Harbor shelter dogs on danger list: A plea from one of their volunteers
HARBOR
SHELTER OVERCROWDED - DOGS ALREADY EUTHED TODAY - CAN YOU HELP SAVE THE
OTHERS, PLEASE?
Today was a tough one at
the shelter. I know we can't save them all, but while walking dogs and
doing adoptions, I missed Bambi taking her final walk. If I had known what
was going on today, I would have snatched her up and found some way to get her
rescued or adopted. I'd only known her four short weeks, but she had gone
from a fearful dog to a loving and affectionate girl, who loved to relax on the
grass with you and give you pitbull kisses! She was so beautiful and
sweet, I just assumed she would make it out alive, that someone would adopt or
rescue her! The only thing that makes losing her any easier is that thanks
to the shelter volunteers, this wonderful dog enjoyed her last weeks of
life, was happy and loved and she responded in kind.
Sadly, it's too late
for Bambi, but can anyone step up to help the other dogs in danger on this list,
please? They are at Harbor Shelter, 957 North Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA
90731 - telephone 310-548-2632.

BAMBI - ID#A1221591
In loving memory of beautiful Bambi who arrived at
the shelter frightened and nervous and turned out to be such a
sweetheart, who loved all of the people who tried to help her.
Euthed today. Rest in peace, little girl! My name is Bambi and I am a spayed female, fawn and white Pit Bull Terrier. The shelter thinks I am about 1 year and 1 month old. I weigh approximately 60 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Jun 11, 2011. |

COWGIRL - ID#A1223469 - URGENT - GENTLE
GIRL!
My name is Cowgirl and I am an unaltered female, black and white Pit Bull Terrier The shelter thinks I am about 7 months old. I weigh approximately 42 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Jun 18, 2011. This gentle, low energy sweetheart came
into the shelter with grotesquely swollen front legs. All due to
foxtails, which had entered her paws and migrated up her leg! She's
been treated and the foxtail removed and she's almost in tip-top shape
now! I wasn't allowed to walk her far today, so we sat in the
volunteer room and ate biscuits instead! Her mouth is so
gentle, she could hardly crunch up her biscuits!!! The second
biscuit she gently put on the floor in front of her, then she lay down on
my foot and rolled over for belly rubs!!! She's really a special,
mellow little girl, who has been through so much already -- could someone
please rescue her???? She loves people and dogs and due to the fact
that she has been in the clinic since she arrived at the shelter, the
public will never see her, so she will not get adopted.
RESCUE is her only hope! Please help save Cowgirl!!! She really is a special little
personality.
