Received this today. Connie Palmer Williams German Shepherd Rescue of Central Colorado " GSDRColorado" but, I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep...Robert Frost www.GSDRColorado.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Gloria To: GSDRColorado@xxxxxxxxxxxx ; kshort13@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 2:58 PM Subject: Rolo: GSD needs your help Hello, I am contacting you, from Arvada, Colorado. A wonderful German Shepherd dog is going to be put to sleep, unless we can furnish enough names to help put pressure on this case. The dog has been locked in a tiny metal pen...more than four months (just recently has it been allowed short outdoor periods with it's owner.) The 'shelter' it is being kept in has unspeakable conditions....lack of funding and manpower. It is a complicated case...some legal errors....a 'victim' who wants money....lots of money. After spending thousands...trying to save Rolo's life, we finally have a dog loving attorney who is working Pro Bono....but he has said this is going to be an uphill fight. He wants as much (friendly/positive) public pressure put on the court...to save this wonderful dog. His name is Rolo....he is not mine....I am just a volunteer who is determined to try to keep this much loved animal alive. Please send this out to all of the people you can. Read Rolo's story...please have people sign the petition. This goes back to court on January 11th. We need as much help as we can get. The owner is a lovely young woman who has fought for her dog....sleeping and holding signs outside of courthouses (her vigil is only interupted when she visits Rolo, or has to work...she is a nurse.) This is the petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savemyroloboy/ People can read about Rolo and see photos of him, playing with children or sharing his food with the family cat at Rolodog.com Your help would be so very appreciated. Please forward to any contacts you have...we need help from all areas. If this had been a Pom or Chi, it would not be existing in a 4X6 metal cage....awaiting death.
