Rescuing Jack
I have had only about 5 minutes in the last few days as Linda Fung and I were able to rescue a baby!! We had been working all week on this project and didnt was to say anything cause we had no idea how this would turn out. Jack was a Maltese who was being given away by his owners, as they allegedly did not want him once they had a baby. We didnt know that this baby was over a year old and Jack had been left outdoors in a kennel with a rottweiler for over a year. And as you can see from the pictures - he was STARVED!! He spent the week at a a puppy brokers where he was shaved down, as he was infested with fleas and mats. Well she agreed to not send him to a shelter & hang on to him so we could try to find him a home. Thanks to Linda, she contacted a friend who said she would love him. So yesterday the delivery marathon started. DH and I drove to southern NJ to pick up Jack. My heart sank when I saw how skinny he was (found at 6lbs - gained during the week and yesterday was at 7.12 lbs) He is a DOLL! Very sweet, happy, sat in his carseat well, walked well on a leash. Not neutered, so was a happy marker, when I delivered him 1/2 thru the state to Linda, who very graciously took him the rest of the way to his new Mommy in Philadelphia. His new Mommy loved him, said last night that he was settling in and that his forever home will be with her or her grandmother who wants him without even seeing him!! This was a nice way to spend the weekend, helping to find this baby a home. FYI -they pressed charges agains the owners, so hopefully they will pay a penalty somehow for their horrid treatment of this sweet dog. 1st Pic is how he was found. Then his fist bath after being buzzed, and the last two in the convertable during delivery!!
