Antoinette one of our former Yonkers shelter dogs waited well over 2 years for a home of her own. A couple of years ago she finally she found it a wonderful devoted dad 2 human brothers 4 canine siblings and couple feline siblings too. Antoinettes family has endured more than We can imagine truly can’t even make this up. Believe me I ve verified it all because seem to unbelievable. Antoinette dad lost his job and after months found a new one but of course he is paid less. Next The boys mother was tragically killed in a car accident upstate last year Followed by their dad requiring 2 heart surgeries and now walking the dogs he stepped into a pothole and broke his leg Antoinette found another job after the last one fired him because a fancy board member of building complained he was feeding and encouraging feral cats. Undaunted he found another working for Stanley steamer but while doing some yard work he literally cut his finger in half using an cement grinder. Again unable to fulfill his job duties at work Raising 2 sons on his own And minimal insurance coverage the Antoinette dad is struggling to keep food on the table for all pay bills and keep everything together
He is a wonderful dad and an amazing pet owner putting everyone ahead of himself. Imagine a single dad. Caring for his boys and animals without any respite. But never complains. Antoinette and her furry siblings are dogs nobody else wanted because they aren’t easy if given to a shelter they won’t stand a chance They are actually difficult at times and many would have just given up on them but he won’t . Friends have told him to move start again find cheaper apartment. His response simply “ I can’t I have dogs no one but me loves or wants What would become of them.? . We are hoping to help this family and raise enough funds to cover their bills and expenses so they can keep roof over there head Please help if you can. We never know when life will throw us a curve.or in their case a sink hole.
Sometimes we all need a little from our friends.
