UPDATE - Wednesday
I received this followup email from Mr. Flagler, head of animal control concerning this Yorkie:
----------------------------------------
Mr. Williams,
I see that you are listed as a potential adopter for this dog. The dog
is in pretty bad shape, but we have every hope that she'll be prepped
for adoption. Please stay in contact with us during the process. Let me
know if you need any additional assistance.
----------------------------------------
Needless to say I have emailed back and called by phone ( left a message ) essentially saying I am ready to adopt this animal as soon as possible and take it to my vet for all necessary medical care. Maybe they can classify it as a special medical situation and release the dog before the 7 days are up.
This email was both sad and uplifting: sad because it confirms the animal has significant health issues, and uplifting because animal control and Mr. Flagler do care and they know I want to adopt this dog with the health issues.
You thoughts and prayers for this animal will be appreciated... |
