You'll remember hearing that Angel had lost her home, her dog friend Bunny, and her owner to cancer, and did not do well in the shelter environment so Hickory Creek AC had allowed her to stay with a local city council person at his home so she would not grieve or pine away in a caged situation. We had the opportunity to speak to this gentleman last Thursday & Friday and attempt to explain how rescue groups operate, transport, etc. since we understood he had previously turned away another rescue group that had recently stepped forward to help and had come by his home to meet the dog. (Our apologies to whomever this was) It became clear in our conversation with this gentleman that he had grown very attached to the dog himself, although he was very firm about her needing a new home since he owned other dogs. When it came down to the wire, this resident made a decision this Saturday he would adopt Angel himself, which is great news for this sweet old girl. Hickory Creek AC wished to express their gratitude and appreciation from those of you that stepped forward in rescue to help, and they also wished to apologize that not everyone was well-informed about how rescue groups operate in their small town and wanted to thank everyone that helped by stepping up and also be taking the time to explain. They expressed repeatedly how very much they NEED the help & support of rescue and this situation was highly unusual when it became clear the resident didn't think anyone was quite right for the dog, due to becoming attached to the dog himself and only when he realized he was truly losing her, did he realize how much he loved her. Special thanks to Jodie for wanting to rescue this girl & to Maria for offering transport to Glen Rose. Can't begin to thank you both enough. Also much thanks to whomever the other rescue group was that was turned away. So sorry I do not have your name - only that it was an SPCA group. MUCH THANKS!! This is a happy ending to a long story over the last few months for Angel Collie that had even resulted in her picture being sent to a national judge of Collies to provide confirmation she was full Collie (she is!). TO TAG CARLOS OR PARKER PICTURED BELOW, PLEASE CALL KEN with HICKORY CREEK ANIMAL SERVICES AT 940-465-7444. IF YOU REQUIRE TRANSPORT, REPLY TO THIS EMAILING OR CALL 214-906-7680. HICKORY CREEK ANIMAL SERVICES IS A SHORT DRIVE NORTH - JUST NORTH OF LAKE LEWISVILLE ON THE SOUTHBOUND I-35 ACCESS ROAD. KITTENS/CATS CARLOS, M, WHITE WITH TABBY MARKINGS Carlos is confident and sweet and cuter than cute. His picture should definitely be under the word "playful". Please help rescue this kitten out of the shelter cage situation. He deserves to find a wonderful new home. PUPPIES/DOGSPARKER, M, AUSSIE OR BORDER COLLIE/BLUE HEELER MIX?This is the absolute sweetest dog you will meet - we guarantee it! He is wonderful, friendly, energetic, and just looking for someone to love. Not to mention as cute as he can be. He needs someone to rescue him.
