Buffy: Shave, bath and life indoors

Poor Buffy arrived the second week in January at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.  He was living outdoors in subzero weather and at first we thought he may be part schnauzer. Dan brought the little guy to the shelter. Buffy was very frightened at first, and gradually came around and was moved into the cathouse where he was warm and cared for by Geri.

After being in the cathouse a few days we got the good news that Jean Rice of Carver Scott Humane Society would take Buffy into her foster care and that’s when his new life began.

It was obvious that Buffy had never been groomed and his nails had not been clipped.  Thanks to Jean, Buffy was shaven, bathed and his nails were clipped. Buffy is actually a poodle!  Now Buffy has a new lease on life and hope for a forever home where he will be properly cared for. 

Red Lake Rosie’s would like to remind local residents that we provide grooming and bathing at our clinics, and there should be no reason why Buffy should have suffered all his life in this condition.  Also, if you decide to have a long-haired breed dog or cat, you MUST provide brushing and grooming. And certainly, these small dogs should not be living outside in this harsh climate!   

Thank you Dan, Jean, Carver Scott and transporters for helping us get Buffy on to a decent life.

Sincerely, Karen and RLRR 

UPDATE FROM FOSTER MOM:

Here's a new photo of Buffy, after his grooming. He loves cuddling, but, also loves to wrestle with our puppy Rico.
