My name is JOE(LOST EVERYTHING HE LOVED!!

GENTLEMAN JOE****CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com JOE***LOST EVERYTHING HE LOVED--JOE'S STORY***IT WAS A BITTER DIVORCE SAD FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED, IN A DIVORCE NO ONE WINS AND THAT INCLUDED JOE THE GENTLE, CLAM, LOVING, FAMILY BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER. THE CHILDREN WERE STAYING WITH THEIR MOTHER, ALSO THE CHILDREN WANTED A PUPPY AND HAD NO INTEREST IN JOE. THE FATHER WORKED AND TRAVELED HE ALSO HAD NO INTEREST IN KEEPING JOE, SO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SAD SITUATION WAS JOE, HE HAD NO VOICE HE COULDN'T ASK HIS FAMILY TO KEEP HIM TO NOT THROW HIM AWAY BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THE MOTHER TOOK JOE TO ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH AND SURRENDERED HIM!!! THE DIRECTOR WAS IN SHOCK AS YOU COULD TELL THAT THE CHILDREN WHERE JOE'S WHOLE WORLD. THE DIRECTOR ASK THE MOTHER WHY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING JOE. SHE EXPLAINED THAT THE CHILDREN HAD NO TIME FOR JOE, THEY NEVER PLAYED WITH HIM, JOE SPENT LONG HOURS OUT IN HIS COVERED PORCH AREA ALONE. THE MOTHER EXPLAINED THAT THE CHILDREN REALLY WANTED A PUPPY, SHE FELT A PUPPY WOULD CHEER THE CHILDREN UP SO SHE HANDED JOE'S LEAD TO THE SHELTER DIRECTOR, SIGNED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK GIVING HIM UP!! THE CHILDREN IMMEDIATELY RAN DOWN THE SHELTER AISLE LOOKING FOR A PUPPY!!! OF COURSE THERE WERE MANY MANY ADORABLE PUPPIES TO CHOOSE FROM, THE CHILDREN FOUND AN PRECIOUS PUPPY THE PUP WAS ADOPTED. THE HEARTBREAKING PART AS THE FAMILY WALKED OUT OF THE SHELTER WITH THEIR NEW PUP AND NOT ONE CHILD OR THE MOTHER EVEN SAID GOODBYE TO JOE!!! THE SHELTER DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT JOE STOOD AT THE SHELTER WINDOW WATCHING AS HIS FAMILY LEFT, HIS TAIL WAS WAGGING AS IF HE FELT THEY WOULD COME BACK FOR HIM THEY DIDN'T!!! WHEN HE COULD NO LONGER SEE THEM HIS TAIL STOPPED WAGGING HIS HEAD LOWERED. WHEN WE RECEIVED THE CALL FROM THE SHELTER DIRECTOR TELLING US THIS HEARTBREAKING STORY WE WERE SHOCKED "JOE IS A DREAM, THE SWEETEST AND MOST LOVING PUP YOU WILL EVER FIND. WE ARE BEYOND FULL, JOE DOESN'T BELONG HERE, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE IS AND WHY HIS FAMILY LEFT HIM. HE JUST LAYS IN THE CORNER OF HIS KENNEL HEAD DOWN EYES CLOSED. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS THE DIRECTOR'S PLEA TO US. ALL IT TOOK WAS TO HEAR THIS TRAGIC STORY AND TO SEE THE PICTURE SHE SENT US OF THIS GORGEOUS FELLOW WITH HIS "MELT YOUR HART" FACE WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WHEN WE FIRST SAW JOE WE SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS GORGEOUS HEAD, LAID HIS HEAD IN OUR HANDS, HIS TAIL BEGAN TO WAG EVER SO SLIGHTLY, THEY DO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE THERE TO HELP. JOE LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY AND EVEN THOUGH JOE'S FAMILY PLACED HIM IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION A SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED HIS LIFE, FOR JOE NOT BEING A WIGGLY BOUNCY PUPPY OR A YOUNG ADULT JOE HAD VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF LEAVING THAT SHELTER, DESPITE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM JOE HOLDS NO GRUDGE AND IS GRATEFUL FOR EVERY DAY, HE IS A DREAM!!!! IT IS UNIMAGINABLE TO US HOW SOMEONE COULD BE SO HEARTLESS AS TO JUST THROW A GENTLE, LOVING FELLOW LIKE JOE AWAY. THIS WAS "NOT" JOE'S FAULT, HE DID NOTHING WRONG, HE JUST HAD A COLD AND UNCARING FAMILY. JOE DID HIS PART HE LOVED HIS FAMILY EVERY DAY HE WAS A PART OF THEIR LIFE, HE SLEPT WITH THE CHILDREN, PLAYED BALL WITH THEM, RODE TO TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL HE KEPT HIS END OF THE DEAL HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT WHAT HIS FAMILY DID WAS WRONG!!! THE WAY WE SEE IT THEIR LOSS IS DEFINITELY OUR GAIN AS YOU COULDN'T FIND A MORE GENTLE AND LOVING GUY THEN JOE. ***GENTLEMAN JOE IS THE SWEETEST, 6 YR.
