Yesterday a Brooklyn couple found a blind, very old and disoriented BT roaming around Bayridge.
They brought him to a local vet and paid or him to be examined and re-hydrated. They couldn't keep the guy; they have a difficult German Shepard at home. The vet said their only option was Animal Care & Control and added that a dog that old would never get adopted, that the other choice would be to wait a few days and put him down.
The couple was despondent and it a difficult situation. They miraculously found NEBTR and Jerrilyn Walter and Sheryl Trent sprang into action (as they always do!). They contacted me (a NEBTR volunteer) and I took him in. Poor guy was bumping into walls, very confused.
I posted on Craigslist, ACC, FB and a couple of other local missing dog organizations and... Drum roll.... At 1 am I heard from "Edgar # 39's" owners. They were crying tears of joy when they got him. They'd had him since he was 6 Wks and he's now 14!!! They promised to microchip him TODAY (I will be following up with that!). I also told them about NEBTR so I hope they will express their thanks in toward our little group.
So many sad stories, its always nice to have a happy ending! Takes a lot of people to get a dog to the right home. Thanks NEBTR!
