I am a lover of all animals except maybe alligators and snakes, but I can still appreciate and respect them as living creatures. I especially have a warm spot in my heart for puppies and kittens and pink bows. Our second puppy, Loretta (my other best friend), was adopted from PetSmart one Saturday afternoon when shopping for cat food. They got us! She reeled us in with her beautiful caramel eyes and Farrah Faucet like hair. She is truly one of the best dogs I could have asked for. She appreciates the love we share with her and the nurturing we provide for her. I love her so much. She has become a part of our Team Potassium family. In saying all this, I recommend for those searching for a furry friend to invite home, go the path less taken. Adopt! Some may think "But I want a certain breed." Trust me, you can find any dog you like with little effort.
Now I'll introduce The Max Fund. This is a not for profit, no kill animal shelter located here in Denver. This organization has many wonderful animals just waiting for the right family to go home with. They take in many animals on a weekly basis and rely on animal lovers to run their facility. If you would like to volunteer or donate or more importantly adopt an animal, check out their site: http://www.maxfund.org/.
And now for a new monthly blog feature:
Animal of the Month!
This first featured animal is a very special dog who was brought in by The Humane Society from Tao, New Mexico. Millie fended for her life on the streets for about eight months. The theory about Millie's past is that she was hit by a car which injured her spine and left no feeling in her back legs. So, she moved around the best she could, dragging herself around. Millie's condition upon her arrival looked very bleek. X-ray's revealed broken ribs a
nd several b b's in her body. Millie has now found a family at The Max Fund. She receives the care she needs through physical therapy and neurology and just recently attained a mobility cart (specially created for her by Eddie's Wheels) to help her get on her feet, so to say. She is not currently up for adoption, but there are many others in need of a loving home.
