Cassie is well enough for adoption!!! YEAH!!!
For anyone who read my first post about Cassie, the little pup tha was dumped in a pile of garbage and had parvo...here's the update!! Thanks to any PTers who sent donations!!
*CASSIE NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!*
When Cassie, the innocent parvo puppy who was found in a trash pile in May, came to Pet Refuge, we didn't think the little girl would ever live long enough to be ready for a "forever" home. She was so sick and malnourished that she was literally on death's door. As you can see above, however, that sickly creature is now a healthy, happy, NORMAL puppy! And she has so many people to thank!!! Her sad story was published in the South Bend Tribune on July 7th and the entire community came to her rescue in an unbelievable outpouring of love and compassion!
Medical bills for Cassie's stay in the hospital were enormous for a non-profit organization such as Pet Refuge. So we asked for the public's help and boy, did we receive it! Cards and checks for "Cassie's Fund" poured in (even from other states) and this now-permanent fund will stay in place for future Pet Refuge dogs and cats who need special help -- such as Cassie did. Pet Refuge wants to thank everyone who cared enough to read Cassie's story and support her.
Cassie will attend her first adoption event on Sunday, July 28th, from Noon-4pm at our shelter. We will be taking applications for her at this time and interested parties can meet our little miracle dog. She is approximately six months old and, if you know her story, has had a very rough, heartbreaking start in life. We are looking for someone who will LOVE her unconditionally and give her a wonderful, caring home to help erase the horrific memories from her past. Cassie needs a fenced-in yard where she can run and, of course, she must be an inside dog . . . preferably with someone at home most of the time. While she is paper-trained, she isn't completely housebroken yet because she was too weak and sick to go outside for the first few months she was with us. So a PATIENT and understanding owner -- who has lots of time to spend with her -- is what we are searching for! Cassie is a very sensitive dog, too and, because of her near-death experience, we think her feelings get hurt easily. If you are interested in adopting Cassie, please email her foster mom, Sandra, at [email protected].
Please help Pet Refuge find the perfect home for this adorable pup who has had such a tough life! She deserves the very best!
