Three days ago we introduced you to our latest rescue, Cecil, who was seized by the Monroe County Police 👮‍♀️ and was emaciated with large gaping wounds and even branded with the letter C on his hindquarters. 🤨We mentioned how his security blanket is his food bowels which he carries everywhere, so we thought we would share a picture. Our sweet little Cecil carries his bowls out to go potty, into the playroom, to lay on the sofa, and to the outside play yard, ….After Cecil eats and drinks his water, he stacks his bowls back all by himself so he can carry them around again, 🥰 such a gentleman.

Just a quick note from the adopter of our sweet Nora we like to share; 💕

“Nora is in the best forever home she could ever have landed in! What a sweetheart girl she is! She’s smart, has a ton of personality, and is such a joy to be with!

She’s learning to be a good traveler as we do a few road trips here and there. So far, so good in the pet friendly hotel rooms. She’s a quick study and learns rapidly. She’s also very sensitive and doesn’t like being scolded…and is so quick to steal my heart back as she sidles up to me, wanting to lick my hand and make up after she’s done something I have to fuss at her about. Those times are few and far between, but every dog will have those occasional situations, and she sure doesn’t like it when I scold her! I love her sensitivity and desire to please.

And she’s a super affectionate dog. She’s learned to “give me a kiss” and I love watching her do that on command. Just wanted to let you know she’s doing super! Blue skies, Lyle Prouse 🥰

Congratulations to our beautiful, precious Angel 😇 who has been adopted locally! This little girl has been waiting since our big snow, many months ago. 🤗 She was waiting for the perfect family to find her and they did, and she even has wonderful children in her new family to love on her. 💕 We would like to thank everyone who has had a part of her rescue and care. Thank you Pup Tent Boarding and Grooming which was her first home when we rescued her, then her foster mommy Samantha McGuire and Molly Moo Cow for taken her in their house and taking care of her when her leg and knee needed extra care. Thank you Village Veterinary Clinic for taking care of her and all the BCAWS volunteers who walked her and watched after her during her journey. 🥰 See it does take a village.

Sweet young Cecil was a boar hunting dog that was seized in Monroe County by the police. 👮‍♀️ The young pup was emaciated 😢 and had large gaping wounds presumably from tussles with boars. The young pup is even branded on his backside. 😳 BCAWS pulled him from the Monroe County shelter in the hopes of healing him and finding him a good home. 🏡 Cecil is a very friendly and social boy who likes to carry his food bowl 🥣 around in case someone might decide to feed him. It is his prized possession. Cecil, a Redbone Coonhound, is approximately 2-3 years old and a little under 60 pounds. If you would like to meet this sweet goofball, please contact Kristin at (865) 599-4262. He deserves a Happy Home, just look at that sweet face. 🥰
