Meet Lisa and Maeley Mae
After losing her Schnauzer, Sasha, Lisa was uncertain about adopting another dog. At the Doggie Depot event, she discovered fostering, and soon began caring for Maeley Mae, a dog with mobility issues, through the MN boxer Rescue. Despite Maeley Mae’s unknown health condition and several medical challenges, Lisa ultimately adopted her, covering her care with help from ACF, donations, and nonprofit support. Now a joyful seven-year-old, Maeley Mae thrives as Lisa’s support companion, and together they inspire each other to keep going, truly living up to their label as “quite the pair.” |
