***SAFE 03/25/16***SWEET AND SPECIAL SPECKLE NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Speckle is an eight year old beloved housepet who just lost his owner and instead of being taken in by a friend or family member of his former purrson, he was dumped at the kill happy shelter. He is naturally scared and confused by the sudden change of events and having his world turned upside down. He is purrfectly healthy and as a former housecat, he knows how to behave himself. He just needs some time to decompress and learn how to trust people again. He doesn’t deserve to lose his precious life. Can you be the kind purrson to help write a happy ending to sweet Speckle’s sad “tail” by offering to foster or adopt? Please contact a NH rescue if you can be Speckle’s hero. Email our help desk and we will lead you through the easy peasy process–[email protected] Transportation is available. Make the call for Speckle. Save a life. Make a difference.
