Klondike


Klondike is a skinny 18-month-old, pure bred Great Pyrenees that needs our help. He is Snow's brother, the handsome Pyr you sponsored last week. In the picture, Snow is on the left and Klondike is on the right. If you remember the story, Klondike and Snow were starving strays that some farmers in Missouri were using for target practice because they were scavenging a meal  from a deer carcass.

The county sheriff got reports of gun fire and came out to investigate. He was worried, not so much about the dogs, but that a bystander might be shot, so he calmed things down and called for animal control. They brought they boys to the local kill shelter, where they had 4 days to live. On the last day, the owner hadn’t shown up, and the animal control officer called our friend Carolyn at Bear Creek Rescue and told her that the boys would be put down in the morning.

Carolyn rushed to the rescue and pulled them out that same night. They are now safe at Bear Creek.

Klondike and his brother are inseparable. Carolyn hopes to keep them together if she can find an adopter who will take both of them. Klondike, like Snow, is something of a wild thing, fearful and non-social. He is very underweight at 81 pounds - he should be well over 115 pounds. Carolyn will fatten him up and work on socializing him, and then find him a home. She needs our help to pay for vetting and boarding Klondike.

Please help us raise the $160 we need to help Carolyn save Klondike using the ChipIn.

All donations go directly from Paypal to National Great Pyrenees Rescue, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can save Klondike and many more!
