Happy Endings!!

Little Boldie has found a new home and he is thriving. Boldie was found abandoned in a garage with his two sisters Fluffy and Twinkie when they were about 4 weeks old. Look how happy he is now!!  Help us have more happy endings for animals like Boldie.

Just look at me now!

Also, Fluffy and Twinkie were adopted by a nice couple in Newburyport, MA, and they  couldn’t be happier.

Fluffy and Twinkie loving their new home.
