Earl has arrived. He is every thing and more then what the shelter told us he was. He is calm but has such sad eyes. The right family could change those sad eyes to happy. He is looking for a family that will love him and care for him. He is great with other dogs. Would do best with a family that has a fenced yard. Earl is crate trained and appears to be house broken. Would you be the family to turn those sad eyes to happy?
Contact his foster family for additional information.
Hi ,
My name is Earl but I think they told you that. I am pictured with my friend Pepper. We are currently at the shelter. I will be going to my foster family soon. That's what the people at the shelter told me.
There I will have the opportunity to see how it is to live with loving caring humans. I don't know a lot about humans like that but I think I'll like it.
My foster family will tell you all about me.
Hope if I am not the one for your family you'll check our web site and see if any of my other friends could be a match for your family.
Fondly,
Earl
PS. My foster family said to mention they will be taking more pictures so you can see what a handsome guy I am. :-)
Meet a fellow that deserves a second chance at a new life:
Article written in local paper.
"We want the town of Paden City to know that Earl is off the streets" comments Rosy Cozart, Director of the Wetzel County Animal Shelter. Earl took a liking to the glider on Carolyn Shinn's back porch @ her Paden City residence, where he would rest his weary bones on a green fuzzy blanket that Carolyn provided for him. Carolyn reported to the shelter that Earl showed up @ her home on the day her husband passed away and has hung around ever since. She stated that she was sitting on her back porch crying and he walked up to her and put his head on her lap which is quite amazing as the shelter and the dog warden have been getting reports for the last 5 yrs on the "hairless beagle" that nobody could catch. Following Carolyn and Earl's meeting, he began to follow her to the store and other errands she would do around town. Earl continued to roam the town (probably searching for the person who abandoned him) but would always return to Carolyn's porch. Many people in town felt sorry for him and tried to feed and catch him, to no avail. Many others were not kind to him.
On the 18th of January, Arnold Cochran (volunteer) and Rosy, went to Carolyn's home and picked up "Earl" who had quite a first Day @ the pound. He visited the vets office where he was given a physical and medication for his skin condition (determined to be flea allergies), and then on to the shelter for more shots and medicine and a good scrubbing! He was then given canned food, all the dry food and water he wanted, and a clean dry indoor kennel with a fluffy clean princess blanket to sleep upon. He is quite content with being off the streets. Rosy reports that, "Earl is using his papers to go to the potty, but much prefers to go to the bathroom outside. He is a sweet, quiet, loving, well mannered dog.We are calling him a basset/spaniel mix. He will make a wonderful pet for someone. He just needs to learn to trust again. Many have not given him any reason to trust humans".
