Dragonfly was one of eight puppies born in the care of Providence Animal Center after her mom was rescued as a pregnant dog by Animal Aid USA from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia. Dragonfly's mother was nearly euthanized.

In the fall, Dragonfly and her siblings were adopted out to loving homes, as was their mom. Dragonfly now lives in the New York City with her mom model Justine LeGault.

Providence Animal Center will host a Puppy and Kitten Bowl adoption event the big weekend of Feb. 3.

Providence Animal Center, formerly the Delco SPCA, is located at 555 Sandy Bank Road, in Media.

Good luck, Dragonfly!
