This handsome young guy is named Clarence. He is in a shelter in East Tennessee (where I come from originally). You can tell from the picture that there are very caring people there that try to find places for the dogs to go. Unfortunately, even nice shelters run out of room and then they have no choice but to create room.
I spotted Clarence earlier in the week on Petfinder and asked the Mary Lou at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta if they could stretch their rules a little and take him even though he is not in Georgia. Mary Lou said yes, but can the Doomed Dogs help with a sponsorship to pay for transport and some medical?
Well, I told her we could and they arranged to pull him from the shelter!
The shelter says that Clarence is about 4 years old and very sweet. He was found as a stray without a collar or microchip and his owner has not claimed him, poor guy.
A note on GPRA - this group was started in January 2010. I first contacted them early in the year and found that they are very well organized and try hard to help all the Pyrs they can. Doomed Dogs has sponsored several dogs with them, and before we started Doomed Dogs, I sponsored several other dogs with them. Clarence is the 99th Pyrenees that they have saved in just 12 months! Amazing!
I think they are wonderful to work with. They will get Clarence checked out at the vets, pay for all medical costs, put him in a loving foster home and eventually find him a permanent home.
Please help them save Clarence.
We need $125 in donations - it won't pay all the costs to save him, but it will help a lot.
Please make a tax-deductible donation of $5-$25 in Clarence's name to GPRA at their website athttp://www.greatpyratlanta.com/
Donations can be made by check, Paypal or credit card.
