They spent years locked in a cage. No walks, no comfort, no love.
In February 2024, after years of trying, I finally got Terry and Nelson out of that life.
This video shares the chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming story of their first year of freedom. From escapes to learning how to be touched for the first time… it’s been quite the ride.
Thanks to all of you who’ve asked after them and cheered them on from afar.
