Abilene


Have you ever seen such a sad sight?  She is waiting for her family to come back and get her.  This beautiful Great Pyr was someone’s faithful pet – and that person dumped her off at a kill shelter to be disposed of. 

Could you please chip in $5 for poor Abilene?

She is a very depressed, lonely girl in a kill shelter in Texas, just waiting to see her family again.  Since they dumped her off to be killed, there is no hope of that happening.  Dogs that are surrendered by their owners have no protection in state law against being immediately put to death.  To make matters worse, big, grown-up dogs like her are not very adoptable, so crowded shelters do not hold them for long.  The situation was very grim for her. 

Our webbot found a listing for Abilene on Petfinder a couple of days ago.  Our hearts went out to this sad girl and we decided to do whatever we could to save her.  We asked our friends at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston to take her and they agreed!  GPRS will pull her from the shelter, get her vetted and put her in a foster home while they look for a good permanent home for her.

Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering her until a permanent home can be found.

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

If you are interested in adopting, please contact GPRS athttp://www.gprescuesociety.org/
