Bolo needs a GOOD home!
via Pam's site:
Bolo the Rottweiler was the subject of a felony abuse case in Houston. He was found cinched up *in* a tree, almost dead. A witness saw him being beaten with a baseball bat while hanging there from the chain on his neck that was grown over by his fur and skin.
The Humane Society took Bolo and subsequently released him to Rottweiler rescue. Rescue fostered him while he was treated for heartworm and neutered. He is now heartworm free and waiting for a forever home.
The Problem: Rescue is FULL and the foster who had him now has a dog with osteosarcoma, who had to have a leg amputated. She has her hands full, so Bolo had to go back to the pound. He is running out of time at the pound!
If you can help or know of someone who can, please head over to Pamibe and she'll put you in touch with the rescue co-ordinator.
Thanks so much, Laura! A North Carolina rescue group emailed and I put them in touch with the coordinator in Houston... hope it works out... but they currently have 90 adoptable dogs in their rescue! Like I said... hoping it works out!
Thanks again! :D

This has all the makings of a sad case. Sadder, that is, than it already is.

Janet, I felt much the same way. I hope there's a special place in prison for the s.o.b.

Bolo is in his forever home with me in North Carolina . He is now living easy inside in the air conditioning sleeping on the sofa during the day and on the bed in the evening. He loves going for rides and goes with me everywhere on the weekends Absolutely friendly and trusting of everyone. A great dog worthy of everyones efforts. Two people who went way beyond the call to help Bolo was Jeff Shaver who over saw Bolo's care and kept him alive in Houston and drove 600 + miles to hand him to Mary Alice Noble who drove the other 600 + miles to get him close to me. Jeff also donted the funds to treat Bolo's heartworm
