Dogs Need Home After Fire

Floyd Pond is doing really well considering that earlier this month he lost his home and his wife of more than 20 years to a fire. Facing the task of rebuilding his life, and weeks of surgery to heal his own burns, he's made the difficult decision to seek homes for his beloved pets. 

Don't let their names fool you. Cujo and Sumo are more like teddy bears. Cujo, the biggest of the two, is a Chow mix, 7 years old, and was adopted from the Halifax Humane Society by Floyd and his late wife Robin. Sumo, a full-blooded Chow, is 5 and is a little more reserved. Both are

 friendly, housetrained, good with kids and other dogs. Until now, they've enjoyed life in the big back yard at Floyd's home. Now they're making due on the porch of a family member's home while Floyd travels to Shands Hospital for treatment. 

Ideally, Floyd would love to find someone who would foster the dogs for 6 months to a year to allow him time to recuperate and find a new home for himself. But if an individual or family is interested in adopting, he's perfectly happy to accept that kind of outreach.
