Sometimes life throws you a curveball—wet, shivering, and hiding in the grass.
That’s how Romee entered the story.
A soaking wet, shivering pup huddled in the tall grass on a rainy Georgia roadside. Most people would’ve driven by. But not Russell and Courtney.
They spotted her, pulled over, and Russell stepped into the downpour. What happened next? Romee leapt into his arms, licking his face like she’d been waiting for him her whole life.
No collar. No microchip. Just a hungry, trembling dog who decided, in that instant, that she was home.
They took her to the vet—no ID, no one looking. Just skin and bones, but otherwise okay. They named her Romee.
The first few days, she was timid. Startled by sudden movements, but always glued to Russell’s side. By day three, she was exploring, playing, and showing the kind of joy only a dog who’s been saved can show.
Now? She’s not just their dog. She’s family. A living, breathing reminder that sometimes, the best things in life come when you least expect them.
So next time you see a stray, remember Romee. Because saving a dog doesn’t just change their life—it changes yours.
