| My name is Freckles and I was 9 years old in 2005 when I was adopted by Durward and Kim Elise Brantley. My former family didn't want me anymore and my time was running out with the group that was fostering me and trying to find me a new home. I was very sad and confused. I still don't understand why they didn't want me anymore. I'm a really good dog. Then the Brantley's found me and boy did my life change for the better. I had a lot of emotional problems and it took me quite a while to get used to being queen of the house. I couldn't get over them letting me bark! I even get treats and baths and get petted all the time. I wish all dogs could be as lucky as me. I convinced the Brantley's to get involved in helping pets in our area and that's how Freckles' Friends began. Right now, there is no place for animals to go in this area where they will be loved and cared for without knowing that they only have a few days to find a family or be killed. We had a foster program for a while but it was taking too much away from our spay/neuter programs and the board decided it was best to focus on getting more dogs and cats fixed so that this community can one day be a no-kill community. Kim gets calls every week about pets that have been dropped off & abandoned. I feel so sorry for them. Most of the time, the caller cannot care for another pet. Kim helps as much as she can by posting free listings on this web site and sending out emails for lost or found pets. We can't do it all - but we have to do what we can do. We really need your help. Be sure to check out my blog for weekly updates on calls that come in to our call-in line. Kim recaps the calls for me every Monday. You can find Freckles' Friends on Facebook and MySpace too! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Freckles |
