I Am In Need of Some Advice
OK, HERE'S THE STORY! I AM CURRENTY CARING FOR A 10 YR OLD MIXED TERRIER NAMED MUNCHKIN, WHO, PRETTY MUCH, ABANDONED HER HOME. SHE WAS LIVING WITH 2 WOMEN, ONE WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL, THE OTHER IS 85 AND HAS ALZHEIMERS, AND, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE DID TO THIS DOG, BUT THE DOG GOT OUT, CAME TO MY DOOR, I LET HER IN, AS I USUALLY DO, AND SHE HAS BEEN WITH ME EVER SINCE (GOING ON 3 WEEKS NOW). SHE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GO BACK TO THAT HOUSE. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE TASK OF TRYING TO FIND A PLACE FOR HER, AND I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL NO-KILL SHELTERS IN ILLINOIS TO TAKE HER, BUT NO ONE WILL, BECAUSE, THEY SAY, SHE'S TO OLD. DEAR LORD!!!! SHE IS A WONDERFUL DOG, A BIT SPOILED AND OVERWEIGHT, BUT HAS MANY GOOD YEARS AHEAD OF HER. MY PROBLEM IS,,, FINDING A PLACE THAT WILL TAKE HER, WHERE SHE WON'T BE PUT DOWN. I CANNOT KEEP HER AS I HAVE A TINY APT. AND ALREADY HAVE A CAT THAT I RESCUED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO WHO STILL IS RECOVERING FROM A NEGLECTED HOME, PLUS, I AM DISABLED AND NOT ABLE TO CARE FOR MUNCHKIN. MY HEART IS SO TORN HERE. SHE WON'T GO BACK HOME, AND I CANNOT KEEP HER MUCH LONGER, AND NO ONE WANTS HER.
ANY ADVICE?? ANYONE KNOW OF A PLACE THAT MIGHT TAKE HER, EVEN THO SHE IS AN OLDER DOG?? I'M SO UPSET OVER THIS BECAUSE I HAVE DONATED TO MANY OF THESE SHELTERS OVER THE YEARS,,, AND NOW THAT I NEED HELP,,,,THEY DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED,,, HOW VERY SAD THAT IS FOR OLDER ANIMALS WHO CANNOT BE CARED FOR BY THEIR HUMANS ANYMORE. THIS REALLY DISTURBS ME.
SO,, I'M ASKING FOR SOME HELP HERE. I APPRECIATE ANY THOUGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO BECAUSE,,,,I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN, AND MY STRESS LEVEL IS AT IT'S PEAK
THANKS FOLKS!!!!
