Chenille--high white F, high-kill--Springfield, TN--RESCUED!

New postby ajones on Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:50 am

I received an email plea for this dog from a local (to the shelter) rescuer who is trying to make a difference there. The shelter is about an hour north of Nashville. As she noted,
"I truly hope someone out there can help this pretty gal. This animal control has long euthanized 40 animals per week and we are TRYING to change that- one dog at a time!!
Any chance you can save this sweet life? Thanks!"

Chenille's PF description: "Pet ID: 11-090100 • Primary colors: White or Cream, Brown or Chocolate • Coat length: Medium"

Her PF link: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/21082740.

Shelter contact info:
Robertson County Animal Control
Springfield, TN
615-384-5611
animalcontrol@robertsoncountytn.org


I can also put you in touch with Sara, the woman who sent the email--just contact me if you'd like her email address. Although the shelter is just about an hour south of me, I am not a great local contact because of communication I exchanged with the shelter director and the county executive after an especially bad incident about a year ago.

Sara's email did go to four other email addresses, some of which I recognized as being involved in East and West TN BCR. So I believe those folks have been alerted to Chenille's need.

Thanks, Art and SARJazki, for your comments--I can only imagine how beautiful she would be all cleaned up!

I heard back from Sara last night, and she shared this distressing update:
I am truly hoping someone will step up and save Chenille! I just got the dreaded "shelter full" call today.
Makes me sad that deaths are upcoming if something doesn't soon change :(

If anyone has room for Chenille, then, now is definitely the time to step up for her.

What a pretty girl, and no mistaking the BC in her. I pray she makes it out. :(

She's uniquely beautiful. I love that stalking shot. Very border collieish.
"Good health, two years old, good with other dogs" -- she would make someone so proud and happy.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. She is definitely a beautiful girl, and it is great that she has that characteristically BC profile photo on her PF listing.

I appreciate you getting additional information from the shelter, SARJazki--and I'm glad someone there got back to you.
