Anguillan Island Dogs
During the last week of February, Dr. Civic and his wife Sarah traveled on vacation to the island of Anguilla.
Anguilla is a tiny island located in the Northern Caribbean, with a population of 12,000, the island spans just 16 miles long and 3 miles wide. The island is known for its sandy shores, crystal blue waters, and average temperature of 82 degrees.
While vacationing, The Civics were hosted by Madeline Kelly, a dear friend and local resident. Madeline is a volunteer for the Anguillan Animal Rescue Foundation. At the time of their visit, Madeline was fostering 6 five week old puppies. After much discussion and planning, Dr. Civic decided to bring the 6 pups back to Rhode Island for vaccinations, and to find forever homes.
After an arduous journey that included a 4 hour flight from from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Boston, Massachusetts; a train ride from the airport to South Station, and finally an hour long train ride from Boston to Kingston, RI, the puppies found themselves in chilly, wintry Rhode Island.
The staff at the Newport Animal Hospital dedicated numerous hours to feeding, socialization, and house training. After 3 weeks of love and affection, Dr. Civic began to find forever homes for each of the pups.
As of March 16th, all of the puppies had found their new families. One family met Dr. Civic and his wife on the train ride from the airport, several long time clients welcomed a pup into their home, and two of the pups went to N.A.H families, 1 including Dr. Civic!!!
