Dolly

My story

FairyTAILS do come true!! Meet Dolly, a girl who started her life forging for food on the streets of Roatan, Honduras. She was homeless and struggling to survive. Dolly dreamed of a life where she could be loved and live in a home with a warm bed to sleep on and food in her belly. One day, Dolly came upon a building where she could hear lots of kitties inside – they seemed to be having so much fun! Little did she know that this moment would change her life forever. You see, this building was special – it was the cat condo where Flight Angels of Roatan took care of kitties and nursed them back to health before they were flown on their freedom flights to the US. Roatan, Honduras is overpopulated with cats and dogs who often experience very short lives as they are unable to survive in the jungle for long. The kitties inside the building were given a second chance at life – Dolly wanted this so badly for herself…but she was not a kitty and the deportation regulations for dogs are very different with bigger challenges. Dolly hung out at Flight Angels of Roatan everyday – she befriended the rescue founder, Angie, and was given food, water and cared for best as possible while still living outside. Dolly didn’t know that this situation would soon come to a close – the rescue would be forced to shut its doors, and she would once-again be struggling to survive. In April, the sun, moon and stars all came together to change Dolly’s destiny when Michele’s Rescue visited Flight Angels of Roatan. While bringing donations to the cat condo, Michele’s Rescue met and fell in love with Dolly.  The 2 rescues came together to devise a plan to save Dolly. This plan involved: 8 Days of travel 3,833 Miles 4 (!) Countries 1 Ferry 1 Transport Van 4 Cars driven by volunteers that relayed Dolly across the last 5 states, handing her off to each other to get her the final stretch to Grand Rapids MI.   2 Dedicated and Passionate Rescues Dolly arrived in Grand Rapids on July 5 – ironically with fireworks overhead as downtown Grand Rapids celebrated America’s Independence….which was now Dolly’s celebration as well! Dolly is currently in a foster home enjoying love, a warm bed and food in her belly. She is waiting for the final leg in her incredible journey – a furever family she can call her own! Dolly is good with dogs and cats. She is very sweet and on the shy side. She would thrive in a quiet household where she can chill on the sofa and reflect on her fairyTAIL new life!
