Subject: [Barkemail] Two St. Bernard Dogs need home


We have sold our house in Waterloo, IL and need a place to put our 2 St. Bernard dogs. One female and one male approximately 7 years old. Great dogs however we can not have pets at our new home. We only have until tommorow night Aug. 30, 2005 or they will have to be put down. Please help this is my last resort. Please call me at work at 314-621-0100 until 05:00 PM or contact via email @ cherri_davis57@hotmail.com.
Thanks in advance

That post is just sooo disturbing. Why would you ever opt to kill your dogs.  So many other options like finding a rescue organization or kenneling them temporarily. Doesnt this woman have a single friend who would foster them for a bit. sheesh.

I gave the owner of the St. Bernards the # and e-mail address of the Illinois St. Bernard Rescue.  Let's hope she does so and doesn't put to sleep those beautiful, trusting animals.  How could she do that?  If I live close to her, I'd pick them up myself!  I don't understand people like that.  She had to have known she would have to move and have to find a placement for her dogs....sheesh .

That's pretty crummy.  A true dog owner doesn't get rid of their animal because they are moving to a place that doesn't allow animals.  Instead they don't move somewhere becasue it doesn't allow their dogs.  How can  you give up a part of your family, a piece of your heart after 7 years together.

One thing, if anything would ever force me to give up my dogs.  That thing would be if I became physically unable to care for them.  But I have people lined up to take my dogs if anything ever happened to me, there would be a custody war over them.

Why do people think thier pets are disposable pieces of property. That makes me really angry. I hope they are able to find a home.

I would be willing to take them and give them a few good years but I wouldn't be able to do it until a couple months from now, only if they are nuetered, only if they get along with other dogs, and only if they currently don't have any major health problems.  A lot of only ifs...but if nothing else I am willing to help.

A house without dogs????  Why bother!  I agree with you, 'dogs'!  Camping with dogs is better than a palace without dogs!!!

I just read this thread and am dying to know if there's any news. It sickens me that this woman would opt to put down her dogs vs finding a new home or utilizing a rescue org. This woman is crazy, not to mention heartless. I agree with what someone else said, I would find housing that would accomadate my gang---not one that would not allow dogs >:(   

Even though I don't agree with her actions, is there any way we can find a safe haven for these two?

I wrote to her, offering to take them. I sure couldn't keep them but I didn't want them to be put to sleep,either.

Fortunatly she wrote back and said she found a family that would take them both. So they are safe.
