Wish I was closer. At least the owner is doing the right thing and trying to find someone who can care for him.

How can such a tiny heart love me so BIG?!!

This is a completely different topic, But you know what's so sad about rescues right now? We can NOT get people to adopt dogs D: I've had a dog on petfinder for OVER two years.. {We're just going to keep her now doesn't seem fair you know? She's been here two years, since she was a pup.} and not one person contacted me about her, When she was a puppy or otherwise. I get calls everyday from people needing us to help them with their pets finding them homes and we just can not do it. I am having to start turning people away.. I don't even know of any numbers I can give them of rescues I know are good ones that are taking dogs. One of the rescues we've worked with for about 11 years is closing it doors due to lack of adoptions. It's really sad.

That being said I hope that SOMEONE can sponsor this baby or help this woman find someone who can care of it's needs. I know what having a dog with a broken leg is like, it's hard. My Italian greyhound has a steelplate in one leg {the kennel attendent at the vet broke when I dropped him off for a neuter} and it's expensive and tramatic. Okay this is way too much about me D:.. sorry.
