Oh I sure hope so, this little guy gave me a good cry last night. Here is more info that I have on the shelter and contacts. Tomorrow the shelter is closed and they probably won't be answering emails and the phone tonight. Please try to email Margaret (see below) as she does keep in touch with the shelter and can work out transport for him. She will have to check and see if he was pulled first by a rescue. If so, you may be able to adopt him from the rescue. Please let me know what happens as soon as you hear anything...my heart is tugging for this guy... Be sure to put in the subject line "RESCUE OFFER' or she will not see it, as she gets hundreds of emails all day long.
