Where's my home Wednesday: Meet Honey!

My name is Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, but you can call me Honey – a simply delightful middle-aged lady from Eastern NC. Despite my hard knock past, I’m a consummate basset optimist! I was homeless and raiding trash cans for food, but now I’m found – CBHR saved me! I need to bend your ear for a second though and discuss my ear… unfortunately the doctors are going to have to work on it a little bit, but don’t you fret none – I promise when I’m all fixed up I will listen to you just as good as I would have with a perfect ear – basset’s honor! We bassets take our “listening” seriously! And if you buy that… I’ve got a lovely ocean front cottage in Arizona where we can summer together! Once my stint in rehab is done, I’m going to be looking to make up for lost time – I’m talking belly rubs, treats… the whole nine yards. I’ve got plans – BIG plans! Don’t you want to be part of this happily ever after? Ask for me – Honey! Honey is available for adoption through Carolina Bassett Hound Rescue. Get in touch with them to make Honey a part of your family!

Where's my Home Wednesday

You may or may not be aware that we work with many local and regional rescue groups to help medically prepare rescued pets to become ready for their new forever homes.

On Wednesdays, we are going to begin featuring a  pet from one of these rescue groups each week that is looking for a new home.

If you are looking for a specific breed or size pet, let us know and we can try to match you up with one of these groups. They do a great job of preparing these pets for their new homes and matching the right pet to the right family.

Some of the groups we work with are:

• Big Dogs USA Rescue
• Boston Terrier Rescue of SC: http://bostonrescueofsc.org/
• Carolina Bassett Hound Rescue: http://cbhr.com/
• Furlife German Shepherd Rescue: http://www.furlifegsr.com/
• Little Paws Dachshund Rescue: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/SC412.html
• Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue: http://www.midatlanticpugrescue.org/
• Southern States Rescued Rottweilers: http://www.southernstatesrescuedrottweilers.org/

 Please look for our featured pet each week! And Meet JJ, our featured pet for this week below!!

JJ; is a purebred Boston terrier who is about 8 years old and weighs about 18 lb. When he came to us from a shelter, he was in pretty bad shape. He really looked like he wasn't going to make it much longer. He was found to have a heart condition and is now doing well on 3 daily medications that are fairly inexpensive. He is heartworm negative and has had all his vaccines.

He enjoys tennis balls and trying to join in play time with his furry siblings. JJ's energy spurts are short and a lot of his time is spent napping. JJ is mostly house-trained and uses a doggy door. He does still have a few accidents as he is on a fluid pill. He wears a little pad at night with a belly band.
JJ likes to ride in the car and enjoys his baths. He is just a little boy who is learning to be loved and spoiled. He is a sweet little fella and needs a spacial mommy or daddy for this special-needs baby.
To find out more about Jermey (or JJ), call his foster mom, Kate, at 770-868-9985. To adopt Jeremy, go to bostonrescueofsc.com and fill out the adoption application. Jeremy's adoption fee is $200.
