Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

Willy or Won’t He?

Today we join our friends Teddy, Scout and Ash from Dogs N Pawz for the Tuesday’s Tails Blog hop. 

As Lisa says, “This is the Blog Hop that features shelter animals. Find a cat, dog, rabbit, etc. at your local animal shelter or rescue and feature them on this Blog Hop! Come join the fun and help a furry friend find a forever home! And while you’re at it, don’t forget to visit the other blogs and share their doggies, cats, rabbits, and all the other animals that need forever homes on your social media sites. Please spread the word!”

Inspired by Kim from Golden Pines, I’m focusing my efforts on helping Senior Black Dogs find their forever homes.

How one wonders does a senior dog find themselves without a home?  Well sometimes it’s as heartbreaking as an owner dying without having made arrangements for their pet’s care.  Sometimes there is no-one in the family willing or able to assume responsibility.

This is what happened to Willy.  Willy is a Senior boy currently at the South Windsor, CT police department.

Willy Willy is between 10 to 12 years old.  Petfinder says, “There is no one in the family that can care for him. He needs exercise and someone to help him through his loss.”

Poor sweet Senior is grieving the loss of his owner, and needs someone to help him through it.  Will you be the one?

Willy or won’t he find a home to live out the rest of his sweet Senior years?

You can help him by sharing this post on your social media sites and asking your followers to share it on theirs.  One never knows when a friend of a friend of a friend……:-)

Once again I chose a senior black lab.  Many dogs suffer from black dog syndrome, I’m not sure if anyone has ever figured out why so many black dogs are not adopted.  Having a chocolate dog myself (and having seen her picture on Petfinder) my guess would be, it’s hard to get a great picture of them.

I’ve also heard people may feel a tiny bit scared of them, because of the whole black cat thing.  Whatever!

I know some beautiful dogs that are black and had fate not intervened I’d have one right now myself.  When Hubby said, the only color we’re missing is black, let’s get a Black Lab I said NO.

What can I say?  I have my hands full with the two I have.

Anyway, back to the blog hop.  The picture of this guy, named Drifter caught my eye on Petfinder.

You can find more photos of Drifter on Petfinder.

Here’s what they have to say about him.

Drifter is a mellow guy who showed up to someone’s front yard with no collar and no plans of leaving. No owners could be found after searching the area. Drifter is around 7-8 years old and weighs 65 lbs.  He is house / crate trained and very sweet with children and other dogs he meets. He walks great on a leash and is pretty much the perfect pet for anyone looking for a loyal, mild mannered fellow.

If you or anyone you know is interested in Drifter, Labs 4 Rescue has an application on their website. If you require additional information, reference Drifter #3 and email Marla Cox at mclabs4rescue@gmail.com.

Drifter #3 is being fostered in Connecticut.

Meet EMMA

Hubby refuses to have a facebook page.  It’s all good, facebook isn’t for everyone.   Except he has a tendency to look over my shoulder and ask, “What’s that?”

The other day someone had posted a photo of their dog and he asked, “What happened to that dog?”

I said, “He’s missing an eye, that’s what our next dog is going to be.”

“A dog with one eye?”

“Not necessarily a dog with one eye, but the dog will be black and will either be a Senior or a Special Needs dog; or a Beagle rescued from lab testing.”

“I don’t want a Beagle.”

(I’ll tell you what Hubby always told the kids about “want” but I’ll save that for Friday’s post.)

I tell you all this because today I’m once again participating with Dogs N Pawz for the Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop and I’m once again focusing my efforts on a Senior.

Meet Emma.  Emma is a ten- to twelve- year-old, fifty pound black Labrador Retriever looking for her forever home.  She’s a very laid back, yet sweet and loving girl who loves the company of people and other dogs. She’s house- and crate-trained, walks well on leash, loves to go for rides in the car, and generally does anything she can to please her people.  She’s looking for a loving home where a senior dog that walks a little slower, and enjoys her naps can have the love and companionship she desires.

Emma is currently being fostered in CT and is one of the Labs being sponsored by Labs 4 Rescue. All Labs 4 Rescue pups are altered, up to date on their shots and have been temperament tested.

For additional information about Emma #22 please email Susan Ekaireb at susanekaireb@gmail.com.

I’m not normally one for asking people to share my posts (of course if you love them and want to that’s totally your choice) BUT when it comes to helping dogs find a loving home to spend the rest of their days.  Well let’s just say, I’m not above begging.

Please share where you can.  Together we really can make a difference!!  This is Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop.
