12/19 Stray | Male | Staffordshire Mix, Grey & White | 6Y | 77.2 lbs | HW+
๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐: https://forms.gle/ejQefDftgkcxZFmEA
Sweet senior EARL is very handsome and gentle boy, who is estimated to be around 6 years. Poor Earl was dumped in BARC's parking lot late on Monday afternoon 12/18 and just 24 hours later the shelter confirmed he would be on the euthanize list for Thursday 12/21. The shelter has not documented any interactions or care for him since yesterday when they processed his intake after which they immediately put him on the list to be killed on Thursday. He was understandably TERRIFIED when dumped in a parking lot and having strangers coming after him. They shot him with a tranquilizer and he has been TERRIFIED since. There has been zero actual aggression noted on this sweet boy's part aside from fearful warnings such as low growling and snarling - which is completely natural given the terrifying situation he was dumped into.
EARL is a handsome gentle soul who appears to be being written off and forgotten about because he's a senior and is noted as being on the euthanize list due to being HW+ (like most dogs brought into BARC) and an ear infection (easily treatable) , fleas (treatable) as well as his "behavior" which is normal given he is being manhandled, locked up and placed on the list to be killed within 24 hours of intake. Earl is a smart boy and knows he is in a bad situation and he has a REASON TO BE SCARED.
Earl is a sweet BEAUTIFUL boy that is still very much full of life, and deserves to not be overlooked and given up on because of his "estimated age". He may very well be much younger and was clearly neglected by the despicable person that dumped him in a parking lot like trash. Earl definitely does not deserve to die alone and forgotten at BARC. We are confident if rescued,Earl will bring years of unconditional love and devotion to his forever family. Earl is a truly strikingly handsome boy who deserves his own chance at having a forever family or a foster home for Christmas that will return his unconditional love and devotion.
Please consider opening your heart to this gorgeous boy, so sweet Earl does not become another BARC statistic. Please share this post so the right rescue sees Earl, and please pledge using the link in this post, if you are able, to help support the rescues so they can continue to save more dogs like Earl.

She had no reaction to other dogs as she passed their kennels and politely sniffed some puppies. Cicely has had her ears chopped off and shows signs of being overbred, as well as having poor skin condition. Despite all sheโs obviously been through she still gazed at me with hopeful eyes.
