A Special Dog Needs a Home

Every year over 1,700 animals find their way into the Bradford County Humane Society. Some are strays that come in via the dog warden or individuals; some are abandoned and some are, unfortunately, part of a humane investigation and require extreme veterinary care. Because their histories are almost always unknown, we have to learn about the animals from a new perspective.

One such animal, a Staffordshire Terrier mix named Slim, came to the shelter as a stray in November of 2012. Upon examination before a scheduled neutering, he was diagnosed with a heart murmur. Because of this he is not able to withstand surgery. Slim could have a long life, or it could be cut short because of his diagnosis.

Slim is a sweetheart who loves to go for walks and play in water. He walks OK on a leash, keeps his cage clean, and seems to get along with other dogs. Slim is looking for a nice family and a loving home.

If you feel you can open your heart and home to Slim, please stop in at BCHS on Route 220 in Ulster. His adoption fee will be waived for the right adopter.
