NGPR’s volunteer in Memphis went to the shelter today and paid the pull fee, only to find that someone had come by yesterday and committed to the female adult Pyr “pending a heartworm test”. Blood was drawn but test results are not back.
The shelter administration was apologetic, but did not want to lose the potential adopter by releasing the dog to rescue today. The dog is gorgeous, probably younger than the estimated age of five; picked up as a stray. One way or the other, help is on the way for that dog. If things don’t work out with the adopter, rescue is next in line.
The fluffy white puppy is now believed to be a Chow mix, not a Pyr. We hope she finds a loving home.
