That black boy!!! He's gorgeous! Border collie mixed with what, I wonder? He's beautiful. I wish I could take him.

 

[Betttie]

Not sure what the mix is. You look like you have a full house. Your pets are beautiful. If you can think of anywhere to post these doggies, please do.

Bettie, I went ahead and forwarded him to someone I know in rescue. Maybe she will be able to help...

And yes, it is a full house over here, alright. Wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm going to call tomorrow morning and ask the shelter to put a hold on him. I sent some emails, and I think some folks in the wolfdog rescue are willing to help!

 

[Betttie]

There are so many of them in need but there are a lot of people in this country who can help. Thanks for forwarding the pic. Maybe this one will get lucky. You never know.

We have a hold on 297-09, and are looking out for a foster or permanent home for him... I also have a friend from the Animal Shelter Society in Zanesville going over there to take a look at him this afternoon.

Fingers crossed!

 

[Betttie]

Terrific. Please post what happens.

 

[nekomi]

I have several people working on finding a foster home for him. I DO have a foster who is willing to take him on as long as he is workable with cats. I know it's a long shot, but I've been surprised before... I'm trying to arrange to have him tested tomorrow at a neighboring shelter.

I'll update tomorrow...

 

[nekomi]

The black one is safe, he was NOT euthanized this morning. The shelter honored the hold I put on him. He is being tested with cats today, and if he is workable, will be released to the foster home tomorrow. If not, I'll be trying to head down there tomorrow to take better photographs, and we're trying to arrange to get him formally evaluated as well. We also have a rescuer who is willing to pay for half of the pull fee, and offer free training for the dog and his adopter.

As usual, fingers crossed. I'm trying to stay optimistic, things seem hopeful for this one.

GREAT NEWS! He has a foster, and will be picked up tomorrow afternoon and delivered to his new home. This one is safe. Hooray!

I just read your last post again. Thank YOU!!!! for caring enough to save his life. One more update please as to how he is doing in foster.

 

[nekomi]

Don't worry Bettie - as long as he is here at my place, you'll be hearing tons of updates about him. I post a LOT of pictures and stories here to DF!

 

[Betttie]

I'm loving the pictures.
