Sora

Sora (pronounced “Sola” which means Sky in Japanese) became part of our family on Saturday 19th 2009.

Previously named “Upward”, Sora was driven 3,000 miles from S.Carolina to us and arrived this morning. He was saved by a wonderful rescue shelter called Noah’s Ark after he was left to die from a horrific attack. Sora is blind. He lost his sight after someone put a shotgun full of bird shot to his face and pulled the trigger.

You can read a bit more about his story here (there are many other dogs / animals who continue to need assistanc)

Soar’s first day has gone v well so far. He’s already offleash in the house and able to make his way around (albiet v slowly). It’s inspiring and humbling at the same time. Rio and him are getting on well so far – v fun to see Sora to play with him. He is suc a sweet dog.

Today, Sora began his new life with us – this time the only emotion we want him to experience is love. Thank you Jennifer and Joanne.

I’l be updating regularly on how Sora’s doing at http://www.lawrenceripsher.com/thelifeofsora

    What a great thing you are doing by adopting Sora! The cruelty inflicted on some animals is horrific. I rescued an abused cat two years ago – he was in really terrible shape. Today he is a happy, healthy, wonderful pet – gets along famously with everyone and is a joy to be with.
