In 2014, Kristin adopted Fenway with her then-boyfriend. As she struggled to escape an abusive relationship, Fenway provided unwavering support and companionship. Kristin credits Fenway as the driving force that helped her break free from her toxic relationship and find a safe place to live. Despite the constant ups and downs they faced together, Fenway remained a source of love and comfort for Kristin.

Their bond grew even stronger in 2017 when Fenway was diagnosed with a severe illness called Blastomycosis. Fearing that he might not survive, Kristin made it her mission to ensure that her beloved pup had the best Christmas ever. As Fenway fought hard to overcome his illness, Kristin began a new Christmas tradition of showering him with love and presents.

As Fenway’s eyes widened with surprise and joy upon seeing Santa, it was clear that this special moment was a dream come true for the festive pup. The happiness and excitement shared between Fenway and Santa made the holiday season even more magical for Kristin.
