Subject: (PA-US) Abused Golden Retreiver Needs Home
A beautiful, loving, 5-year-old male Golden retriever who has been abused, may need a home. I personally saw this wonderful dog cower in terror on the ground when the abuser visited the relative to deliver Christmas presents. He's in a safe situation right now, staying with a relative who will not return him to the family where the husband (and father of five!) kicked and beat him, not to mention keeping him chained to a doghouse. He's supposed to go to a different permanent home, but the prospective adoptive family may be reneging, and the relative is afraid the "owners" (questionable, since there's no license tag) may decide they want him back. I was asked to line something up for him--even a foster home--just so he doesn't have to be returned to the abuser.
By the way, even though the relative tells me the prospective adopter will be a good home, it's far from an ideal situation, because the adopter is the abuser's sister and it seems to me that the dog would be in danger of being taken back at any time. The best thing would be to get him out of the immediate area, which is in Northeastern Pennsylvania. If you can help, or have any ideas, please contact me at ISellHooknLoop@aol.com--not my usual screen name. For obvious reasons I'm keeping all this as anonymous as possible.
