Best makeover candidate: Bobo!!

Bobo has to be one of the greatest makeovers of 2012!

BOBO BEFOREHe came in last winter a starving mangey mess, but he was so beautiful inside.

It is so great to see it now on the outside!

He went to ARVSS after spending a few weeks at RLRR shelter. Now look at this lovely swan!

RLRR wants to thank ARVSS so much for helping BoBo- They take puppies and dogs with severe mange and other health issues. Today it was a great reward to see how BoBo has a great life!

SUSIE & MATT FROM ARVSS WROTE:

It took us a really long time--but we finally found the right family for Bobo! They are a family with three older children (14-19) and they are very active. They will include Bobo in all their plans!!! We are all so happy for him. Susie

Second chance for poor Bobo

A call from a concerned citizen in Red Lake in February during the cold snap told us a little stray shepherd pup was starving and freezing in her yard. The pup reportedly had mange and was basically hairless, wandering from house to house in search of food.

Geri and I answered the call and searched the area and could not find the dog- and returned later and found him. He came to be known as Bobo.

On arrival was very skinny and yes, hairless. He began a treatment of ivermectin, revolution, and antibiotics for skin lesions. He has this very big appetite and he was so happy to have all he could eat.

Bobo's personality began to emerge as he was feeling better and soon became a favorite little man. He had this very low pitched bark and loved to follow me around the kennel yard, waiting to get his special treat of canned dog food when he was tucked in his kennel.

Bobo went to the March clinic and was neutered and vaccinated and was regrowing hair nicely.

Bobo left the RLRR shelter on March 10th enroute to a very special foster home with Matt and Susie at ARVSS. We have heard that they are working with him on cats and he is progressing well.

HE SURE LOOKS HAPPY!We want to thank all the supporters who make it possible to rescue the Bobos and get them on to a good life. We are thankful for food, straw, kennels, medicines and of course the transporters and rescues that take Bobo and others like him on to a decent life.

Bobo will never have to walk the streets looking for food and shelter again thanks to you.

I miss him, but am happy for him.

Sincerely,
Karen and RLRR
