Kona, the girl from northern Idaho, is still with Melissa and doing much better. She is settling down and, after years as a puppy mill dog, realizes how much nicer it is to be indoors. We have a home in mind for her, but we’re taking our time. Melissa says she is no trouble at all considering she is only three years old.
Last report, we were about to look at a 3 year old male in the Spokane area. Darlene went to look at him and picked him up that day. He came from Florida, and when his owner died, he ended up with the former grandson-in-law, who was transferred to Fairchild AFB. We finally traced him back to a Florida breeder, and we will place him here. He’s a nice boy and when we find out how he does with cats, he should have a good home.
Bella is the eleven year old here with us. She is a delight to have here, mellow, sweet, and undemanding. She had a vet visit recently and they found what looks like a goiter. Test results are pending, but she will live out her life here.
On the horizon is an eight year old girl in the Eugene area. She seems to be a bad fit in the house she lives in, and the owner called us when she wet his expensive carpet. We convinced him to take her to the vet to check for a UTI, but he still wants us to take her. We think that should happen soon.
Progress continues on our plan to turn over rescue to new board members. This past month we set up rescue emails for everybody, and now anything that comes to the primary rescue address goes to everybody. In another month or two, perhaps we’ll have elections and decide who will be leading the group into the future.
