I have 10 DAYS!!!

[AllAmericanPUP]

I have 10 days to find homes for Shadow and my 2 cats(blaze and rome) or my dad is going to send them to the pound

i dont know what to do, i have contacted many shelters and rescues and they either are full(duh) or just dont answer or wont help me because i dont live in their area. i have posted them everywhere i can think of.
nobody wants a big black adult dog and 2 adult cats (big surprise right)

[Roxyluvsme13]

I know this isn't exactly the best solution, but have you tried freecycle?

If you could post pictures and info on both the dog and cats, I will cross-post.

Also, there are a few members on here that live in Illinois and are associated with rescues in the area.

Shadow is a great pyrenees/black lab mix, she'll be 5 in December
She's normally about 65lbs but i guess right now she is really overweight(i dont live at home, i'm living in michigan and my brother is taking care of my animals)
She's house trained and crate trained. She can jump fences shorter than 6 feet. She's very laid back, definately no jogging partner, enjoys walks but nothing too long. She's good with other dogs and cats and good with children.

not the best pics but they're all i have on this computer




Rome is a 5 year old DSH, she's spayed and declawed in the front.
She's strictly an indoor cat, no exceptions.
she was born feral and still isnt the most affectionate cat, she's not mean or anything but she's no cuddly either. She's ok with other animals as long as they dont harass her. I dont recommend her with children, she's never hurt any of my nephews but she really doesnt like kids much.





Blaze is a 5 year old DMH and neutered.
He's pretty sweet for a cat, really loves to be in people's laps and even liked sleeping under the covers with me.
He's pretty tolerant when it comes to kids to, My 1.5 yr old nephew could pat him and tug on him and he'd just lay there, it would take alot for him to jump up and run away from this kid. He's pretty sweet with dogs too
all i have is his christmas photo


anyone interested can contact me at [email protected]
they are located in Illinois but i am located in Michigan, so i'm open to adopting them in either Michigan or Illinois

1) Why don't you Copy & Paste the REASON this is necessary from the original thread -
so folks understand the WHOLE story.

2) It's time you contacted your Friends and Relatives - to ask if they can temporarily
Foster your FurKids - till you can arrange a permanent solution.

3) Decide if you will EVER be in a position (and living arrangement) where your could
house these FurKids with you in a stable living arrangement.

Good suggestion from Phred cause I was going to ask why they have to leave where they've been living??? What's the urgency?!

[AllAmericanPUP]

1. i've posted the original story alot, if new people wanna know all they have to do is ask. it's a long story but basically i got in over my head(with help from my lovely sister) and ended up with 7 dogs and 4 cats, 1 dog and 2 cats died, 1 went to a rescue and i still have 5 dogs and 2 cats. ozzy is going to my friends house in Wisconsin and i have eli keesha and sheeba with me.
shadow, blaze and rome are living in my parents house and they want them out ASAP

2. i've asked my relatives, none of them are really dog people and half of them i wouldnt give a fish. and the ones that are dog people already have 3 or 4 dogs themselves

3. no, i travel for work now, right now i'm in michigan. in 5 months i might be in another state. and as we all know it's not easy finding a place to rent when you have animals. i have 3 dogs with me now

[AllAmericanPUP]

Don't be so harsh on her. At least she's trying to do what's best for her animals.

thank you

this has been an on growing problem with awhile but now it's really comming to an end, my dad wont budge anymore

i get people's anger though, i'm angry at myself for getting in this situation

but i dont care about how much people hate me or how low they think of me, all i care about is helping my animals because i have failed them

[jennielynn1970]

I wasn't being harsh, I asked a question. Geez. Lighten up Bri.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I wasn't referring to you, Jenn .

And with the tone and strong accent on Phred's words, I have a feeling this thread is going to turn into a fight.

Hence why I said don't be so harsh.

Good luck with finding homes for your animals. I'm glad you realize they need help and are doing what needs to be done .

[jennielynn1970]

I wish I knew someone in that state... the kitties are adorable, and the dog is just too sweet looking (look at that big old sad face ).

If you find someone in another state and need help with transport, I'd be more than happy to help drive. I'm in PA, so east coast would be my area.

Don't turn this thread into an argument.


Thank you for posting their info - they are located in Illinois - where in Illinois? I'm going to cross post them. Maybe ask a shelter/rescue in the area to list them on their petfinder page?

I am sorry that I cannot help. What a difficult situation. I wish you and your pets all the best, and success in finding great homes for them!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I can't help out at all, but I'm very sorry you have to do this. I hope everything will work out ok!
