font-family:Arial'>Well, As I'm sure most of you have seen, the two little
girls pulled from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Corinth</st1:City> <st1:State
w:st="on">MS</st1:State></st1:place> are happy with their new mommy and their
new mommy is happy with them. Now when these little girls were pulled, it was
pointed out that there was a little two year old heartworm positive male basset
there as well. I have been working on looking for a home for the little boy,
and my husband was helping me, from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Camp</st1:PlaceType>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Shelby</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>. An adopter was
found, my husband handled that end over the telephone. Nice yard, inside puppy,
gonna be the baby, all this. I go pull the little fella Friday morning, and he
is a real sweetie pie. Call the lovely soon to be new mommy, and find out a
whole other story. No fenced in yard, not going to be an inside dog, she hopes
that he will just stay in the yard after this weekend, since they borrowed a
crate for him until he got used to the place. Blah Blah Blah, what is
heartworms, what is heartguard, will they eat anything…. Me getting
madder and madder. Needless to say she does not have this little boy, and my
husband is safer where he is with gas prices too high to arrange a beating. But
the fact still remains that I have a gorgeous little boy at my house, and I
cannot keep him there very long. He is a little timid with other dogs, and I
have three. I also know my capacity for appropriate care at the moment and
three is my limit. I am in MS, and I really need to find him a home or figure
out how to get him in the direction of AL. Is there anyone who can help me? This
little boy is adorable, total Velcro dog, loves people. He is heartworm positive,
and he has a small cyst/infection on his face. He is microchipped by the shelter
but there was miscommunication and he was not neutered when I got there to get him,
and my vet cannot see him until the 17<sup>th</sup>, and I will be out of town.
If I had pulled him for me, this message would not be here, but I didn’t and
I have learned the importance of a pre drop off home visit. Talking to someone is
one thing, but that is not everything. I couldnt let this little boy go somewhere
he would not have been loved and safe. He is not housebroken, but he is learning
quickly. Great on a leash, loves walks, loves belly rubs, and has a most beautiful
Arrroooo! Doesn’t use it much though, only if you stop skritching his belly.
Working on crate training, seems to be doing ok. Paces when in the house, doesn’t
seem like he knows much about the inside of a home. Please email me off list if
anyone can help. It is not fair to him or my other dogs to keep him here. I can
drive two hours any direction to keep him safe. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
