which time it could be too late for your animals.
A form is available on The Newscaster website. Go to our homepage and click on
this story, the the link at the bottom of the page. We end up with many pets whose owners
may have thought, or were even assured, that a special someone would take care of their pet
forever, if necessary. Be certain your pets’ future is planned for by you, and someone, or a
rescue group, which has a proven record, to care for your pet.
We have no relatives who would provide a home for any, or all, of our pets, like
we would want for them, so this is a form we will use and can alter, as we please, to be sure
someone can get to our pets and be sure they are re-homed. If they are too old for someone
to want them, we would provide funds for them to be gently euthanized at a veterinarian’s
office and meet us on the other side. For more information call Donna Scott,352.527.9050,A
