Sometimes, a little bit of faith is all you need. When Ladybird, a senior black Lab, was found in a park bathroom in Destrehan, Louisiana, she didn’t lose hope. Her owner, in a difficult situation, left her there temporarily with a heartbreaking note. But this sweet dog didn’t just receive a rescue; she gained an incredible story.

Ladybird and her owner shared an incredible nine years together, traveling the country side by side since she was six weeks old. Every time they grew weary of the road, they returned to their home in North Carolina, where they enjoyed time with family before setting off again. However, circumstances took a turn when Ladybird’s owner became homeless in Louisiana. Living in a shelter, he tried to save money for their journey back but found himself without a car or stable roof. In a heart-wrenching decision, he left Ladybird in a bathroom overnight, hoping to return in the morning. He left her a note asking anyone who found her to treat her kindly, along with a bit of water for her comfort.

Journey Home

The following morning, the owner returned to find Ladybird missing. He quickly contacted animal control, who informed him that she was taken to St. Charles Parish Animal Shelter. Learning the full story of Ladybird and her owner, the rescue team felt compelled to assist this loyal duo who had been inseparable for years.

The rescue team managed to connect with Virginia Beach SPCA, transferring Ladybird to their care. This incredible team provided Ladybird with a soothing bath, a day of pampering at a local spa, and even treated her to a delicious pupachino for her good behavior. After Ladybird’s story gained public attention, multiple pet organizations teamed up to raise funds for her journey back home, along with providing necessary medical care and supplies. Ultimately, Ladybird returned to her loving family in North Carolina, reuniting with her grandma in the most heartwarming way.

The joy of their reunion was immeasurable. Ladybird’s owner later updated her rescuers, sharing that both he and Ladybird were doing wonderfully. “We had questions about her human in Louisiana, and we want everyone to know that he is doing well and is so happy that Ladybird is home,” the VBSPCA team remarked on Facebook. After enduring so much hardship, they were finally able to return to their normal life, all thanks to the kind individuals who are driven by a pure love for animals!
