Update on two abused dogs!!
Remember this post from a few days ago? I guess posting stuff here really works! But that's why I love doing it. I emailed the url to some friends. They in turn forwarded it and so on and so on. While both dogs were already taken out of the bad situation they were in about two weeks ago, a splendid friendship developed because of it.
Connie J. Mackie of Dream Dogs Training Company saw the email and immediately contacted Linda wanting to help. Here is her initial email:
Hi Linda,
I received the distressing email about the two abused dogs and would like to offer some foster-permanent care. I am a dog trainer in Pasadena and will not sleep tonight after reading of their sorrows. Where are the dogs located-what city? My proposal, let's move them into my vet's office for boarding, it's not a perfect solution but it's better than what they've got right now. I will have them examined, bathed, Blood tests done, shots updated and spayed. I can evaluate them and see what types of temperament and personality they have and what type of family they would fit into. Then we could start the job of "let's find them a permanent home". I would love to see them removed from this idiot's care tomorrow. If my vet has the space available I would like to move them tomorrow.
It's people like this that I would love to ban from ever owning another animal in their lifetime.
Have you had any offers of help or new home?
Your thoughts?
Please contact me.
Most sincerely,
~Connie
Here is Linda's response:
Hi Connie!
Great to hear from you. I have good news. I also could not sleep after seeing the situation these dogs were in so the day after I sent out the email you read, the next morning actually, I went over there and got the two dogs. I've had them at my house for about two weeks now. I was able to get both of them to a vet who agreed to check them for free. The min pin got a clean bill of health. I was able to find a great home for the min pin.Through the Sam Simon foundation I was able to spay her and two days later she moved into her new home. I heard she is doing great!
I still have the little chihuahua here. I'll forward you the email I sent out last night on her progress. She still needs a home (although I must admit with every passing day it's going to be harder and harder to let her go, she's sooo precious), but whoever takes her needs to really be on top of her medical care. She's very delicate.
Thank you for your concern and offer to help. I sleep better knowing there are people like you out there.
Linda
So even though the dogs' wonderful fate had nothing to do with the post, it caused two animal lovers to become friends through this thing we call the internet and email. :) As soon as I find out more about the Chihuahua's progress, you'll read it right here! Stay tuned...
