***SENIOR ALERT*** Jack is an older boy who needs our help now more than ever. Because of his health issues he was surrendered to the shelter due to health and now Acc will painfully euthanize him. Please help to get Jack out before noon tomorrow to live out his remaining days with love and affection . And when and if the time comes for him to be put down let it be at a vet with friends with compassion and not at the shelter.... A volunteer writes: Jack has seen many years, celebrated many birthdays with his family. absorbed lots of tears when they cried in his coat, laughed along with them during the happy times, and kept them warm on cold winter nights. Then he got old, got arthritis, has trouble walking and needs them more than ever. But, is he curled up alongside those he loves? No, hes in a metal cage, surrounded by strangers, smells, noise, lights, barking dogs....nothing thats familiar. His family didnt want him anymore because he was too much work. Jack has a big sign on his cage Do not walk - check with medical. I was told his arthritis is bad, it hurts him to walk, hell walk a few steps then sit down to rest. Jack stood up when I opened his gate, his tail wagged and I easily slipped my leash over his head. He stepped down out of his kennel gently and we slowly walked to the elevator. Downstairs he sat down to rest for a few moments and then we continued outside. His tail never stopped wagging. Once outside he sniffed around a bit, took care of his business, and then lay down clearly worn out from the effort. We sat together chatting until Jack felt strong enough to stand up. He needs to be lifted back into his kennel as his back legs dont work well enough, and once inside lay down again to rest. Hes old, hes tired, and hes sore, but hes also a nice dog who should be sleeping on a soft bed in a quiet place for whatever time he has left. https://facebook/Urgentdeathrowdogs/photos/a.611290788883804.1073741851.152876678058553/850253454987535/?type=3&theater
