ANOTHER LIFE SAVED BY FOSTERING...BUFFY

This is Buffy (he will be renamed shortly). Buffy has spent the last several weeks at the Forrest City Animal Shelter (FCAS) in Arkansas. His owners dumped him at the shelter because he "dug up the yard". Unfortunately, like many dogs in this area, Buffy tested heartworm positive. The wonderful volunteers from the Forrest City Area Humane Society (FCAHS) have begged for someone to take this sweet boy in. Alyssa in particular has worked incredibly hard on Facebook to network for this precious boy.

Finally, Aimee offered to foster this boy. The problem was....Aimee lives in Michigan! This is one of the reasons that sparked our "Woof Connect to Wisconsin" rescue road trip. We needed to get a few of our dogs to Wisconsin and then realized the need is greater, so a Cargo van would be necessary. Aimee is going to pick him up in Wisconsin and foster him along with another girl, Tiara, from FCAS. Not only that, but Tina in Maryland agreed to pay for his heartworm treatment!!! How great is that?!!! Oh the power of networking...

Buffy needed to out of the shelter as he was scheuled to be put to sleep. Thanks to my friend and long time foster, Teresa, Buffy will have his chance for a wonderful new life! She has graciously agreed to foster this handsome boy until he leaves on July 10th for his new life up north!

PLEASE consider short-term fostering to help save these precious souls. Thank you to EVERYONE who tried relentlessly to help this boy through emails, Facebook postings, etc. You should ALL be so very proud! Please consider donating even a little bit to help cover the cost of the trip that will bring Buffy up North (Chip-in is on the previous post).

Buffy with Mike, Cindy, and Katie- volunteers with FCAHS who picked him up from the shelter for me (thank you so much!).

Buffy isn't quite sure what is going on, but he's glad to be out of the shelter!

Loving his new yard!

YEAH...toys at Teresa's!

Buffy's extraordinary foster mom, Teresa (we love you!)

He is actually smiling now :)

Had to pose with Buffy too- he is one of the lucky ones!
