Adopting a pet is a life-changing event in the lives of both humans and animals. Almost instantly, the parties involved become a family. New pet parents promise to take care of their animal forever and in return they are provided with unconditional love! Some people are called to adopt extra special animals who need maximum love and support and Debbie Pearl is one of those amazing people!
Two years ago, she adopted Elliot, a mixed breed pup, from Cairo, Egypt. Unfortunately, Elliot was abused and badly injured but this did not deter Debbie from becoming his new mom! She was determined to help him stand on his own four feet again and live his best life!
Upon arriving in the US, Elliot was fitted for prosthetic legs and despite the initial challenges of learning to walk, he slowly gained his new lease on life! He is now running, jumping, and even visiting the beach with his other furry siblings.
Recently, Debbie was asked to adopt another puppy from Egypt whose needs were nearly identical to Elliot’s. This sweet girl had also been badly injured and needed four prosthetic legs too. Without hesitation Debbie said yes, and Zoe joined the family!
Zoe was fitted for her new legs right away and once they were ready; she took to them like a duck takes to water! Everyone was amazed and the family credits Elliot with getting Zoe ready for her new legs. He showed her how great life could be with new limbs, so she was prepared once it was her turn! Now, these two are inseparable and lovingly referred to as “twins” wherever they go!
Fans shared their support for Debbie and the “twins” with inspirational comments and well wishes:
“This story, their spirit, your endless love and support… the world needs more of this. Bless you Debbie.”
“They looked so happy when they were taking their second set of first steps… I’m crying!”
“This is the most beautiful thing. Thank you for giving them the lives they should have had to start off with.”
