Gilbert, AZ - Dog Rescue being shut down, needs to adopt out 35 dogs

[BentleyNiko]

I can pull this post if not appropo, but I posted in on a Dog Community site and got the suggestion to post here. I got this e-mail at work and tried to find a follow-up but haven't yet.

Do you know of anyone who is even remotely thinking of adopting a new friend?

The dog rescue, K-9 Friends - got shut down yesterday...the City of Gilbert rezoned, after annexing the kennel's county property, and won't let the neighborhood grandfather in. So there are no breeding, boarding or rescue kennels or shelters within the city limits in a residential area... although the property was originally purchased on that county island expressly for the rescue. So we now have to place 30 - 35 dogs within 90 days! Who doesn't get adopted, the pound is going to take and destroy - loving hearts and humane solution, huh????

We need your help -if you can possibly help... Do you know of anyone who is even remotely thinking of adopting a new friend? We want to save these dogs lives and not let the City of Gilbert force them to be put down. We have great dane mixes down to little chihuahua and pom mixes... some bigger playful dogs, and several lap dogs who are perfect older person companions. They all come from varying stages of training and behavior patterns.

How sad... Hopefully the dogs get adopted. They are adorable and look so sweet and loving and great. They deserve a second chance at life.

And the cat, too!
