Great Pyrenees
This is my friend that I nicknamed polar bear while we bonded and I fostered him for visits while he was prisoner #15 at the pound for 8 long nights.(He was picked up by animal control on Feb 18th, THUR) I would spend 2+ hours with him each morning from Sat Feb 20-Friday Feb 26. On Feb 26th his owners claimed him. The following Monday he got loose again and then again on Thursday....by Friday the pound picked him up again so the owners decided to surrender him in hopes he go to a better home. I fostered him again this time for a night so he would not have to spend anymore jail time and then was able to locate him a forever home, his 3rd home in his lifetime so far and this sweet soul is just 3 yrs old. He now lives just down the street from me and has a playmate of the same breed to keep him company and a big family to love him.
Sometimes in life we have special beings that walk through our path and it's a good feeling when you can spend some quality time together even if just briefly as you will cherish those memories a lifetime because they meant so much to you. Don't think that for a second animals don't appreciate what you do for them, they do not forget. They have feelings too. Perhaps today you can take a moment to find out what your local shelter needs, usually someone to walk the dogs or pet the cats. Maybe even offer to foster and help them find a home. Dogs, cats, horses are social creatures...they need your attention, to be loved and given hope.
