Poor old dog! She's in a shelter in Jackson, OH. If there's a rescue willing to help, I'd be happy to foster her. I'd need help with transport, though, she's about 4 hours from me.

Hi Bonniethecollie and WELCOME to the GR Forum,

Here is a link to the Golden Retriever Club of America National Rescue Committee-the Golden Retriever Rescues are listed by Region and by state within the Region.

http://www.grca-nrc.org/localrescues.html

There are FIVE Golden Rescues in Ohio-please send this girl's info and picture to the one nearest the shelter first, then the others. If you would like to become a Volunteer or a foster home for any of these groups listed, visit their website to see what opportunities are available. Most GR Rescues are always in need of foster homes-an application should be available on the website or a phone number to call.

I emailed all the Ohio rescues listed in Carolina Moms link and offered to make a donation for her care if one of the rescues would take her. Pray that one of these rescues will have room for this poor girl.

 

[goldencontriever3]

I got a response from GRRR and they are trying to get this poor girl but have not been able to make contact with the shelter. If anyone is familiar with this shelter could you help with making contact.

Jackson is about 45 minutes away from me, let me know what I can do, might need some help in pulling her...poor baby!

 

[Bonniethecollie]

Well, that's good to hear! The shelter might be closed due to today being New Year's Eve - is that considered a holiday?

She's obviously been someone's pet for years and it is so sad that she has ended up at the pound.

Thank you Claudia. I will pm you the contact information from GRRR and hopefully they will help you get this poor girl out and to them.

 

[Bonniethecollie]

I had an offer from someone on the Craigslist pet board to help out, if she can wait until Saturday... will keep you all informed!

 

[goldencontriever3]

Thank you Bonniethecollie!! I will pm you the rescue information in case this person can help out. I think the problem is that the shelter has not called the rescue back and they have no one in the area to make contact with the shelter.

 

[bjm]

that'd be me who offered to drive down and back to Columbus, OH

I had an offer from someone on the Craigslist pet board to help out, if she can wait until Saturday... will keep you all informed!

No one has been able to reach anyone at the shelter.

PetFinder only shows 6 dogs today, including the Golden.

The warden and assistant warden may've been in to the shelter, done the feeding & kennels and gone out in the field answering calls for assistance.

Need to find someone local to Jackson, OH (the city) to get over there before 4 pm. Anyone with contacts?

[bjm]

spoke with Jackson Sheriff dispatch

They will see if they can get hold of the dog warden and have him call me on my cell.

Cross your fingers they haven't already put her down.

 

[goldencontriever3]

Thank you bjm for trying to help this poor girl. I think the big problem is we have no one local to go to the shelter. I am 9 hrs away. Please let us know how you make out. Praying she is still there.

 

[bjm]

Almost 5 pm and no word

The warden or assistant warden is still out on calls, out on vacation, or isn't calling back because it wouldn't be good news.

I checked my cell and I haven't missed a call.

We need to monitor PetFinder and if she is still there Saturday morning, contact me and we can work out transport somehow

ps I am not a morning person due to a sleep disorder and don't drive well in the dark due to cataracts. I can handle about 4 hours or so of driving for this dog.

suggestion

Heidi360 said she is 45 mins. from the shelter.
Just a suggestion..

You should all private msg. or email each other with your cell phone or home numbers in case you need to reach one another for tomorrow or saturday.

 

[kathi127]

What a sweetie, I sure hope someone is able to get her out of there before it's too late. I wish I were closer to help get her!

 

[goldencontriever3]

Praying that this poor girl is still there. I wish I were closer so I could go get her.

 

[Heidi36oh]

Thank you Claudia. I will pm you the contact information from GRRR and hopefully they will help you get this poor girl out and to them.

I did e-mail and never got anything back today, hopefully it will be tomorrow!

This no big ride for me to get her, just need to get someone to tell me to go get her, so far no luck!

Best possible news - she was adopted!
