We were all saddened by the loss of Buddha, Jim Stevens' faithful companion, earlier this year. His best friend and sidekick as Jim walked around town picking up litter and making repairs in our community.
Jim has been grieving but feels he is ready to take on a new bestie now. As much as he would like to rescue a dog Jim thinks he would prefer a puppy he can train from scratch, as this dog too, will be out in the streets as part of our community. A puppy Jim can train to feel safe around people and cars.
As many of you know, Jim is a humble man and will hate a big fuss to be made but I have cleared this with his daughter, Jen, who has confirmed he is ok for the community to help out. After all, this new puppy will most likely become the community dog.
The money raised will help Jim to purchase a puppy and we will also set up a fund at his vet's to help pay for all the extras, puppy training, vaccinations, food, etc
If everyone is able to offer $5 or $10 we will certainly have enough to cover all his doggy expenses and see a smile on Jim's face again.
We've used this MyCause forum so there is full transparency on money raised.
