Rescue Update: Colby (formerly Monty)

A wonderful update from Sue Brown Becker (of Dogma Rescue) on Colby, who was pulled by Pat Rupp in January 2010 (under Human Society of Citrus County) from Citrus County Animal Services. He was surrendered to the shelter when his owner became incarcerated and was unable to be responsible for him. He certainly has been given a great new life. We love to get these updates - great work Pat & Sue!

"Sue, Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful summer I am having. Dad and I are taking early morning walks, playing with my friends at the end of the street & taking cool swims in the pond. Thanks for finding me a loving family last year. Love, Colby"

Another Life Saved - Sarge in his new home!

After 3 months of tireless work by FOCCAS president Mike DeRose to diagnose Sarge's medical needs and give him the opportunity he so deserved to find a loving forever homes - we received a fantastic report and photos from Sarge's new family! We were all so worried about Sarge and Mike never gave up! We look forward to future updates!




Here is a message from his new family:
Hey Mike! Just wanted to check-in with you and let you know that Sarge is
adapting to his new home quite well. He's quite the character, as you
probably already know. He is very smart and lovable and we are all glad to
have him as a part of our family. We have a vet appointment with Dr. Dunn
this Thursday at 3:30, so I will let you know how it goes. He has been
living life here, playing fetch non-stop, getting brushed daily, and of
course receiving all kinds of attention from his golden retriever mix
sister, Addison and all of his cousin dogs. I'm glad we were able to help
this little boy out because he truly is an amazing companion. Hope you
enjoy the pictures, there will always be more to come in the future!

Thank you to all who helped out. Wanted to share a few fun pictures. Our little puppy Boo was so tired he fell asleep in Pat’s arms. Pat must be a magnet for dogs. Houndoggie had thoughts of being a lap dog. Our dogs were loved by all!!!!
