I cannot say enough about FOHA and what it means to myself and Scout. I have been a foster mom for about 2yrs now with FOHA. I originally looked to them as a rescue I wanted to belong to because their main rescue dog was Boston Terriers. I have always wanted one of these fabulous dogs! I took care of one in FL and always vowed I would have one..
That is what attracted me but what made my mind up is what I found out about the group. In todays' world you cannot always take anything at face value. I decided to find out more about this organization. I did searches on Google and found some very good recommendations from adopters and volunteers alike. One of the most prominent praises was how efficient this group worked together on a volunteer basis only. Please note, there are no 'paid' workers at FOHA. Everyone is a volunteer.
The slogan is, 'Rescuing Small Dogs with Big Hearts' and we do! Boston Terriers are not the only breed we rescue. Lately there have been quite a few of those little chee - chee's or chihuahua's coming through our rescue due to the overwhelming breeding of them in CA.
Scout was a rescue from FOHA. I fell in love and that was that. Now all the fosters and volunteers who know his story are following along with us on this journey. It is really heart warming to have so many involved in this little dog's life. With so much going on in the world today and so many take the time to stop and remember Scout.
Back to the fundraiser!
Dear dog lover,While supplies last, Friends of Homeless Animals will mail a Boston Terrier Tote Bag (straightstitch.net) to anyone who donates $15 or more. Also, your name will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a Boyd's crystal glass Boston Terrier's head (winner will be draw on 5/6).
Proceeds will go toward paying for Scout's vet care. Scout, a 2-year-old, 8 pound Yorkshire Terrier was bought online from a puppy mill by someone who then offered him for free on Craigslist. At the time of his rescue, he was kept in a cage and was in a terrible shape and in constant pain. Scout has a birth defect (a gap between the base of his skull and spine) resulting in motor skills problems. He has a hard time walking and playing with his mates, even though he loves it. The best we can do right now is keep Scout on pain and anti-inflammatory medicine. To become a normal little dog, Scout needs expensive surgery. To see pictures and videos of Scout, lease follow his blog at http://friendsofscout.blogspot.com.
