It\u2019s always heartbreaking when a pet passes away, but one of the best things you can do in their honor is to open your heart to another dog in need \u2014 especially shelter dogs who are in danger of being put down.<\/p>\n
Recently, one woman noticed a familiar face on a shelter\u2019s euthanasia list, and began a journey to save the dog\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Whitney Fang, founder of Hearts & Bones Rescue in Dallas, Texas, shared the story on TikTok of how a dog named Glinda came into her life by chance.<\/p>\n
She was scrolling a shelter\u2019s euthanasia list, and noticed something very familiar about this dog \u2014 with her black-brown fur and gray muzzle, was a \u201creplica\u201d of a previous dog she had named Luna, who had passed away<\/p>\n
Whitney wrote that Luna was her inspiration to start rescuing dogs over a dozen years ago. Realizing it was a sign from above, she set out to save the dog from being put down.<\/p>\n

\nShe went to the shelter and visited the dog in her kennel. While the dog was shy and nervous, she quickly warmed up to Whitney. It was an instant match.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew immediately that she was coming to my house,\u201d Whitney wrote. \u201cMeet Glinda.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glinda had several medical issues that needed attention, which along with overcrowding led to her being on the shelter\u2019s kill list. She was sick, had masses on her body, and had issues in her mammary area, likely due to overbreeding.<\/p>\n
But Glinda underwent surgery to remove the masses and she is now recovering in Whitney\u2019s care. \u201cShe tinkles when she sees me so I know we are going to have a good time here!\u201d Whitney wrote on TikTok.<\/p>\n
\n@whitneysdogs<\/a> <\/p>\n I met a dog this weekend on the euthanasia list that reminded me of my heart dog, Luna. Luna was the reason why I started doing rescue over a dozen years ago. Meet Glinda, a mama dog who found herself on the euthanasia list due to lack of space as well as clear medical issues in her mammary area, likely due to overbreeding. She is a medium-sized, gray-muzzled, shy, black with brown speckles kind of dog. Well, I knew immediately that she was coming to my house. She got the surgery she needed to remove multiple masses, and is now safe at home with me recovering. She tinkles when she sees me so I know we are going to have a good time here! I can\u2019t wait to share her journey with you guys. This one is for you, Luna \u2764\ufe0f Follow @whitneysdogs for more foster glow-ups! #dogrescue<\/a> #shelterovercapacity<\/a> #helpingshelterdogs<\/a> #fosteringsaveslives<\/a> #heartsandbonesrescue<\/a><\/p>\n
