He sent it to us, not much I can do with it in midst of Summer Fest but will be sharing to the WSB Facebook page for starters.

It looks like “Faun” is adoptable (in a few weeks) and in need of a foster home.

Intake of dogs 1213
Total euthanasia 136
shelter animal kills =136. So out of 1213 stray dogs taken in 136 were put to death.
Ripper are you here just to argue?
I was merely letting you know that in Seattle the animal shelter puts much effort and resources into NOT killing animals. Read about the shelter instead of thinking your assumptions are facts.

The local animal shelters have a large foster program and a relatively low kill rate. Not to mention, the publicity this dog has received on this site increases the liklihood that this dog will be placed in a foster environment and/or adopted out. In addition, the dog was captured by Useless Bay Sanctuary, a dog rescue organization. Organizations like this typcially have a large network of animal rescues and foster resources. M.L

This is a big reason why many animal welfare orgs recommend that puppies for sale, lost dogs etc aren’t posted to Craigslist.

I felt terrible for her, she was so scared.

That pertains to “adoptable” animals. This dog probably won’t get that status and will be killed. Even Seattle shelters have a high kill rate for animals they deem unadoptable. We can post all the feel good stuff we want on blogs, but reality is far starker.

Glad to see there’s an effort to find the owner.

Addendum – I have sent the heeler’s owner a note. She also noted that the heeler had a chip – Jim had said he didn’t find one at first but was going to look again. I can’t try to contact him right now (maybe he will come back and look here) as I have just a few minutes to finish the next (unrelated) story before rushing off to an appointment. Thanks again to all …

DM – we have that dog listed, but without a photo – https://westseattleblog.com/pet/female-red-heeler-dog-lost/
.
I will look up the e-mail address and ask them to take a look at this dog’s picture. Certainly the mix of colors is similar.

Good job Jim & WSB for rescuing her. I hated to see how afraid she looked as she was running thru the park with her tale between her legs. 😢 Please keep us posted on her status.

I’m on my phone and can’t really follow up at the moment but it looks like it could be the same dog.

One of its functions is to ‘Care for the city’s lost and unwanted animals’
http://www.seattle.gov/animal-shelter/contact-us/about-us
The dog will be tended to and cared for until it is either reunited with its owner or adopted out.

That’s the sad reality of what happens to adult dogs like this. Sad, but true.
