URGENT: Help save this dog's life
Moderators: I realize this is probably more appropriate in the other pets section, but felt it would get more reads up here. Please move if you feel best.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have never helped with a relay transport before but are interested, feel free to pm me with any questions. It's kinda like the underground railroad for pets...a chance to literally save a life without the commitment of actually adopting a dog yourself. You just sign up to drive a leg if you want to help! This particular dog is on a very short stay of execution, pending my ability to get him to the rescue group.
Help save Harley! He was turned over for euthanasia but I found a shelter who is willing to make room for him, if I can get him there! All legs are flexible, please cross-post widely. All times allow for a 15 minute potty-break between legs.
Name: Harley
Species: Canine
Breed: German Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Weight: ~70lbs
Gender: Male
Altered: Yes
Personality: Fearful, submissive, friendly.
Description: Classic GSD black saddle, long-coated, dropped ears.
Reason for Transport: Euthanasia to rescue
Crate: Not provided
Leash/Collar: Provided
Crate Trained: Yes
House Trained: Yes
Car Riding Behavior: Loads well, nervous fidgeter but stays in one place.
Health Certificate: Provided
Vaccinations and Shots: Current
Known Medical Problems: None
Known Behavior Problems: Fearful; please use extreme caution when moving him between vehicles, as he may bolt.
Additional notes: Harley was an owner-surrender to a veterinary hospital for euthanasia when the owner's other dogs continually harassed him. He had been found as a stray some months prior and his background is unknown. We presume he has been beaten, due to his initial reactions to us. He is very fearful towards strangers, and may bolt if panicked. Please double-leash this dog at all times, and keep him securely fastened to something inside the vehicle. He responds well to calm firm gentleness, and does know his name. His favorite "itchy spot" is just back of his shoulders.
