Over the last month or so Judy has contemplated selling her property and moving further out in the country. (less hassle with neighbors and city issues)
She will also be scaling back on the amount of dogs she will take in. She has had some health issues come up that helped make this decision. It makes me sad on many levels.
I talked to her today and she might already have a buyer after only 2 wks on the market. She doesn't even have a place picked out to buy yet!
She will be keeping Zeke, Ollie and Diesel. And all of her personal dogs. As well as the donkey and 2 horses.
I will be taking Rhett....when.... I can find a home for Cleveland. I feel this will be best for Rhett.
I would love to keep Cleveland, but he is far more adoptable then Rhett is. I am going to call a couple pit bull families and start really getting the word out. I will miss Cleveland, he is a wonderful goofy, brat. But I know he'll do well with a new owner, and Rhett will adjust better with me.
I talked to my ex's son today and he might be able to take Mac in May if he moves. His current apartment is not pet friendly, otherwise he'd take him now. Hopefully this works out, Mac will still be close to me, and I can be in his life.
That will make my home safe for Rhett, and Cleveland. (right now the plan is to move, but since it concerns his dad, that if changes every few days!)
In the future Judy will only be taking in dogs that the sheriff confiscates, or ones that the vet contacts her with and obvious stray/neglected etc. No more owner surrenders.
Sadly the community isn't going to be the same, and they won't even realize it. The dogs will be the ones to lose out and suffer.
I will continue to help her w/ adopting out the ones she does take in. I do the photographing, petfinder/adoptapet/pbrc/fb and local flyers and classifieds. But I won't be going out to here place during the week to help with the dogs.
I can hope that the local humane society gets their act together and begins to take in dogs again. Right now they only do a spay neuter program that isn't publicized very well.
But I won't be helping them or volunteering until they change their attitude / public statement towards pit bulls.
