Help Silver avoid death penalty for being old!

suebee · 08-06-2010, 07:57 PM

When I got home this evening I had a voice mail message from the director of the shelter housing Silver. She explained that given his health problems and age they have decided that the kindest course of action would be to follow through and euthanize him. I can only assume that they're acting in Silver's best interests.

I'll continue to look for another animal that needs a good home and is a good match for my family. I hope those of you who are able will continue to do whatever you are able to help animals who are in need.

Thanks to all who posted here and especially to those who tried to help Silver.

in my arms I will hold him, as I sleep the night away, under the moon we will cherish, the last few moments on earth....

I just had to have my dog euthanized today. He was 2 months shy of 14 and had paralysis in his rear legs due to an arthritically compressed spine. Since he could no longer walk we decided to let him go. I posted his pic in the gallery. He died in my arms on the vet table.

I would like to have another dog some day but I need time to grieve right now. I am sorry to hear about Silver as well. Sometimes euthanasia is the best thing for an old worn out dog.

Very, very sorry to hear about Silver. Recently had to put my own 13 year old friend to rest. My boy was tired and had so many things go wrong at once.

Keep staying strong for the others out there that need good homes!
