In addition to his strange artifacts and creatures, the man on the hill taunted us all with his use of disappearing ink.
We found Buster chained to a tree with no access to shelter, food or fresh water.
He was in a horrible state when we got to him….sun burned and dehydrated, his large hairy arms trying to deflect some of Houston’s hot rays.
We are nursing poor Buster back to health, but the road will be long and poor Buster needs consistent care. Sponsors are desperately needed.
A donation of merely $10,000 could charter the crane needed to hold Buster’s IV, $20,000 could allow a professional sandblaster to come and trim Buster’s nails. $50,000 would pay for a team of pet groomer’s to ready him for adoption, and $100,000 could feed him for a day.
(Buster is expected to be up for adoption at the end of next month. If you think you have room in your hearts and home for Buster, please fill out an adoption application)
Thank you!
