Rescue never ends, even when we are closed 🤦🏼♀️
Last Wednesday afternoon I got a call from animal control that Eli had been picked up and they were going to attempt to bring him by the adopter’s house. We never heard anything else about it until we got an email from the adopter, she had to return him, and she didn’t live at that address anymore, and no longer had a phone or vehicle. She gave us the number of who we assume is her ex. Since we never heard an update from Animal Control we assumed he was dropped off back with someone who didn’t want him. We called and texted the number provided, even knocked on the door to no prevail. Thankfully we decided to check animal control again and they did have our boy, and with the email we were able to prove he was being given back to us and get him back.
We believe poor Eli was dumped or let loose by the ex to fend for himself. For that we feel awful, Eli’s original owners trusted us to find him the perfect home and we failed, but all that matters now is he is back safe with us.
If anyone would like to adopt or foster Eli, let us know. He’s a 6.5-7 year old Australian Shepherd, good with dogs with a proper introduction, loves all adults and older kids. He “herds” small kids so we don’t recommend a home with little ones for him. House and crate trained and has basic obedience.
