“I honestly didn’t think she’d make it this far,” said Australian and Edgar’s Mission founder Pam Ahern. Sadly, Ahern was talking about Soda Pop, the animal rehabilitation facility’s most recent resident.

When Soda Pop arrived at the farm rescue, she couldn’t lift her head or walk, and she was emaciated. Ahern and the other volunteers didn’t think she would make it through the night. However, they could also sense that she had a fighting spirit, so they decided to give her their best efforts. What they did for this brave little animal is nothing short of amazing.
