PET OF THE WEEK

BLUE BONNET
 
 

Hi, my name is Blue Bonnet and I’m a baby Pit Bull Terrier. I’m at the animal shelter along with five brothers and sisters.

Me and my brothers and sisters were found out in the woods, we were only about five weeks old, way too young to be out on our own. We missed our Mom real bad and didn’t know what happened to her, all we knew is that we were very cold, alone and hungry. Finally some kind people came along, found us and took us to the shelter where we finally got something to eat; our one little brother, Squirt, was so tiny and dehydrated he had to get IV fluids for a day or so but bounced right back with the rest of us. I heard them all talking about how stained dirty we were and how skinny and wormy we looked, we felt bad and we were afraid at first.

We soon found out this place was way better than being in the woods, except for maybe all the baths we keep getting. And guess what! We found our Mom and our Dad! They are both at the shelter too, they came in about 4 days before we did, but they were found over ten miles from where we were. I don’t know how our family got so far away from each other but I’m glad we are together again and I’m glad we are at the shelter and glad for all the caring people that saved us little ones and our Mom and Dad.

I can tell you we are very healthy now, we have been de-wormed twice, our coats are getting very shiny and most of the stained coat has faded away, we have had our first shots and ready to find a new home. When we get to run around outside everyone laughs at us, we have lots of fun and are very happy; they say we look like little piglets, our fat little bodies and our very short coat.

If you are looking for a great dog for your family, how about one of us! Even my Mom and Dad are looking for homes right now and they are great dogs. We will be waiting for you at the Elk Country Animal Shelter, 989-785-3738.

Kuranda beds are sturdy and long lasting, so you will be providing a lasting gift for a dog today and another tomorrow.

They can make a big difference for even one dog who, for the most part spends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a concrete floor.

Donations are offered at a special discounted price and shipped directly to the Elk Country Animal Shelter.

Donate a bed in your name, or send one as a gift in the name of a friend or family member.  We will mail a personalized Gift Card acknowlegement directly to them from you.
