Jessy would've been adopted out weeks ago I'm sure because she's such a people friendly dog but unfortunately she's got a low grade case of heartworm and can't go anywhere permanently until her meds are finished. That means another 3 - 4 weeks of waiting around.
So, instead of keeping her in a cage at the shelter, Toronto Animal Services South is looking for someone who might be interested in fostering her for a month or so. The bad news is she's not good with cats nor, perhaps, small dogs but the good news is she's pretty wonderful with people. She is friendly, yet respectful and well mannered, a real joy to have around. Jessy actually reminds me of my long time ago dog, Sheba, and there was a moment when I thought about fostering her myself but my house is in such huge disarray right now, it would be a disaster.
Anyway, if you're thinking you might be able to help out for a few weeks, please call TAS-S at 416 338 6668.
Gorgeous dog - reminds me of a shiba/shepherd I fostered briefly.
ReplyDeleteHopefully someone takes her on, heartworm treatment isn't as daunting as it sounds (on the human end of it, anyway). Just two months of low activity. Not so bad.
