth it because Miranda, the mommy who protected her puppies & was going to lose her life over it, has a new home of her very own. |
