Her brown eyes stared out at me from her photo on Petfinder, wide with uncertainty. Eyes who will haunt my dreams for a long time to come.
Her story was sad. Life at the end of a three foot chain tied to a tree. Very little food or water, wallowing in her own feces, covered with ticks and fleas. One of three dogs removed from an animal cruelty case, and up for adoption.
At the Hartford dog pound dogs get 10 days before they can be euthanized. The pound will hold them longer if there is someone willing to take them. They post them on Petfinder with their legal date for adoption. Hers said, “NOW, URGENT.”
I shared her on facebook and asked people to share her.
Today she was gone.
I don’t know, Leslie pointed out that maybe it’s a good thing, maybe she made it out and I pray to God that she did, but my heart is heavy right now and my tears are falling fast and hot down my cheeks.
Poor sweet baby, just needed a chance.
There’s one more at the Hartford pound, his legal day is tomorrow. (Which means if he isn’t adopted out, he can be euthanized.)
The adoption fee is $50 for residents and $5 for non-residents. I will help you find transport, if you aren’t in CT.
Here is what Petfinder has to say about this guy:
“It doesn’t get goofier then him. Super sweet and super friendly. Affectionate. Playful and very animated. Great with dogs he met..big and small, Loves to be close and thinks he should be a lap dog. Great on leash and great when you drop the leash. Eager to please and very smart!!”
Contact information to adopt this guy can be found here.
Who knows, maybe she got the chance she deserved, and maybe she didn’t. One thing’s for sure, we can do all we can to help this guy get his chance. Will you please share his picture and story on your social media outlets?
We may not be able to save them all, but we can save one at a time!
