Off topic but still animal companion related so PLEEEEASE READ! <http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2011/06/rescue-mission-famous-panhandling-dog-on-death-row/#comments> (story, photos, and video of Chocolate) Chocolate, the (internet) famous "pan handling" dog from Florida is sitting on death row at Miami-Date County Animal Services shelter in Medley, FL waiting to be released to an individual (after the mandatory 7-day hold expires) who I'm working with (among others) to facilitate his transportation from Miami, FL to Nacogdoches, TX after 6/29. There was concern that Choco would be euthanized if he wasn't adopted by 6/30 but it looks like he will, for sure, be adopted as a number of people have stepped forward to offer Choco a permanent home. A "transportation train" has been established and as of Monday afternoon, we still need drivers to get Choco from Pensacola, FL to a shelter in E. Texas. probably some time during the first week of July. If you happen to know of any animal welfare group that can assist (or provide direction with) the transportation train OR if you can help with Choco's transport if it's near a route you normally drive, PLEASE contact me and I will put you in touch with the locals in FL who are spearheading Chocolate's rescue.
