My friend is rescuing a standard poodle ADDED PICTURE!

[caseysmom]

A friend of mine had to put her 15 year old dog to sleep about 3 or 4 months ago. She didn't want to adopt until after a 3 week vacation.

Well yesterday I had to go renew bubba's license so I drug her with me.

She fell in love with a 3 year old standard male poodle. He does look mixed with something but pretty close to pure bred his snout doesn't look totally poodly to me.

She went back last night and got herself as first on the waiting list, he is microchipped so if the owner gets contacted and come forwarded of course she won't get to get him.

I fell in love with a brindle pit bull that seriously was crying to me, I started crying...I hate going there its a high kill shelter.

Well, sounds like this poodle is going to get a home, either way! Either the owner picks him up (and in fairness, the dog "could" just have got away, it does happen), or he is going to be iwth your friend. Good!

Where are the photos? Is he on petfinder someplace?

Since he is not up for adoption yet he is not on petfinder yet, he has been there since dec 30th so his owners could be on vacation or something, they will hold him until January 7th.

I didn't read his paperwork to see if he was dropped off or picked up as a stray, he does have a chip though. We are going back today to take him out and walk him.

If you get a picture of the Brindle pittie that stole your heart, we could crosspost it and try to get him a home. I would just need the name of the shelter, phone, address and his case # if they assign them. I have lots of contacts in CA through dogster

[caseysmom]

I will do that...I am going back today, did not want to look at him but I will force myself. If it wasn't for me having a female with issues already he would be on my couch right now.

I hear ya! I will make him my personal mission

Wow thank you so much, he was one of those dogs that I really felt a connection to.

[caseysmom]

They wouldn't let us walk the poodle since he is not available for adoption yet. We took him some blankets and I snuck three blankets in the kennel with the pitbull I fell in love with.

MoonandBeam I sent you a PM.

Mr. Brindle Pitt (as I have fondly been calling him) already has some interested parties. I'm going to call the shelter and see if he is still there in a few days

Thank you so much moonandbean...I am going with my friend this morning, she is the first on the list for "chokka" (long story its a nickname for me at work so that is what she is naming him since he is sort of chocolate). We have to be there by ten, I am sneaking Mr. Brindle Pitt many milk bones, his roommate bronson will get some too, he is a sweetie also, very mellow.

I am taking my crate for her to borrow and try out some dog food, although I think she has bought some trader joe's dog food already. She went and had a thing made for his collar with his name and phone number already, is that cute or what. I just got an email that she got to work early since she is so excited, we work together. I will go meet her at work and we will go get him.

Thanks again, Shelley

That's great! I'm so happy for Chokka! Be sure to get some pics of him in his new home so we can all get our dose of happy rescue work for the day

[caseysmom]

Chokka is home! He was so good in the car! He sat next to me in the backseat and behaved like a total gentleman.

My Mr. Brindle Pit seems more desperate for a home One of the workers said he is her favorite too.
