We found Barkley like this in a shelter on April 27th... One of the TLC volunteers had spotted this Pitty mix and was determined that he was not going to die on her watch... Kathryn not only went to the shelter to pull him out, she came in every three days for his bathing with special medicated shampoos... Kathryn took him to the vets for all of this appointments and she also came to the rescue shop and went through the training we had done with a trainer...
Barkley was with us for three and a half months... His demodex was a bugger to get rid of!... Because we are set up for small dogs, rescuing Barkley tested our abilities to function 'out of the box' as a rescue shop as well! But because something seems impossible when it arrives on your doorstep is not a reason to say it can't be done!...
Yep, anything is possible if only you believe! Yes, Charlie Brown, there is a Santa!
As Always,
Linda
P.S. If you believe you are too busy, too tired, too old or anything just too-something to be a part of the change in Ventura County for No-Kill, Kathryn just turned 69 years old, she has an active social life with the Red Hat Society and her children, grandchildren, donating time and energy to TLC... She is also our Special Events Coordinator and has put together several fundraising events this past year that helped to keep our doors opened and the electricity on.
