Woo

I have been deployed to Iraq, and my wife is having a hard time handling our 15 dogs. She can’t give them the attention they deserve, and is looking for good homes for several of them. The home must be a loving, caring home. We were able to handle the situation when there were two of of us to give them the attention they deserve, but my wife works full time and she isn’t able to handle it alone.

We’re in North Georgia.
Kelsey, who more readily responds to WOOO, is around 5 years old, and is most likely a miniature pinscher mix. As you may be able to see, she needs to lose some weight! She weighs around 45lbs and should weigh around 35lbs. If she were in a home where she could be walked on a semi-regular basis, the weight would come right off! Woo is very sweet and loving, housebroken, spayed, and just wanting to cuddle, love you, and go for walks. She gets along with other dogs, and I believe she would do well with children, but probably not ear-pulling toddlers. Cats would be OK after introduction. Woo got along with our bird who was not caged just fine once it was explained to her that she was not allowed to touch the bird.

Be responsible and take them to a Humane Society. The only people who answer “free to good home” ads are laboratories.

Humane societies kill animals that can’t be placed. My wife will screen anyone who responds very carefully. She would NEVER let any of these animals go to anything but a family that loves and respects dogs.

Donnah, I went to your website, so I know you mean well. Please do not assume that we are “irresponsible” because I have had to make a most difficult decision about finding some of our dogs new homes. I have been actively involved in dog rescue for the past 4 years. I know how to be responsible, and in this situation, living alone, the responsible, loving thing to do is to find some of them new homes with people that can give them the attention they deserve. I can’t do it by myself, and my dogs are suffering because I am only one person. As Trevor said, I would NEVER let them go to “just anyone.”

Sorry to hear you’re having to find new homes for your dogs. I know how rough it is to have to give up a pet…
Stay safe in Iraq. You will be in my prayers.

Wish i could help with at least one of the dogs.
But alas.. my present home will not allow me to have pets at this time.
I think its fantastic that you folks take in dogs like that.

Sent you an email Barb. Wooo might be a possible match for me. Let me know what you think from my email.

Toni,
I just emailed you, and Woo was the one I thought for you before I read this post!

I wish I lived close to GA, but I live in KS. I’d be more than happy to be a foster mom to one of your pets until Trevor came home.

that brought this to my attention. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to take one of these cute pups on myself at this time but this is the least I can do. Click on the picture to learn more about the dog from Trevor himself… [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Aren’t they cute?!?!

Supporting the troops doesn’t always mean giving something to them; it can also mean taking something for yourself. Trevor and his wife are still looking for good homes for a few of the wonderful dogs they’ve rescued. See the posts of Sept 26th for info about these beautiful pups.
