Thanks for all your hard work, delidog! You are so kind and caring. You have truly made a difference :)
Delidog,
you did a really wonderful job and please keep us posted. I'm so pleased that there is hope for Bloomer and Precious.
spencer the lion, again my deepest thanks...that is what i was trying to say about d&c.forever....you are a much better speaker...but you bring a valid point to the table...i have adopted at this facility...i did have to sign a paper saying how i would care for my deli...it stated that they reserve the right to inspect where i keep my animals...but i will say...nobody ever checked on her....i do not recall if they even asked for i.d. when i was there...i will check again today to see if they have been adopted....i do think however that if mr.mike morris allows these dogs to be euthanized ,it will be the end of his career...spencer the lion..maybe you are more savvy than i at getting info on this facility...as to the bush politics...jeb has barely been in office a year and they ran a story yesterday on how reno would win if she ran for governor today...they barely allow you to get the seat warm....also,i remember the whole checkers thing,etc...one never knows.....have you read " how to be as good as your dog thinks you are???" it was done by a former cbs reporter...good reading....thanks again the deli dog :) :) :)
o.k. guys...just got the a.m. paper...boomer and precious are off death row!!!!but they still need to be adopted...the opportunities they face are: they must go together,they cannot be in a small home with other animals,no samll children,and they must go to an air conditioned facility!!the article goes on to name people who have called to adopt...from wasington state,minn.n.y. texas,even canada...mr.mike morris(cinder and smoke...i know you have this name ready to type on your pawboard)said that they need homes soon as possible,being there without a.c. is hurting them...i left messages on machines for g.s.d. rescue organization in jacksonville yesterday....am waiting to hear back...glad to see them on the front page again!!!!!!there is still hope!!!! :) :)
I haven't been on here for awhile due to being gone and health reasons but I hope this wkend to get caught up! Just wanted to say you guys are ALL a great bunch with hearts of gold. Things always look brighter after reading the posts even when the story has a sad ending because then you see how much everyone cares for & loves the pets. :) :D ;)
Thanks to all of you who are taking the time to get involved. I wonder how many calls to the animal shelter from potential adopters were not received because no one is handling the phone. Certainly this director should at least have the managerial savy to enlists some volunteers for this kind of duty.
This could get 'barrussing :rolleyes: ~Quote:

That Mr. Mike Morris, the director of the local shelter, is NOT a relative of ours so I don't think the Gang at Phred's Ranch for Wayward Kritterz will have much "pull" with him :(.
The best lever to force a positive (for Boomer & Precious) outcome is to maintain the public interest angle of the story. Have any of the news media had a "photo op" to take pictures of the Guys? Having their pictures in the news is a great way to keep the story (and the Dogs) alive. Ole Mr. Mike will have to think at least twice before he euthanizes two Front Page Hero Dogs!! The Deli Dog can do a lot of good by keeping after the local media, both print and TV, to cover the story on a daily basis. Keep hitting on the Hero Dog :D angle!
Hopefully, somebody in Florida (with a working air conditioner) will adopt them. It won't be a fun trip for two older dogs to be sent half way across the country to find a new home ~ a local adoption will be a lot quicker and less stressful on the poor dogs.
Too bad they can't find a *friendly* front porch to wander up to like SmokeMan did ;)!
Oh my goodness, I just read this post, how could anyone think of doing such a thing to two wonderful, caring, heroic dogs. I am so grateful to Delidog and Spencer for keeping on top of this story, you are both wonderful to spend your time trying to save and find a home for Boomer and Precious. Is there anything we can do? Please keep us posted on the outcome.

Words of wisdom and despair :( ~
In the midst of the all Boomer-related hoopla, the shelter’s chief financial officer, Ginni Jordan, poses a good question.
"What about the other 300 animals here who aren’t heroes?" she asks. "If only someone wanted to adopt them all."
Quoted from "Canine hero, brother taken off ‘death row’"; August 10,2001, By Paula Holzman, staff writer at The Tribune. The link to the full article was posted by Spencer just above.
If everyone who "wants" Boomer & Precious would just take the time to drive to their local shelter or rescue - I'll bet they could find a pet to their liking with a lot less fuss! :rolleyes:
