I Am A Nice Dog

[pitc9]

This story has been all over the local news here (Alliance is only about an hour South of me)

The part that got me was when they said the note was written by a child and signed with a smiley face.

I'm SO happy this story has such a wonderful ending!!

Thanks for mentioning just where he is located, I wondered about that.

I loved seeing the the child's letter. It shows that the pup was loved.

So thankful the story had a happy ending, can't take much more of these abandonned dog stories. I did have to reach for kleenex when I read that the note was written by a youngster, how hard it must have been to leave the pet behind. At least they did save him from the streets and he has a good home now.

Kujo has a future!
He's being picked up tomorrow (Friday) by a Youngstown, Ohio, based
"private rescue" group that called and volunteered to take him in.

I called Ms. Wanda and talked to her briefly around dinner time ...
what a WONDERFUL LADY she is! Only has SIX dogs - so that's one of the
reasons she's not hanging onto Kujo herself.

Part of her 'deal' with the Rescue is that the Kids who have been playing with
Kujo have to be present when he leaves for his foster home - so they can
give him a 'proper' g-bye and sendoff.

I'll try to find out where he's headed and keep track of him.

Phred, what great news. Thank you so much for keeping track of
Kujo & helping him in getting a great home.

We now have conflicting stories about just where Kujo might be and
where he's planning to bed down ...

Yesterday's Plan was:

Animal Charity will find home for Kujo the abandoned dog

The Review
Iams is teaming up with Animal Charity in nearby Mahoning County to help find Kujo a family.
Earlier this week, The Review shared the story of Kujo, a shepherd-boxer mix.
The dog was found outside a Washington Township residence,
huddled under a basement window, after being abandoned.
Wrapped tightly with care around his collar was a note written with a young hand,
"Hi. My name is Kujo. I am a nice dog. My owner can't feed me.
Please help me. I'm great with kids too."
It was ended with a sign of hope, an exclamation point with a smiley face and nose.
Heather Wilkins from Iams explained that the pet food company contacted Animal Charity,
which is one of its partners through its Home for the Holidays Web site.
Nicole Owen, chief executive officer of Animal Charity, explained due to the response
to Kujo's story that they stepped forward to handle the adoption,
as Good Samaritan Wanda Miller was getting overwhelmed with the inquiries.
Owen said representatives from Animal Charity will pick up Kujo this afternoon and
transport him to their Youngstown clinic, where he will receive a comprehensive
veterinary examination, shots and be neutered.
She expects it will be two weeks before Kujo may be ready for adoption.

CLEVELAND - A dog that was abandoned with a note around its neck has found a new home.
The dog that is believed to be a boxer-shepherd mix was taken in by two Alliance women --
Wanda Martin and Cecilia Miller.
The note read, "Hi, my name is Kujo. I am a nice dog. My owner can't feed me.
Please help me. I'm great with kids too."

After Kujo's story received national attention,
Kujo will stay in Ohio with Martin's neighbors.
Martin let Kujo spend the night with her neighbor
before deciding that the home would be best for him.

"Animal Charity" is playing *dumm* about the whole thing
The Phone Girl "knows nothing, and can't speak about any current
cases;
and none of the Humane Agents are in."

I'll keep *sniffin*.

It must be overwhelming to these older ladies with all this attention.
I feel bad about that. As long as Kujo gets a good home with people who
will never abandon him again. He is very lucky for bedding down in the
right backyard.
