Normally when I participate in Tuesday’s Tails blog hop, I feature a senior black lab. Here’s the thing about the senior black labs in CT. The ones I’ve found are already in foster care. They’ve already been given their second shot at life. There are some dogs in CT though, that are living on borrowed time.
Literally.
The city of Hartford gives a dog taken into the pound ten days to get adopted. Ten days and then they are euthanized. It makes me cry just thinking about it.
So when this little lady came across my facebook page, I knew I’d have to feature her.
Here is the sadder part. She has no name. It breaks my heart that her time is so limited that they can’t be bothered to give her a name.
Here’s what her petfinder page says:
Approx. 8yrs old….approx. 65lbs
This dog has just an incredible personality
She is super sweet
Very friendly
Great with dogs she met
Very affectionate…would love to be a lap dog
She is great on leash
This poor dog has had a rough life…her teeth are worn down like she has spent her life chewing on rocks…she is blind but gets along great..adapts well and quickly to her environment and she MAY BE pregnant. She needs a person or family to love her and give her the life she so deserves!
Her legal day of adoption is Thursday, July 18th, which just happens to be my youngest daughter’s birthday. What a wonderful gift to my daughter if this dog could find her forever home.
Yes it’s true, my daughter does not read this blog and yes, it’s true she doesn’t know about this dog, but that doesn’t matter. I know. And I will tell her. And because I told her and I’m her mother she will be overjoyed that we worked so hard to save this dog on her behalf. And she will celebrate her birthday knowing a life was saved in her honor. It will be the best birthday present she ever had.
Trust me.
Typically I don’t ask my readers to share posts. I like to say I’m a modest kind of writer and believe if I’m producing a good quality product and it touches you in some way, you will automatically share without being told.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe people don’t share my posts. That’s okay. On most days.
But it is not this day!
Today I am asking you to share, to take a couple of minutes of your time to tweet a link and/or share it on your facebook page.
You won’t know that you saved a life, but you’ll know you tried. And that is a wonderful thing.
Thank you to Lisa at Dogs N Pawz for the Tuesday’s Tails blog hop.
There are so many very sad stories out there. Mom tells us all the time when we are acting up that we have no idea how lucky we are to have a great home. Those poor pets in shelters, and many don’t even know their time is almost up. Just tragic! Sharing…
No name? That is the saddest thing ever. I sure hope someone saves this precious pup soon! I’m sharing…

Great news about the senior labs in CT. Now if we could just find places for all the homeless Chihuahuas in CA.
I’ll share No name.
Oh little lady no name, good luck – you’re a heart breaker.
Poor baby.
We wish her the very best of luck. Paws crossed. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
Done, I shared on facebook and twitter.
So sad, it breaks my heart.
Our hearts HURT fur her. We PRAY that she does find a loving home.
Shared on Facebook, now time to share on Google+!
Poor baby! Let’s give her a name! How about Tessa? NO dog should be so alone as to not even have a name!
What a heartbreaker! We’ll share, and pray that this sweetie finds her new home. What a terrific Birthday gift for your daughter too!
This is so sad Jodi…I’ve shared as requested and wish I could do more to help her out…

Poor sweet thing. And to think she might be pregnant to boot. 🙁

Poor girl. Sharing…
shared on Twitter, heading to Facebook. The sadness just kept piling on with this little girl’s story 🙁
I’m naming her Amy. It’s a kind and gentle name and so fitting. I shared. I hope it helps.
Poor thing. Sounds like she would need a special home since she is blind.
Shared everywhere and praying that it helps. She’s a beauty.
Poor baby, breaks my heart. Shared!
The senior dogs truly break my heart. Always share the adoptable dogs posts.
So sad, will share! She needs a home.
