Buddy Finds a New Home |
| |
 Buddy,
a beautiful little blue
heeler, came to be in our
care after he was found wandering
around the parking lot near the
Allyn Grocery Store. His story
starts as an apparent case of
"dumping", a theme we so very often.
Why this sweet little guy came to be
in Allyn is anyone's guess but
Buddy has spend the last month in
the care of loving foster family. He
has thrived, gaining much needed
weight, spend many hours
playing ball and being lavished with
lots of pets, brushing and car
rides. He
now has a new loving home and we are
very happy for him! |

Animal Angels to the Rescue |
|
|
 I
had just settled
down for a much
anticipated lazy
Sunday afternoon. I
turned on my
computer to check my
email and saw an
email that was an
urgent call for
help. At this point
I knew my lazy
afternoon had just
went out the window.
The email was about
a homeless pit bull
mom and her newborn
pups taking shelter
under a neighbors
storage shed. It
certainly is not the
type of email I want
to read with outdoor temperatures at
freezing. This could
be a potential death
sentence for newborn
pups. So after I
placed an urgent
call to animal
control for
assistance I left my
house armed with
blankets, carrier
and food. Not really
knowing what to
expect I expected
the worst.
