Saving Missy
Missy with her new family.
Having lost her home, Sylvia Wise found an apartment where the landlord claimed to allow pets, but once she moved in the story changed. Exhausted from the roller-coaster she was living, Sylvia decided that she could no longer keep Missy and researched options online, finding PAWS Chicago’s Foreclosure Program only a few days after it launched on PAWS Chicago’s Web site. But even though she knew Missy would be guaranteed life at PAWS Chicago, the decision was far from easy.
Dear PAWS Chicago,
Words cannot convey my gratitude for what you have done for Missy and myself. From my heart, I thank you. I will continue to speak out in support of PAWS Chicago to everyone who will listen and keep all of you in my prayers. Although what has happened is what is best for Missy, it still saddens me. However, “this too shall pass”. I will always think of her as my baby and hope that if for any reason, she is returned, you would be so kind as to let me know.
Thank you again for all of your efforts and GOD bless.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Wise
After many tears, Sylvia decided to part ways with her beloved companion, saying, “I’ve had to accept the reality that if you don’t have your home, there’s nowhere to really put your dog.
Sometimes you have to do what’s best for them, and I think this is best for her.” Having lived with Missy for seven years, Sylvia said the decision was harder than the day she lost her job and even worse than the day her home was foreclosed on: “I lost my car then I lost my house and then I lost my dog and it seems to me I lost everything.”
