Crossposting plea for BOOTS, ID# 4157002, C8 - PLEASE CROSSPOST
Please adopt / rescue high activity BOOTS or URGENTLY crosspost her info to potential adopters / rescuers . The contact is the shelter. Thank you ! ! ! ! !
This special extremely lovable dog can go to any state, per Dianne the shelter volunteer who has written the following plea for her. Boots' people need to know very well how to care for and train a happy high-activity dog. Any rescue organization that can provide 501(c)(3) paperwork to Arlington Animal Services can pull free of charge. Adoptions for regular citizens who live outside of Arlington is about $35 for Boots who is an already spayed dog. Photos of Boots are in the Petfinder link above and here: http://tinyurl.com/3n3lzs
Please contact Susan at the shelter by phoning 817-451-3436 and/or emailing Susan and Dianne: Susan.Waits@arlingtontx.gov (arlingtontx.gov) & RetMasterSgt@aol.com (aol.com)

Subject: URGENT: 11 days left to live, Boots, our boxer mix at AAS, ID# 4157002, C8
It's hard not to become attached to some of the dogs I meet, but Boots and I have "history" going all the way back to September 12, 2007 when she was originally found as a stray as a young adult. Art, (most of you know Art, our kennel manager that retired in December) fell in love with this dog, too. I have sent an email to him as well and he's also trying to find safe haven for Boots, but she is running out-of-time! Boots was first adopted in November 1 , 2007, after spending more than a month at the shelter, still the sweet dog she was when originally found. Boots returned on November 14 for being "too playful." Once again, Boots was adopted on December 5, 2007 and returned on January 24, 2008! She was adopted again almost immediately and BACK AGAIN on January 31. She been at the shelter since then. The last time she was returned it was for "behavior issues." No one has taken the time to teach Boots any manners, but Art and Susan and I are not all crazy. We each see something in Boots that has made her special to us. Boots is UTD on all vaccinations and spayed, but lacks training. Her adopters wanted a fully-vetted dog, but also expected her to be perfect. I'm sure the rescues can understand this; Boots, was probably "chosen" because she was already spayed, cheaper than some of the other dogs because she was already spayed and possibly because of being part boxer! I truly feel in my heart that the times Boots was adopted, she went to people who didn't really care about her personally! Susan has carried on where Art left off, trying to keep her out-of-harm's way. Boots has NEVER been sick, but has spent SO MUCH of her young life in a shelter, kenneled. Boots needs out now, the constant kenneling has finally affected her and I don't blame her! It's AMAZING that she has been able to stay enthusiastic and in good spirits as long as she has. If any dog deserves a chance at really experiencing what it's like to feel loved and wanted, it's Boots. She is less than two years-old and has NEVER had a real family for longer than a few weeks. PLEASE, I am begging! Can SOMEONE find room for Boots to save this girl's life? The many months of shelter life that she has suffered through will be for naught, if she ends up living her final days there. Boots has 11 days left, if no one comes forward by then, she will be euthanized. It's just not fair to keep her confined any longer in the hope that the right "adopter" will come along. PLEASE HELP BOOTS! I have attached many recent pictures of Boots.
