187.0. "Two Beautiful Dogs Desperately Need New Home" by CANON::SANTOS (Fourteen pounds of fun) Fri Feb 25 1994 21:03

    
    
    
    I haven't the time to look through this whole notesfile for a similar
    topic so I'm just going to create this one.
    
    My supervisor is moving to Nevada in less than a month and she is still
    searching for homes for her two dogs.  She's put a note in CANINE, and
    has called numerous places and has not had any luck.  She doesn't want
    to leave them in a shelter that may put them to sleep but time is
    running out.  For various reasons, she can not take them with her.
    
    Here are the specifics:
    
    Queenie - Black and white spayed female.  65 pounds, 9 years old.
              Part Springer Spaniel, part beagle.  She likes to howl
              like a beagle.  She knows when something/someone strange
              is near the house and will bark to alert you.
    
    Sheba  -  Black, white and tan spayed female.  45 pounds, 8 years old.
              3/4 Labrador retriever, 1/4 collie.
              She is timid and gentle, and loves to be petted.
    
    Both dogs are strictly house dogs and don't have any street smarts.
    They will need to be walked.  They are paper trained if they need to be
    left for a long period of time.  They both love to sit on laps or curl
    up on a couch or bed.
    
    They are located in Littleton Ma.
    
    If anyone is interested, or wants more information, send me mail and
    I will pass it along to her.  She's really desperate.  These animals
    need good homes, and I'd hate to think of the alternative!
    
    If we can't find homes for them soon, it looks like these dogs are
    going to be put down (killed).  Please, I hope someone can help!

187.2"NO KILLING OF PETS AT THIS SHELTER...!"CSLALL::MWEBSTERThu Mar 03 1994 17:0515
    Hello !
    
    I know that you indicated that she does not want them to go to a
    shelter ...BUT  the NORTHEAST ANIMAL SHELTER in Salem MA does NOT
    destroy ANY pet , they are so picky about who adopts animals, that
    they find good homes for all of them.
    
     She should call them and discuss the situation , the women there
    seem a bit mean with people, but it's because they care about the
    pets and take good care of them, and they screen the potential
    families carefully.
    
    Good luck !!

    Thank you Mat but I already tried them.  They won't take the dogs
    because of their age.  They don't think they'll be able to find homes
    for them.
    
    And Mark, see your mail!  Thanks!

    I'm back.
    
    Mark, whoever you talked to didn't get in touch with me.
    
    The dogs are in a foster home and adjusting well.  We are still looking
    for a permanent home for them.  Anyone that is interested please send
    me mail and I'll get them in touch with the person who has them.
    They are now located in Sterling, MA.
