URGENT, SAFARI IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
Since January, I have been fighting to save three dogs. One found a forever home. One is safe and doing well in foster. But poor Safari still desperately needs a foster, and we are almost out of time.
Safari’s rescue told us we had to choose between keeping him in the rescue or giving him the professional training we knew he desperately needed. We chose to believe in Safari and give him that chance.
He has done INCREDIBLY well in training, but now he has no rescue backing him and nowhere appropriate to go when his training ends. If he returns to his former foster, she will not be able to continue working with him, and we are terrified he will lose everything he has worked so hard to learn.
My own life is a disaster right now, and I am traveling nonstop, but I have not stopped begging for this dog. I have begged and begged and begged, and I genuinely do not know what else to do.
Safari lived his entire life chained outside. He was rescued before he froze to death. People have promised to help him again and again, yet he is still stuck in limbo, waiting for someone to finally choose him.
He is only about two years old. While he was with me, he was housebroken, great in his crate and good on a leash. His biggest challenge was reactivity toward other dogs, but he has made unbelievable progress in training. His trainers are extremely impressed with him.
Safari could do well in a calm home with an experienced, dog savvy foster who can follow his training and carefully manage any introductions. A home without other animals would also be wonderful.
PLEASE, WILL SOMEONE HELP SAFARI?
