Today is Tuesday’s Tails Blog hop hosted by Dogs ‘N Pawz.

 

I really like the idea of Tuesday’s Tails blog hop featuring shelter animals, but I have to tell you the truth.  Looking through all these homeless animals and choosing only one to showcase is hard for me.

The animal control organizations in CT (as I’m sure they are everywhere) are full.  Our larger cities, the ones where they have more poverty and crime are really overwhelmed.  And the majority of these dogs are pit mixes.

I have nothing against pit mixes, (but I have a problem with people indiscriminately breeding them and then dropping them at the shelter where they may or may not have an opportunity to survive.) But that is a post for another day.

My point is it’s rare you come across a dog that is not a pit mix in one of our ‘inner’ cities.

The other big thing is that most of our animal control offices aren’t no kill shelters, so most of the dogs listed are urgent.

This little gal is a Boxer/Lab mix.

 Here is what her Petfinder page says about her.

Approximately 3 years old….approximately 55 pounds.  Very friendly girl.  Affectionate.  Great with dogs she has met.  Great on leash.  Tail never stops wagging!  Loves to give kisses.  NOT hyper…pretty laid back.

Her legal day of adoption is Friday, November 8th.  It’s also the day she can be euthanized.  She is currently at the City of Hartford’s animal shelter and she could use your help.

Her adoption fee is $50 for in-state residents and $5 for out of state.  Contact information is on her Petfinder page.

Many thanks to Lisa at Dogs ‘N Pawz for creating a blog hop to help shelter animals.  if you feel inclined, please share.
