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!

This very sweet, gentle lady was released to the shelter by her people who developed an allergy to her and could no longer keep her. She reportedly gets along well with other dogs, cats and children of all ages. She is 7 years old and is such a mothering dog that when a new kitten was brought into the house she began caring for it to the point she started to lactate (develop milk).

Both these sweet dogs were released to the shelter by a family who only had them for 2 weeks. They had taken them from a friend and now have decided they do not want dogs. So both are here now and hoping to be adopted into loving homes. They both are quiet , gentle dogs who not only get along well with each other, but with other dogs too.

It is always sad to see such young pups here at the shelter hoping that someone will come in and adopt them. Chuck here is no exception. Chuck was found running stray, and is about 3 months old or so.

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.
