Hurricane
Preparedness
The
Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) reminds us that "Andrea, the first tropical storm of the season,
recently kicked off what is forecast to be an above-average hurricane
season." Please remember, if you've not already done so, you need
to create a plan, gather supplies and ensure you have everything you need
for your pet in the event you must evacuate. We encourage you to visit
the HSUS site for tips about putting together a Pet Emergency Kit as well as
other valuable information. Visit their site: Hurricane

Featured Rescue: Moses Joseph
We
love happy endings, don't you? Meet
Moses Joseph, a lively and friendly 4 year old Keeshond rescued from north
GA after having been abandoned at a local public shelter. Moses had a
mature cataract in his right eye that required removal and the placement of
a new lens in order to enable him to see out of his right eye. All of us at Florida Keeshond Rescue thank Dr. Brown of
the Animal Eye Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida (Animal
Eye Clinic), the
Bellino Family and everyone who offered prayers and support for this very
special boy. We are happy to report that Moses Joseph now has full
sight in both eyes and he also has his very own forever family thanks to Ed
and Gerry Palmieri and Tina. A very happy ending for a very
special boy! Moses Joseph is a GREAT dog and a
total love who brings joy to the heart of anyone who meets him. There are
many wonderful Keeshonden, each with his or her special story, in need of
medical assistance, fostering and a forever family. Florida Keeshond
Rescue, like most rescues, seldom recoups the amount we pay out for
veterinary care for our foster dogs so please help us help them in whatever
ways you are able, make a donation, pledge funds, join us in prayers and/or
consider fostering or adopting. Together we can ensure that awesome
dogs like Moses Joseph continue to get the care they need to have the best
life. Thank you.

hope you enjoy reading this issue of Fuzz Buzz and that the information is
helpful to you and your Kees. We would like this to be your Newsletter
and value your input and suggestions. So, get your thinking caps on
now and tell us please: Have you attended a class on a topic
related to animal welfare or animal health care and learned something
valuable you can share with fellow Kees lovers? Do you have
information on specific topics you would like to have published? Do
you just want to share a story, poem or thoughts about your rescued
Kees that you feel others would enjoy? If you answered "yes" to
any of these questions, please send your thoughts. Any format, printed,
faxed, or e-mailed will do, but it would be easiest for newsletter

Caregivers Needed
2007 proved to be
another very active year for us with over 40 dogs needing our assistance. Each dog
is so special and deserving of respect and the love of a forever
family. What a wonderful blessing our adopters are for these dogs and
we thank each one of you for opening your hearts and home for a rescued
Keeshond. We're six months into 2008, and we have already been
contacted to help many, MANY dogs! At this time we have only two active foster homes and
hope you will consider becoming a foster caregiver - the dogs need you and
so do we! All approved expenses associated with the care of
Keeshonden in our foster care program are paid by Florida Keeshond
