Michelle van Raalte mikavr (at msn.com) Thursday, February 21, 2008 8:54 PM Anyone know any NJ dog lovers? Anyone have any contacts in NJ who would be able to rescue an old dog off a chain? Let the poor thing live out the rest of it's years inside, loved? Experience a hug? Fresh food and water? My cousin sent me the email following. I don’t really know anyone into rescue in NJ since I started

rescue when I moved here (NC). I know of SAVE, but you don’t want this old dog to go to a shelter environment. It might be warmer, but for a dog used to being isolated, it would probably be way too much stimulation. If you can't adopt this dog, please just forward the email and hopefully someone will open their hearts. SOMEONE’s gotta be looking for a dog right about now!! This is

pitiful. So sad. L Thanks guys. I bet working together we can figure it out. But I need some help! * If you have contacts, please

forward this email, and give the contact as: kmelvin (AT) sarnoff (DOT) com (at sarnoff.com).

I didnt even see her at first, until she peeked out shyly. She is a very old (16 years old) dog who has lived her life outside tied with a chain to her doghouse. She is so skinny (though she eats, it happens when they get older). and just the most pathetic thing i have seen in a long time. She has little to no human contact, except when the neighbor feeds her. The man whose house it is at, has been in the hospital, and was thinking of putting her down cause he can't take care of her

anymore. The nextdoor neighbors say she warms up to people quickly, and gets very excited when she is brought indoors when it is too cold out. Her name is Missy, and she is a White Shepherd. I just can' stand the thought of this dog, now that ive seen her, living what little bit of time she has like this. At least perhaps she can have some joy at the end of her life............can anyone help? Is anyone willing to put out the effort to deal with an old dog? It may require some effort, but I think its worth it to help her have some happiness. I have a house full as you all know, and I'm not sure she can do all the stairs in my house... I have a split level. Any suggestions? can anyone take her? Patricia Breen www.petstorecruelty.org
