UPDATE 4/22/21: Still at SEAACA with no rescue in sight. All of our hearts are breaking for this sweet, patient dog. 
💔
I’ve been wanting to write a thread for adorable Hank since he has been languishing for 35 long days at the highest kill “shelter” in Los Angeles.
Even though SEAACA is on shutdown the moment I saw his original photo I could tell 71 lb Hank is a REALLY nice, patient dog. Yet I knew.
I knew he would have problems getting out safely💔.
But in the last month (as always) we have dealt with so many SOS’s and deadline dogs and cats and poor Hank has slipped off everybody’s radar. I even put up an ancillary thread for him but it stalled and Hank has NOTHING going on.
When he came in we called to get his age and they told us one to five years old. And I knew again. There was no way.
I don’t trust SEAACA at ALL. As you all know they are reckless, disorganized and beyond brutal😔.
And sure enough, on the code red list it said that Hank is actually eight years old, now neutered, has cloudy eyes and dental tartar.
In the three weeks that he has been code red the ONLY notes that have been added is that they noticed he had “cropped ears“.
And in all the time that we have been HOPING for someone, ANYONE to notice how special he is at this poor excuse of a “shelter” which is so quick to label behavior they have not added one behavior note.
OUR HANK IS A GOOD BOY‼️
But I just checked his original thread and the last comment was a week ago. Honestly I am ANGRY and HEARTBROKEN about it. It’s because Hank is a tan pitbull and doesn’t have a “dramatic” story.
I had a WONDERFUL tan pitbull for many years. Once someone actually said to my face that my dog was a “plain wrap dog”.
I nearly hit that person. Now I have two black, senior dogs; dogs who are also historically passed over because they don’t show well or “pop”.
So I think Hank is absolutely BEAUTIFUL inside and out and worth fighting for❤️.
But what’s going to happen when we have two or more emergencies this week as always? Is everybody going to forget about Hank AGAIN?
Please finally RALLY for Hank. Don’t YOU think it is finally HIS turn for a chance at a happy life?
There is no doubt in my mind that SEAACA will s***f out this precious dog’s life just because he’s been there too long. Please pledge, share and network for reputable rescue before it is too late.
It is up to ALL of us if our sweet Hank will find a soft, compassionate place to land with a wonderful rescue or if his last sad walk will be to the eternal darkness of the horrific kill room.
