FROM LAPS FOSTER HOME

Laredo Animal Protective Society January 2013

When a dog is being fostered in a good loving home it

begins to know what a caring affectionate family feels

like. In order for any dog to become a loving pet, it

must first have experience and opportunity to be

around a human family. This experience is even more

important for a shelter dog and that is why it is a

prodigious idea to foster them. Mr. and Mrs. Gutierrez

have opened their hearts and home to many shelter pets

and in return have been rewarded with the satisfaction

of helping provide a second chance to those in need.

When asked what kind of audience would be the

appropriate for fostering an animal they replied,

“Those who are open minded”. And that is completely

correct. Dogs need to be treated with care in many

different ways. Also, a foster dog learns to get along

with the other dogs. Their pets did not seem to mind

the new family member at all. They all got along pretty

well. They seemed very happy, especially Mr. and

Mrs. Gutierrez!

Shelter dogs are special living creatures. For them to

get the opportunity of a second chance in life we, as

humans, should try to the best of our abilities to give

them the life they truly deserve. That is why there

should be more foster parents willing to foster these

dogs... to help them become a loving pet.

At this current time the Gutierrez family is fostering

two dogs; T-bone, a Sharpie mix, and Precioso, a

special needs Shih Tzu.

HAPPY TAILS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Cleo was surrendered to LAPS the beginning of August 2012 by a citizen

of Laredo that had noticed she was wandering the neighborhood for a few

weeks. After no one had come looking for her, LAPS began the process of

vaccination, quarantine, and shortly after she was spayed and ready for

adoption. Cleo had been to many

Adoption events at PETCO searching for her forever home. Her lucky day

arrived November 24 when Mr. Oliver Saenz, fell in love with CLEO. Even

though Cleo was a bit hesitant she warmed up quite quickly. Cleo now

has a Home, and a sister Gucci. “She is nothing but wonderful, and I love

her sooo Much!” Mr. Saenz, Cleo’s Dad, had stated.
