Got this in an email today from a friend of a friend:
This is Keona. Her owners of many years don't want her anymore, are moving Labor Day weekend and will be putting her down or turning her over to Animal Control if a new home is not found. But she may be better off. She has spent all of her years with this couple either outside or in the garage. They don't even have a vet. She's spayed but has never been vetted for anything with the exception of two weeks ago when they knew they were going to have to find her a new home and finally got her her rabies and other basic shots from a mobile vet. She's never been on heartworm prevention, not even flea protection. I asked, but they won't even spring for the lousy $25 for a heartworm test even though they can easily afford it. They called me for help and won't help me help them. It's amazing she looks so healthy.
I've kept my temper so far in order to try and help the dog, but I'm about at my limit. If I can't find a foster or permanent home for her, she's going down next week. Keona is a Malamute/Husky mix, absolutely gorgeous. She's not housebroken, has not been around other dogs (other than the next door neighbors' dogs out in the yard), and never around cats. She is good with children as the couple has two small children. Has supposedly never growled, snapped at or bitten anyone. The Malamute people are overloaded and couldn't take a dog this age, ditto for the Husky people.
The worst part? She's 11 years old!
If anyone can offer any help for this girl, I'd sure appreciate it. And oh yeah, start saving up some money to bail me out of jail.....

I know the chances are slim that someone will come along and help out in time (especially since this is a co.uk site), but I thought I would give it a shot. The whole situation breaks my heart.
