Katie Needs a Home

lizbud - that is sooo sweet of you to offer. I am just sitting and waiting to hear back. The problem is the time frame. I have to work tomorrow and then I leave on Sunday. I'll let everyone know what happens.

Wish me luck!!!

Heard back from the Lancaster Shelter volunteer. Although they will not hold her for me - they feel pretty confident that she will still be available when I return from California. She is in no danger of being PTS thank god - so when I return I will call and see if she is still unadopted. If she is still there - I will make an appointment to go see her and hopefully it will all work out. If she has been adopted - then I will go to the Buffalo Animal Shelter and see what they have.

Either way - I am going to be a playmate for myself and Leo!!!

Clara4457,

Thanks for the update on Katie.

It is a big relief to know
she will not be pts.

Not to be too nosey but, how long will
you be in Cali.? Hope all goes well for you. Liz & Smokey.

Thanks - I'll be in California 2 weeks on business - I come back May 8th. I'm going to have my friend who volunteers at the shelter keep an eye out for her. Thanks again for everyone's support!!!

That is just wonderful. Kind of strange to be saying this, but I hope that Katie doesn't get adopted. It seems like you and she were meant for each other.

Thanks - I think so to. My Leo was also a very shy dog when I got him - so I am very experienced with building confidence with dogs and the dynamics of adopting a shy dog. My household is a very quiet one (just myself and my 26yr old son - who is very conservative) and tends to be ideal for dogs that need special handling. I'm going to keep in touch with Cheryl at the Lancaster Shelter - and I'll let everyone know what happens.

Again - thanks for everyones good thoughts and support!!

Clara4457,

Just wanted to post a pic of my Smokey to compare with
Katie's. It's not the best to compare, so I'll look around for
another, but I hope you can see a similarity. Liz.
