Guys, this wonderful dog in need of a rescue is my grandfather's...PLEASE HELP!!!
About a year ago, grandpa was placed in an assisted-living type environment. He is not allowed pets. His youngest child (my mom's sister) -we'll call her "E"- took his cat (Midnight) and his dog (Bowser).
Long story short (I'm not sure of all the details yet), we received a call yesterday from E's landlady; E moved on months ago but left Midnight and Bowser.
THEY ARE STARVING TO DEATH!
The landlady will be calling the dogpound today to pick up Bowser; we're still not too sure what will happen to Midnight as the pound does not accept cats.
Here's the scoop:
Bowser is a (neutered) brown husky/shepherd mix (he has the "big-dog" build but short legs - think basset hound). He's an older guy; at least 10 years. We're not sure of his health but we know he was getting arthritic.
I have a few of his puppy pictures, I can post once I find them.
My mind's racing and I'm not sure what else to type...
Location:
Jumbo, WV (Webster County)
As of this morning, I assume he'll be at the animal shelter there. I have yet to find a phone number/address for them.
I'll post more info as I get it.
I feel locating/springing him is only half the battle. Even if there was a way to get him down here (NM), I'm not in a position to take him. If someone can bail him out and either give or find him a good home, I can help with the adoption fee.
I'd appreciate *any* information on him - even if it's bad news.
Feel free to crosspost.
PLEASE help me save a childhood friend!!
(Will be cross-posting to the cat side at lunch time -I'm late for work- if anyone's interested in Midnight.)
