“Life is like a box of
chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.”
These words ring true for our
newest K-Kid, named, of course, Forrest. This beautiful Frenchie
mix was found running the streets of Omaha, but unlike his
namesake in the movie, who ran because he just felt like
running, our Forrest was running because he had no place to go.
The fine folks at the
Nebraska Humane Society took this sweet boy in, treated him
for a nasty case of tapeworms, neutered him, chipped him, and
released him into the custody of one of The French Bulldog
Village volunteers. We were more than happy to answer the call
to retrieve Forrest from the Nebraska Humane Society, so they
could give his bed to another homeless animal in need.
Forrest has hung up his running shoes at his
foster mom’s house with 2 foster fur siblings, Bubba and Jenny,
(ok, ok, Raider and Ruby) to watch over him and show him the
ropes. Hard to imagine that this big, healthy handsome
Midwestern boy, tipping the scales at 30 plus pounds, could be
anything but confident, but our Forrest is actually a very
scared, little dog. His rambles through Omaha have left him none
too sure of his welcome, but, with the dedication of his foster
family, our Forrest will learn to come out of his shell and
trust people again. We are hoping that, in no time at all, our
Forrest will find his own “magic shoes” and find a home of his
own. When that happens, we can gleefully shout….(here it comes)
”Run, Forrest, Run”!
Forrest didn't bring anything with him, when he came into foster
care, so he really could use what most dogs take for granted: a new
collar and leash, some toys of his own, and a warm bed for those
chilly Nebraska nights. Please click on the globe to sponsor
Forrest, he would surely be grateful. Thank you!
