GSD in shelter, again

[mugsy]

We just got off the phone with the shelter and I'm supposed to go down on Saturday and fill out paperwork and take Sox and Tigger with me to meet with him. Sadly, he doesn't even have a name yet. If all goes well then Chris (the girl at the shelter) will call our Animal Care and Control and check up on us and then possibly call the vet. We'll keep you posted. Sue...quit posting pictures!! lol

What a beautiful dog. It's sad that the people who were supposed to adopt him didn't even pick him up Poor guy

Mugsy, I am sorry that I am compelled to post these pics!! I really only post the very special ones that really affect me!! I should have known that this poor sweetheart would pull on your heartstrings!! I promise I will only post dogs from other countries from now on. LOL I sure do hope that you save this one. I would be sooooo happy!! What a wonderful life he would have with you and Mike and all your other lucky rescues! I've got my fingers crossed!!

My gosh, I think this dog is beautiful. I can't imagine not keeping it. I know it is a big doggie, but it looks so darn intelligent. I hope you get this pup, Mugsy and Mike.....keep us posted.

This could be the highlight of MY week! LOL!

Oh oh some more good news in the air

[mugsy]

Ok, Sue, you owe me!!! lol I guess I'm driving to Bloomington tomorrow to fill out paper work and let Sox and Tigger meet him and if everything goes well with them, they will make the necessary calls and we'll go BACK down next week and pick him up. We talked to Chris at the shelter last night quite extensively and she seemed pretty excited about me coming down because she really likes this guy. We asked her if he got along with other dogs and she said that the other day he CLIMBED THE KENNEL WALL TO GET TO ANOTHER DOG!!! She said he has separation anxiety pretty bad. SHEESH!!! Get this...the adoption fee is a whopping $20!! He is current on all shots and obviously has been neutered.

Yes, I owe you BIG TIME!!!! I'm so excited!! I do hope that all goes well. Separation anxiety???????? NEVER AT YOUR HOUSE!!!! There will be a house full of furry friends to play with! Good luck!! Please keep me posted!

$20!!! That is a deal for such a beauty!!! So many of the shelters here charge $80!! Hope all goes well in Bloomington! Keep us posted!

[mugsy]

Our Animal Care and Control is $85 with a $45 spay/neuter certificate, first vet visit free, microchipped, and a $5 gift certicate to Petsmart. Our SPCA is $65 with the dog spayed or neutered already, microchipped, and a pet pack.

Ok, GSD update, Mike called Bloomington today and talked to Chris again and NO he is NOT going to a rescue because there are so many people interested in him already. I'm going to go visit Daisy tomorrow morning at 8 and then go pick up one of my students and she's going to ride with me (if her dad OK's it) so I have company, and we're going to Indy to pick up Liz and she's going to ride with us to meet him and then probably get to Bloomington around 1:30 or 2 and do what we gotta do!! lol Chris also said that she didn't think that he had lost any weight, but he really isn't doing well in the shelter environment.

We'll keep you updated!! Sure you don't want to come down to Fort Wayne and go with me tomorrow Sue?? lol

[mugsy]

OOPs mugsy spoke too soon...Liz has to work, so she can't go with me this weekend, but if we get him she'll probably go next weekend to pick him up.

[Sudilar]

I am soooooo happy!! I will have to update Laureen, the crossposter (she wants to know what's going on, too!) I guess Melody was going to take him into rescue, but now that is certainly unnecessary!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

Next week we have a TLC shelter walk-a-thon and a university graduation to attend. It would have been great fun to go pick up "the dog" (he needs a name)! Good luck and please keep me posted so I can let Laureen and the other BB know. BTW, they are also very happy for you.

Molly,

I'm so sorry that I can't go with tomorrow. I'd be in big
trouble if I did not do my 'on call' duty this weekend. I
want to see this GSD for myself. He looks & sounds so
good. Hope Tigger & Sox like him !!! I'm free anytime
after next Monday (5/27). Drive carefully & let us know
your impressions after you've had a chance to meet &
intro Tigger and Sox. O.K.? Talk to you later. Liz.

[mugsy]

I guess that Chris wanted me down there at 10:30am, that would have meant that I left at no later than 6:30 and I need to see Daisy, so it will have to be later. There is already one app on him that doesn't look good and about 5 other people supposed to come in and fill out apps today, so there wouldn't have been a reason for Melody to have to take him...he's a popular guy!!! I probably won't get there until around 1pm and I'll have to hope someone doesn't snatch him up first.

You're right Sue, he needs a name. Any suggestions?? I like Shiloh or Stonewall (can you tell I'm a Civil War buff? lol) and I like Mike's suggestion of Gus and Brett (he likes Farve of the Packers) I also like Sawyer (the radio was on and said that Sawyer Brown was going to be somewhere around here).

I'll let you know as soon as I get back!!

[Sudilar]

I do love the name SHILOH!! (OK, so I'm a little prejudiced in favor of that name!)

I hope Daisy is recovering quickly. Good luck today, I'll be thinking about you with all fingers and paws crossed. Let us know as soon as possible!
