Your gift will help pets like Bubbly Buttertart, whose personality is as unique and quirky as his name. All Fur One Pet Rescue & Adoptions in New Jersey received a Petfinder Foundation grant to reduce adoption fees, and applied it to pets who had been waiting more than six months for forever homes. That included Bubbly, a 4-year-old, 71-lb. Lab mix who arrived at the rescue in November 2022. "After being placed in and quickly returned by two different foster homes, he remained in a kennel in our facility until a third foster home took him on Feb. 22, 2023," treasurer Cori Kindred says. "Bubbly instantly became a rock star at this home. He was 'trained' by his 9-year-old human sibling. They had an amazing bond. Bubbly was a gentle giant with his sister." "Bubbly is also somewhat of a kleptomaniac and likes to remove loaves of bread from the kitchen and hide them around the house," Kindred says. "His favorite hiding spot is between couch cushions. He never eats the bread, nor does he tear the plastic packaging." In July, Bubbly went into a foster-to-adopt home, but was returned after two days. Although the family had been shown many videos of Bubbly's bread-scapades, they were not amused when he hid a loaf in a plant. Bubbly went back to his foster family, who adored him and truly wanted to adopt him. But they were in the process of moving and their budget was tight. When All Fur One told them Bubbly's adoption fee was waived thanks to our grant, they adopted him immediately. "The fosters, now adopters, were thrilled to make Bubbly a permanent member of the family," Kindred says. The Petfinder Foundation helps Bubbly and thousands of other pets find homes that appreciate them just as they are.
