Bogey's New Life! A Story of Survival and Love!























This makes all the volunteer hours, the time struggles, and the hard work all worth it. Bogey has touched everyone's hearts with his story of survival. He is such a happy soul and just enjoys everything in life.






I wanted to share these heart-touching pictures of Bogey with his new family. You can see that they all love him and have helped him be at home finally. They have experienced giving him a bath (yeah... Archie wasn't too thrilled). They have had their walls rattled with his huge bark. And they have just hung out and played with him. His new siblings (human and dog) are doing well and are having one big party in the house.












Bogey has been through so much to get where he is today and that would never have happened with the love and dedication of so many people. Thank you to the shelter that took him in, the people that found and caught him in the woods, to the doctors, to the people that organized his transport here while he was still new with his amputation. Thank you to the volunteers that hung out with him at events, to the fosters he lived with, the neighbors that gave him love and belly rubs, to an entire rescue that was at attention when he discovered he COULD still jump a fence. Thank you to the Hayfield Animal Hospital who boarded him and the techs that walked him and feed him, to the volunteers that helped with the home visit information for his new family.... I think i have made my point!!!! Mostly, thank you to his new family that has opened their home and their hearts to such a special guy! Archie (although we will always remember the him as the Bogster :)), we are so happy for you.
This is why we all do what we do!

Bogey and Lucky Dog have help!

I was contacted my a wonderful group this week that offered to help reimburse Lucky Dog for Bogey's expenses. This wonderful family started their fundraising/rescue group when they took in a pitbull named Walter, hence the name, Walter Rescue. They will be having a fundraising BBQ this month in Baltimore in his honor. Check out their site: www.walterrescue.org

Bogey's ... now known as ARCHIE!!!

Bogey has a new name! It couldn't be more perfect either. His new family decided he was more of a Archie than a Bogart a.k.a Bogie. How funny!
His first day consisted of making sure he had marked the entire yard, romping with his new dog sibling and watching an Orioles game with his Dad. Bogie... Archie... slept next to his new Mom and Dad's bed on his first night and made sure he galloped up onto the bed in the morning to make sure they new he hadn't left them!
They got a good taste for his shepherd bark and noise with his crate on the first day, but he is adjusting wonderfully despite the noise.
