Boodah

Boodah was the first dog I fostered for CVHS. He was a tough little scared puppy of 4 months who had never been around people. Within a week, I realized his stay with me was not going to be temporary. He had already become part of our pack.


Boodah passed away about a year ago now, but in the five years we had him, he brought us more joy and wisdom than we could have ever imagined. His was not an easy life ... but despite the many hardships he indured, in the end, he was a wise soul masquerading as a big black goobery ball of love, oh...and three-time undisputed howling champion of the Stephen Huneck dog parties!


It's because of what Boodah taught me about believing in second chances, about finding hope where you thought there was none to be found, that led me back to CVHS where I had gotten him. In his memory, I rededicated myself to helping animals like him by joining the board of CVHS. My work with CVHS is a constant reminder of the joy Boodah brought into my life, and the joy all of us at CVHS can help to bring into the lives of others by offering to create new human-animal partnerships.
