| I adopted Hunter, a Borzoi cross male of about 2 years old, from the local SPCA as he was about to be put down after an unsuccessful search for a permanent home for him. I knew that I would not be able to keep him as I already have two Corgis, who are siblings, very jealous and dominant. I was, however, quite desperate to save this beautiful boy. On the first day that I posted Hunter on Rescue Me!, I was contacted by a wonderful lady from Pretoria, South Africa who wanted to adopt him immediately. She fell in love with him instantly just by looking at his picture. I investigated a little further and after several phone calls, decided that my precious boy would be happy in his new environment. Then the search for transport started. During that time I had received several other phone calls of people interested in adopting him, but I had to inform them that he has found a home. With the help of the wonderful people at the Lucky Lucy Foundation, Hunter got a sponsored flight to Pretoria. My local vet, Dr. Frans de Graaf of the Hartenbosch Dierekliniek, was also a tremendous help in giving him painkillers after his sterilisation and a thorough physical examination. I still tried at this point to get all my dogs to get along, but with no success. Since Hunter went to his new mother, I have been in contact with her frequently. He is so happy in his new home and it is all thanks to Rescue Me! and all the wonderful animal lovers who support this site! Annalene Carstens, George, Western Cape, South Africa | |  |
