german shepherd/chow mix Impound No. a137284 Female 9 years Available: Wed, Apr 20 Date Photo Taken: Sat, May 7 More Photos Available her owners dumped her simply stating "we don't want her". i saw the couple drag poor cindy into the shelter. she didn't want to come in but she was obedient and followed them slowly. she was very well behaved and quiet. she made quite an impression on me as she stared at me with such sad eyes. i kept asking the couple why they were turning in such a nice, gentle dog and they simply responded "we don't want her". then they proceeded to shove her into the tiny cage in the receiving area and poor cindy looked so sad and confused. her people understood that she would most likely be killed--they did not care. they did not say good bye. they did not pat her on the head. nothing. i can only imagine the hard life this dog has had and yet she has remained unbelievably sweet. every time i am at the shelter, cindy comes slowly, tentatively up to the front of the cage. she gives me such a look--as if begging me to get her out of this scary place. i pet her muzzle and she stares straight nto my eyes, trying to determine if i will be kind to her. she is extremely soulful and sensitive. quiet, loving, gentle and sweet. she is listed as 9 years old and she may well be but her eyes are clear and she doesn't really show any signs of old age that i can see. this dear, gentle dog would be so happy to have a home and people to love who would love her back. she would be an easy dog to love, if only somebody will give her a chance. everybody wants puppies, small dogs, purebreds and cindy is none of those things. she is just a dog who will be loyal and loving forever. please, please give this girl a chance. don't let her die a shelter death, alone and unloved. please email yep6cats@aol.com if you can help cindy in any way.	dsh orange tabby Impound No. a716953 Kennel No. isolation Male Available: Thu, May 5 Date Photo Taken: Sat, May 7 rescued and saved from certain death! thank you kitten rescue and anne b.!! this big lovable boy was so sad in isolation. he is all scraped up and breathing with an open mouth. still, he was the sweetest cat ever! he has the loudest, most calming purr and he purrs almost constantly. he is ALL LOVE and there he sat, waiting to be euthanized. thankfully anne b., a dedicated kitten rescue foster home with a HUGE heart, agreed to foster this boy. he went to the vet today, 5/7, and it appears that he was hit by a car but we are not sure yet. i am waiting to hear the results of his xrays and will post when i have more ifo. most rescuers will not save an older cat because they are so hard to find homes for. but anne and i believe in the MAJOR charm that this cat has and really believe that somebody will want to love and cherish him when he is ready for adoption. actually, we think he is so charming that people will be fighting over him. :) if you would like to make a donation to encourage kitten rescue to continue saving sweet older cats like him, please visit www.kittenrescue.org to find out how to donate. btw-we named this kitty CRAB CAKE. please make a donation to kitten rescue to help pay CRAB CAKE'S vet bills.
