When we’re hit with our hardest times, having someone to lean on and love is what keeps us going. But for many homeless animals in Habersham County, when they go through their hardest times, it’s because they’ve lost the people they had to lean on.
In this week’s Adopt-A-Pet, we’re highlighting two abandoned animals who lost everything. Currently in the loving care of Habersham County Animal Care and Control, these two sweet animals, Bune and Buster, could use a happy home to make new memories in.
Meet Bune
Meet Bune, a beautiful female cat looking for a family that will stay by her side through thick and thin.
Bune was brought to the shelter after being abandoned at the beginning of the month, and is hopeful that someone will meet her and fall in love.
“I felt completely rejected when my family left me,” she says. “I have a little bit of hope in my heart from what other cats at the shelter have told me, though, about being adopted. I dream about someone choosing me, and sticking around to love me.”
Bune says her ideal fur-ever home is one with lots of good meals and yummy treats, and humans that make her feel loved and wanted.
“I know that I deserve a second chance,” Bune says. “I just want to stop imagining what it will be like to I get it, and start living it instead.”
Meet Buster
Meet Buster, a sweet-as-can-be Georgia Brown Dog mix who needs a lot of love.
Like Bune, Buster was also abandoned. When HCACC found him on the road last month in Alto, they waited for someone to reclaim him. But no one ever came. At the shelter, Buster tested heartworm positive and could use lots of love and affection to get him through his treatment.
“These past few weeks haven’t been easy,” Buster says. “Everyone here has been so kind to me, helping me try to eat enough to feel like myself and get me back in shape while I deal with heartworms.’
Even with that love and kindness, Buster would really like to have a warm home to overcome his health challenges in, with a person who could give him the stability he needs.
“I’ve been shown so much love here at the shelter,” Buster says. “But I’m ready to have a family, a home, and know all about what it’s like to be loved.”
