As we face an unprecedented crisis in rescue, one of our beloved dogs, Russell, is facing an uncertain future. With his foster home coming to an end, he's at risk of being sent to boarding in a few days. In boarding he will be provided basic care, but his life will consist of being in a small run 24/7 except for the occasional potty break. This is the reality for 12 now soon to be 13 of our BarkVille dogs- and it is gut wrenching to see.
Russell's story is heartbreaking, but it's not unique. Many dogs like him are losing their lives in shelters and having their souls crushed in long term boarding facilities.
We're reaching out for help - and praying someone hears us this time. Can you provide a loving foster home for Russell? He's a gentle soul, housebroken, and crate trained. If you're willing to open your heart and home, we'll be with you every step of the way. But understand fostering is work- there is a transition period- things will not be perfect…. But if you keep at it you will be rewarded with so much love!! Finding a forever home for a rescue is like nothing else- it is worth every ounce of sacrifice!!
Foster applications for Russell or any of our boarding dogs can be completed at www.barkvilledogrescue.org
Please help us. We are truly begging for help for our dogs.
Thank you.
