Foster Friday: Ranger

It's Foster Friday again!  This week, we have Ranger with us who's really hoping we can help him find his forever family.  Take a look!

Ranger here! I didn't want anyone to forget about me and since I am growing up really fast, I thought the world would like to see my lovely face.  I love to run and play in the yard and I really love it when my foster mom throws the tennis ball for me to run and fetch for her! I can do that for quite some time!  Some other things I love to do is to play with all the toys and chew on all the bones that my foster home keeps around for us to play with - it's like a doggie daycare!

I am getting along well with the other dogs in the house, I just need to learn that the little dogs really don't like it when I use my paws to play with them.  The cat tolerates me and I just like to sniff at him every once in a while - he doesn't like to play with me so I have learned to leave him alone.

I really LOVE people if all sizes! I like to be very close to them, especially my foster mom.  I will lay at her feet no matter where she is in the house and love it when she pets me and rubs my belly!

I am only about 6 1/2 months, but have been housetrained and crate trained and I sleep all night in my crate without whining and crying.  I'm working really hard to learn good manners.  I am a good boy and I really am ready for my forever family!  Do you have a place for me?

Weekend Wrap-up

Happy Monday everyone!  We very rarely have a quiet weekend here at SCBR, but after all of the excitement on Friday we didn't have a whole lot going on.  Friday, however, was a great day for one of our foster favorites.  Miss Lucy met some new friends who wanted to help!

Lucy and her temporary foster dad, Bill, took a little trip out to Central Florida where some Summer Camp kids put together a walk-a-thon.  Laps for Lucy was a huge success and the kids were able to raise more than $200 to help pay for Lucy's eye surgery.  Lucy has what's called eyelid entropion, which makes her eyelid roll in and irritate her eyes.  Entropion can be very painful if not treated, so we're doing everything we can to get Lucy's surgery scheduled quickly.  You can read more about the condition here.

We are extremely fortunate to have met such wonderful kids who care so much and got so excited to help out!  Someone once said that it will be our kids who end the cycle of pet neglect and abuse, and it's very encouraging to see such young volunteers!

We are still raising money to cover the balance of Lucy's surgery so please donate and share her fundraiser with your family and friends.  Also, Lucy will need a more permanent foster home so we can start her heartworm treatment and get her ready to find a forever family.  If you're interested in fostering or adopting please fill out an application.  

SCBR is grateful for all of our supporters, but especially for the young ones!
