Meet Boyd

Hello Friends.

Monday my MOM and I went to St. Anne's Homeless Center do drop off some donations and to help out a little bit.  When we got there we heard a dog barking and whining.  MOM asked what was up.  Well it seems that this dog had been hanging out at the shelter for more than a day, but no one could catch him.  



Then when Grace (remember her?) walked into the shelter this dog followed her in.  The lovely Nona held him and saw he had a tag on his collar so she called the "owner" SIX times.  Then she put him in the donation room to keep him safe and warm.


Of course my MOM could not resist going in there to pet him and talk to him.  He was real sweet.  But you could tell that he was NOT well cared for, he was way skinny and he had a cut on his back paw and he was scared.  The "owner" never called, so St. Anne's had to call the animal shelter.  My MOM waited with Boyd (that's what my MOM named him).


My MOM sat with him in the donation room until the animal shelter people came.  Doesn't his little whine make you tear up?  He just got in my MOM's lap and liked being petted and talked too.  We plan on going to the animal shelter on Tuesday to check on him and to bring him one or two of my toys and some treats.

Now for an update on the card count:

Goose- 56
MOM-   8 
Both-     4

Cheeto is hang up there isn't he?

That is one crazy monkey.

"Come on Cheeto let me help you down, you might hurt yourself."

Oh yea that's much better... not.  

Don't forget to join The "This Moment See Beautiful" blog hop on Friday.  For everyone who joins in the hop SUGAR will donate $1 (up to $100) to the Pet Area that will be build at St. Anne's Homeless Center.  

Blessings,
Goose

  1. Oh that poor little sweet baby! He is beautiful. I hope that maybe, just maybe the owners were out looking for him and hence the reason for not answering their phone. But if he is way too skinny and hurt, then maybe it's best he finds a different home. We will pray that all works out in the end. I know that you and your Mom will keep an eye out for him.

    We submitted a picture for See Beautiful today.

    Hugs,

  7. Holy moly that's a lot of cards! I tell you my heart just ached for that Boyd. He sure did take to your Momma. I'm sure he sensed her love and kindness. He sure was skinny, poor thing. I hope he is okay.

  8. Aw, man...poor Boyd! :-( But, if his human parents aren't doing a good job, then it's probably better if he finds a new home!! Your Mom is seriously a puppy guru though!! ;-) Whoa, dude that's a ton of cards!!

  10. Just a quik note from the mom for now - the ears on Boyd are definitely NOT Beagle but the rest of that sweet face and especially the nose looks a lot like Beagle. If you (Goose's mom) do get to visit him, do you think you could get a side view - maybe some info such as estimate of size - does he have any white on his tail? My curiosity is aimed at maybe getting him to a Beagle rescue - yes, his whine is heartbreaking - I wish I could bring him here but I know there are great Beagle rescues in the northwest - if no owner is found or otherwise not adopted. And I agree - Boyd may NEED a new home comsidering the shape he is in. The Beaglebratz will be around in the morning.\

  11. We ask the Universe to give Boyd a loving caring home for the holidays. He seems so sweet and his condition indicates that maybe he has been abandoned...no pup should be without someone to love him (or her). Thanks for following up on him.

  12. We are going to ask Santy Paws to get Boyd a wonderful owner and home. Poor boy.

    So happy to see my card arrived to you Goose!

  19. Poor Boyd ...even though he maybe has some parents....it doesn't look like they care for him....so we hope he gets a nice new home

  20. Is Boyd going to be okay? This is a kind animal shelter, right? I am teared up. I have trouble understanding how any puppy is not smothered in the arms of love and kindness. Boyd deserves this love every second. He is in my prayers.

  29. I'm sorry for Boyd... hope all will come out all right... I think Cheeto is a good card counter...hope Cheeto isn't a "Cheeter"

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh my goodness, Boyd is absolutely precious! It might be a blessing that Boyd's owners didn't respond to the 6 phone calls, right? Poor thing! He needs a caring owner and perhaps your blog post reaches someone who wants a dog for Christmas!
    Thank you for your kind words about Daisy and for your small donation for her hip surgery!

  31. Oh, poor Boyd. If he is skinny, then his so-called caretakers are not doing their job. Unless he somehow got separated from them. But, if that was true, they would have returned calls by now. Maybe they left Boyd at the shelter on purpose. I'm sure he was relieved to meet you and we know you will help him find his way to a loving home. He sure seems like a sweet fellow.

    Goose, love your Cheeto hat.

  32. I hope Santa Paws brings a new forever family for Boyd this year.

  33. Oh no! Poor Boyd! He looks like a really great guy! He captured our mom's heart right away. We sure hope something wonderful happens for him.
    Cheeto seems better at scaling the wall-o-cards than Sneaky Snake.

  37. Oh my goodness poor little Boyd. You will need another wall soon for all those cards!

  38. We are pleased to hear that Boyd is off the streets for the holidays. He is a very handsome dude. Santa should fill his owners stocking full of coal and find Boyd a new and loving home.

  41. Aww sounds like a very sweet boy

  42. It is so hard to meet a sweet dog like Boyd who hasn't been cherished and loved for the wonderful dog that he is. I hope that he gets adopted by a wonderful family. We will be thinking of him.

    Goose, you are really running up the score :)

  43. Boyd looked like a nice guy. We hope he finds a forever home. Maybe he can go home with you Goose?
