With the exception of Maia and Guida, to our knowledge, only Pocha and Guillermina knew each other before sanctuary. That means that forming a de facto herd can be complicated and sometimes challenging. Each individual has her own personality and their own physical and emotional issues to face, and making friends can be part of that healing process. 

As Scott says in this video, friendship “is just an opportunity to be there when somebody needs you most.” We think that is a perfect way to describe how bonds form and grow in a sanctuary setting – or even in day-to-day life. Happy International Friendship Day to you and thank you for your ongoing support as the girls heal and find true kinship in one another. Cheers to friends both now and in the days to come.

P.S.: This week’s podcast takes a break from Bambi’s story as we talk about what it means to honor each individual’s healing journey. It touches on Guillermina’s past and how she’s navigating her new life.
