Ok, I got a response from her already....I think you'll like it.

Here it is.

Jake maybe getting adopted this coming Saturday. It is just a matter of the new person meeting him. I will let you know if it does not work out. Thank you

Oh this is good news! Thank you for trying to help this little guy Mugsy. You know I visit Petfinder a lot (don't know why, because it makes me sad :rolleyes: ) and there are scores of sweet dogs there but for some reason this cutie just jumped out at me. Maybe now that they have a couple of people interested they will at least reconsider his "urgent" status. I don't even like to think about that. This little boy has so much to give and is just asking for the chance! Please do keep us posted and thank you so much! Maybe there are even lurkers out there who live in NJ and might be interested. If so, please do take a look at Jake.

People, sometimes they just make me so mad. A pet is for Life. not just while it is a cute little babe. That's just like my sweetie, I now think that the people that brought her to me were the owners. as I didn't get the 1st call from the lost and found ad i placed. So thats ok Sweetie is a keeper. even if she has alot of senior moments. She has gotten lost in the house several times. when she gets lost she starts the funny howling. when I get to her she is shaking like she is so scared. It just makes me mad to think they didnt want her anymore. But its their loss. and mostly My Gain. :) and now my little Pearlie Mae has a buddy that is not as hyper as Riley and Gannie.

Well all fingers are crossed tightly here since today is Saturday. I do think if the potential adopter came today they would have to fall for this cutie. I just went to check his picture again on the site, and it says "Pending." Yippy!! Now there now is a beautiful Chow listed too as Urgent. It says he even kisses kitties. Oh my, this is all so sad. I applaude those who work at shelters because I know they must leave there at night with a heavy heart. I leave these sites that way. :(

Here's another response from Lorraine. Unfortunately he didn't get adopted, but he's in foster. I'll let you know if I hear anything else.

The first person who wanted him wanted something smaller. The second person would leave him along 8 hours a day and Jake is not housebroken so it would not be a good idea.

We had him at our Doggie Easter Egg Hunt and his tail never stopped wagging. He loved being out and with people. He is in a foster home now but he still needs a home.

Thanks for caring.

Poor Precious Jake. He sounds like such a sweet dog.:(

If he is in Foster care does that mean he is no longer "urgent"? That's at least something....

I emailed her and asked, but haven't heard anything yet.

I would think he is somewhat "safe" in foster care, at least for the time being. When my daughter adopted her cat he was originally in the shelter and had been moved to foster care. He had been with his foster mom for about a month when she found him, and his foster mom wasn't letting him go anywhere except to a good home. :) Hopefully Jake's foster mom will feel the same way. Thank you Mugsy for your efforts. Maybe all of the flurry of interest in Jake (yours included) caused them to re-think his Urgent status. I sure hope so.

Pam how close are you to this little guy? I was thinking if you could pull him we could arrange a transport out here. I just don't want to see the little guy live out his life somewhere that doesn't want him.

He's not far really. That is the shelter where I got my Ripley and it's about a 45 min. ride. I would wonder if some of our foster moms here at Pet Talk could shed some light of the fate of fostered dogs and cats. Do they just live out their lives with the foster parents until a forever home becomes available? Maybe Aly will see this thread and weigh in. By the way, I am surprised they said he is not housebroken, because in his little write-up at the site it said he was. Maybe his former humans were not being truthful. Gee, they really let him down all the way around. :(
