URGENT PLEASE SHARE I wanted to share her story Sharon reached out to me for advice. She told me she moved to Florida in May . To a park with house their you buy like a trailor park . Her dogs have always had a fenced yard back in Alabama. They were learning to be walked daily on a leash. She told me she was walking her dog . Looking at her phone and the leash slipped from her hands . As her dog went to go say hello to another lady walking her dog. It spooked the lady and Sharon trying to get to her dog fell and broke her elbow. There was no aggressive confrontation . It was friendly meet greet. The lady who was walking her dog reported Sharon and her dog to the main office. This was July . Sharon apologized to the lady and the office. Even mentioned she'd get the dog training so this didn't ever happen again even though it was Sharon's fault . She was distracted. After she broke her elbow a new friend in the hood was walking her dog for her since she had a broken elbow. He reported to the office not once had the dog ever gotten off leash again . It was a 1 time occurrence. No animal control report was done . No police report was done. Keep that in mind !!! And fast forward to this week . The main office sent a letter to her the dog has to go hes 12 yrs old ! She has until end of September. She used all her money to move to Florida so cant move shes invested in this and if she dont obide they will force her out. Oh get this their contract says any breed any size just keep leashed She owns the modular house but not the lot she pays lot rent. I told her to get an attnory and fight. But she wants someone to take her dog and if not shes putting him to sleep the end of September?? Can anyone help ? Shes willing to drive it !!!

Ok listen up everybody !!! We need to come together and help Arlo and Teresa . She adopted Arlo from Safe Haven 2 yrs ago. These 2 have hit hard times. Teresa is unfortunately going through a divorce and can't stay where she was so the only place she has at the moment is her car and family and friends couches . Looking for work which she has now gotten 2 jobs but Arlo couldn't stay with her. She tried to get someone to foster with no luck . And the places shes had to land didn't accept pets. So she dropped Arlo at a shelter. She plans to get an apartment by the second or third week of April so we need a foster just for a short amount of time a few weeks to 1 month if things fall through Arlo can always come here with me in Sputh Alabama until she can get him. She loves him so much and he loves her. Life happens and unfortunately we can't control. So can anyone help us out ? Foster Arlo until Teresa can get a safe place for her and Arlo ? These are the pictures from her phone you can tell the kinda life hes had and hes vetted took great care of trained so worked with . They just need help ! This is what she had to say about Arlo . His name is Arlo now. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots. Good with kids, and male & female dogs. He is house trained and crate trained, but won’t destroy anything if left unattended. He is mild energy for his size, but loves outdoor adventures. Walks great on a leash when wearing a harness, rides good in cars, and loves to cuddle. EVERY PLEASE SHARE LETS HELP THEM TURN THIS BAD SITUATION AROUND !
