As of about 15 minutes ago, April 22, Wishbone has an adoptive home!!:D:D
I spoke with the Director and one of our very own COTH member's will pick WB up tomorrow morning. :D
The Director will make sure he's got a rabies and a Parvo shot and a vet certificate to be neutered. He assured me that should something not go right, I'd be the first person he calls, but he mentioned the number of phone calls about his little guy and laughed. ;)
So, keep your fingers crossed and Sebe drive safetly!! (((((((HUGS)))))))) :)

I am terribly sorry ya'll, but I got back at 1:30 Friday morning and didn't have internet access till now.
I've been in touch with a rescue group who is going to pull him on Tuesday and they already have 2 approved homes who are very interested in this little fella.
The director of the shelter has shown interest in working with the local group rather than allowing me to claim him and place him through my group who is out of state. :confused:
Should it come down to it, my grandmother will be able to go and reclaim him for me, but then I'd (she) responsible for the kennel fees from Thursday to Wednesday.
It was painfully obvious from Thursday evening's conversation with a staff member that I had made a HUGE mistake by following the proper protocol and turning him over to the shelter. As I would not be allowed to claim him after the 72 hr hold (not counting Thursday or Saturday and Sunday).
If he was indeed a abandoned dog and not claimed, and since their shelter is soooo full, he could be euth'd first thing Wednesday morning. So, hopefully, they will agree to work closely with the Rescue group in Hickory and this little fella will be able to find a loving home, he was AWESOME in my grandmother's home.
I'll keep you all posted on the outcome of this situation. :sigh:

************************************************** *******
I am down in NC visiting my ailing Grandmother and last night we were visited by an intact male JRT and he was kind, friendly, and acceptable of king attention and a warm place to stay over night.
The sad thing is, after spending the morning calling the local Animal Shelters and the 2 County ACs in the area, NO ONE has reported this dear calm dog missing. :( He's been turned over to the Caldwell County AC and has a 72hr working hold on him, so his time will be up on Tuesday.
My plan is this, my Rescue director has already said we have space to bring him home, but if there is anyone interested, I'd be able to work with you to get him into a great home.
He's calm, friendly, gracious and knows a few commands. He's loving and gave me kisses everytime I picked him up. He slept all night long in the laundry room with a mere babygate keeping in secure without incident. He ate a little and drank a bit and didn't even eat the dog biscuits I left for him. :sadsmile:
He never even raised a lip to my Grandmother's neutered Shi Tzu and was respectful of my Grandmother's dog boundries. We didn't let them enteract only because this fella was unaltered and the JRT rescue lady told me to be careful they can be same sex aggressive.
So, if anyone is interested, I will post a quick shot of him later today.
