Bosley's Place - The Beginning

A little background...

On September 5th, 2014 I was at Fulton County Animal Services completing a volunteer form in their front office and a young gentlemen came into the room with this tiny, adorable, 1.2lb furball of life. He said that the puppy was a 3 week old pitbull they had just named Bosley. He was found in the trash somewhere in Grant Park only hours before and unfortunately was basically on death row unless they found a foster family as they are not able to accept or care for underage puppies.

While they were feverishly hitting the phones trying to find him a foster home late on a Friday afternoon. I asked to hold the little guy for a minute and he was just kisses and cuddles. As I sat there watching their failed attempts I turned to the staff member and asked, “How does one become a foster parent?” He said “You just did!", as he handed me a form to complete, and moments later, Bosley’s crate and bottle of formula. And that’s where our journey began...I was still full of ignorance, peaceful, loving, puppy cuddling ignorance.

The idea of being a foster of course is to give the little guy a chance and get him ready for adoption before he can find his forever home. This requires feedings every 2-3 hours, training, patience, supportive friends, puppy formula, teething rings, baby bottles, blankets, heaters, lots of wee-wee pads, wet and dry dog food, beds, toys, TONS of love and so much more.

This whole experience has changed my life. I have always been a fan of animals, but was living in the business world. So, after 25 years in business, I finally understand what "I want to do with the rest of my life". What I really was meant to do is to start Bosley's Place... As I mentioned earlier, Bosley's Place, is a nursery for homeless and orphaned neonatal and underage puppies. We provide all that's needed while in our care, along with adoptions services, foster placement (after 8 weeks of age), training and community animal welfare education.
