HAPPY TAILS
Speck’s Happy Tail!
After 1,288 days, Speck found her home.
For more than three years, Speck called HART home while she waited for someone special to find her. At 15 years old, that day finally came.
Now Speck is spending her golden years surrounded by love, enjoying treats, supervised garden adventures, and the comfort of a home and family all her own.
