BUCKAROO – A1055936
Safe 11-5-2015 Manhattan Rescue: HVARS Please honor your pledges: http://www.hvars.org/
**SAFE 11/05/15** SAVED FROM A FIRE BY NYFD, ONLY TO BE KILLED BY THE ACC! Oh please, as if New York didn’t already have enough to be ashamed of when it comes to their shelter system, here comes BUCKAROO to give one more reason. This AVERAGE-rated boy was found in the MIDDLE OF A FIRE and brought to the shelter on October 25th, and already, the ACC wants to finish him off. Wonder how the fire department who saved Buckaroo would feel about that? Volunteers love him: “A volunteer writes: Hi, everyone! My name is Buckaroo, and I have quite the tail to tell (get it?) I used to live in a laundromat, and then some of New York’s bravest found me in the middle of fire. Whew, that’s a lot of stuff for a 4 year old guy. Really, I just want a relaxed life where I can be loved and get to live with human friends. Will you consider helping me find my forever home?” BUCKAROO needs a FOSTER of ADOPTER to save his life, tonight!
