The following was sent to one of our lists by a subscriber, and we are passing it on in the hope that you will BRING COMFORT TO THIS MILITARY FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS, either by adopting their border collie yourself or suggesting the adoption to your Connecticut friends and family, members of your parish, etc.
- - - I don't normally do this at all, but my friend's husband is active duty Army, and was sent overseas on short order, which precluded this situation. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/24492148 This is Ella. Her owners are active duty and were supposed to finish out to retirement state side when my friend's husband got orders to England. Due to her age, they were not able to take Ella (the quarantine and processing would be exceptionally hard). She's a well behaved family dog who was raised with cats in the house. They adopted her to a family with children who promised to take good care of her, then turned around and gave her to someone else who took her out off leash and she bolted. In our experience that's pretty common with a newly homed dog. It takes time for them to become part of the new pack. Ella is well behaved, in good health, and great with children. Due to the rules of the local animal control she has to be adopted to someone in CT. If you know someone considering a family dog, please let them know about Ella. My friend and her family are beside themselves and now they can't take her back due to the CT rules [she's considered property of the state and falls under their jurisdiction now]. She really is a dearly loved pup. My friend's young children are lamenting whether the people who took her are giving her the regular flea bath (they lived on the edge of woods) and my friend hasn't the heart to tell them of Ella's plight. She can't imagine their grief if Ella should be put down and the girls find out. The animal control tried to send her to a couple of homes, as I understand, that had large dogs, and it didn't work out. We don't know what the problem was, if the other dogs didn't accept her, or what, but when my friends had her she was fine with other dogs and people. Thanks for considering passing on the need for a good home for Ella. - - - EJG ________________________________________________________________________ The Rev. Eric J.
