SUCCESS STORIES...

The following are just a few stories which comes to mind when thinking about The Biscuit Foundation and how we have already helped a few of your furry friends.
 

Rosie	Rosie is a 6 year old Border Collie mix who's previous owner was diagnosed with cancer on October 12, 2009 and was never able to return home. Without family in the immediate area, Rosie was boarded at a local vet clinic for a few weeks while her owner looked for her a new home. A friend contacted the Biscuit Foundation and we were glad to help in anyway we could. Rosie was surrendered to us on November 28. She was now in our network looking for that special someone to open their heart and home to her. We quickly found out that Rosie was extremely intelligent. She was completely house broken and when she has to go out, she will gently lay her paw on your knee. She enjoys being around people and loves to take long walks. She is a awesome girl and aims to please her people! She is being fostered by Robin Sheppard, one of our board members while we look for her a new home. Sadly,Rosie's previous owner passed away on January 13, 2010, exactly 3 months after she had been diagnosed. Her friend expressed she was at peace knowing Rosie was being cared for by the Biscuit Foundation.
Gretel	Illness and death are non-discriminating. They give equal opportunity to everyone at any age, at any time. And as bleak as this may sound, unbelievable strength, loyalty and happiness can prevail under these circumstances.Gretel, a playful Jack Russell terrier, was left homeless when her 34 year old owner died suddenly. A loyal friend took her in but because of unforeseen circumstances with her own dog, it became apparent Gretel would have to be rehomed. She contacted several rescue organizations without luck.Someone told her about the Biscuit Foundation and we received an e-mail asking if there was anyway we could help.A listener heard about our foundation and cause on a local radio station. Wanting to adopt a pet for her two young girls, she contacted our organization. She explained to us about her father who had recently entered into an assisted living home and although he did not have a pet, she couldn't imagine the heartache he would have experienced if he had to part with a beloved pet.After meeting Gretel, they fell in love. She was the inspiration to unite these two families. The loyalty and strength to carry out a promise to a friend brought unexpected love and happiness to a family that believed in what a good cause the Biscuit Foundation stood for.
Lady-Boo	Lady-Boo is a 14 year old Chihuahua mix. Her owner, 80 years young, had experienced a nasty fall which resulted in a fractured hip. Although surgery was not necessary, rehabilitation and physical therapy services were needed. Living on social security and a limited income, who would care for Lady -Boo was a major concern for her owner. A family member contacted Pampered Pets and explained the situation they were up against. Providing care for Lady-Boo at a reduced rate through The Biscuit Foundation proved to be a welcoming alternative for the family and the owner. Lady-Boo has been fostered and cared for by Robin Sheppard, a Biscuit Foundation board member. Her days are filled with strolls, lying in the sun and taking midday naps and getting all the attention. She has been surrounded by love and eagerly awaits her owner's recovery. Knowing Lady-Boo is happy and loved gives her owner the strength to concentrate on getting better and not stressing over her four-legged baby at this critical time in her life.
