WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH TELLING US THAT THE ONE OF THE MOST BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL LABS SHE HAD EVER SEEN HAD JUST BEEN SURRENDERED TO HER SHELTER. THE LAB SHE CALLED PATTON WAS GIVEN UP BY HIS FAMILY BECAUSE THEY WERE MOVING INTO A NEW HOME AND THEY SAID "WE DON'T WANT A DOG IN OUR NEW HOME TO MESS IT UP!!" THE DIRECTOR COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT SHE WAS HEARING. THE FAMILY TOLD HER THAT PATTON HAD BEEN A PART OF THEIR FAMILY SINCE HE WAS A 6 WK. OLD ADORABLE "BIG" PUPPY. "HE IS A GREAT DOG BUT HONESTLY WE JUST DON'T WANT A DOG ANYMORE" THE FAMILY SAID. THEY COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK GIVING PATTON UP, AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT BROKE THE DIRECTOR'S HEART, THE FAMILY TURNED AND WALKED OUT THE SHELTER DOOR NOT ONE OF THEM SAID ANYTHING TO PATTON. THE DIRECTOR SAID THAT PATTON TRIED TO FOLLOW THEM OUT THE DOOR BUT THEY JUST SHOOED HIM AWAY AND LEFT.!! "PATTON IS THE MOST GENTLE AND LOVING FELLOW, SO WELL BEHAVED WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS" THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT THIS GENTLE GUY WAS SO SAD, CONFUSED, UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS BUT MOST OF ALL WHY???
