Is there ANYONE who could go to Spalding County shelter in Griffin and pull a dog out for us? Heather can pick her up after work today...she has taken 2 half days off from work already to help us out...she is an all breed rescue! She went yesterday to get this dog and they refused to release her without CASH for her board...wouldnt take a Rescue business check or a CC...The other shelter was closing, and Heather had to dash to pick up Marco or he would have been crossed over. Now, when I called them today, they said they had someone who would help. Turns out its a boarding kennel in the area who wants 100$ JUST TO PICK THE DOG UP and take it to his shelter...sounds like a scam to me...This cost on top of the pull fee/board they are making us pay is going to push this ONE PULL to close to 200$....As you all know, we are juggling MANY dogs this weekend...Pat Robinson and her husband got three out of an Alabama shelter just yesterday...all three are SWEETIES...young and totally adoptable! Damien is a darling black neutered boy..probably under 2 who just wants to play.Thank you guys!!!! Without your quick action, they would probably not be here today. I got Bear out of Elizabethtown NC kill facility this morning...he had been "the husbands" dog left tied to a tree...husband left, wife on oxygen...THROWING food out to this poor animal whose ears are literally half gone due to flies...he is emaciated and has lost the light in his eyes...he is UNDER THREE! This dog will require an experienced GSD home; not because of aggression (ACO said no problems there...getting a temp test done on Tues), but because he has been brutally treated and will need patience and understanding. We hve placed him in an Elizabethtown vet facility where he will be tended to, vaccinated, HW tested and BATHED (he is FILTHY).... PLEASE PLEASE... Anyone who can help us in Griffin Ga area...we are desperate to save sweet Rachel! I have been told by Heather that the boarding kennel director almost caused and entire Brightstar transport to come to a screeching halt, causing the deaths of multiple GSD's! We are on limited time...decisions have to be made by noon today. If she were sick and needed veterinary care, there would be no issue with spending this kind of money. I HATE to have to hand someone 100$ that could go to saving the life of another dog!!!! Anyone who can help us, call me at 617 538 4393...time is crucial!!!
