Nearly 4 weeks ago Major almost lost his life! People cared and shared far and wide and he is alive and well!
A young dog passed around from family to family 3 times and his final destiny was at the overcrowded city shelter in Chicago. Major walked through the doors with his owner ( police officer)in a muzzle and requested euthanasia.
The shelter doing their job scanned the dog and he was registered to the ranch. We never had the dog in our possession, we helped get him to his first home… “let us chip him in case he ever gets lost.”
Chicago Animal Care Services, contacted us… “we have one of your dogs who was brought in to be euthanized.” Not really our dog but how can we leave him there? No sleep, worried sick, we can’t let this happen.
Major received his lifeline and has a safe place…called the shelter told them we are coming!! Hold That Needle! That microchip saved his life!!
Major was brought out on the catch pole… seemed scared but not aggressive. “chicken nuggets await you Major in the back of the jeep”. We drove back to Indy and I delivered him at midnight to his safe place! Thank you Steve at JollyDogs Training center who said “YES” to Major. I gave him a blanket for his kennel which I learned he cherished and gave him a sense of security.
Steve started his training and he began to trust and a bond was established. Our plan was to work together to find placement with a goal of finding his forever home. I wanted him closer to our rescue so I too can work with him. I did some research and found that Major was bred in right here in Mooresville. A good breeder takes back their dogs. I now his birthday and his parents now and a good place to start his new journey.
Together we are now working with Von Dietrich German Shepherd Training and they graciously are going to help keep Major safe …. He will be vetted and neutered and begin his search for a new leash on life! Major is 4 years old, good bloodline, and a sweet disposition found hiding behind his fear.
Today is a new day Major! You got this buddy! Thank you Steve @JollyDogs Training and Chris and Shannon @Von Dietrich Training .. Major is going to Shine!!
