Boo was a young Walker hound who changed hands several times before finally receiving emergency care for numerous internal parasites, a muscle inflammation and a debilitating fungal infection that threatened his life. He was frightened & malnutritioned, with caved ribs & a broken tail.
But his sad, deep eyes responded quickly to love. He had the courage to face every medical procedure without whining or complaint.
He endured the daily needles to drain fluid from his chest cavity so he could breathe,
the skin lesions & bone lesions that also come with the infection, stomach ulcers from the meds,
and eventual blindness when the fungus invaded his eyes.

Despite all of this,  he  grew to become a healthy, happy, incredible hound.
He is our symbol of hope and triumph over adversity.
  He taught us much about the will to survive against all odds and the power of love
when backed by a few good people with a mission of mercy!

On behalf of Boo, thank you for your support !

How to Enter

Update:  Please read Boo's full story & view his album. 
It is a tribute to his incredible constitution and strength of character.
He has touched so many lives and proved to us without a doubt,
that LOVE truly does conqueor everything.
It is the only element of this life that we take with us when we go.

In spite of our diligence, we lost Boo to a sudden vicious relapse
of the blastomycosis this spring (almost a year later).
This too was a lesson he was sent to teach...
that life should never be taken for granted....LOVE everybody
APPRECIATE small things and SHOW it.
LIVE today with enthusiasm, charity and kindness.
His immeasurable legacy of love has been passed on to Meagan.

"A candle that lights another candle loses nothing...
but increases the brilliance."

In honor of Boo, Meagan has a second chance. Read Meagan's Tale
