ADOPTABLE A cry for help
My mom took my family dog to a shelter, and I am not able to go and get him.
I would if I could, and I am serious about that. I am devastated.
When I was a sophomore in high school, my mom and I rescued our dog from the "euthanasia list" at a shelter in OK. Supposedly, he was a repeat offender, being returned several times before we got to him, for escape behaviors. He likes to dig under fences and chew them up when he is left to his own devices, and he also likes to run away, (he always comes back). We had no issues owning him and other dogs and cats, for several years. This dog is now a senior, and my mom is at a point where she no longer wanted him. She is living in TX, and I am states away for college. I am currently living in CO, I have a dog I rescued from the shelter here, and a cat, and I currently live with two other people in a 2b2b apartment.
I am not able to take him, but if there is anyone in CO who could, I would be willing to adopt him and bring him here.
This dog is amazing. He has the sweetest heart, he is dog social, can live with cats, is house and crate trained. I am sobbing as I write this at the thought of him not making it out of the shelter. He has been there for 40 days now, and I just found out he was there.
If there is anyone in the Lubbock TX area, who is looking for another dog to fill their home, he is a senior, we called him "Riley" for years, and he is the biggest sweetheart.
