Sammy in march 2011

Good News: Do you remember “Sammy”, the near death, starved, abused and neglected dog that was brought into the Shelter? There was something about him that made the staff decide not to euthanize him after all. With the love and attention he got at the Shelter he turned into a handsome,friendly very special dog.

The good news is that Sammy has been adopted. What a life he’s lived already in his short time. Congratulations, Sammy and to your new owners. May you have a long and happy life together!

Pet of the week: A Very Happy Ending to a Very Sad Story

Sammy: As he looks now

Remember Sammy, the abused and neglected dog that was pictured in The Reporter October 8-22?

He was in such horrible shape, skinny and sick, but there was something about him that made the Shelter manager decide not to euthanize him. It was a good call because now Sammy, in wonderful health, is now up for adoption.

Thanks to the vet, the staff and the volunteers at the Animal Shelter Sammy is now in terrific and robust  health. His sores and the nasty results of starvation are cured. He has a wonderful attitude, gets very attached to people and loves to play.

He’s also good with other dogs and he loves cats, because he was raised with a little kitten (so we heard) and the two of them were inseparable.

See him at the Bonaire Animal Shelter on the Lagoen Road, open Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 1 pm and 3 to 5 pm. Tel. 717-4989.
