For some reason in November of 2003, we decided to volunteer to foster a St. by the name of Banjo. We saw his pic and bio on the Maryland – St. Bernard Rescue site and his story and look just hit a soft spot. We spoke with Kathi Asid, the local contact for the Rescue and voila`, we had Banjo. This boy came to us with epilepsy, never ending, not-so-great back legs and an under bite that doesn’t quit. We assumed we were in for a LONG-TIME fostering job, but to our surprise, in December we had two interested parties and we panicked. Banjo belonged here and there was no way we could let this boy go. We formally adopted him and have had nothing but laughs and joy since. When the rescue initially went to evaluate Banjo, he was chained on a concrete slab, having a seizure. Since coming into Rescue, he has not experienced any seizures, has his own warm bed, and lots, and lots of love and attention from both his humane family and his canine brothers and sisters. A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers involved in saving these saintly dogs.
