DO NOT call and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the dog. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the dog’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the dog. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how dogs fall through the cracks and end up being killed.

Handsome boy, and not overlarge either-- such a kind expression, too. Bump!

I know people at this shelter, so can get him released easier, as this shelter can be hard to deal with. If anyone can take him and shelter gives them a hard time, email me, please, immediately!

Very good looking any updates hope he is safe!

Latest update I have is that his cage card said "Adopted" yesterday but he was still there.

He's marked as "Safe" now by the group that posted him.

Today's update: He was not adopted. Shepherd's Hope (Jeannie O.) and Waggin' Train are pulling him in a joint effort. Shepherd's Hope is beyond maxed out, but he's sick and needs to get to a vet.

I hope Jeannie can work her magic and this gorgeous boy gets the proper medical treatment. Please keep us posted if you hear anything else.
