It's really not a shelter anymore, but a rescue center. Bobbi and the Strays, bought a public kill shelter and turned it into a private rescue center a couple of years ago. During the first year they got hit with Hurricane Irene, evacuated and luckily very little damage. They weren't so lucky with Sandy. They evacuated and were hit with 4 feet of salt water. Everything had to be replaced including the all the wiring, heating system, a/c's and washers and dryers and all the products and most of the food stored in a trailer was lost. It was a mess., but the public pitched in and got things rolling again. The animals stayed at an empty warehouse and some with temporary fosters until they could be moved back to the center.
Their bio doesn't say how long the chis have been there. They are two 6 pound brothers and about 8-10 yrs old. They have to be adopted together as they are very bonded. Sure would be nice if they found a forever home soon. http://www.bobbiandthestrays.org/AnimalDetail.aspx?id=1319&type=dog Peggy -------Original Message------- From: Mommabear7772004 Date: 10/5/2013 3:21:48 PM To: all_chihuah...@yahoogroups.com; Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Chihuahuas] Freeport Long Island [1 Attachment] [Attachment(s) from Mommabear7772004 included below] These 2 sweeties have been waiting a year in a shelter on Long Island .
