I tried contacting a friend of my husband's and his wife who live about 1 hr. from Chicago, real animal lovers, but have not been able to contact them as yet. Aly, you would be a lifesaver if you could act as a go between until a permanent home is found. If someone in the area can GET HER OUT, I would be happy to pay for her airfare to Texas. Hang in there Maddie, we WILL get you out. Pet Talkers to the rescue.
