It's a dog's life in Bark Ridge: April 2008

Saturday, April 26, 2008

Hi faithful blog readers,
I received an email today with the following information about a shelter in Indiana that will be closing in June. Any dogs that do not have a home will be euthanized. Please talk to all of your friends, relatives, co-workers or just random people on the street about this and let's find some homes! I am lucky enough to have 4 dogs that let me live with them and I can't imagine life any other way. (There are many days that I like the dogs more than most people)
Anyway, please read the story below and click on the link to see the adorable faces that desperately need your help.
Thanks,
Pat

Hello Everyone!

Well, here we go again...more babies need our help!
Please read the message below and forward to EVERYONE you know. There
is a home for each of these sweet dogs, but their time is limited only because the shelter in Marion IN is going to be
shut down.

Please click on the link and look at these sweet dogs! There are many different
breeds, each dog needing a home, otherwise they will get
euthanized the day the shelter doors close.
There are
no if's, and's, but's, or's, or maybe's...it is going to happen!

Wouldn't it be amazing if those doors closed and there was not one single soul left behind to di e?
We are their only hope in finding homes and not living out the rest of their days on death row.

This is no small feat, don't get me wrong, and yet it is not an impossibility. Heck, you just might know someone at work
who has been looking for a dog....well, here you have it!

Please open the link, look at the pictures and forward to everyone youknow. It only takes one
look into any one

of these dogs eyes to know that they are special and deserving of a chance. Who knows, you might look back at this e-mail

several years from now snuggled close to one of the sweet dogs on this list
knowing that opening this e-mail saved your best friend's life!

Thank you for reading this message and for forwarding to others.
