2/3/03 "Libby" is a two year old Neardie who was left at a Mississippi shelter because her owners were moving. She was adopted shortly afterwards, but returned to the shelter along with several other dogs which her adoptive mom could no longer care for.

Several weeks passed, and no one adopted Libby. Then a wonderful thing happened. A rescue person, Carol Descher, posted to us that there was a Neardie in the Mississippi shelter. Could BONE help? As there was no one in that area, potential adopters in surrounding states were notified. BINGO! Christie in Alabama had been waiting for a Neardie for some time and she jumped at the offer of Libby, even though the dog was more than 8 hours of driving away. Judy Barnette in Ohio and Barb Makris in CA worked together to arrange the rescue of Libby from the shelter, transportation and a home check. Pam Weims performed a home check the day AFTER Libby arrived in her new home and reports that the match was a perfect one, right down to Libby loving the resident cat!

Libby is heartworm positive, and BONE has generously agreed to pay for the treatment. Without BONE, this dog never would have gotten out of the shelter, received veterinary care, spaying, etc. Thanks BONE.
