I was at the shelter the day that Chewy (what a name — A1168948, 10 years old) was walked in by her owners who said she was “a good dog” but that they were moving. I was in the kennels shortly afterward, Chewy standing in her cage alone, puzzled at the bars surrounding her. And I was there the day that a Community Service worker found her, upside down, legs in the air, eyes open — and pronounced her dead. Lucky for Chewy that this was a mistake!!!! Chewy just sleeps on her back with her legs in the air, propped up against the kennel walls — she prefers it that way. As an older dog with an older hematoma to her ear (and now an ear infection as well! — but on antibiotics, no surgery necessary) and no one clamoring to take her home, Chewy was scheduled to be euthanized yesterday. But, Chewy has no intention of dying.
She’s bouncy on her walks, she’s loving with people, and she even enjoys sharing a space with her new kennel mate. She’s a good-natured, huggable hunk of fluff — a sugary sweetheart who shouldn’t have to be pronounced dead in the shelter. She’s thankful that she is making it to Thanksgiving — but will be even more thankful if you will take her home and let her live happily ever after — and sleep upside down.
Please, please have compassion
for these older dogs.
Call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.
And kindly let us know that she is showing you that beautiful smile.
With thanks,
