This happened a few days ago, thought I'd share this story here too!
Here's the story:
The girl who I got Wilson from had fostered this boy awhile back. She adopted him out to a family about a month ago, they were very nice, seemed like a great home.
So, she went on vacation about 3wks. ago to FL. Got a call pretty much the first day she was there that he was at animal control. Apparently the couple that adopted him decided they didn't want him anymore and just.. let him go. Thankfully, his microchip was still registered to her! So for the past few weeks, she's been trying to figure out how to get him back.
Apparently this particular AC is like.. a Pit Bull concentration camp. They will only adopt them out to homes with NO other animals, no kids, must have a fence, all that stuff. My friend had two different people try to go "adopt" him and they were denied because they already had other dogs. She herself has 3 dogs at home.. so they wouldn't even adopt him out to her, even though he is registered to her and she wasn't the one who caused him to get there!
She got a call on Monday that he had until Wednesday to get out, or he would be PTS. After hearing this, I called my friend at another shelter and had her call AC to say she'd pull him. I went and picked him up that afternoon. What a day! Such a screwed up situation too.. the fact that AC was going to PTS a dog that they KNEW had a home (my friend has been in pretty much constant communication with them trying to get them to release him to her friends) waiting for him just blows my mind. They even mentioned to me that he had a microchip registered to someone.. yeah, the person who has been calling you pleading for you not to kill her dog? Ugh!
So this is Cobia (yes, he has Demodex, poor guy)..
(he's not THAT black, editing made him look darker than he really is)
My friend got back from FL on Tuesday and picked him up then.. what a reunion. He was so excited! He's now looking for his *forever* home (since he was never intended on being my friends dog forever), see thread here: http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1905039
