Hi. My name is Kelley Prichard and I live in the central Arkansas area,
just outside Little Rock. I too have a soft spot for the giants, I have
rescued a Great Dane & a Mastiff and kept both as my personal pets.
They are the best! I run a small scale dog rescue out of my home here,
mostly pulling dogs from the euthanasia list at the local animal control
facility. Currently I have 24 dogs in my care, here at my home. I am a
bit overwhelmed and really do not have room for another dog. But there
is a sweet giant at Animal Control that is in great danger of being
euthanized. He is very adoptable and just as sweet and gentle as can be,
but the animal control facility is out of space. I've attached a pic of
him, which doesn't do him justice at all. He is much more handsome in
person! He probably weighs about 120#. Please help this sweet boy. If
necessary, I will pay for his neuter and give him his vaccinations. I
just don't have a place to put him. Is there any possibility of someone
in your rescue helping him? Please let me know asap. They can put him
down tomorrow if no one helps him. I went into his cage on Friday and
loved on him, and he was just such a sweetie. I had hoped that I would
be able to get some of mine adopted out this week and therefore have
room for him, but I wasn't able to get anyone adopted this week, so I
have no room. Please, please let me know asap if you can help, so I can
call them and make sure they don't euthanize him. Thank you so much for
considering this sweet, big boy. My cell is 501-303-8185 or you can
reply to this email. Transport can be arranged, if necessary. Thank you.
