Layla, Carlton and Razz
















I need to make an update on Adoptions :)
Layla the rabbit found a wonderful new home. She now lives with A Mom, Dad and their son and another bunny by the name of Oreo. They sent me a picture of Oreo and he is very handsome, he is black and white with very large ears! Layla had been abandoned at a local park. She was running free and lost, scared and vulnerable. An animal loving couple took hours out of their day to catch Layla ( and they succeeded) and bring her to us, so we could spay her and find her a great home. She has come a long way from being left behind to fend for herself, to the pampered family bunny she is now.
Carlton is a guinea pig that had been abandoned behind a business building with over 50 other guinea pigs back in June. He has been in foster care with board member, Christine. I love Carlton's calico colors, and his New Mom , Jennifer, fell in love with him on the spot. She has updated us on how Carlton is doing. She says, He is being shy, he runs in his igloo to hide when he is startled, but she still loves him to death no matter what.
We are very excited about Razz the turtle's adoption. Razz was originally taken to the vet to be euthanized because his owner couldn't care for him anymore. He was with Rosebud the painted turtle as well ( recently adopted) The vet's office convinced the owner to surrender the turtles in instead of choosing to euthanize them because they were both perfectly healthy and had a lot of life to live yet. The vet then called us up so we could pick up Rosebud and Razz and foster them until they found homes. Razz is a very BIG boy and our vet estimated him to be around 30 years old. Due to his age and size , we knew we would have difficulty finding him a home. Amanda and her boyfriend recently lost their beloved turtle to cancer and were looking to add a new shelled friend into their life. They had seen Razz on Petfinder for a long time, they noticed other turtles get adopted but not Razz. they felt for him and knew they could offer him the loving home he needed. They have a 90 gallon long tank, perfect for the big "Clunker" he is, and have all the accessories and food he needs. They have also lovingly re-named him Bubba, that name suits him. Thank you Amanda for adopting a senior pet! :) I know you'll enjoy each day, months and years he'll be with you.
