Now this is a heart wrenching story but things are looking up. Perfect example of how social media is a positive.
===============
BLIND & DEAF...he's given up hope...they hear him crying at night from his kennel...
OWNER SURRENDER
Please share possible blind & deaf Midland TEXAS....K6
3 year old male Shepherd Mix
This baby is deaf and blind. Deaf dogs usually do better in homes with another dog. Children need to understand not to startle him such as times he is sleeping, eating etc. Please research training a deaf dog. The owner moved and was not able to take him with them.
Available now
(details about adoption, etc.)
Then the update (a rescue group is going to take him):
=====================
PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE ANIMAL SHELTER CONCERNING THIS BABY. HE HAS A PLAN! We are experiencing heavy snow and concerned residents are trying to get through about dogs left outside in freezing temps and snow! The voicemail emergency line is filling up and dogs that need emergency help can’t be saved because people are not able to leave an emergency message! Again, this dog is safe and will be pulled by a rescue as soon as possible!
UPDATE: Thank you for everyone trying to help this big guy! It is all being worked out. He cannot go out of state because he cannot get a HC at this time. He is going to require extensive vet evaluation. We do have rescue lined up who is willing to take. He is tagged. Masa is working with that rescue. Thank you all so much!
Update: Midland has been hit with cold weather and the roads are icy. West Texas is not accustomed to extreme cold weather like this so the city and schools were shut down due to icy roads. Because this is a city shelter, they were closed today. And will be closed Monday for holiday. This sweet dog is still at the shelter. Staff still goes in everyday to feed, water and clean for all the animals. He will be checked on!
=====================
Whew......God bless all who involve themself with rescue.......
