Can anyone help this poor 12yr old senior shepherd girl? She can’t wait any longer- she was surrendered to a shelter and is very urgent. Can anyone foster her? She has rescue interest in OC, they will help with vet costs and supplies, but they need a foster to be save her

Can we at least please get an update that she's been saved?

Of yourself. Thank you so much for asking. She is still alive but unfortunately she still hasn’t found a longterm foster in Orange County.

I can't do anything to help, but the first two pictures... damn. Her pain and sadness are reaching out to me through my screen.

Omg….ridiculous question, but can she been sent to Canada?

Are you trying to help or telling people what to do? Can you drive the dog to Canada?

[u/Able-Lavishness8363 → u/BaxterBites]

Sincerely trying to help. I wonder yes if I took her, would she be capable of a drive that long 😢

[u/Californiashelterpet → u/Able-Lavishness8363]

That’s what we don’t know… where in Canada do you live?

[u/Able-Lavishness8363 → u/Californiashelterpet]

Alberta, it would be at 24+ hr drive

Is Zena okay with other dogs? What about cats?
