Paid Euthanasia or Second Chance?

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Darra, an 8 year old girl, was brought to a kill shelter in Ohio, as a "PAID EUTHANASIA". Her owners were 'TIRED OF TAKING CARE OF HER'. NOT because she was terminally ill, or suffering from horrible injuries. But because THEY WERE TIRED OF TAKING CARE OF HER. Did they consider someone else might not be tired of her, might be able to love her, would be honored to have her as part of their family? Nope. If they didn't want her, no one would have her.

Her FIRST lucky break came when concerned shelter staff begged the administration to give them time to find a rescue group to take her - to NOT euthanize her. That bought her enough time for the staff and dedicated volunteers to find Col. Potter! Intakes was contacted Tuesday. We immediately told them YES! we can take her, just give us a minute to find help to pull her and get her to the vet.

And here it gets better for little Darra - her SECOND lucky break! Amazing volunteers at the shelter coordinated to get her moved to our vet the very same day! One of the volunteers picked her up and drove an hour to get her set and SAFE. From death row, to safe haven, in two short days! There truly are huge hearts everywhere!

Darra is already spayed. She is housetrained and very sweet. She does have some skin issues, and ear issues, which will be evaluated and she will begin treatment at the vet's. She is very confused, and I am sure sad at the loss of what family she knew.

Darra needs a foster home. She needs to find a safe place to lay her head, and gather her thoughts, before moving on to her wonderful forever.

Can you foster sweet Darra? Can she find her LUCKY BREAK NUMBER 3 with YOU??? If you have space in your home and heart for this senior baby, who was tossed aside, please check out our foster facts and apply to become a CPCRN Foster Home by clicking the following link: I’M LUCKY BREAK NUMBER 3!!
