UPDATE!
2/26/08: This sweet pup has arrived safely and has
been reunited with her family in Ohio. Her owner, Braden S., drove
14 hours through a winter storm to pick her up at the airport. She
has not left his youngest son's (3 yrs. old) side since arriving home.
They were shocked and upset to see how thin she was and are already
started to nurse her back to health. |

Control Officer with the dog who was dumped at a grocery store this week |
Thank you
so much to Edmond's Animal Control, and especially Debbie D, Senior
Animal Control Officer and to our dedicated and caring Pasado's
volunteers, Erica and Chris who were there to comfort her and help get
her on her flight! |

Tied to a pole and left
for good, this sweet girl waits for her owner to return |
Dumped Dog
Microchip leads to past owner
Who could dump this sweet dog?
She waited
patiently while the busy shoppers came and went. She searched each
one's face looking for familiar features, a scent or a sound, but there
was nothing. Did she know that her owner had tied her up outside
the grocery store and was never coming back?
Little did
this pup know that she was about to meet an amazing friend to animals,
Debbie D., Senior Edmonds Animal Control Officer, who would play a vital
role in the twist and turns that her life was about to take.

So often when animals are
scanned for microchips, the scan produces nothing. Or if there is
a micro chip, the owners have not updated the information so the scan
only leads to an old address or disconnected phone. But this time
something really out of the ordinary happened when Debbie scanned this
sweet girl. Her information had not been updated and contained the
information from previous owners that live in Ohio. Unable to care for
her, they in good faith had given her to a couple, trusting that they
would take good care of her.
Somewhere after that is when she had met the person who left her all
alone to fend for herself. |
|
After receiving the call
that the pup had been abandoned and in such a heartless way, the
previous owners realized that they had made a horrible mistake by giving
her up and that they could indeed welcome her back, and wanted so very
much for her to be a part of their family again - but for forever
this time. |

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
|
Can you help us make this
happen by sponsoring this pup's flight?
(We originally were asking for air miles and have found
that airlines will not accept them to fly an animal.) Please contact us
here.
Pasado's along with Edmonds Animal Control, after very careful
consideration, really feel that this girl should be returned to her
original family. We are looking for assistance to fly her to Ohio
to be with her family who so desperately wants her back.

Unexpected
things can happen so fast so please take the time to ensure that
your pet will be safe by
micro chipping and keeping the information current. |
|
This story
also heeds a very important message. It is clear how important it
is to micro chip your pet and to make sure the information is current.
Although things worked favorably for this pup this time, micro chipping
is truly is the easiest way to make sure that your animal is
returned to you if they are lost. |
