PUPDATE!!! Santa needs to leave HOMER a special treat (a HOME)!
PUPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SANTA JUST LEFT THE BOONE COUNTY, KY POUND AND GUESS WHAT HOMER GOT FOR CHRISTMAS? A FOREVER HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Homer, (Home)r Boy, looks like he has a new forever home! It’s a Christmas Eve Miracle! I am still going to need help and I will be e-mailing everyone about that, but Homer is going to be heading to a nice lady in Western New York State. A lot is still up in the air about pulling, fees, boarding, transport etc. All I have to do is get him to New York. The details are just coming across the wire and the help everyone has offered is most likely still going to be needed, but now I bet it will not be near as much since I have a place to send him. It’s not a foster home, it’s a real home! A forever home!
I still have to make contact first thing Friday morning at the shelter, but I have left messages and sent e-mails.
I am looking forward to Christmas, but Friday cannot get here quick enough.
end of pupdate – I am so excited.
Howllo Fellow Hound and Christmas miracle lovers: This just came across the bassethoundtown wires and it is news that is never welcome. A 12 year old basset hound boy was dumped by his family at the Boone County, KY Animal Shelter. Here is his pet finder link:

MEET HOMER!
Is he not as cute as piece of warm pumpkin pie?
Is that a heart on his head? I think it is!
Can you imagine dumping the family’s 12 year old dog at the pound. Talk about your Scrooge family. I don’t care if you don’t have a dime. In KY most shelters can put an owner relinquished dog down that same day.
I CANNOT FOSTER, however I can pick him up and have him boarded if anyone can help with his costs. He needs a home fast, we cannot board him forever! Anyone looking for the love of your life? Let me know!
More later……..I have just lost a bit of my Christmas Eve spark. Sigh………
This old guy needs a miracle for the hoidays.

Oh what a sweetheart!
I hope someone can help him out, poor guy must be so sad wondering what has happend.
I am sending you an email.
Hugs
Poor buddy. He looks like such a sweet guy. Thanks for letting everyone know about the local hounds who will hopefully have someone who truly cares for them.
Keep me posted, send me an email on how I can send you money to help. Unfortunately, it won’t be much but maybe if everyone does a little, we can do a lot.
Hi Dan – I will certainly keep you posted. Every little bit helps a lot! I just had a little boy ask for my address so he could send me the 5.00 he got from his Grandma for Christmas. He said that Homer looked skinny and could I buy him some treats for Christmas. OMG
I was crying so hard. I love that kid.
We also love you guys. I will keep you posted on Homer hopefully Friday. I have a list of folks who want updates and want to send a little bit his way. I will keep track of everything.
Happy Holidays to you and your wife!
Cat, Chaps and Emma
That is just so sad that this poor boy got dumped at a shelter…especially after 12 years!!! I really hope he gets his miracle and finds himself in a new loving home soon! Please let me know how we can send a little to help too.
Cat – same goes for me – I can’t send a lot, but would like to send something to help him out.
OXOXOX
