Boots!  Looks like she's been a-walking

MUTTSHACK:  Cyndi, Burbank, CA

This two-year-old black cocker spaniel (mix?) with a long fluffy tail and what looks like high fashion Australian ugg-boots was taken to a shelter because her previous owner neglected to train her, could not deal with her, labeled her "hyperactive" and left her.  This is a sad result of people adopting animals and not taking the time to learn how to care for them.

Boots was kept alone outdoors in a garage, was not obedience trained, not house trained, and not leash trained. 

She was dumped in a shelter.  To save her from euthanasia she was rescued and kept in a Muttshack.  She had a dog house, a warm blanket, food and water and a big back yard to romp in with her rescuer's dog. For safety they were both muzzled when they were introduced.

Her Patron started calling people, sending out e-mails and posting flyers in the neighborhood.   "Who will give this dog a Home?".

There were several calls, and after careful deliberation, contemplating her disposition, character, and the serious training she would need, she chose the new home.

Boot's life was saved - thanks to a caring rescuer who removed her from the shelter and got her off death row.

BOOTS has now been adopted into a home that needs as much love as she does.  Her new owner lost her long-time companion and Boots who knows just how lonely life can be will be there to comfort her.

Rescued by Cyndi, Burbank, CA
