ah . . .sweet Lovely, has had rotten luck, but what a sweeti

[Anna]

from Andrea:

PLEASE HELP US FIND A HOME FOR LOVELY WHERE SHE WILL BE
CHERISHED FOR THE GREAT DOG SHE IS.

SHE'S HAD ROTTEN LUCK SO FAR--IRONIC GIVEN HER NAME. SHE WAS DUMPED IN A SHELTER, ADOPTED INTO A QUESTIONABLE HOME, THEN DISCARDED AGAIN.

UNLESS WE GET HER OUT QUICKLY, SHE WILL BE GONE.

WE ARE DESPERATE TO SAVE HER LIFE. BUT WE NEED TO ACT NOW!

Lovely is one of those dogs who, when I look at her, makes me wonder how anyone could bring themselves to kill her. She is so trusting and wants nothing more than to be your companion.

IF YOU CAN HELP US HELP LOVELY--RESCUE, ADOPTION, DONATION--PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO FIND HER A NEW LIFE IN A NEW HOME.

LOVELY IS ALREADY SPAYED SO SHE CAN GO STRAIGHT HOME.

Here are her details:

A106183: Lovely, age 6, wt: 70lbs.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO SAVE LOVELY.

WE CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO HER.

WE ARE DESPERATE TO GET LOVELY OUT OF THE SHELTER. SHE IS A SWEETHEART BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE ROTTIES THESE DAYS.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US?

ANY OFFERS OF DONATIONS COULD REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THX.

LOVELY: ADORABLE, FRIENDLY ROTTIE

DUMPED BACK IN SLA AFTER 2 YEARS : A1061823

VERY HIGH RISK OF EUTHANASIA

Lovely is a sweetheart Rottie, a staff favorite who was adopted from the shelter a couple of years ago only to find herself dumped back there, unwanted, to die.

Lovely is six years old and an absolute doll. She seems to have limited vision. She is not blind. But because her vision isn't so hot, she tends to be a bit clumsy,which makes her even more endearing.

And she has absolutely no problem finding your lap and any treats which happen to be
around!


I forgot my camera on Sunday so was unable to take any photos. However, Andrea and
Mindy kindly returned to SLA on Monday
and took these great shots showing Lovely
in all her loveliness.

On Sunday, Lovely was so happy to be out of her cage and have a chance to romp around
like a goofball.

I doubt that in her six years she has had a
chance to be a loved and valued member of
a family. It's such a shame as she obviously
loves affection and attention.

Here's what Andrea wrote about Lovely:
(the exclamation points are all hers!)

"What a great dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is mushy. Very affectionate. She takes up the entire lap. And she cleaned my glasses many times over. Lots and lots of
kisses. She loves attention and will be a
great companion for someone."

You can see that Lovely is a "leaner"--
always a big plus, I think--and loves being held. She probably didn't get held too
much in her last home.

Lovely only weighs 70 lbs., which is not that big for a Rottie. But
she is sturdy.

She was in a cage with two other dogs--
both pits--
and got along fine.

HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT TO SAVE THE LIFE OF

A BEAUTIFUL DOG WHO WOULD GREET YOU LIKE

THIS EVERY DAY?

But unless someone steps up to save Lovely's life, it will be snuffed out very soon. All the shelters are so crowded, the animals are being euthanized to make space for others whose owners are lining up to get rid of them.

From: Nancy Stone <nstone@bcnclaw.com>:

Donations can be made to: Smokeysmm1@yahoo.com

And LOVELY will be joining the household where Smokey the Black Chow lives. Smokey’s best friend is a blind Shep puppy. I sent NIXON the 10 year old Shep who had been at West Valley for 6 months there and he has a best friend too


It is all good. But takes money to keep it all running. Lovely will be a personal dog there and not going into foster or adoption. She will live there for her lifetime.



Thanks,



NANCY
