Is that a pyr? We've been getting tons of those in at our shelter. Volunteering is wonderful, isn't it? I go every Saturday, and even though it's heart-wrenching, it's worth it all when that special animal you have fallen in love with gets adopted.
Yes. He was a humane case. People had him out on a chain his entire life and when reported for his conditions, the owners just planned on killing him instead of surrending him. Somehow though, we were able to get him into our care. Despite his lack of training and socialization, he is the SWEETEST most mellow wonderful guy. He makes a greaaat pillow.
I work on Mon and Tues feeding and caring for animals, but also volunteer extra time both days to train, temperament test, and take pics and vids. I go every Sunday, and try to make it up on Saturdays as well. And of course, work whenever they give me hours. (Yay! I got 6.5 hrs today!!!)
I wouldn't trade it for the world. I absolutely love it. Heartbreaking. I fought so hard to not bawl when playing with Bosley and wished so badly I could save him.. but we're having a hard enough time getting the pits out of the shelter. No rescues are available.. they are all full in the area. And we just don't have the space or money right now to treat him. And as awful as it sounds, I so wished it would have been the other dog that came in today. You always hope the sweetest ones aren't HW pos, but it seems that it almost the case.
