I was in a panic Thursday, trying to find a home for a border collie dropped off at our clinic for euthanasia. It's always sad, but this dog was happy, hyper, healthy weight, very loving, her only problem was she had a mild case of megasophagus. Her elderly owner didn't know how to take care of her and thought no one would want a dog with health issues so he signed papers to have her put down. Being the animal lovers we are, a couple of us knew this dog had plenty of good years ahead of her started looking for someone to take her. With a little luck and a twist of fate we found a BC rescue who at first said 'no', but then called back willing to take her. Then we had to check with the owner to make sure it was all right with him (I know, sounds wonky, but vets have been sued over such issues), and he didn't get back with us until almost closing time so I was sweating it. Not sure what I'd have done if he'd said no.
Anyway, all is well, the rescue LOVES this sweet girl and she's in foster care now, safe and happy.

Was wondering where you have been. Glad you found some old friends on Facebook, and with something in common is an added plus!
Thank you for helping the BC. Poor thing. Mega E can be managed, especially mild cases. Kudos to you for always helping.
Try and keep in touch. If you want, here is my email address tmhorn@wans.net
Awesome work, Penn. I'm sure they'll find her the perfect home. She looks like a doll :)
