Lily Angel Loves Her “Angels”

Dear Everyone,

This is Lily Angel. I wanted to thank everyone who helped me get my Muffin’s Halo. I love it so much! My foster mom will let me wear it when I go to work with her and at home when I’m allowed to walk around. Before my Muffin’s Halo, I used to bump into walls and things with my head. With the halo, however, I still bump around, but the halo takes the bumps for me! At first I was a little nervous about wearing it because I felt like there was something in front of me, but I got used to it very quickly. Now I can follow my mom and the other dogs around without hurting my head!

This halo gift is one of the many things for which I give thanks. I thought my life was going to end when my original people took me to the animal shelter after letting my hair mat so badly I didn’t even resemble a pure-bred Maltese. My eyes had been hurting me for a very long time, but my people either didn’t know or didn’t care. Once at the shelter, I was VERY scared – loud noises, fearful barking, strange smells and people – I didn’t know what was happening other than it was bad. Luckily, the nice people at American Maltese Association Rescue were contacted around the same time my foster mom saw me on a website and called the shelter. The shelter people put my mom in touch with AMAR and that’s when my life changed for the better. I had my eyes removed so they wouldn’t hurt me anymore and I got to go home with my foster mom who’s been doting on me ever since she picked me up. Because of American Maltese Association Rescue, my mom can take care of me the way I deserve to be taken care of – as all dogs should be! And now with my Muffin’s Halo, I get everyone’s attention when I go for walks – I feel like a princess!

From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you to Silvie at Muffin’s Halo, everyone at American Maltese Association Rescue, and the late Maltese, George, and his wonderful mom Daisy who paid it forward and allowed me to use his wonderful halo. I feel like the luckiest pup in the world!
