Moroccan Rescue Dog Ivar Finds Forever Home and Reunites with Best Friend

Kern County, California – After a three-year journey spanning continents, Ivar, a special needs dog originally from Morocco, has found his forever home in Kern County, California, and been reunited with his best friend, Bo. The heartwarming adoption was facilitated by Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue, an organization dedicated to finding homes for dogs of all breeds and creeds.Ivar's story began in Morocco, where he was discovered paralyzed. A compassionate rescue group brought him to the attention of Marley's Mutts, who sponsored his journey to the United States. "He came in with four other handicapped dogs," stated Danielle Taylor, Enrichment Coordinator at Marley's Mutts. "When he first came in, he was pretty solemn. He just didn't seem very enthusiastic about being with all of these dogs."However, over time, Ivar's true spirit emerged. He formed a strong bond with another rescue dog, Bo, who had also arrived from Morocco. Bo was adopted by a family two years prior, and they always expressed a desire to bring Ivar home when they had the space. That day finally arrived, marking a joyous reunion for the two canine companions.Joni Walker, a volunteer, described Ivar as "the smiley dog here at the ranch. He always is in a great mood. He has an incredible sense of humor. He's just a great dog, a lover of life." The adoptive parent, Cande, shared her emotional connection, explaining, "Bo just spoke to me, and I just saw his face, I just started thinking about him. The more I thought about him, the more I'm like, 'You know, I think that he's our next addition.'"The rescue team expressed mixed emotions, acknowledging the difficulty of saying goodbye but the overwhelming joy of seeing Ivar thrive. "It's difficult to let them go, but we're so happy," Taylor remarked. "We're really looking forward to seeing him thrive like he's always meant to thrive." Ivar's story serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of animals and the profound impact of dedicated rescue efforts and loving adoptive families.
