It appears that yet another life has been spared today thanks to Melissa Cooper's tenacity. The shelter has 170 dogs...confusion reigns! Evidently there was a mixup in numbers on the dogs and Greta was NOT reclaimed or adopted...So with the help of Vivienne James from Critter Calvary, Melissa will be getting this dog out today and fostering her while Viv lists her on their petfinder site. She will help find foster care if the time lingers on...Again, these are ALL BREED rescues that have been stepping up and offering assistance. It has proved invaluable! I had a worrisome night awaiting to hear about Bear...he was due to go to the Elizabethtown Veterinary Clinic yesterday for a bath and vet care. The ACO at the facility where he was assured me that he would "load him up and drop him off" at close of business yesterday. Well, evidently the "creek DID rise", and Ted did not get Bear in on time. I received this news too late in the day to contact anyone else for transport. Needless to say...no sleep for me! Kept seeing his sad eyes staring thru the chain link; his poor ears are all red from flies. I can just imagine how uncomfortable he is! Anyway, I started calling the ACO and the Vet Clinic at 8:30 this morning...Shelter closed...No Bear at the clinic. I contacted both of the people who had emailed me regarding him and finally heard back from Krista. Evidently, Bear has a nice clean outside run awaiting him...the clinic doesn't need to be open. The Veterinarian lives on the premises, and will check on him. Guess at least he will be safe and the bath will have to wait until Tuesday. Thank you all for your generous donations to our cause! Because of you, these lives were spared! Have a safe and peaceful weekend!!!! Dawn Restuccia Last Hope, Safe Haven for GSD's...
