Yami Asta needs life
Without anymore strife,
Set, to die-
Don't let this fly.
This dog does not
belong, in the afterlife.

Oh, no
Not Arlo,
Certainly, not fair-
That no one does care.
Please let this dog's
chances grow.
He's lost ALL HOPE because NO ONE has EVER Cared😢😢😢.
We don't even KNOW what he looks like.
MEDICALLY URGENT‼️
SKELETALLY Thin‼️
Poor ARLO!! In PAIN & DESPAIR 😩!!
Pain in his hind limbs.
Difficulty walking.
Has ABRASIONS on hind limbs
FILTHY, Matted & in MISERY.
NO 1️⃣ to HELP.
His little face says, "No 1️⃣ CARES!"
ARLO #A391028 is URGENT 🚨
He NEEDS Medical 🏥 🩻 Care #CorpusChristiACS CANNOT provide.
Please PLEDGE for a Medical Rescue.

Not just, on a whim
Someone needs to go
and get Slim,
A wonderful boy-
Get him a good toy.
Make this dog's day,
bright, instead, of dim.

Stick Bug
Needs a hug,
And a good family-
As we can all see.
To take home, and
make both warm and
snug.
What kind of name is "Stick Bug" for a dog?
Maybe it is a reference to his emaciated, tall body🤦♀️
A very gentle boy & so beautiful
Someday he will be a BIGLOVE when he has proper meals & security.

Sam, at five
Deserves, to stay alive,
Not death-
Not last breath.
Please take up, for this
dog, in full drive.
🆘Extremely Urgent: Good people of the Northeast from (Virgina To Maine)
Foster or Adopter Needed
NYCACC , in New York City has gone and made another GSD , Rescue Only, for being heartbroken and scared at the shelter ‼️
This makes it harder to save her .
This is beautiful , 5 year old GSD , Sam who’s not handling shelter life well at all . She’s acting out due to fear and grief.
Sam desperately needs a Rescue, Pledges for Rescue, a Foster or Adopter. A rescue can’t save Sam without a Foster or Adopter’s home to take her to.
If you live in the northeast and can foster Sam, Please DM @notthesameone2
Please Share her to find her hero . She could be put under kill command at any time.🙏💔
