:smile:THANK YOU to all those that help out with Rescues!
Got a call from someone who was given a dog from the pound. I may have a couple of the details wrong but someone called to complain about someone who was keeping a dog tied up. I guess animal comtrol got involved & picked up the dog & he ended up at the pound. After a few days the dog was not claimed & he was due to be euthanised. On his last day someone-a thoughtful dog person-picked him up & took him to someone else who took him to someone else (a groomer). This guy cleaned him up & had a vet check him out then he got on the internet & on the phone to get some help. He called us & through our dog club we arranged to get the dog & we are now fostering him here at our house for a few days. It took a few days but we had a volunteer drive about 7 hours round trip to get him.
This guy turned out to be a male Irish Setter maybe 10 years old (but he acts much younger). When we got him he was already cleaned up & trimmed & vetted. He seems to fit right in with the others here, he has that unmistakable unique Irish Setter personality & look in his eyes. Whatever your favorite breed is you'll know what I mean, there's just something about them.
I think the eyes say "I love you". But this guy is already older & we don't know anything about him-he's already constantly telling us-explaining to us about himself-he's great! He's already sleeping in the bedroom along with the others!
The thing is-this is what it takes-it takes US!
PEOPLE LIKE US-THOUGHTFUL DOG PEOPLE!
Get on the internet & on the phone & find the help you need to save a dog! There are dog clubs like ours (or individuals) that have the resources to get you the help to save a dog under most conditions. You'll probably have to take the first couple of steps yourself to save the dog but you can get help. And there is always something someone can do to help. We can volunteer with transportation/vet/fostering and finding a good home, whatever it takes. The help is out there.
There's someone out there who wants & needs to love a great dog!
Just think about the dog-look into his eyes & think about him-then do it!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
