Does it break your heart into a million pieces thinking of an animal stuck in a cage (for multiple years)? …. Cue the Queen song “I want to break freeeeeeeeee” Hi, my name is Benny. I was brought into the Lancaster shelter and am super scared of men (I don’t mean to be, but unfortunately there must have been a man who previously didn’t treat me well). But that doesn’t stop me from loving life, even the shelter staff could tell! In fact, all of the shelter staff LOVED me so much that I quickly became a ‘staff favorite!’ Unfortunately, even being staff favorite isn’t enough for a pittie like me to get noticed . So I sat, I. wished, and I waited as the shelter got fuller and fuller… The shelter became so full that I was scheduled to be killed because they needed more room for other pups like me (pitties like me don’t get noticed as much as the other pups). But then a miracle happened. Miracle part 1 - An amazing rescue organization got me out of the shelter hours before I was going to be euthanized (wahoo!). Miracle part 2- They put me into a boarding & training program so I can let my true colors shine while they find my future forever family. Although I’m so grateful for the boarding/training program, us pups don’t usually get the love and 1 on 1 attention/zen environment in boarding facilities like we do in a warm home (I still have to be in a cage here, just like at the shelter). I’ve been in this boarding/training program for almost 2 years and would love to be able to move into a foster home as the next step in my journey (being in a home will make me feel so cozy, and comfortable, and also allow the rescue to get cute photos of me to show off to the world and help find my forever home!). Unfortunately, that step costs more money and the amazing rescue org needs help raising money to make that next step happen. Miracle part 3- Here’s what the rescue org that saved me are looking for: * We need to raise funds to get Benny in a professional foster environment with someone who is also a trainer and who will showcase Benny as the dream Angel that he is. * The in-home foster/ trainer will cost $700 a week and we think that in a month of Benny settling into a new environment with a new human, we will be able to get the footage that we need to be able to help this sweet boy never have to be kenneled ever again. * Our goal is to raise $8,500 (in tax-deductible donations) to cover the minimum 3-month time period required by the new trainer who will be fostering him in their home, networking him and socializing him. If you have anything to spare please consider helping sweet Benny. If there ever was a dog who deserves this help, it’s him. Every dollar counts
