******* PLEASE CROSSPOST*******
I got a call from Shannon who took Buckley into my vet yesterday. She is in town visiting her Mom for a few days and realized that she (her Mom) is not able to care for her beautiful dog Buckley. The vet told them he has ACL injury and gave them some pain meds. Her Mom does not have the means or ability to care for him any longer so they were considering euthanizing him. The vet techs begged her to try and find a rescue for this dog rather than euthanize him and they are right, he is a wonderful boy and deserves a chance! He is house trained, obedient, and gets along great with everyone he meets. If you are able to rescue Buckley please contact Shannon or her sister Jessica ASAP!!! Buckley’s time is short if nobody can help him!
My mother has a 5-year old, male, pure-bred (with papers) chocolate lab. Buckley is very sweet and gentle. My mother is not equipped to take care of Buckley, and he has been neglected since he was puppy. I am only visiting for a few days, and my sister and I decided to take the dog to the vet for a check, and to a clinic to be neutered and vaccinated. We were hoping to get him into a condition in which he would be adoptable. Sadly, the vet discovered the dog needs an ACL repair (right hind leg). My sister and I do not want to put this dog down, and the vet and vet tech were adamant that this was a beautiful dog with many good years left. Please, can someone help us? I am supposed to fly out on Saturday and I would really like to take care of this before I go, as I am sure my mother will not (and the dog will be euthanized).
A little about Buckley – Buckley loves to play with squeaky toys, stuffed animals and balls. He gets along great with other dogs and children. He is amazingly patient and loving to my 8 month old son (who he only met a few days ago). Buckley just wants to be loved and cared for the first time in his life.
