Gimme’ Shelter – Foster needed for Barbaro

*Foster needed!*

This is Barbaro and he is handsome as he is friendly. He has a cruciate ligament injury which we hoped would heal with cage rest (per THE Dr. Clark) but sadly it hasn’t. Barbaro will see Dr. Clark again in the middle of July to make a plan for his leg amputation but he doesn’t need to be at the shelter waiting around – he ought to be in a home!

We are looking for a foster who can keep him separate from other animals or be a solo friend and tend to him after his leg amputation, too.

Barbaro is 3 to 4 years old, neutered, tested, chipped and vaccinated and just wants to be loved in a safe place before and after his surgery!

If you are interested in fostering, please send an email to provanimalcontrol@gmail.com.

P.S. – A foster to adopt home is even better!

About the Providence Animal Control Division

The Providence Animal Control Division protects the health and safety of our residents and their pets with progressive leadership and education, and continues to engage the hearts and minds of the community to help all animals.

As of November 2015, the Animal Control Division has adopted a “low risk euthanasia” philosophy of healthy adoptable animals and will continue to improve the live release rate of shelter animals via adoptions, returning strays to their owners, transferring animals to rescues, TNR, programs/services and treating medical cases. We believe that with progressive programs, we can have a more humane City. Through our Gimme Shelter program, PAC is spaying and neutering owned and feral cats for Providence residents. To participate please send a message through our FaceBook page at Providence Animal Care Center.
