Sad Pointer Tails

Oh, hi...I'm Wilma. I thought I would take a minute to tell you my story.

A family adopted me from a shelter, but they couldn't keep me, they were so sad. They let me live with friends of theirs, but they found out the friends dropped me off at a shelter and I was going to be euthanized. What does that mean??? I have no idea, but IL Bird Dog Rescue said it wasn't good and pulled me from the shelter.

A very nice gentleman came and picked me up from the shelter. He even let me go to a dog park to stretch my legs! That was so nice.

Then I was on my way to my foster home.

I'm a very bouncy playful little girl. I was so happy to get out the shelter! I had a house and yard to run in. But I had to be put in boarding. This is due to absolutely NO fault of my own. I guess the dog at that house thought I was to much puppy energy, after all I'm only 8 months old and I'm an English Pointer that equals ENERGY! But as full of energy as we are, we are also very cuddly and will hang out on the cough with you if you let us.

So now, I'm in boarding and I'm very sad about it. I was told an IBR volunteer was going to come take some new pictures of me. The volunteers at the rescue love my little black nose! They don't usually see that on a lemon and white Pointer. Oh, and I'm not birdie at all, I could care less about birds. So, hunting probably isn't an option for me.

So that is my story so far. I really want to get out of boarding and into a foster home or fur-ever home. Due to high medical bills and heartworm positive dogs the rescue is very low on funds. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and they are all tax deductible as we are a non for profit organization.

If you would like to foster or adopt me please fill out an application. I will require a safe fenced in yard either traditional or electric, high quality food, and a lot of love!
