Lizz from NYCityPets put up a posting today that is worth reposting here. The text is from an email a reader sent to her.

Animal Lovers-

Lady is a 5-year-old Rottweiler currently living in New York City. Her owner intends to move to Europe at the end of the month-at which point he plans to destroy her! Apparently he doesn't even want to pay to have a vet do it, but just plans to take her out to the country and kill her himself. He is making no other arrangements for the dog, but is okay with someone else finding her a new home. This is where a friend and I have stepped in.

Lady is a little shy, but quickly warms to new people and loves to go on walks. She's relatively small for a Rottweiler-only about 55-60 pounds. She's sadly gotten used to life in a small city apartment, but a little more room and daily walks would certainly bring joy to her life (and yours!)

I don't know how Lady reacts to other pets or small children, so I wouldn't recommend her for a home with either (though she might be just fine). She's perfectly heathy as far as I know, but she would need a checkup and updated innoculations. I checked with Eastside Veterinary Clinic and found out that the checkup and routine rabies shot she needs together cost about $55. I don't know yet whether or not Lady has been spayed.

If you are interested in Lady or know someone who might be, please send an email.
Hopefully with a little networking this dog can be saved!
