Dog (young and sweet) in search of new home! Please open heart and house

[Antoinetta]

If anyone is able to take in a dog, whether it's adopting or fostering 10-month old Rocky until a home can be found for it, please read on.

My friend Payvand rescued Rocky from the Prince George's County Animal Control Dept (aka the Dog Pound) so that he would not be euthanized. This little guy has not had much luck in his short life and was aboned by his owners and picked up by animal control. He cannot stay at his current foster address. Specifics about Rocky: He is a 10-month old, 25 lb Shepard/Lab mix. He is neutered and has a microchip. Has had his rabies shot too. Rocky is a SWEET dog with a silly disposition and would be a great companion for children. He loves to play and loves to be loved. Please pass this on and if you would like more information please contact Payvand at [e-mail] or call her at: 703-887-6960
She can also send you pictures of this cute, blond-colored dog.

Thanks,

Antoinetta (Washington DC)

You hear and see this more often: shelters are getting full as owner abandon their pets in times of foreclosures and economic downturn. Very sad stories. I hope Rocky finds a new home very soon!

I'll forward this post to my friend who works at the World Bank. It might get a response.

Be very careful about this - I hate to have to bring this up, but there are some people who look for "free" dogs that they don't have to go through a formal process for so they can fight them/use them for fighting bait or practice/sell them to research labs/etc. Just make sure the dog is being looked out for. There are many no-kill rescues and shelters if it comes down to it. Thanks.
