Hi, I've been dealing with an "I need homes for 2 stray dogs" problem (one has been adopted - yay!!) and joined several dog lists to help me out. One of them posted the following "classified ad". I thought it was so appropriate for any animal rescue group that I wanted to post it here for everyone who rescues ferrets or other animals or has taken in one of these "recycled" pets. Kim **************************** Please help! We're in the process of moving. We must immediately get rid of our two children now because there won't be any room in our new place. Since we're leaving on Monday, we MUST place the children in new homes by this weekend!! They are described as follows: "One male, white, blonde hair, blue eyes, 10 years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Name is John. Temperament tested. Current on all shots. Tonsils removed already and very healthy condition! John eats everything, is very clean, house trained and gets along well with other children. Does not run with scissors and with a little time and training, he will do well in a new home." "One female, white, blond, curly hair, green eyes. 11 years old. Can be surly at times. Non-biter, TV watcher. Her name is Mary. Temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots and is very healthy and happy (mostly). Get along well with boys but does not like to share toys. She is house trained and would do best in a one-child household." We really LOVE our children and want to do what is best for them. Ours is a UNIQUE situation and we have a real emergency here! They MUST be placed by Sunday night at the latest. Sounds familiar? Please remember that often a pet lives 15 years or more and is a lifetime commitment. (Taken from a dog placement list) [Posted in FML issue 3218]
