URGENT-seeking rescue group to take Chow-Kissimmee Florida
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 6:55 am
A good friend of mine got a neighbor of hers to give up custody of their Chow. The Chow (who is male and about 2-3 years old, purebred) was being abused, not fed regularly and being left outside rain/cold or whatever. My friend is located in Kissimmee and is looking for a Chow Rescue Group who can take this very sweet little boy and give him all the TLC he deserves. Or if any general rescue organization out there is familiar with chows and can take one more in - that would be great as well.
He has a skin condition of some sort, but it's not mange. Mostly due to lack of nutrition and laying outside for so long. He is heartworm positive, but it's treatable and my friend has already purchased the meds and is administering them. She doesn't have the funds to support this dog for much longer but wants to make sure he gets a great home. He is good with other dogs and children. When he fills out with his hair he's going to be a beauty. I think with some time,love, and minor medical treatment he'll end up being a fantastic pet for anyone. Please help me help this doggie in any way you can.
And no, I'm not looking for just anyone to take this dog from my friend. It's important that a group familiar with Chow's take on it's care and tend to the specific needs of the breed. I cannot take the dog myself as I'm only in a rental home and cannot have another pet - or I would. He looks like the cutest bear ever and will be absolutely beautiful when he's back to full health. Please contact me and I'll coordinate the rest. My friend, a single mom, is very overwhelmed right now with caring for an elder mom, her child and a household and just needs a helping hand right now.
Two ways to reach me - leftonez@yahoo.com (will be answered at night time) or linda.m.schneider@ustrust.com (will be answered during daytime Mon-Frid). I cannot access my work email at home, or my home at work - ergo the two options. Thanks, in advance and God Bless.
