Stockton CA: Foreclosure capital of America. 2 sweet orphan dogs. Pls RESCUE THEM ASAP

Please save these two or crosspost their info--- Lucky and This Dog need out of high-kill Stockton Shelter in central California. Contact Volunteer Sue at dansuemosby@comcast.net or the shelter ASAP.

















This Dog - ID#A118302

is female, black and white Border Collie. My age is unknown. I have been at the shelter since May 17, 2008. Sue wrote: She's a small border collie mix that is very, very sweet and affectionate. I put a hold on her last week thinking I might be able to get somebody to take her in, but not yet. I can pull these two girls and help with transport if somebody can take them in.

There were 186 records posted per the City of Stockton Animal Control Petharbor webpage yesterday. I don't know why these two cuties were impounded but their chances of rehoming are diminished by their being in the "Foreclosure Capital of America (so-called per 60 Minutes*). Volunteer Sue Mosby has highlighted these two for crossposting to help them get rescue. Please save them if you can or crosspost further to someone who may be able to rescue them. Call Stockton Animal Shelter at (209) 937-8274 -- Ask for information about animal ID numbers A118369 and A118302.

LUCKY - ID#A118369 My name is LUCKY. I am a female, black Border Collie and Chow Chow. My age is unknown. I have been at the shelter since May 20, 2008














*Steve Kroft reported on 60 Minutes:Stockton is a city of 280,000 people in the Central Valley; 80 miles east of San Francisco and 80 miles north of San Jose. In many ways, this is ground zero for the current financial crisis and a microcosm of everything that went wrong.

A few years ago, it was one of the hottest real estate markets in the country; today it is the foreclosure capital of America.
