Yeah
It chokes me up to think about it. He was all curled up in a ball when I walked past his cage, and his head looked like pit bull. Poor pits have such a bad rep, that it caused me not to look at him, for fear he was too agressive, I'm ever greatfull to the volunteer! His story is a sad one. He was found wandering around in the country. The animal shelter called the number on his tag, and found out the renters had skipped town and rent! He was malnourished and had horrible ear infectuions and mange spots. Then he was adopted by a family who kept him for a week, and the returned him, because he liked to chase cats. They wrote a great letter about how well he did with their kids and family but that he wouldn't stop chasing their cat so back he went! I can't imagine how terrified he was. We adopted him, driving home realizing we didn't know what food he ate, so we stopped at a Petco, where he heard a squeeky toy go off, and tugged me 3 ilses to get to it. I bought it for him. When we got home he played with it for two hours, the shear joy on his face is hard to forget. He still has it, thow it's busted.

There's a blue heeler at the SPCA near us who is up for adoption. Because he is a senior (8 years old) his adoption fee is very inexpensive. Been thinking about getting him to herd the barn cats. Unfortunatley he does ot play well with other dogs (and probably not cats either), so I can't put him in with the little Lhasa. Hopefully someone who can care for him better than me will step up and adopt him before my resistance turns to mush.

My wife and I just picked up these two guys for our organization-they are lil sweeties and will be adopted fast.
