Save Duke!

My brother-in-law sent us the following email. We told we are going to get a GS eventually but unfortunately we can't take him while we still live in our apartment.

 

This was posted on our bulletin today. Just wanted to pass it along in case you know of someone that would be interested ...

 

German Shepherd needs home

 

Some friends of mine found a German Shepherd over the weekend. Please see contact information at the bottom of the posting.

 

My husband, Cameron, rescued an adult male German Shepherd Friday (6/27) at Highway 321 and Interstate 85. We immediately took the dog to the vet; he spent the afternoon at Matthew's Animal Clinic. We brought "Duke" home from the vet where he spent the evening with us. He had a good appetite and even went on a walk with our Golden Retriever around our neighborhood- he did very well on a leash. However, we made the agonizing decision to release Duke to the Animal Control Division of Charlotte-Mecklenburg based on information that this would increase his chances of legal acceptance into a rescue program.

 

As of today, Duke has graduated into the "Adoption" category, but Animal Control has stated that, due to capacity, Duke must be adopted by this Saturday afternoon, July 5th. His control number is A726511. Please know I would be happy to donate money to whomever takes him for his continued care, food, etc. as I would love to see this sweet boy find a home.

If anyone is looking for a GS or a rescue dog in general PM me for the contact info, I don't want to publically post this woman's name and number.

If I didn't already have two hellions I would seriously consider it. Mine are GS/Rott mutts...

And yes, my carpet is disgustingly dirty...because of them.

One of my dogs' names is Duke!

 

He is not, however, a German Shepherd.

 

Just thought everyone should know.

Your dogs are so awesome beck

If I lived over there I'd totally take him.. what a honey! <3

 

We have 3 dogs right now.. 1 St. Bernard and a couple of mutts ><"... of course I'll have to hunt down photos sometime, but this is what I REALLY REALLY want..

Good news! I emailed 10 adoption/rescue orgs and one responded:

 

Iain,

 

Thank you for your email regarding Duke. I believe that the situation with Duke has been taken care of. Although I am not rue of the details, we will be helping DUke find a new home. Thank you again.
