Sonny is one of the Forgotten Friends Rescue Dogs that is presently in foster care. He was tied to a fence at a local business. When the animal control came to get him, they discovered he needed emergency treatment, he had an embedded collar and a tumor on his neck. That and the fact that his bones were showing proved to us that he was surely a forgotten friend.

I rescued Nikita 2 years ago from a shelter (more of a pound) that was shut down one week later for cruelty. She's fearful of people but great with me and so good. I wish I had the room to foster a dog - maybe some day. I volunteered for a while so I know what you mean.
Keep up the good work - I hope Sammy is OK.

Our longtime volunteer, Lauren. Isn't she awesome?
Sammy is blind because he has detached retners (not sure of spelling) and he was playing in the house and banged his head on the furntiure. After that we discovered his lense became loose. The doctor said that the unprotected eye will eventually cause him pain. This was only 2 weeks ago and so the pain came sooner than he had predicted. He is only 3 or 4 years old, poor boy and he is such a good dog. Both eyes will be replaced with prosthetic (spelling bad). My group's website is Forgottenfriendsoflongisland.org if you want to take a peek at him. Dixie is the dog I am fostering so you can peek at her too and read her story. A friend of mine loves turtles, will have to tell him about yours. Thank you for your kind words. Laura
