The Rescue of Popeye

Popeye was scheduled to be given up by his owner and placed in NEBTR foster care. His foster mom Carolyn called to arrange for his transfer, and was told that he had run away that very morning.

Of great concern was the fact that a huge snowstorm was predicted for the area, making it almost certain that a partially blind, older pup like Popeye would have practically no chance for survival.

A few of the great NEBTR members, such as Missy, went to the area and spent the evening looking for him in the cold with flashlights. NEBTR members called everyone they could think of, and outside rescue experts offered their assistance.

The snow came, and hope was dying. Then, the next day, he was discovered at a shelter in Briarcliff, NY. NEBTR transporters immediately went to work to transport him and bring him to Carolyn, his foster mom.

What a celebration! Above you can see a picture of the little guy, and there is also an album of his photos below. Thanks to everyone who was involved in his rescue, and to everyone who worried and prayed for Popeye!!
