Yesterday i ran into a friend i only know from volenteering at the SPCA. About a year ago she adopted an 11 year old Huskey mix who had been at the shelter for a year. She had to pur her down this Friday. We talked about it and she said she was sad but she felt good that this dog never knew love (she was abused her whole life) until this girl adpted her. She wasnt overly devestated becasue she knew she did good and she smiled whenever she thought about how spoiled this dog became.. doesnt that sound nice?
She mentioned a dog named Tasha, a 10 year old Shepherd whos not doing so well (they give her about a year) and have been there for about 6 months.
I went home and told my boyfriend about her an to my surprise he listened! I explained how good it would be if we gave this girl a retirment home, etc.
I am going to Toronto this weekend but we will discuss it when i get back.
Now, this is where i need your help. I want to make sure he knows how he would be saving a life, or at least helping one. I was just wondering what you would say to convince him. I want to be able to say everything i can about adopting a very old dog that probably wont last long....
Here is her bio.
Tasha's owners could no longer care for her. She is a sweet old girl who is looking for a new family to retire with. Tasha's previous owners said she can be nervous in the car or around strange people and other animals. She gets along well with other dogs she knows and has lived with a cat. She enjoys daily walks and doesn't mind being bathed or brushed. As most shepherds bond strongly with their owners, Tasha will need time to build a new bond with her new family.
Now her pic - Check out the full white face!!! LOL adorable.
