Your Pet's Story or Bio
Boris was surrendered to the shelter about a year ago. He was neglected by previous adopters and had lost about 13 pounds. His ribs were visible through layers of thick Siberian Husky fur. My daughter and I visit the shelter often and we fell in love with Boris right away. We remember seeing him very thin and losing lots of fur. He had such a sweet loving quality about him despite his circumstances.
We had lost our 17 year old beagle about 5 months prior to seeing Boris and weren't quite ready for a new dog. Last February we lost my dad to colon cancer. We thought this might be a good time to start asking about Boris. We were going to wait until summer for a new dog, but the time just seemed right and Boris would most likely be gone by then. As soon as he was available we put a request in and the rest is sweet history.
