Boones Surgery
Spende geschützt
On April 20th, 2020, the sweet 3-year-old black lab Boone was hit by a car. Eddie and Amanda, Boone’s hero’s, made the decision to follow through with a very expensive surgery to fix Boone’s leg that is broken in 3 places.
These two would never ask for anything and are two of the kindest people I have ever met. Please, if you have anything to give, let’s help relieve the financial burden for Eddie and Amanda. These two have given Boone the absolute best life, and his story is just beginning. In addition, please pray for Boone’s surgery to go well and for him to make a fast recovery. Donations may also be made directly to Boone's account at Willow Creek Vet Clinic in Pierce, NE.
*Boone's Story
Remember this sweet face?
The sweet, 3-year-old black lab who was confined to a kennel for 3 years of his life. His previous owners would get called in to authorities because of his barking, to which they “resolved” by placing a bark collar on him that would shock him every time he would make the slightest bark. This nasty bark collar left permanent burn marks on the back neck. Thankfully, a very courageous neighbor messaged me during the historical floods in 2019, about a dog next door and how the water from the flood was overtaking his kennel. I promptly notified authorities, and they did a welfare check on the dog. A few days later, the neighbor informed me that the dog’s owners were looking for a new home for him and had tried posting it in the newspaper, but nobody had contacted them so they didn’t know what to do. They simply did not want this dog anymore. One day while walking with my mom and daughter, I decided we should stop and knock on the door to meet his owners and talk to them about the possibility of re-homing their black lab. After just a few minutes of talking with them, I asked if I could meet their dog. When we reached his kennel he began to growl, he wasn’t used to other people approaching his kennel—only his owners who came out to feed him twice a day. His kennel was caked in feces, and his fur the same. It made my heart break in a million pieces. As soon as he was out of the kennel (on a leash at this point), I knelt down for him to sniff me. He wasn’t quite sure at first, but I could tell right away that he had the sweetest little personality and longed to just be loved on. Since I had my daughter with me, and the dog was on a leash, I let him approach her stroller carefully. It was evident that he loved children, even though he had never been around them. He was very careful with my daughter, and she quickly fell in love with him. I took a few pictures and videos of him and posted his info on my Facebook page.

A friend of mine I went to High School with, Eddie, contacted me almost immediately after I posted the pictures and videos of this lab on my Facebook. He lives on a farm, has another lab named Yogi, and a very sweet girlfriend (now fiancé) named Amanda, who also loves dogs. I thought PERFECT, this could not be a better match. He wanted to meet this lab so we scheduled a time the next day for him to come to my house and meet him. That next day I drove over to the dogs home and tried to coax him into my car with a pan of fresh turkey, to which he completely denied and refused to get in my car. Since I couldn’t get him in the car, I decided I would take him by leash and just walk him to my house. It was raining and a bit chilly out, but he didn’t care! This pup could not have been more excited to go on a walk. He was smelling everything and moving at a lightning pace. (I guess this was more like a run than a walk) We finally reached my house, and I tried everything to get him through my fence gate. He was utterly terrified of being confined—which I couldn’t blame him at all. He just wanted to be free. I got my husband to come and sit with him in the garage to wait for Eddie to come meet him. After arriving at my house and meeting this pup, Eddie promptly agreed to take him in. Fast-forward a couple of days, and this pup, now named Boone, took a ride in my car to his furever home!

This is where "Boone's" life began. On the farm, Eddie & Amanda taught him to walk (something he didn't know how to do, as he had never been out of his kennel), run, swim, hunt & just be a dog. Most importantly, for the 1st time in his 3 years of life, they taught him what love was. He had permanent burn marks on his neck (from his shock/ bark collar) & he was scared of people, particularly men. Through Eddie & Amanda's patience & love, he's learned to trust people again, and has become a great dog. Tonight, "Boone" is in the fight of his life again, after being accidentally struck by a car on the farm, the home he has grown to know & love.”
