Posted: Fri May 14, 2010 12:14 pm
Please... this sweetheart is a staff favorite, but is overdue and they can hold no longer...
Downey CA (just south of LA) to Indianapolis, Chicago or Champaign IL, or even Purdue Un airport...will drive anywhere to get him picked up... I am desperate to save him...
Large Mix Breed Lab/Shep type...
Very gentle and is a staff favorite...
First a quick background.... about a couple times a month I send a package of my handmade bandanas, dog treats and dog toys & blankets to the Downey Shelter in CA, via my friend Colleen who hand delivers them and takes pics etc.
This last go round I sent new squeaky toys... well.. one big boy (I call Him Titus) Colleen said really touched her because he heard the squeak and went totally into a happy dance and jumping and playing and would not let go of the toy... Well, she sent told me the story and I bawled (like I am now) about thinking this baby being in a shelter yet knowing the joy of a squeaky toy.. blah blah... THEN she told me he is overdue for being euthanized because the staff loves him, such a sweetheart. Well, they told her yesterday that they are going to have to kill a whole big bunch of them as they are now waaaaay over capacity. So he will have to be one... And I am DESPERATE to save him, but being to darn faraway I am helpless. She can pull and all that, but being clear across the country is a lot to try and get covered for transport. So I guess I am hoping you have a contact name from when Daisy was flown by them.
I knew I wanted him the moment I heard my friends voicemail about how he perked up at the sound of the toy... and how he won't let it go. And the only thing I knew about him was he was "this big burly guy" as she described him! (Colleen is used to working the small dogs... chi's etc etc!! LOL)
PLease... if anyone can help me...
