Rescued Morkie Sissy Mae
Rescued morkie Sissy Mae was just eight months old, when she had already been cast aside. Born with a severe underbite and one ear that wouldn’t stand up, she was deemed "useless" by a breeder. Neglected and frail, she arrived at a shelter nearly lifeless. But her story didn’t end there. Sheryl M. Donnell and her family saw past her imperfections and gave her a second chance. And little did they know—Sissy wasn’t just being rescued. She would soon become the one who rescues as a support dog.
From Rescue to Recovery
Healing took time. Sissy was scared, hesitant, and unsure of her new world. Thankfully, another rescue dog who had experienced a similar journey helped her learn to trust again. She gained weight, found comfort in her new family, and blossomed into a healthy 7-pound bundle of fluff.
Rescued Morkie Sissy is Tiny Dog with a Big Purpose
Sheryl and her family thought they had saved Sissy, but Sissy had other plans. When Sheryl developed unstable blood pressure, everything changed. One night, she collapsed unexpectedly. Sissy sprang into action—barking, clawing, refusing to let her fall into unconsciousness. It wasn’t a one-time occurrence. Each time Sheryl’s blood pressure dropped, Sissy alerted her, refusing to be ignored. Even when Sheryl yelled at her to stop, Sissy persisted until her owner realized she needed medical help.
Now, Sissy is an official support dog and even accompanies Sheryl on flights. Proof that sometimes, the ones we save save us in return.
