Please Take Him Home

[dukedogsmom]

Today was the day to take Chance to the SPCA. It was much harder than I thought it would be. I was at doggy day care and was doing fine until I saw one of the employees crying because he was having to go. Then I started too. He was so happy to see me. Came running up to me.
I feel like I've betrayed him. I cried most of the way to the SPCA. Here he is when we first got there. He threw up all his breakfast and I couldn't get him to smile.

I was sitting in the grass with him and got this one. He was listening to all the dogs bark.

I bought him that collar. Didn't want him to arrive without one. He got a little better when inside. Wagging his tail to all the employees. I was doing fine until I had to upload his pics. Now, tears are coming again. Please pray someone gives him a good home and doesn't have to be put down. If he does, I'm going to ask them if I can be there for him. It's the least I could do.

Oh {{hugs}} Val.
I wish I could help, but I can't. Chance is such a handsome boy, and he will be in my prayers.

[Samantha Puppy]

I'm sure Chance will be snapped up in a heartbeat. I will pray that that happens... Please keep us posted.

I wish I could help.

Valerie if Chance doesn't find a home don't you let him be put down. If they get to the point that they have to put him to sleep, you pull him and I'll pay for you to ship him to me. I'm serious. I just can let that happen to him. I'll find some way to deal with Millie and her fears. I know my sister would foster him, heck she would probably fall head over heals for him.

I got teary-eyed just reading your post and looking at the pictures . Truly my heart goes out to you and Chance. This story just must have a happy ending for the baby.

That's so sweet Micki. Chance will be in my prayers that he finds a good home soon.

[Miss Meow]

I hope he finds a good home soon. He deserves to have a life of happiness

If not, it looks like a PT Angel from Texas can help. Bless you!

Valerie, there's no way we're going to let Chance be PTS!!! Not after all he's been through; and all of your hard work to save him.. PLEASE, make sure they don't do anything without giving you plenty of warning! You know I will help you, Val. We have a great rescue group here, www.saveadog.com They rehome almost exclusively, mutts. They work closely with my rescue group NEARR and I think I could get him into their program. The dogs are fostered and brought each weekend to "Meet the Dogs" events. I couldn't bear looking at his sad face. I'm crying too

[Rio and Me]

After all he's been through, he's a Chance worth taking.
Looking at him there, I doubt he'l be left there long (we hope), if it comes for him to be put down you should foster him and find him his forever home, he deserves it!!
Best of luck from Ky and Rio

Let's make some SERIOUS Backup Plans, Folks...

First:
Where IS Chance - NAME ?? of the SPCA where he is ??
And do they have a Web Site and/or E-mail?

Next:
Will monetary DONATIONS to the SPCA *buy* him
any additional time?

And...
How much TIME does he have - before they will put him down??
We'd like to know if it's only a few days, or several weeks??
Remember this is Thanksgiving week - Shelter might count days in
a strange way with the Holiday.

Then:
How much (and HOW) will they Advertise that Chance is available for Adoption?

We should consider WHO could pull him from the SPCA and get
him started off towards a Rescue.
And - HOW MUCH ($$) will it cost to either Bail Him Out or Adopt him?

VAL ~
We'll ALL Help - but please find out the details we need
to stay ahead of any problems!

Hey Chance ~
Keep *smilin* Bud - we'll find you a home somehow!

Gosh Val, I wish I could take him, I really do. (since Im trying to get my parents to let me have a dog) But we are too far.. He is too beautiful, and with that look on his face he will find a forever home!

[CamCamPup33]

Valerie,

I always believed Chance was a special angel. He has the most
beautiful spirit. Please print off Cinder & Smoke's list of questions and let us all know o.k? We won't abandon you or
give up on Chance. I will help in any way I can. That's a promise.
Tell the folks in charge at the SPCA that you have a backup of
a lot of friends who don't want to see him pts & are more than
willing to help. Liz.

Micki - you are a SAINT!

Val,

Get as many answers as you can. You KNOW everyone will help you!! (and beautiful boy Chance too!)

[dukedogsmom]

Thanks so much for all your help! You've made me feel a lot better. Tomorrow, I'll call the director and ask her the questions posted. Then, I'll email those of you helping with the info about where he is and their email address. I don't want to put it on here. I feel so much better thanks to you all. I've been terribly sad today but you've made me have hope again.
