Awwwwwww, need some adoption vibes!!!

As some of you might remember I posted about my BIL's loss of his precious "boy" Bagel here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...ighlight=Bagel . The grieving process has been hard and apparently he has been looking at Petfinder...so you know what THAT means. LOL

He texted my dh about a little beauty yesterday and asked how far this was from us. Well, it's NOT FAR and we're going to meet her this weekend. If she seems like a good match for them we'll probably bring her home shortly and then he can come from California and take her home with him. Here she is: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/1...og-Burleson-TX

Please, if you can spare some vibes that this is a fit! Martin is THE BEST dog owner in the world and is really suffering without one right now.

Thanks,

Keep us update please!...

"Annabelle was going to be shot by her owner because she "wasn't working out" as a working dog."

Sheesh, glad the neighbor stepped in. She is a beautiful dog and I hope all goes well, her sad face is heart breaking, she needs a good owner!

I know. It's not uncommon to "solve problems" with a gun where I live. Can you even imagine? We are all so bonded to Annabelle just from looking at the photos. Sometimes, you just KNOW and I so hope we are right!!!!

Oh I hope she goes to Martin. I have no doubt in the world he is a wonderful owner.

What a sad face, but hopefully it won't be that way very much longer. Please keep us updated.

Ohhhh she is so beautiful!!! Lots of vibes that everything goes well!

I believe it - as horrible as it is. I live in Texas, too.

I sure can relate to "knowing" when it feels "right". That's how I felt about BlackJack when I saw his profile: I found him on PetFinder, too. I drove almost 100 miles to adopt him - which I had never done before when adopting a cat - but I just knew he was gonna be something special.

Annabelle is a beautiful dog. She looks so forlorn in that pic. I'm sure she would be ecstatic to find her forever home, and people who will love her no matter what.

I hope everything goes well!

Just talked to the Anatolian Rescue woman and we are going to see Annabelle at 11 tomorrow! We are so excited. Another family in Arizona is also interested in Annabelle, but since we are actually going to see her, we will have "dibs."

I also talked to Martin, and he sounded so sad. He said, "I really miss my buddy and when I saw that picture, it made me happy." Can we just stop and say "Awwwwwwwwww?"

Soooooo, I will update tomorrow, with more photos and maybe a video. Unfortunately, the kennel where she is currently staying is pretty "basic" and we have been warned not to be shocked. ICK!

Keep those vibes going!

Praying!! I hope it all works out for you and your brother. Don't forget your camera, too!

It's really, really close to ME!

It's just inconceivable that some people look into the eyes of a living creature and want to kill it. Please may we someday evolve beyond that.

I hope it works out for your brother-in-law and Annabel ...but if not, I live fairly close by, and I could talk to some of our neighbors, try to find her a home. Surely among all us Texans, we can take care of this pretty girl!

So Stephanie, shall I bring you a kitty, since I'll be in your neighborhood? LOL

Carol, I agree totally. I'm so glad the neighbor intervened and rescued Annabelle. Now she's close to her forever home, be it with my BIL or in Arizona. Bless her heart, I hope she can hang on a little longer.

I checked out the kennel online where she is. It is quite "rustic" but has 5 stars for the treatment the pets get there. However, kennels are not a "home." Annabelle NEEDS one---FAST!

Awwww! Many adoption vibes coming your way!

What a beauty!!! Such a sad face though, and I'm not surprised given how she ended up "homeless". Someone should shoot her former owners just like they wanted to do to her :angry:

Bless your BIL's heart! I hope this works out!

And big to your BIL and to his "lucky lady"!

AW what a sweet but sad looking dog who needs love and a home . Mega vibes for the adoption

She is a LOVE BUG! So calm and polite and loving. Martin is making plans to fly out and get her!!!! It's almost a done deal!!!!

Yay!!!! She looks like such a sweet girl!! I can't wait to see pictures of her in her new forever home with her new forever family that will love her to itsy bitsy pieces!!!

What a fabulous dog! That face! I particularly like the picture with the caption "Love me yet???" Yes! I'd sure take her.

I really hope it works out and she gets to become a member of your extended family.

that your bil gets her.

Oh my goodness! Who couldn't fall in love with that face and those eyes!!!

So did you bring her home with you?

No, we didn't bring her home. Martin has to fill out an application, send photos of his backyard, and have them speak with his veterinarian first. I was worried about having her here as I didn't know how she'd deal with cats but after observing her for almost an hour, I don't think it will be a problem so we may go and get her a few days before Martin comes, so she can be shined up (she's shedding and is a little smelly) and exercised before her long drive. I think if we are careful not to let her and the cats mix directly, it will be fine. My dogs easily accept others, so that will not be an issue.

Martin works for UPS and can catch a flight for free anytime he wants. He will likely fly in, come to our house for a night and then rent a car and drive her home to California--21 hours. They should be WELL bonded by then!

Oh, she's no longer skinny! I think she lost weight during the cold weather as her kennel is not heated all that well. She was spayed 2 weeks ago and amazingly, she'd never had a litter in 2 years. She's just a great dog.

Will keep you posted. Martin's flying home from Vegas right now (he private pilots for bigwigs on the side) and will be seeing the photos any minute. We sent two via the phone and he was SO excited that he immediately started making plans!
