A canine disease called distemper has broke out in a north Miami animal shelter this past Thursday. The large shelter housed around 500 dogs that were either infected with the mostly lethal disease or susceptible to catch it in a short amount of time. The shelter evacuated any dogs that weren't infected to other shelters and foster homes and the ones that were unable to be taken were euthanized.
With dogs of my own I wasn't a candidate to foster in the event that one of the dogs from the shelter could pass on the disease to one, or both, of mine. So I turned to my bachelor friend James who has a house all to himself and no animals what-so-ever.
Hours later a beautiful American Bulldog mix was delivered on to James' doorstep. She thankfully licked everyone there awaiting her arrival (and mystery breed) and made her self at home. Though James is fostering "Mimi" she will still need a permanent home in order to not go back to a shelter.
Please contact if anyone is interested.
