This just in:

Meet Patrick! This precious little angel came to the shelter with a broken ankle causing his left rear foot to turn under, as you can see in the picture below. After the on-site vet had a chance to examine this cutie pie it was determined that it was an old injury and would be best to amputate the leg. So, now we have an adorable tripod tater tot and he’s looking for new digs!

We think Patrick is a senior, long-haired Chi who still has lots of spunk cuz he loves to romp and play! Then he will cuddle up with you when he’s all tuckered out! He enjoys all his pooch pals at the shelter but he would prefer to be in his new loving furever home with a nice soft bed next to his human! Look at that face!!! What’s not to love???!!!

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PAY HIS ADOPTION FEE, PULL HIM, AND TRANSPORT HIM WITHIN THE DFW AREA SO PLEASE LET ME AND/OR GAYLA NELSEN (KENNEL SUPERVISOR) KNOW! PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL BE GONE MOST OF THE DAY TOMORROW (SATURDAY, 2/14), BUT I WILL CHECK MY EMAIL WHEN I GET HOME.

Note: At the Denton Animal Shelter euthanasia is determined by space, health, and temperament of the dog and they do not have a specific day they euthanize, nor do they provide a EU list. Therefore, I don’t always know when or which dogs will be euthanized so I try to save as many dogs as I can cuz time is of the essence. As always, if you are not able to help, please forward this email to your contacts. - Amy
