**wracso** · 11-16-2010, 03:08 PM

BUSTER,SPIKE & MAX NEED A HOME FAST. Owner left her dogs and moved out of state and ex-husband travels for weeks at a time. He has a trip in 2 weeks & needs to find homes before then or will have to take them to the pound. He doesn�t want to do this so I�m trying to help. Spike and Buster are brothers & are Chihuahua/Yorkie and are 20 lbs. They are up to date on shots, fixed, two years & great with kids and cats. Max is a golden Lab/ retriever, he is very gentle & weighs 40lbs and is 7 years. He doesn�t like storms & hides when he hears them. He is up to date on shots, fixed, great with kids & cats. All three are crate trained and in Panama City, FL . Contact Anne at 850-960-1179. Please share and thanks in advance.

Wish I could take them; but, can't due to issues with my rescued chichuaha. Hope the sweet trio finds a good furever home, good luck!

I sent a message to realtordanielle! She has started up a dog rescue group called Seaside Animal Rescue. I sent her the link to this page. Hopefully she will see this and reply and be able to help if someone else does not take them first. C'mon Sowalers, let's help these 3 cute doggies find homes so they are not pound bound.

No offense to anyone here but what kind of person leaves their dogs? Ex-husband has a trip in 2 weeks? Why doesn't he board them? WRACSO - you are the best person trying to help these pups. Are these pups caught in some kind of domestic thing? I live in a city where we have a no kill shelter. Maybe they could come up here. They are so beautiful. I am hoping someone helps them.

There are alot of crappy people in the world. Leaving dogs behind is just a drop in the bucket. I think of all the people who leave children behind. We can help animals but think about all the children thrown away.

**SWGB** · 11-16-2010, 09:13 PM

Is there a reason that Alaqua won't take them?

**wracso** · 11-16-2010, 09:52 PM

The owner's trip in two weeks will put him out of town for almost a month. He works for the military and has to go on long trips unfortunately. I recommended my dog sitter but he is gone for so long it just doesn't work for him. The dogs will most likely have to be broken up but if I can find a home for the sweet lab and then for the two little brothers it's a success. Please pass on and any other comments are welcome. Thanks Much!

Realtor Danielle sent me a private message and is supposedly checking out the situation she said. They might all be able to stay together with her. Hopefully she will post on here.

Update, I found out the owner leaves 11/24 so need to try to find homes before then for these special guys. Thought I had a home for Max today but they decided it wasn't the right time for a dog. Thanks for passing on their info on, they are really great dogs.

That is just a week, can you take them on a temporary basis and keep trying to find homes for them at the same time? That would keep them from being taken to the pound? I am hoping Danielle Snyder will step up and take them. I am going to contact her again. Has she contacted you at all or did you post a contact on here for people to contact the guy directly?

**wracso** · 11-18-2010, 10:41 AM

Unfortunately, I have 4 dogs (one is a foster) so cannot take them myself. I will try to find another foster home for them though. I have not been contacted by anyone. I told the owner I would put my info and then pass along to anyone who called or e-mailed me directly.

**Lady D** · 11-18-2010, 10:53 AM

Have you contacted Alaqua at all about taking them?

**wracso** · 11-18-2010, 12:20 PM

I contacted Laurie and she posted on their site but I did not receive any calls. She said to check back with her after a few days and let her know the status. I know they are pretty full right now though.

I bet she will try and find room for them though when it gets closer to time for him to move. I miss Diane4145 on here, she does a lot to find homes for pets like these 3 and would be pushing hard to do so if able, but she has had surgery of some sort and is recuperating at her moms for several months.

Yay, I am so happy! You know who took them? Do they have them yet? It always makes me nervous until they actually have them because I worry about someone changing their mind at the last minute, then you are back to square one with 4 days left to start all over again. But I'm going to think positive.

**middlesister** · 11-20-2010, 08:23 PM

I am so happy to read this! Great news. This may be inappropriate but can I send a donation to the people that took them? No big deal but some $$$ to offset the cost of taking them on. There are some really wonderful people out there.

**wracso** · 11-21-2010, 08:06 PM

I will be in contact with the new owners tomorrow and get an update. They are set to pick up all three dogs on Wednesday. I will confirm everything and they have my contact info in case of any issues (since the current owner will be gone).

**realtordanielle** · 11-22-2010, 06:59 AM

Thanks so much for all your hard work in getting these 3 guys a home. And words can't not describe the appreciation that goes to the new owners of them. I wish all of them a long healthy and happy life!!!!!!!!!!! Updates will be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update...the current owner isn't leaving now until Friday so the new owners are picking up the three dogs after Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night. I will let everyone know once I have confirmation. Happy Thanksgiving!

**middlesister** · 11-24-2010, 08:56 PM

Happy Thanksgiving to the new owners and especially to the pups! So happy this turned out so well.

**wracso** · 12-03-2010, 04:40 PM

I received an update that the dogs were picked up by their new owner the day after Thanksgiving. I have given my contact info if there were any problems and haven't heard anything. So far, so good and it looks like it's a happy ending!
