This little cutie is in Youngstown Ohio.  They are calling her a CHI/FOX mix but I see Rattie big time.  She only has until May 21st, four days away.  Is anyone close enough to check on her?

I know Erin. It's the reason I do what I do (rescue work). It's why I will never again adopt an adorable puppy except if it comes through rescue because, well, I've seen too many dogs in throw away situations and it breaks my heart. It makes me feel to selfish to want to buy a "perfect" breeder pup when I know the sad state of affairs. Plus some of the best dogs I've ever owned have come through rescue - they love you and are SO grateful for being saved.

That being said, and please know I mean this with love and support, getting angry and ranting only gets you upset. The best thing you can do is figure out how, in your life (now or later when school is done), you can try to make a difference. We can't save them all, even all the RTs, and that makes me ill. But we can save some.

I'm hoping Val, Fred and Alice's mom, who is like an hour from there, can help out or knows someone closer but she is off line on weekends I think. Cross your fingers for this girl. If we can get her we already have a foster home lined up.

Also: Did you follow the link to Canine Crusaders? Apparently they will accept sponsorship fees and save her? And they're willing to work with our rescue organizations, but they must be "pre-approved".

From their site: "*ALL RESCUES MUST BE APPROVED BY "CANINE CRUSADERS"
RESCUES NEEDING MORE INFORMATION ABOUT PARTICULAR DOGS AT THE MAHONING COUNTY POUND PLEASE CONTACT CARRIE AT THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL ADDRESS: Kaireann429@aol.com "

Perhaps that is an avenue to pursue as well????

That is why we need people to rescue instead of going through breeders, there are so many out there that need homes. 

Gwacie,  even though we spoke, I can do transport anyday after 6 or any day this weekend except Friday.  I hope they can pull her Tuesday night, that means this would be her last day in there.

I think her E day is Wed.........., sounds like there is going to be a group able to pull her.

wouldn't that be great!!  You would be Harry Ratter LOL. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
