As always, Thank you. If you see Harrison again. He will remember you and he will remember you are a safe person. You know, because you are the one that taught me. If he is on the run again. He may not remember you right away. But when he does. It will be amazing. The time you took with Harrison giving him the chance to decide when things were ok. Shows your dedication. Because I have paid attention watching you work and studying all your posts and Newsletter articles. It takes me awhile sometimes to remember I need to walk away after a while when a dog cannot seem to accept me. Then I get so surprised when my second attempt sometimes they take only minutes before they let me pet them. Some of us do pay attention and try to remember the things you have shared. No matter how hard it is when someone thinks their way is better. To not say anything to them and just do what experience tells us works. Hoping they do not interrupt the process. Is usually the best thing. Defusing the situation instead of trying to tell them they are wrong is usually best.
A lot of people think they know a lot. As an example, When I show up on a medical call with some of my fellow Volunteers. People think they should tell us what we should be doing. Which I don't know what they know. But I do know we have protocols that we must follow. So, we do what we know is required. And use a few tactics to distract the unwanted advisors. But we have the luxury of not having to be on scene more than 20 minuets most of the time. So politely ignoring them works best. Most of the time.
Thank you for your continued effort to save every dog and cat you possibly can.
James, while it breaks my heart as it probably did yours to leave Harrison at the Shelter it was the best place, the safest place for him besides your loving home. I wish we could take them all.
I have a foster now I call Rascal, boy has he earned that name!!! I don’t think anyone will ever adopt him so until then I’ll love him, care for him along with my own, and wish I could take them all. We know we can’t. Much love for what you do every day. Prayers for Harrison.
I’ll share him to my contacts. I wish I could add him to my pack of six but I am at my limit, which wrecks me every time I see one in need, daily. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for getting him off the street. Besides road hazards, loose dogs can get in trouble in many ways especially around farm animals. He has a chance for his people to find him or a new family to love him.
Sadly, being a young teenage husky, I see this all the time up here in AK. People often abandon them by just dropping them off in the middle of nowhere. Usually they are around 5 to 8 mo old, sometimes upwards of a year. People get here and don't research and think oooo, I'm gonna get an Alaskan Husky. Then they find out they can't deal with their activity level and then dump them.
It really peeves me, because as stated, it would be safer to drop them at the shelter (and no cost) than to put them in jeopardy of getting hit by a car and possibly dying a slow, painful death, dying of starvation, being a victim of animal predation, getting shot or a myriad of other things...
Many people really are heartless. If it weren't for people like you, me and others that truly care and help these poor souls, I think the world would be better off just ending.
You gave Harrison a chance - hopefully someone will see how wonderful he is and adopt him asap. I’m in the US , we had an incredible Siberian Husky for 9 yrs - died very suddenly . I so wish I could adopt them all- they are incredible dogs - however life’s challenges at this time do not allow me to. Thank you you did make a difference, he will remember you if you meet again .
He was adopted!
