From Neglect to Neighborhood Celebrity: Meet Strawberry Shortcake
As soon as I met Missy Mosby, I could tell how much she loved animals and I am talking ALL animals. Yes, she loves cats and dogs but she has a special place in her heart for Strawberry Shortcake and no, I’m not talking about the girl who’s a cartoon. I am talking about a tortoise.
A Tough Start
Back in January, Evansville Animal Care and Control took in a heartbreaking abuse and neglect case. Along with several dogs and two cockatiels, there were also three tortoises which were severely dehydrated, malnourished, and in rough shape.
That’s where Missy Mosby stepped in.
She brought the tortoises into her office, giving them sweet names that hinted at better days ahead: Strawberry Shortcake, Ginger Snap, and Apple Blossom.
One Little Fighter
It was Strawberry Shortcake needed the most help…
