Weekend Wrap Up: New Additions

Happy Monday everyone!  We hope you all had an awesome Fourth of July weekend.  Here at SCBR, we were super busy.  All of our fosters and recently adopted dogs did really well with the fireworks and excitement, but there's no such thing as a quiet weekend in rescue.  We have three new additions to the SCBR family.

Meet Gabby!  Gabby came to us from a shelter in the panhandle this weekend.  When animal control received a call about an injured dog, I don't think anyone could have imagined what this poor girl had been through.  Gabby had a dinner plate sized hole in her side where she had been shot.  The animal control officer didn't even notice it at first because she was so happy to see him.  Gabby went to see a vet who was able to clean up her wound and mostly close it to allow it to heal.  Everyone who's met her says Gabby is the sweetest girl!  She won't be available for adoption until her wound is fully healed, but we have started a fundraiser to help cover her vet costs.  If you're able, please donate and share Gabby's fundraiser.

Ranger was one of two owner surrenders we took in over the long weekend when his owners decided they couldn't keep him.  His foster mom has let us know that Ranger is a good boy who even does well in the bath and is now 5 months old (as of July 6 we're told).  We are working on raising money to cover the cost of vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, neutering, etc. but once Ranger is fully vetted, he will be available for adoption.  If you're interested in adopting Ranger, you can fill out an application here and please donate toward his vet expenses.

Last, but certainly not least, is Tessa.  Tessa came to us on the Fourth of July when her original owner moved out of state and left this little girl with a family member.  The family member was not able to keep her because the landlord would not allow pets, so this little girl met her new foster family before the barbecue and fireworks started!  Tessa's foster dad says she's an absolute joy and does well with both of his dogs and both of the cats.  She knows basic commands, is housebroken and crate trained.  Even though this little girl needs some work walking nicely on the leash, she's smart and has an infectious personality.  It's very hard not to love Tessa!  If you think Tessa is the new addition you've been looking for, fill out an application to adopt.

In addition to our new additions, we are still looking for new foster homes.  Right now, we need a place for Ino, Roo and Lucy.  Fosters are vital to any rescue's success and it's one of the most rewarding things anyone could ever do.  If you would like to foster, fill out an application and if you would like more information about fostering you can email us at secondchanceboxers.florida@gmail.com.  SCBR has the best supporters and we'd like to thank each and every one of you!
