In a Facebook post, workers at the facility were lamenting the fact that they were set to carry out a euthanasia list at 1:00 p.m. on Friday when the Dad walked through the doors and said "well that's not gonna happen." Isidora had been with the center since July 5th and has been brought back to the shelter twice. The euthenasia list keeps the empty kennels for pets that need.

The Dad told the workers he needed a dog that is good with the kids and dogs. Isadora knows basic commands, loves other dogs, and is great with kids.

And now, she is marked safe as she enjoys her time with her new family!
