I’m really happy to announce that China, now known as Mara, was adopted two weeks ago and is doing extremely well. She was adopted by a family in South Pasadena who has two other small dogs that Mara really enjoys. The whole family understands that it will take time for her to feel completely secure.

What a 100% change from six months ago when Cathy rescued her from the alley behind her house. I like her new name, which her owner Nancy wrote, “We have renamed her Mara (the Acoma goddess of travelers) Supertramp (because she took the long way home). Mara Supertramp, but we call her Mara.”

She truly did take the long way home to her forever home! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped her get to her home.
