My phone rang this afternoon, as it does about 100x a day, and the gentleman in the other line was DESPERATE for someone to help him save this little dog.
She was found wandering in a neighborhood that is a known dumping ground for unwanted pets. They did everything right; went door to door, reported her to the shelter, scanned her for a microchip, bought her treats and toys, took her home and loved her, BUT they simply can't keep her. There are 3 resident dogs that don't get along with other animals and she seems to be unsure of doggy friends right now too.
She's in heat, she's been living on the streets, she appears to have had puppies, and God only knows what her life was before.... do you blame her for being nervous with other dogs??
Her finder took her to the local shelter and was told that if she is dog aggressive she will be killed. They walked other dogs past her and didn't like her body language so they told him if he surrendered her and she failed the official test that was it, he could not come back for her. There was no way he could leave her, but he also CAN'T keep her. He was literally in tears over the phone when I told him I did not have a solution. She wants nothing more than to cuddle and be loved on. She's the sweetest dog he's ever met. She DESERVES a chance!!!
Here is what her finder has to say about her:
"This is Rosalina. She was a puppy mill mother abandoned after they were done with her. Despite knowing only days of abuse, she has nothing but love in her heart. She jumped into our car during a snowy day and immediately went to sleep in our lap. She's potty trained, good on leash, and wants nothing more than to cuddle someone 24/7 and love them. She likes walks and Nyla bones, but truly cuddling is her favorite activity. She's been forced to give life for all her days, please give her a chance to spend some days living life as well. She will repay you with loyalty and unconditional love."
They are willing to drive her anywhere to a safe loving home. They are also willing to sponsor her vet care and spay.
This is TIME SENSITIVE, she can't safely stay there and the shelter is not an option that he can have on his conscious. Please email [email protected] if you can help with this sweet girl.
