o Buddy, a 2 year old Cocker Spaniel may go to The Rescue League of R. I. due to his history of bites. He was

handling ears. Jeff will make the call when he returns.
o Bumpy, Pit Bull /Boxer mix, has many adoption candidates but all of the candidates have issues.
o Daisy Mae, Basset Hound, has several excellent applications so she will be adopted its just a matter of
deciding to whom.
o Trixie was adopted.
o Windhover Veterinary Center has donated many weeks of therapy for the German Shepherd with hip
dysphasia.
o Of the two cats with "attitude problems" Ashley was adopted but Diamond is still not handle able. Jeff will
make the call on her disposition. It was discussed as to whether she would be better off being euthanized or
sent to a barn. Someone will talk to Peter Detrillio about him taking her for his barn.
