bianca’s Adoption Story

Bianca with her new mom

💙ADOPTED ❤️ Oct 1, 2024 – 8yo Bianca’s (fka Gwen) journey had an unusual start.

In early 2024, Bianca was sent to a Korean shelter as a stray. From her microchip, they located her owner, who was hospitalized. She begged the shelter to care for Bianca while she attended to her own health. Oddly, the shelter agreed, & thus began Bianca’s life in a cage. 5m later, the shelter contacted the owner, who asked them to keep holding onto her. The shelter said, “We are not a hotel.” At that point, we stepped in, rescuing her in June 2024.

Bianca’s next step in her journey was to LA w/a flight volunteer (🙏🏻!) in Aug. She then went to @kperla12 🙏🏻, who fostered her until she went to foster mom Amanda…who soon became her forever mom! 🥰

“Gwen decided to change her name to Bianca, a very middle-aged Italian lady who drinks espresso all day while smoking in public, lol 🤌🏻☕😮‍💨.

She’s fashionable, opinionated, & a bit loud, but she is doing phenomenal! Miss Bianca is super smart. We’ve learned she hates cars, bikes, & trucks—anything w/wheels. They are a menace to her existence.

Initially, she was very anxious. Always pacing & would barely sleep, but after a few months, she finally calmed down. She cannot sleep at night unless she’s under the blankets, & she needs to fall asleep on my shoulder. She often lies on a pillow thinking she is human too.

She has 6 favorite toys: Kermit, Rudolph, Claire, Abominable Snowman, & her lamb. She is so quirky & amusing! She LOVES bananas & apples, plus any other treats she can extort out of me. I love how she stares at me, like I hold all the answers in the universe. She hates when I leave the house; she tries to bite my feet & yells at me while doing circles lol. Sometimes, when sleeping, she’ll suddenly wake up & start barking, then run in circles for no apparent reason. Any food that I open or eat, she thinks is for her, & she must yell at me for some, lol. Basically, the world in fact does revolve around Bianca :)

I adopted her bc I fell in love w/her personality, and after the passing of my dog, she was the miracle I needed to heal my heart. I love her more than anything!”

Congrats Bianca & Amanda! 2 peas in a pod! 🫛💕
