Tip a Glass to the CP Holiday Beverages!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

I received a message at home last Thursday from a shelter in Missouri when I arrived home from work. It was too late to call then, so I called Friday morning. They had three young male Cairns that had been surrendered by a local miller that they needed help with as quickly as possible. Things always seem to happen for a reason and timing is everything. Had this shelter called a few weeks or even a few days earlier, the outcome for these three little boys may have been very different ... as we had been away on vacation for almost three weeks and had just gotten home the night before. We would not have gotten the message to help them if they had called any sooner. Fate, maybe; lucky, most definitely!!! What better way to celebrate their freedom, especially at this time of the season, than to raise a glass with your favorite holiday beverage and toast their good fortune to find their way into the loving arms of Col. Potter!

Please help me welcome the Holiday Beverages:

Wassail, grey brindle, 13 pounds - reported to be heartworm positive, but we will be retesting to verify - named after a British Isles holiday punch

Coquito, wheaten, 12.7 pounds - named after a Puerto Rican tropical version of eggnog

Champurrado, wheaten with black, 11.6 pounds - named after a Mexican hot chocolate holiday treat

My thanks to Betsy B., who responded to my urgent plea to get these boys pulled from the shelter before they closed at 5:00 PM on Friday and Kathy & Barney H. for picking them up from Betsy Friday evening and getting them to our vet for their boarding and vetting. Once again, thanks to wonderful volunteers who responded with assistance quickly and without question these adorable little boys found their way to safety and freedom.

They are looking for foster homes and will be ready to travel to start their new lives next Saturday, 12/27. If you are interested in fostering for Col. Potter, please check out our Foster Facts, fill out a Foster Home Agreement or email Col. Potter's Director of Foster Homes at CPCRNFosterHomes@gmail.com.
