Quote of the Day

"But with dogs, we do have "bad dog." Bad dog exists. "Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!" The dog is saying, "Who are you to judge me? You human beings who've had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!"

"Well, if you put it that way, I think you've got a point. Have another biscuit, sorry.""

Benld Adopt-A-Pet is asking for donations to help pay for Windy’s surgery
Picture
Windy, a young female Terrier puppy, shown here recuperating  at her Foster Home.  Upon her arrival at BAAP, it was discovered that Windy had two hairline fractures of her right hind leg.
Hi everypawdy!

     It’s me, Windy, just checking in. This is “not” how I expected to start off my “Hot-Girl Summer”. More like “Hot-Girl Bummer”!!
I got my surgery to fix my leg, and now I have to relax and get some rest. I guess cooling off in a puppy pool and doing my daily zoomies will just have to wait! That’s not very fun, but I am enjoying being spoiled.

     My surgery cost $3,455. Some awesome donors have help[ed me cover most of it, but I still need $1,555 or I’ll probably have to get a job. Can you help me out by hitting the donate button? Or maybe even just help spread the word so more people see me. 
     Thanks a bunch!
​

Love,

Windy
