** FUNDS NEEDED ** *~*~*~*~ ** Venmo -petta-1 ~~or Zelle to [email protected] ** PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST * * * * *

A United States Veteran’s senior dog was stolen from his yard. Someone took Tinkerbell but removed her collar and ID tag and left those behind. The veteran and his wife have been searching tirelessly, night and day since she was taken. They are tired, worn, and heartbroken -- but they are not giving up.

Tinkerbell is 12 years old and is on much-needed heart medication. Each day without her meds puts her health at risk. The heat is not good for her. We fear she may be in the possession of a homeless person, forced to endure the harsh Phoenix heat and being used as a prop for panhandling. This sweet little girl is being forced to live in the heat and without her mommy and daddy. Please help us get her home. IF YOU SEE HER, please call immediately 602-703-4866.

WHAT WE NEED NOW:
A reward is already being offered for Tinkerbell's safe return or for information that leads to her safe return, but we want to help to make the reward more enticing.

Please contribute any amount you can to help this little girl get back to her family. Your support means the world to her mom and dad, and could make all the difference in getting her home. Thank you in advance. Donations may be sent via venmo to -petta-1. We are hoping to provide funds for a $1,000 reward.

Zelle is also an option, to [email protected]

Are you on nextdoor? If so, PLEASE clck the image below which will take you to the post . Please comment on the post, please share / re-post. We need this to be so wide spread so that it will land in front of the right eyes -- in front of the person who will see Tinkerbell and make the phone call that saves her life, and gets her back to her veteran owner. Re-posting (via the link) on nextdoor will spread this all over the Valley. Please, we need your help 🧡

WE CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH! No doggy doors! Do not let your pets outside by themselves -- go out with them and stay close. This is a screen shot from real surveillance footage.
** ARIZONA ** and everywhere. If you would not leave a toddler or a pile of a million dollars cash with your attention, don't leave your pets unsupervised there either.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??????????? Stuck at county, a lovely young lady goes almost every day to visit Bingo (we want to transition her name to "Dollie") the visits help keep her happy. This beautiful young dog remains in good spirits and looks forward to the frequent visits.

County (wrongfully) claims that Dollie will become too attached to her nice visitor, but without the visits, Dollie doesn't get to go into the (gravel) yard to play. She just sits in her cement cell waiting, and waiting, and waiting (because no one has offered to foster her).

Everyone begs rescues, "please help, please save this dog!" But how many step up to foster? Few to NONE.

Is it REAL that there is NO ONE who has a home and a yard who would be willing to foster this special girl until she's adopted.... you know ... before the county shelter euthanizes??

The real problem in this big picture is all the people who don't spay/neuter, who don't adopt with 100% commitment, who adopt when they don't have the money and then they give up the dog, who don't ID tag the dogs, who don't microchip, who don't keep the dogs secured, and who don't look for their lost dogs. THEY are the problem. MCACC can't keep up.

We cannot do anything without fosters.

IS THERE REALLY NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO WILL FOSTER THIS DOG???

We think her name should be Dollie 💕 🐾. Despite being stuck at the county shelter, she maintains such a sweet, loving attitude, and showing signs that she would like to play 😍 she needs an adopter or a very committed foster. Please email [email protected] and let me know if you would like to foster or adopt. Either way, you would be lucky to have her in your life. ❤️🩷
