Texas, Carrollton, how many can we get out before Tuesday??

Gail has forwarded the following information on the Carrollton, Texas, animals. You may see them and the Blackwood, New Jersey, animals, at: http://web.me.com/tendogs/Two_Minutes_to_Midnight/Blackwood_%28Camden_County%29.html

Please circulate this latest group from Carrollton’s shelter (near Dallas).   Joe is a great guy who makes every effort to try and get as many of the unfortunate souls who wind up here placed as possible.  Several are owner-turn ins –  poor White Socks, a pretty little dog, was left behind by her owners who took their other dog and just dumped her.

Sweet Angel is a 7 yr old PB Bassett Hound, extremely sweet, likes other dogs, cats, and kids, and so gentle she was all ready to nurse a young kitten.

Among others included below are Lucky and Princess, who were brought in together by a family who had them a whole two weeks, then decided they didn’t want them(!!), both have been altered, UTD on vacs, ready to go!

Due to the holiday we are sending out a day early.  Thank you all for your support!

Name: Henrietta

File Number:20006

Breed: Pit Bull

Age: Senior

Gender: Female

Size: Medium in height but very over weight

Arrived as: Stray

Available to: RESCUE ONLY

Bios:

This is the sad reality for to many pit-bulls in this world. This senior, lady was found as a stray it is quite obvious she has had many, many litters of pups and from the scars on her face, ears and body she has either been fighting or used as a bait dog. The scars from the heavy chain she wore can still be seen, the damage done to her teeth, and the home-done ear crop is evident as well. Although she has been mis-treated by people probably her whole life she still looks forward to seeing people everyday, she likes to go for long walks, and will protect you from dump tucks with a powerful bark as they drive by.  Once you pet her, and become her friend she will not leave your side. We have not had her housed with other dogs, but we have let her approach other dogs while on a leash and while she is curious there is not signs of aggression or ill-will towards the other dogs.

Just look into her eyes, and you can see the harm people have done to her, yet she is still willing to forgive and hope someone will finally give her the love she so deserves.
