UPDATE – UPDATE – UPDATE!

Sr. Bonded Boys get new lease on life! Marilyn at the HOP has opened her heart and her doors to the boys. I will be picking them up first thing in the morning. I will be waiting in the parking lot prior to anyone getting to work. I will transport the boys to my vet for boarding and very good care. They will not be there long because we will all work on a transport to get the boys to their new wonderful home. So, stay posted and see if you can pick up a leg for us. These guys need to start their new life and Marilyn needs her holiday hounds!

I am just so thrilled beyond belief.

I wonder what she will name them?

Hellow Fellow Hound and Sr. Bonded Boy Basset Hound Lovers:

Today I received a phone call from the Campbell County Animal Shelter about two bonded, senior, basset boys, they are the first two on the list (overweight and not neutered), that were picked up from an abuse situation. I am still trying to find out what that is all about, but the volunteer at the shelter said they were good friendly boys. One is 10 and the other is 12. The shelter director wants to euthanize them tomorrow unless we can find them a place.

I cannot take them in. Both Chaps and Emma were sick after my last foster and Chaps attacks male dogs. Plus, I am out of town right now.

I can have them moved to my vet’s kennel, but I just cannot afford it. I have contacted Bluegrass and Ohio. Eva is full and cannot take any more dogs. Susan of Bluegrass is networking this as well.

My vet would charge 70.00 the first day for both. That would include isolation fees, food and fecal examinations. The charge every day there after would be 47.00 for both. However, if they have fleas or need anything else the cost goes up! I have no money. So any suggestions?

Well, I better get on the horn and see what else I can come up with. Please pass this to any rescues you think can help.

The Shelters phone number is 1-859-635-2819. Another contact is Kathy at 1-859-341-0359

    Marilyn is a Saint and Cat is an Angel. The world is lucky to have two women like these.

    Bless Cat, Marilyn and Elvis’ Mom (Chris)! I saw these boys earlier today and was so upset at the thought of the shelter director wanting to euthanize them TOMORROW! They’ll have a wonderful life at HOP with Marilyn and company. Yay!
