Wanted: A Home for Hunny

A distressed reader sent me this posting for a dog at a North Carolina shelter that needs a home urgently (like, in a day) before she gets euthanized, and I thought I'd put it up here as is, just in case it reaches someone who is willing to step up.

She is so adorable, isn't she? I didn't see a name in the listing, but I'd call her Hunny, after the sweetest dog I ever fostered and who had the same brindle coat and looked very much like this girl.

I hope this Hunny finds a home soon!

  2. That's so sad. Why do they even want to put her down? I can't understand that.

  3. Betty, I hope so too!

    BangaloreBaker-- three million or so healthy dogs like this one are put down in shelters around the United States each year, even as so many ignoramuses who profess to love dogs flock to buy puppies from breeders. There are still so many misconceptions about shelter dogs despite the fact that most of them are the sweetest, gentlest creatures who make great companion animals. On the other hand, dogs bought from breeders, even as puppies, can easily turn aggressive in the wrong human hands. As a wise person once said, there are no bad dogs, only bad dog parents.

    Vaishali, thanks a million for this. Yes, I have been feeling very distressed since I read this posting. I am praying for Hunny. I wonder whether the people who kill these healthy animals are "human" at all. They think they own the earth!

    Vaishali, good news!! Some lovely people are arranging to organise Hunny's adoption to a secure, new home! She will not be killed!! Thanks again for putting up Hunny on your blog, I am sure many people got to know about her, prayed for her, and wished for her! God bless all! We do not know what she will be called at her new home but for us she will be dear Hunny, always :)

  9. I have a friend in Texas willing to take this dog but she would need someone to get her to Texas from North Carolina. I've asked my friend to phone the number you provided. I pray it works out.

  12. Unfortunately my friend's husband will not let her have another dog. I pray that Hunny gets a new home before the deadline.

    Does anyone know if Hunny was saved? I have the PERFECT plott hound that I stumbled upon on her execution date and she has changed my life.
