| My name is Freckles and I am a very lucky dog. I was 9 years old 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. 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 petted and played with! I am soooooo lucky. I just wish all dogs and cats 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. Until we can get enough funds raised to build a proper shelter, we have a few kind foster caregivers but we need more. 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 does what she can but we need more people who are willing to provide foster care for these pets until we can find them a good home. If you can help in any way, please step forward and email or call. We can't do it all - but we have to do what we can do. If you are unable to foster a needy pet, please make a donation to help cover vet bills, food, cat litter, collars & leashes, advertising expense, printing supplies, etc. 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 every Monday. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Freckles |
