Cinderelbert

Elbert is feeling like Cinderella and Anne is his fairy godmother.

Elbert is a little terrier mix with thinning hair and mange who was found at the garbage dumpster. When Anne came for a visit last week, she and Elbert immediately bonded and she spent time with Elbert holding him, bathing him, and talking to him. He loved it and became very attached to Anne.

ELBERT LOVES ANNEWell, the visit was soon over, and Anne had a hard time leaving Elbert behind. It was not long though- that we got an email telling us that her landlord had approved of her fostering Elbert!!

So- Elbert will be enroute to the metro this Saturday to spend the next few weeks in Anne's care until he is adopted.

Just thinking of Elbert standing out there at the garbage dumpster, and how blessed we were to get him, now the blessing moves on.

We thank the fosters, rescue groups, and all those people who make it possible for Elbert, and others like Elbert to be loved and give love in a life with dignity and kindness.

Sincerely, Karen RLRR

UPDATE FROM ANNE:
This one is the best I could do for now. He is quite hard to capture since he is so busy! (I had to put him on the chair to get him to sit still)

He weighs 10.3 pounds. No accidents so far! I am able to come home from work at 10am. 1pm, and then I'm off at 4:30 so he's not in the kennel for long BUT last night he slept from 9:30 to 6:30 straight through. He is very friendly with all of the new people he has met. I love him sooo much!!
