Friends of mine rescued a wonderful dog last week, which they suspect was probably abandoned (i.e dumped) as he is very friendly, very sweet, and is housebroken.
Unfortunately, these friends are already squeezed by slow business in bad economy (they have a very small company), a kid going to college, and another dog with health issues. The local senior adoption center has no room for him. They do not want to turn him over to the shelter because they consider older dogs with some health issues as "non-adoptable" and will euthanize them.
You can read the details at
her LJ along with the cutest photos of said pup.
If you know someone who would be willing to take in a senior dog with health issues, or if you can help monetarily, please take a gander over at her LJ.
He looks like the sweetest thing *ever*.
