San Diego Area BT Needs Ride - HAPPY UPDATE


5/31 UPDATE: Thanks to a most awesome bully community, we have Plans A, B & most of C in place to bring this sweet guy up north. I am deeply touched by the ongoing support...thank you, everyone, for helping us help these very deserving eggheads. ~Suz

6/15: Busafelo is doing wonderfully in his foster home! This sweet boy enjoys co-owning a few sofas and beds with a bevy of bull terrier and pit bull girls.

...................................................................................

A lovable and larger than life Bull Terrier in La Mesa is losing his home due to foreclosure. Can anyone help with getting him to Northern/Central California? If we can get him as far as Fresno, Bakersfield or Santa Maria/San Luis Obispo he'll have rides the rest of the way. We have about 30 days to work with this hopeful hitchhiker.

Busafelo (named after Alexander the Great's horse, Bucephalus) is intact but has lived peacefully with an intact Pit Bull male and 3 Brussels Griffons. He's 4 years old, black and white, and is reportedly a big teddy bear who's also great with children and adults but not with kitties.

Please contact me at suz@bullyhaven.org or 415/672-7391 if you can help with any legs of his trip.

His potential homes up here and I thank you!!!

Sweet Dreams, Miss Pearl

It is with much sadness that I announce the passing of Miss Pearl on May 22, 2009 at the age of 12. This beautiful and active girl entered our program in 2007 when her loving family lost their home and had to move to an apartment. Although any dog could fit into Hank's home, he chose Pearl as he knew she'd overlooked due to her age. Hank saw to it that Pearl was pampered and added Mortie (formerly Blue) to his family in 2008. Pearl and Mortie adored each other right away and remained inseparable until her last day. Mortie was the son that nurturing Pearl doted on, and Pearl was the anchor that Mortie needed at that time. When Pearl's health started deteriorating earlier this month due to an inoperable nasal tumor, Mortie was always by her side and ensured that she was comfortable. If Pearl moved and wasn't covered by her blanket, Mortie would grumble to let Hank know. The normally playful Mortie became a couch potato to stay by Pearl's side for an entire month. The bond that forms is truly amazing.

Thank you, Hank, for giving this lovely old girl a wonderful home. We are all sharing your and Mortie's grief. Night night, dear Pearl.
