Name That Borzoi Contest!
The "Name That Dog Contest" has ended. The dogs' names
have been chosen and are now posted on their pictures
page. Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest
- it raised another $346!
(January 11, 2005) The Houston SPCA won their case in court yesterday
and the breeder/owner of the 22 Borzoi seized from Liberty
County, TX lost custody of the dogs. The SPCA has agreed
to let NBRF have all 22 of the dogs. All the dogs will be
spayed or neutered before they are released to us by the
shelter. They all tested heart worm negative and have already
gotten their vaccinations. They will start surgeries on
them next week doing 5 or so dogs at a time and that is
how they will be released to us. They will be kept at the
shelter for two days after their surgeries.
The SPCA asked only for donations to cover the costs on the
dogs. If you can spare even $5.00 please send any donation
to:
The Houston SPCA
900 Port Way Drive
Houston, TX 77024
Please be sure to write on your check that it is for the Borzoi.
I know any donation you are able to make and even just a
Thank You note will be greatly appreciated. This shelter
has spent a LOT of their money on these dogs and the investigation
that went into getting them. The medical for all of them
did not come cheap either. Please let them know the Borzoi
community cares about their dogs. If you or someone you
know is interested in adopting one of these Borzoi, please
email me or better yet, fill out our adoption
application and email it to me. Please state in the
subject line of the email it is for one of the TX 22.
