1/31/18 – We received the following call for help:
“Hello a few weeks ago I was driving my vehicle and I spotted a dog walking loose running around in a parking lot. I saw that he was with two people earlier as I was going to get food, but as I was coming back after buying my food, I noticed the dog running loose in the parking lot with no leash so I had to stop my car and get out immediately. I chased him up and down the parking lot for 25 minutes. He finally went into a Family Dollar and that was my only way that I saved him; he was scared, dirty, and cute. I had a cargo Army net in my truck and I threw it over him, picked him up and brought him home. Since then I’ve tried to find the owner; no one has come forward. I’ve searched on all different websites but nothing. I want to keep the dog because I have dogs of my own but I’m struggling right now and I have never asked for help but my father passed away last February and I’ve been dealing with his issues and it has basically brought me down to my knees. I didn’t ask for this dog but it’s almost like he found me when I needed him the most. I took him into all about animals. I ran into a nice woman named Rachel; she was really nice and I spent the last little bit of money that I had for this dog. I have to keep him he gets along with my other dog’s but I just can’t afford to get him fixed right now or his shots. I’ve rescued my other two dogs and never asked for help with them. I paid all their bills and I don’t like asking for help because I feel like too many people ask for help. I save dogs all the time– even birds; there’s not too many people that care–it’s too dam sad. No dog should be left; no animal. People should go to jail. They get a dog when they don’t have a home for it. It’s like my life stopped and finding that dog and fighting for him to live is what i needed to get myself right. I don’t know how to feel about sending this email asking for help. But my dogs come first . He is smart. I had to feed him every 2 hrs. to get him moving; he was very sick. I got him an anti-nausea shot and deworming. I only need help with his vaccinations and his neutering and maybe some food if you have it. I’ll repay it later down the road. I saved ten dogs last year. I like what you do. Be safe out their and be well. Thank you for your time.”
