Seeking placement in NYC area OR Rochester-Buffalo, NY area.
Currently, a transport exists from NC to NYC for him to jump on for this weekend (Sat, 1/29). Since we currently operate out of upstate NY, we would like to get him up here eventually. But for now (or for the long term) we need to place him in the NYC area!! Please crosspost this to anyone you think might be interested. We have several volunteers in the NYC area to assist. We could use a temporary short-term foster and arrange a transport to get him upstate within a couple of weeks.
BUSTER's story, as originally written, is below. He is currently doing better, on meds. Please note that Demodex is very manageable and treatable and NOT contagious to other animals. He could be placed with another dog as he is also very friendly. Here is our ChipIn page to help with Buster's veterinary and transport costs, so please also send this to friend's who could offer support!! http://muttsandmitts.chipin.com/buster
"It is bad enough being a stray in Bladen County, NC......farmers shoot at you when you try to wander up to the humans you love, food is scarce, other strays snap at you......it is LONELY and SCARY......especially for a throwaway 5 month old puppy like sweet BUSTER. But now imagine that the stray puppy has severe DEMODEX....so bad, in fact, that he can no longer open his eyes due to infection and he has NO HAIR. And it is FREEZING outside!!!!! Frankly, I do not even know how this sad little baby has survived the last few weeks. It is simply unimaginable that after all little Buster has been through, that he will now have to be euthanized due to lack of space at the Bladen County Shelter in Elizabethtown, NC.
PLEASE save this little boy. His short puppy life has been cruel and scary. You can change that by adopting/fostering.The vet does not believe that Buster's eyesight has been permanently damaged....he just needs treament."
