A Helping Hand
Widetich continued to explain why she felt so compelled to step in and help Drools in such a drastic and unusual way.
In her typical kind manner, she was keen to clarify that she didn’t blame the shelter or think they weren’t doing a good enough job to get Drools rehoused—but that they just didn’t have the means to get him noticed.
“These remote shelters are so understaffed,” she said to KCNC. “And just don’t have the capacity to adequately market all these sweet pups.”
Big Ambitions
Though many at home were amazed and inspired by Widetich’s passion for helping animals and her incredible selflessness, for her it just seemed clearly the right thing to do.
But not only that—Widetich was determined to do everything she could to help more dogs in the future, too.
“If my spending the night in the shelter for a few nights helps even one dog get adopted, I will have done my job,” she said. “But I’m not stopping at just one—they all deserve a second chance at happily ever after.”
