We have an update to report on one of the Last Chance dogs rescued from BARC earlier this month.
An e-mail campaign and KHOU.com story featured dozens of dogs that were about to be put down because their time at BARC had run out. Goodhearted Houstonians came to the rescue of all 44 dogs by adopting them or agreeing to foster them until a "forever home" could be found. The Fortune family fostered a mixed breed dog named Quincy. "Quincy is a wonderful loving dog," said Tammie Fortune. "He is very well mannered, calm, and great with my kids. I can't believe that this dog was at the shelter for such a long time."
Fortune sent a couple of photos of Quincy including one with her 15-year-old daughter, Kayla. Thanks again to the Fortunes and everyone else who stepped up to the plate to save these dogs. And please remember that Houston shelters are still full of animals that desperately need homes. 3 CommentsLeave a comment |
Thank you Tammie and family for giving Quincy another chance! There are many great dogs at BARC at any time - please spread the word to everyone you know! Foster and volunteer opportunities are also available - check out our website: www.friendsofbarc.org
Again, thank you for taking Quincy home!
My family and I have since taken in another dog (which found a home) and two puppies (on of which has found a home). All of these great pups came from BARC. They are amazing animals with so much love to give. I just hope that people don't for that BARC has many wonderful dogs, puppies, and cats that need homes. My family and I will continue to help as much as we can by bringing them in to our home and showing them what life is like outside the kennel doors until that forever family can be found.
Thanks,
The Fortune Family
I think that is great that you would open up home to these dogs. We can only hope that more people like you do the same to save animals from being put to sleep for no reason at all.
