Pet of the Week: Rasamba

Howdy, my name is Rasamba. I'm a typical American mixed breed puppy of seven months old who just wants to play and be everyone's friend.

I am so lucky to be at Maxfund No Kill Animal Shelter. I was wandering around by myself for what must have been a long time because when they found me I was very skinny, dehydrated and weak. After a few weeks at the hospital I am all better and have my energy back. While I was there, they discovered I have diabetes. That means I will need to get twice daily insulin injections throughout my life so that my blood sugar stays regulated. But I don't mind getting them! They don't hurt a bit and I'm used to it. The kind folks at Maxfund can show you how to do it; they say it's real easy.

I am also available for foster care, where all my medical expenses and care can be provided by Maxfund. Won't you please give me a home to live in, even as a foster parent? We would both be very happy I can guarantee it!
