Please Take Him Home

[dukedogsmom]

Well, I visited Chance today. He was as happy as ever to see me. I swear, he was jumping at least a foot off the ground. I'm trying to break him of jumping because I know lots of people don't like dogs jumping. And he just loves to give kisses. He's going to a mall adoption thing tomorrow. Maybe someone will show some interest in him. I almost selfishly wish someone from PT would get him so I could see him after he's got a home. Here he is scratching an itch.

Looking up at "mama"

Watching a guy take out some garbage.

And I just love his ears. They are so floppy.

He wasn't as sad today when I left. I left the supervisor a note thanking her for letting me spend time with Chance. That it makes us both very happy.

awwww.. He's so adorable. I wish a certain PT'er could take him into their home *cough*me*cough*...

I'm glad you're able to spend time with him, and he's able to do the same with you.

I love the last picture. I need to meet him before he gets a forever home.

I’m so glad you had a “happier” visit today. Maybe tomorrow those eyes will meet with the eyes of his Mom or Dad.

Hey Valerie ~

How's his progress with the "Alpha Dog Am I" issues?

I gather the Shelter found some "suitable" traveling companions
to send with Chance to the Off-Site Adoption event?

Is she still as Optomistic about his *Chances* as she was last week?

KEEP us all POSTED ~
We'll Activate Plan B if we have to.

Wonders...
Just what *IS* Plan B... ??
But I'm sure we can generate one!

A thought...
Hey VAL ~
Any "Chance" you could drop in at the Off-Site -
to help Show Him Off???

OMG! I totally missed this post! SORRY! HOPE YOU FIND A FUREVER HOME CHANCE!!!!! Val is that Chance in your sig cause it sure looks like it!?

[dukedogsmom]

Believe me, if I didn't have to be at work, I would be right there with him. And yes, that's Chance in my sig. I made it for him.

We're keeping our paws crossed for you sweet Chance! Val, the pictures are precious! I love his expression! So intelligent and alert. But, oh, those ears! I'm glad the parting wasn't as sad this time! Sandra, Cody and Star

We are all keeping our paws (AND fingers!) crossed for you beautiful boy! You'll get a home for Christmas, don't worry! We've Got Backup! Maybe, when you go visit him you could bring him a cookie, unless the shelter won't let you. Our shelter has those power bars for dogs out for the public to give to the dogs as treats! lol they smell bad! Good Luck!

Micki, I'm sending you a pm also. I talked to SPCA today and Chance is starting to go kennel crazy so we have to get him out ASAP! He was promoted heavily on radio today so I don't know how that will turn out. Also, I need help on knowing what/how to get him to airport and buying kennel. Do I buy it there before the flight? Anyone willing to donate money, Micki and I would appreciate it. I would like to try to do it this Monday. She said he's jumping a lot and running up and down his kennel. Not good. I feel so bad for him and he deserves so much better. I thank everyone for their help.

When I had to ship Jetty to Dallas I called the airlines, asked to speak with someone in freight about shipping live animals and they were extremely helpful. Depending on where he's being flown to, you do have to watch the air temperature. I bought the large kennel from PetSmart and they had the water & food attachments right there also. The guy at the freight building at the airport was very kind to this crazy lady that was a basket case about shipping poor Jetty. I'll write more later when I get a break & will try to send even a few bucks your way. I'll try to p.m. you shortly.

I wish I was able to take him. I'd ask my parents, but I don't want to ask them without your "OK". I've always wanted to foster a dog.

[dukedogsmom]

I would love for you to have him but it would be a very difficult situation for you and your parents. He's not house trained at all, or crate trained. Micki says she or her sister will keep him and that will be the forever home he needs. Unless you're sure you can keep him forever. I really think it's too much to ask on your parents. Ha ha, that's why I couldn't keep him, too. Plus, if other dogs don't back down from a challenge, he wants to fight.

[Kfamr]

I'll talk to my parents about it when they get home. It's always worth trying instead of spending all of that money. Besides, how would he act on the plane?

[dukedogsmom]

They're in the luggage area in a kennel. So, I don't think that would be a problem. He's find when riding in kennel in truck.

Chance is in my prayers
