We already received a wonderful first update:
Taz Earle is the sweetest most wonderful boy ever born!!!! Was an angel on the drive. Seems to love the backyard. Has marked every corner of it! We've played some good fetch & as you can see he's taken to the bed. I put Fin's blanket on the bed so he'd feel at home. He's an absolute love muffin in a Sherman tank body.
She is currently in a compassion care foster home with 2 torn cruciate ligaments, blood infections and a heart issue.
Luna came from a backyard breeder to LAPS with a few of her house mates. LAPS staff loved her so much and were so worried about her health, they called BB - We took one look at her adorable face, unadoptability and terrible story and found a foster home for her.
She has since lived with an amazing short term foster while she weathered the end of her heat with 2 very rambunctious parrots, a foster mom and dad and 2 teenage boys - who spoiled her rotten and loved her right up! Thank you Lainie, Mike, Kieran and Brendan! You taught her love, and helped her through her fear of ..... well ....everything!
She is currently living with Jenn and Al, a long term foster family of Bully Buddies. In her new home she has a bully and a mastiff for her buddies, 2 evil cats, Jammy the super rat and her new bff - a 5 year old human girl!
Since Bully Buddies has taken her in, she has blossomed! Her health has gone from a short term outlook to open possibilities. Her pain is well managed with Meloxicam, her heart will be checked soon by a specialist, and we are watching her blood lymphocite levels. Our hope is that surgery for her legs and a spay will be a possibility.
To meet this lovely lady you would never know that just 3 short months ago she couldn't walk and was afraid of her own shadow - Now she climbs up mountains, licks you to death, actually plays with her dog brothers now and is a true breed ambassador!
Keep an eye out for this beauties ongoing story and her fundraisers to come.... she is fighting so hard for herself, it's only right we do for her too!
Please consider making a donation towards her vet bills!
He was recently found as a stray. His collar had been deliberately opened so it was no surprise when nobody came forward to claim him.
He might be a big hunk, but he is a very sensitive soul who finds shelter life very overwhelming. He would much rather wait for a forever home while in a loving foster home.
He was most likely a backyard dog, he has no leash manners and needs training. He is incredibly sweet and gentle with people though and he is non-reactive to other dogs.
Please email us at bullybuddies@gmail.com if you're interested in fostering this handsome guy!
Did you know that Bully Buddies’ New Year’s Resolution was to find more foster homes?
Unfortunately there are often more dogs needing help, than there are foster homes available. Without loving, dedicated foster homes, dogs often don’t get a second chance.
Please consider opening your home and heart to a dog in need!
Update March 10, 2012 - Foster to adopt found!!!
We just received this wonderful update:
"Every day they get closer! Here is a pic of them tonight.
First night Angel loved licking Cleo's ears - She tolerated it without much objection. Angel is learning she can't play with a cat like a dog and is very respectful of Cleo.
Angel is adapting very well - she sure is a snuggle bug!"
Aren't Angel and Cloe just adorable!?!
