xBOOSTx Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I'm a 2 years old male around 45lbs. I'm good around kids and other dogs. I'm fixed and have all my shots. I'm at the Vermillion County Animal Shelter The story behind this is this... my friend took this dog from his neighbor who was moving and couldn't take the dog with him. He had the dog fixed and had all his shots up to date. He had the dog for a bit but then got a new job working about 50-60hrs per week. He had no time to give to the dog. He found this lady that said she wanted him. He told her that if she decided she didn't want him to let him know so he could find the dog a new home. Well yesterday he got a call from the animal shelter saying they found the dog stranded on the streets. Scotty was still wearing the dog collar and id that my friend had bought him. Well he can not take this dog back. We are trying to find someone to adopt him. He was great with kids and around other dogs. He was very loving and immediatly took to his new owner. The previous owner just kept the dog out in the backyard and scotty was dieing for attention/love. If you or someone you know is interested in him, he can be adopted for $75 or if you pick him up earlier, my friend can get him out for a little cheaper. He said he is willing to try to help with this in anyway he can. He just can't take him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xBOOSTx Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 The animal shelter will only hold the dog for 7 days and if no one adopts then they put them down. Please pass this around to any of your friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) Too bad. If he's still around for 6-8 months I think I can take him cause I'm getting my own place when I turn 20 this year. (Or I might wait till next year I haven't decided yet.) Right now I can't cause I live in an apartment with the owners downstairs and the hood I live in is rough, especially for a good dog like that. EDIT: Just read your last post on 7 days. Edited April 2, 2006 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 How could you pass up on a dog that not only registered on Soxtalk, but can type full and complete sentences?! Seriously though, cute dog. Too bad I live all the way out here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xBOOSTx Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks for the list of the no kill shelters. Only problem with those are that they require a donation and monthly payments for the car of the dog. I talked to someone else about these and they said that they new of a couple that did not ask for monthly payments, but they were not taking any more dogs at this time. They were already full.

I agree. My dog has been saved twice, once when it was about to be put down. I love my dog and we're so lucky to have it, and shes lucky to have us. I couldn't imagine not having her around. She's part of the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDavisFutureHOF Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Ufortunately I don't think my Boxer would allow it but I would be willing to contribute something to send him to a no kill shelter if you can't find a home for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
