‼️Long post alert, but important info, please read‼️
Wanted to give everyone a few updates/reminders. We have received an overwhelming amount of calls/emails in regards to Maggie, understandably. She is amazing! We wanted to first remind everyone that we do not foster or adopt directly out of our facility. We work with rescue partners who take our dogs in their rescue as they are able to. They handle everything from that point on including fostering, adopting, vet care, cat/dog testing the dog, etc. We at Troy animal control and DPW are not dog health or behavioral experts. We do not do any dog on dog testing, dog on cat testing, or dog on kid testing. We leave that to our rescues who are trained in these things.
While we know we have the BEST community and GREATLY appreciate all of your willingness to step up and help our pups in need, we cannot answer many questions that we often get. Such as, can I adopt him/her, are they good with kids, do they get along with other dogs, etc. These dogs come from all different backgrounds and many times they are not good backgrounds or we just don’t know. Any answer we would give, would just be a guess and that is, of course not wise to be guessing at those things. It is also very difficult to judge a dogs behavior while in a kennel. Again, we leave it up to the trained professionals to answer those questions. If we do ever post one of our dogs “looking for a foster”, just know that the info we post has already been given from one of these rescues/professionals. We care about our dogs deeply and enough to know what we don’t know!
We love you all and are beyond thankful for all your shares, kind words, donations, awareness, etc that you bring to our pups. We want you all to continue helping in the ways you do. It takes our whole community to stop cruelty and help our dogs. We just want to make sure we are clear about exactly what we do here.
That all being said, we will update you on Maggie since, at this point she is “everyone’s dog”. Maggie went off to a rescue today (many tears (literally) were shed amongst everyone here who got to know and love her, but we know she needs a real home) This rescue has a prospective foster to adopt home that they plan to place her in this weekend, if all goes well. Trust us, Maggie will live a wonderful, luxurious life! We will share updates from her future home.
To all of you who have reached out about Maggie, please know we have other dogs in need of your love and a home. The best way you can help is to inquire with our rescue partners on how to be a foster. Peaches, who has been highlighted this week, is still looking for her perfect home. We can help guide you through that process! Thank you, all again from the bottom of our hearts! We cannot do it without up!
