*SAFE* 10/16/15 – A volunteer writes: Super senior alert. Crinkly ears makes him all the more loveable. A golden senior displaced by the hardships in life. His 15 years of life turned upside down with no security in sight. Can you take him home and offer him safety in his retirement years? Can you make him comfortable and peaceful once again? He is a gentle sweet soul who enjoys a soft pat on the head. Smokey deserves more than this in his twilight years.
