Tatum & Girls_square

Once upon a time, an adorable, freckle-faced mite of a pup came to Valley Humane Society with her many littermates. Named Tatum, the little Lab-mix stole the hearts of the Terwilliger family and went home to be treated like the princess she’d always dreamed of becoming. Tatum fit right into the family, and her human sisters love taking her for walks, playing, and cuddling.

Now called Lacey, the pampered pooch spends time with everyone equally, running with Mom, supervising Dad’s yard work, and snuggling with the girls at bedtime. Says Mom, “Thank you so much, Valley Humane, for all you do to rescue these sweet animals. She is such a wonderful addition, and we can’t imagine life without her.” How’s that for a fairy tale ending?
