Odenton family creates bucket list for adopted senior dog
When Melissa Davis and her family went to BARCS in June, her child Raven had an unusual request — to adopt the shelter’s oldest dog.
Enter Kaylee, an 11-year-old American Staffordshire terrier who was brought to the Baltimore animal shelter when her owners could no longer care for her.
The Odenton family adopted Kaylee despite a slew of medical challenges the dog faced, including early kidney disease, a torn ACL, and thyroid carcinoma. And they quickly set about creating a bucket list to make their dog’s final days special.
Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Davis family submitted its story to the Petco Foundation’s Holiday Wishes campaign, which won a $10,000 grant for BARCS at the Petco Store in Halethorpe.
