Exclamation Urgent! Poodle

Cross-posted:

Good morning, I am writing you in regards to an urgent situation that has emerged concerning a War Veteran who is from out-of province and has just been discharged from hospital. He is in the midst of being placed in emergency social housing and his dog ( i believe its a poodle) has been brought to the humane society because non of the shelters nor emergency housing options will facilitate a dog. He once had a dog brought to the humane society that would fatally injured by other dogs - and so is beside himself with worry. He claims that this dog is all that he has left in this world and that if anything happened to it he could not go on. Would you know of any crisis foster-parents that could, in all good faith, look after the dog either permanently or until he is placed in a rental sitation where he might be allowed to recover his dog. My direct telephone number is (416) 954-0403 Thanks kindly, David Bookbinder Counsellor Veterans Affairs Canada -Toronto Sunnybrook Office Sunnybrook & Women's College Health Sciences Centre Kilgour Wing, 2075 Bayview Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4N 3M5 email: david.bookbinder@vac-acc.gc.ca website: www.vac-acc.gc.ca

Do you know which humane society the dog is in? And if they will even release the dog to a foster?

A family has stepped up to take the dog, if it falls through David has the appropriate rescue contacts.

I just spoke to David and he said to tell everyone here that he was so surprised at how quick people stepped up to help and wanted to thank everybody for there offers to help.

These situations are so sad. In the last few months alone, we've had urgent requests for and from people who have either died or moved into a facility, leaving behind up to 20 cats needing homes.

It's very important to make provisions for your pets in the event that you pass away or can no longer care for them.

I'm sure these people would be utterly heartbroken to see their beloved pets dying in shelters.
