From Rags to Riches - Sea Nettle's Story - Hailey M
This year we decided to try something new with our partnership with Delaware Subaru - we partnered on having a Trunk or Treat event at our shelter. This event brought in more than double the normal foot traffic on a Saturday! Sea Nettle was one of the 11 animals who found her home during the event. This sweet girl was brought to the SPCA after being found as a stray having most likely been hit by a car. Her back leg was badly injured and had to be removed. She recovered from her surgery in a loving foster home, and she has healed beautifully! We were so impressed with how quickly she figured out how to get around on only 3 legs- she certainly doesn’t let it slow her down! At the Trunk or Treat event, her new parents saw and fell in love with her, and she went home with them and a doggie sibling that day!
