PUPDATE OCT 2: Homeless Homer is no longer homeless!!! He's found a REAL family who REALLY loves him, gimpy leg and all, and who will NEVER tie him out and leave him alone and treat him bad and kick him out just because he can't walk up a bunch of steps. AND his buddy, Dano, adopted the same family so the two boys get to stay together!! We couldn't be any happier.

To the family who didn't love Homer enough in his golden years to keep him in the family....PFFFFFFFFFFFT!!'

AUG 24: Hi out there. I'm Homer but my name should be Homeless Homer instead. After living with my family for all my life (12 years) and loving them all the time and sleeping with my new little brother and always being there for them when they were sad or happy and never caring what they looked like when they got up in the morning and even when they didn't take me to the dogtor and my toofers got all rotten I still loved 'em and even though they let my hairs get so matted that it looked like I had four ears I still loved 'em and even all the times that they didn't feed me I still loved 'em but they kicked me out anyway because they got a new house and they said I couldn't do steps but I can do a few steps. They didn't take care of me so now I've got a gimp leg and did I complain when the cat scratched out my eyeball so that now I can't see out of it? No. I guess loyalty and love mean nothing.

So now you know my story. I'm 12 years young, got one good eyeball, got a gimpy leg but it's getting better now that I'm taking this gel stuff, got 6 rotted toofers taken out and skinny as a fence rail. My foster Mom said she could pawbably use me as a pencil. My bones stick out and I've got a really bad haircut but I don't care because I had buttloads of mats and a nice lady cut 'em off me and now I feel like a new man. I'm supposed to be a long haired dachsie boy but right now, my hairs are real short. They're soft but they're real short.

I like 2-legged kids who are nice. I get along with other 4-legged kids. I love everyone. I want to be held and kissed and I love to snuggle. My foster Mom says I'm good in bed - no, not like THAT....I cuddle up close and go right to sleep. I'm just a very, very good ol' guy and all I need is a family who won't throw me out like yesterday's stale treats. I only weigh 7 pounds so I don't take up much room. I never thougt at my age I'd be looking for a new family and a new home, but here I am. Actually, it's a good thing since now I'm getting food and my baseball-sized mats are gone and I'm not living outside anymore. I hope there's someone out there who will love me.

Please be patient with us - we're taking care of a lot of kids - our own and the foster kids - and we have families, homes and full time jobs. We're giving meds to the sick kids, playing with the healthy kids, and loving on all the kids. We're doing their laundry, trying to teach them manners and where to do their business, and cleaning up their accidents. In other words, we're just a little busy but we'll return email inquiries just as fast as we pawssibly can. Thanks!

ADOPTIONS: We don't let the fact that you might live out of state stop any adoption that's meant to be, but you MUST be willing to drive, or fly, all the way to pick up your new family member. We do not ship these kids on airplanes by themselves - we think they'd have a hard time getting through security without their rabies tag setting off the metal detectors. If the kid needs a health certificate because they're flying home, that will be an expense for the new family.

ADOPTION DONATIONS: When you see the adoption donation amounts, we'd like you to know that 90% of the time the donation amount doesn't even come close to covering that kid's dogtor bills. This is definitely not a money-making venture. We're usually so far in the hole but the impawtant thing is to get these kids the medical care they need and help them find the pawfect family. That's our top pawority. (I just can't resist using 'paw' whenever I can!)

POTTY TRAINING: Please note that we NEVER say our kids are 100% potty-trained. How stupid would we be to say something like that? If you're willing to be trained by your new family member, please fill out an application. If you're looking for a totally potty-trained kid, you may as well stop at the toy store on your way home from work and buy a stuffed toy because those are the only reliable ones to NOT potty in your home. There is a period of adjustment, not just for the new family member but for everyone in the house. You must be patient, understanding, and willing to work with your new family member. It can take anywhere from several days to several months. You must be 100% committed to this, it's a lifetime commitment.

Hug and kiss your kids like there's no tomorrow.
