We have had so many donations from friends, family, and even compassionate strangers. With the support of the San Diego Animal Support Foundation, we were able to cover the rest of the costs to bring Miranda home. She will be arriving in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 18, at which point I will be picking her up and bringing her come to the San Diego with me. I am overjoyed that I will finally meet her. Thanks again for your help! Check back later for updates and more pictures.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3982013120215462042-2065424322983513094?l=bringmirandahome.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vanessa M.
