Well, I've done it again! I fell in love with a little guy named Pepe and he will be coming home to ARK in the next week or so. He's in NY at the moment and is having surgery tomorrow - neuter and dental. Here is what I know about him so far -
"He's a 13-year-old purebred Maltese, a very sweet old man, who spent his first 10 years with a breeder, probably living life in a kennel as a sperm donor. He was then sold and wound up on the street, matted and a mess. He was saved by A Buddy for Life in Maryland, and was sent up here to find a forever home. His eyesight and hearing is poor, but his personality is just wonderful."
One of our members here, Lori - Max's mom, does rescue work in NY but she works with big dogs. Pepe weighs 4 lbs! So he will fit in here just fine. Lori has been posting about Pepe on FB for a few weeks now and I usually share his pic. Every time I saw it, I fell a little more in love with him. Lori says he is shy at first but once he warms up, he wants to be held, will play with you, and follow you around. So he wants to be loved. That he will get in spades here and always know he is safe now, and wanted just for himself, not what he can provide.
I'm so excited! :D Here is the pic from FB - http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx168/girffie/Pepe_zpse6a58681.jpg (http://s752.photobucket.com/user/girffie/media/Pepe_zpse6a58681.jpg.html)
I'll let ya'll know more as I do!
Hugs,
Leslie
