PATCHES – A1082971
Gone - 8-3-2016 Manhattan
**GONE 08/03/16** “ALLERGIC” TO RESPONSIBILITY! The people who used to own gorgeous PATCHES have owned her since she was born in their home, 10 years ago, and she last saw a veterinarian when she was four! So, that’s 6 years without any veterinary care, which immediately lets the world know how responsible those folks were as far as taking care of PATCHES. They had a child during that time, a child who is now 5 and whom PATCHES is said to have played nicely with. What’s that notation? “Patches is a 10 year old DSH that is being surrendered due to a young family member developing allergies.” That is almost certainly a cover story for the truth of the matter, which comes a little later: “Owner noticed that Patches is starting to vomit daily and her fur is shedding more…… Patches has started to cry out in the middle of the night for the past six months.” What those people were truly “allergic” to, was the responsibility of taking care of PATCHES and making sure she was HEALTHY, LOVED, and SAFE. Shame on them for pinning their hideous decision on the allergies of a child! PATCHES deserves to be saved from the murderous ACC and she is counting on YOU to FOSTER OR ADOPT HER! Otherwise, please share her sad story and pledge toward her care….but the ONLY way PATCHES lives past noon tomorrow, is if YOU step up to bring her into YOUR HOME, TONIGHT!
