My backdoor neighbor is being evicted. He did nothing wrong, but the house is unfit to live in. Hell, I was 13 when that house was built, and it was a cheap-ass jerryrigged flim-flam of the late 1970s.

My neighbor’s wife got injured when an insanely cheap deck collapsed. The landlord merely nailed boards over the sliding door. And when my neighbor asked the landlord of he would fix the deck, the landlord said no, but he would not renew the neighbor’s lease,

So, my neighbor had one month to get out. And I only learned this a few days ago.

He has nowhere to go except maybe his mother-in-law and he cannot take his dog with him.

The dog is a big, beautiful, white German Shepherd—a pure-breed, a really beautiful animal. Anyone old enough to remember exercise guru Jack Lalanne’s dog, Happy, that big, healthy dog was identical to this one.

I wish all dogs could have a good, loving home. And I know that a lot of people have to give up beloved companion animals. But there are also, among those numbers, a lot of pets that are completely wonderful animals that people would want if they only knew how to connect.

Do any of you jellies know of any animal rescue resources that can match such animals with people seeking them? Some animals are euthanized and that is bad enough—but some that are put to death may be precisely what some loving individual(s) wants or needs

Any suggestions for rescue of a loving animal that has maybe a week or less before going to a shelter that kills?
