Boxhead and Emmy Lou are my featured adoptable pets this time for No Tail Left Behind! These two could definitely use a lot of love. Earlier this year, their owner, Terry Barber of Murfreesboro, was tragically taken unexpectedly, and now Operation Education is in search of a new loving home for them.
Boxhead is a 7 year old 86 pound neutered Labrador Retriever mix. He was raised on a farm in Christiana, TN and loves having the room to roam free. Although he likes to play in the mud, you still better make room for him on the couch or in the bed because he is a snuggler. He can however be sensitive about his ears so don’t rub them too hard. He does well with other dogs, especially his sister Emmy Lou, and he is unsure about cats. Boxhead is in overall good health, up to date on vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea and tick prevention.Emmy Lou is a 4 year old 65 pound spayed Blue Tick Coonhound. She was raised on a farm and loves to be outdoors. Like her brother, Boxhead, she also enjoys indoor time but prefers to sleep under the bed as opposed tonoj it. Being a hound, she definitely has a deep bark and like to alert everyone of visitors or strangers. Her favorite treat is a big ritz cracker with peanut butter. She is somewhat unsure of other dogs and takes a while to warm up to them. Emmy Lou is in overall good health, current on vaccines and heartworm, flea and tick prevention.
Operation Education is made up of some of the most dedicated animal lovers I know, and the rescue runs entirely on donations. All proceeds benefit the care for animals like Boxhead and Emmy Lou. A donation, no matter how small, will go a long way! For info on the rescue groups they help out and to donate, visit OpEdAnimalRescue.com or click HERE!
It’s pretty heartwarming to know that approximately 3.2 million pets in animal shelters are adopted each year. But unfortunately, nearly 1.5 million animals are euthanized, according to ASPCA, and the biggest reason for this is because of the abundance of animals and lack of available space to keep them any longer, or their “time’s up.” But because of local animal shelters like Operation Education based out of Murfreesboro, we’re teaming up to raise awareness of animals in the area looking for forever homes.
