Please Take Him Home

[dukedogsmom]

Logan, I left a voice mail Monday afternoon and sent them a long email yesterday morning. I have heard nothing. Are they even still operating? Unless someone can come up with a miracle, or he has nine lives, I've run out of options. There's a point to when you have to let go and my nerves are a wreck. I'm about sick today because of this. Pat says there has been no interest in him. I haven't contacted saveadog yet because I was trying to wait to hear from allpets. Since they haven't contacted me, I'll send the same email to them.

Yes, they are still in operation. Did you look at the number of dogs they have listed currently at their website? It may be that they are too loaded to take on another, but maybe they will have an idea. I hope you will hear back from them. But I wouldn't stop there, go ahead and contact any other resources you have at this point. Don't wait!!

Just talked with Pat at the Shelter ~

Chance is doing OK

His general health and "attitude" are good -
NO "kennel crazy" problems are showing!

Although he tries his best to greet Visitors at his cage front -
Tail A-Waging, and with his best "Take Me Home, Please" face on;
Pat says their "clientele" just don't favor "Hound-type" dogs...
She said Hounds are VERY common in the area, and many folks come
in with a very specific breed in mind. But the Staff IS allowed
to "suggest" folks take a look at Chance if they have no preference.
So far he just hasn't "clicked" with anyone.

She did say that she had a phone inquiry for someone who has him
posted on a Florida web site (she didn't know site's name).
The caller wanted to know if he was still "available", and
was going to report to the person asking that he was still there.
So Far - no one has called the Shelter directly or come in asking
for him...

Pat bring groups of School Students into the shelter on tours -
Chance has been shown to two Tours and she also Tells His Tail...
Many of the Kids and Parents don't even notice the scars on his back;
but none of them have come back and asked to
take him for a spin outside.

Let's all Keep Searching for a Pet Talk Home for Chance!

Hang in there Chance - Keep It WAGGIN!!

Keep your paws crossed! A guy from detention talked to me about Chance just about an hour ago. I'm going to email pics to him tonight and he's going to call Pat and talk to her. He's got 2 small kids and no other animals. He also knows Chance's full history so he knows what to expect. Please pray this is the thing we've been waiting for.

by many folks you haven't even met yet. Wishing you the

This was so perfectly said. My thoughts exactly. And I too feel that there just has to be someone out there that wants this beautiful boy. I think about Chance everyday and pray that he will find people he can trust in and live forever with. Please count me in with a contribution for support needed in transporting him or buying a crate or what ever.
Hang in there Chance. I know your "right Person for you" is coming!!!! My boys send their prayers and love to you.

Thank you, John, for the update!!!!!

[sabies]

Congratulations Chance!!!!!!

[dukedogsmom]

Uh, I didn't even know! Well, I'm so happy for him! I have been almost sick over worrying about him. Yesterday, I couldn't even dispatch, had to work the phones. I'm wondering if it was my coworker? Maybe he'll email me. KayAnn, can you make a happy sig?

[dukedogsmom]

Ok, it's either the guy at work or a woman from Clearwater. Either way, I'll find a way to get pics for an update here. I'm so happy for him. My Christmas will be a much happier one. I think it's the woman from Clearwater because my rescue contact sent me an email saying he was going home and she's the one that gave me the Clearwater contact. I just wish Pat would have called me after all I've been through.

Great news about Chance!

Val - try not to be upset Pat didn't call you. Things happen and I'm sure it either slipped her mind or she got too busy.
