Homer’s Story

Homer rode the PAAS Ride to Rescue bus Tuesday evening, Nov 5 th . He arrived at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock on Wednesday morning. He was in his new home by Thursday afternoon. This is his story:

Hi!!! My name is Homer. I don’t know what the fuss is all about - - I just know there’s something special about the number 5,000 and I’m the lucky one with that number.

I was homeless and afraid when a person called the Animal Control Office who picked me up and took me to the shelter. Once I got there, they made sure I had food and water and then I waited …. And I waited…. And I waited… for two months.

People would walk by and I’d hear them say, he’s just too big …. He’s too young…. He’s black (huh) what’s wrong with black fur????

Next thing I knew I was headed to the PAAS Ride-to-Rescue place in Vinita, OK. I had a really short wait until these nice guys loaded me on a big bus and off we went to Colorado.

Somewhere in the middle of the night I got to get off the bus at a dog park. Whew!!! That was great.

I’m looking forward to my new home, new parents and new adventures. Everyone says I’m super nice, kinda energetic and need a little training. I’m up for that - - - the training - - I want to be the best PAAS dog ever.
