Jazz, my old dog, is on death row and time is running out


I left her with my sister when I couldn't keep her. They thought they found a home for her but the people returned her because they said she refused to go to the bathrooms outside.

I thought the people had a farm. Turned out they had an apartment.

My sister can no longer keep her and my brother-in-law is suggesting they take her to the vet to be put to sleep.

I'm just sick about this. I wish I'd never moved. I came here to be with my daughter and grandson and I can't have pets.

I loved that dog and she was a dear companion. I don't want to see or hear that she is gonna be destroyed.

All the shelters are full except the one that kills. If anyone has any ideas or if you're near Missouri and have room, please let me know. She doesn't have much time.

1. My friend's four-year-old just saw your pictures and wants to know
"The dog likes the cat? The dog don't eat the cat?"

2. No, the dog was a granny dog who took care of the kitties
She thought they were hers.

I think she's seen too many cartoons where the dog beats up on the cat for beating up on the mouse or bird!

3. Have you checked out some of the rescue groups? She looks like
she might have some beagle/Sheltie/Shepherd in her. You might be able to get them to help. If I were in Mississippi she'd be in my backyard...adorable.

6. I'm in Mississippi now. I wish I'd brought her anyway.
She is part australian shepherd (according to the shelter I got her from) and coyote (according to the vet).

13. What a gorgeous girl.
Hmm, we have a taker in Michigan and a dog in MO. Do we have anyone in between who can help do a bit a doggie underground railroad? Maybe do a relay and drive her up to Michigan?

I'm in Mass., so there's not much I can do from here.

I wish there was. She's such a pretty and obviously well-tempered girl.

16. She is 6 years old. I had her for 4.
She's near Branson in the southern part of the state. Probably about 4 hours from the Illinois border, depending on what part.

18. I live in Harrison, AR, and I wish I could take her.
We have a good home for doggies. But we can't have any more than our two.
