Outside, he walks beside me, avoids the puddles, hardly pulls at all. When I crouch down, he stands uncertain for a moment then comes over, tail wagging. I check out his face. There's some hair loss there - only makes him look even more forlorn. I'm guessing anyone who was willing to dump the little guy in the middle of winter probably wasn't too careful about feeding him anything healthy.
I move a few stray hairs out from in front of his eyes and he wags his tail even faster.
"Someone's going to sweep you up, take you home, and never let you go," I tell him.
The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.
He is absolutely gorgeous. I don't understand why someone would just abandon this poor little fellow and leave him to fend off on his own, hungry, and cold my heart just breaks. I would take him in a heartbeat and surround him with lots of love, cuddles and belly rubs. He'll get a home as soon as that someone or family sees him on the website. Good luck Freebie.
ReplyDeleteI no longer see Freebie on the site. Does anyone know if he got adopted? I really hope and pray that someone came to love him and bring him home and spoil him forever. Please let us dog lovers know if cutie Freebie found his forever home.
ReplyDeleteGood news I just watched Animal Housecalls and Freebie did find his forever home. Congratulations little guy may you be loved, and spoiled with your new family.
