I would take silver in if he were here...he is EXACTLY the kind of dog I foster/adopt. Old dogs often dont have a chance. People are worried they will die on them. "They are living on borrowed time." WHen you adopt any animal, there is no guarantee they will live for any amount of time. I have had puppies pass away. And yet, my elderly dogs, live a good 7, 8,and 9 years longer with me.

looking around....where is Cody???

Are you all ready for some good news? I talked to the adoption coordinator for his shelter, and she's agreed to cancel his euthinasia date! She's going to try to find a temporary foster home for him until he can be transferred. I'm going to try and raise the money to have him transferred to Maine, and if so I hope to adopt him. But honestly, if anyone else finds a more immediate solution, go for it! She says he's a sweet guy, and deserves another chance. She's even going to waive the adoption fee!

Can I get an AMEN????

I'll post as this progresses and let you all know how it's going.

Thanks so much for the support!

Sue...I am trying to find the woman who has helped me transport dogs across the nation...and I have participated in some of her transports as well. And its free. I am out looking for her now...

and..if they are coming this way, I will check and see what other dogs are in that shelter and see if we cant find other homes along the way and get them over here too....

this is all done on a volunteer basis, so if you want to help, I will post the course of the transport and you can sign up for a leg of it. Its usually less than a 2 hour drive tho we have had people drive 10 hours to help a dog get to his forever home...

think about it and I will gt back to you..

oh...and look at dogs from that shelter..its so much better when we can transport 2, max 3 dogs instead of just one...

Az to Maine...

When I got home this evening I had a voice mail message from the director of the shelter housing Silver. She explained that given his health problems and age they have decided that the kindest course of action would be to follow through and euthanize him. I can only assume that they're acting in Silver's best interests.

I'll continue to look for another animal that needs a good home and is a good match for my family. I hope those of you who are able will continue to do whatever you are able to help animals who are in need.

Thanks to all who posted here and especially to those who tried to help Silver.

in my arms I will hold him, as I sleep the night away, under the moon we will cherish, the last few moments on earth....
