Welcome Ghali!

Written by a CP Intakes Volunteer

Col. Potter was notified about a sweet senior girl, who had been at a shelter since August 16. She is estimated to be between 10 and 12 years old by the shelter staff. She originally came to the shelter through the result of a cruelty investigation. She was signed over to the shelter with 8 cats, a pomeranian, and a pit bull.

While at the shelter, she had most of her teeth removed due to decay. She has some housebreaking issues and hearing issues. She is reported to get along well with the dogs and cats at the shelter.

This dear old gal sat patiently at the shelter looking for a chance at a happy forever, and she was passed by due to her age. She spent the last two weeks in the main lobby, right by the front door, in hopes she would catch the eye of someone looking for a friend,but to no avail. She's "too old". Local all-breed rescues were contacted, and again, no, they wouldn’t take her because she is 'too old'.

CP was Maggie’s last chance and thanks to Cheryl and Steve P. who opened up their hearts and home we now have a foster home for her and she will get her chance at the High Cotton we want for every cairn!

Maggie was pulled from the shelter on short notice by Frank H. and is now safely settled at the vet for vetting and boarding. Maggie's new CP name is Ghali, chosen by Foster Mom Cheryl. Ghali is pronounced "gah' lee" - which is Swahili for "precious, valuable, and dear."

Thank you Frank, Cheryl and Steve, and WELCOME Ghali!
