Can ya help an 'ol Bayou Girl?

Check out "Flash" before (on the left) and "Flash" after (on the right).

She has quite a story: rescued a dog along a Houston bayou two nights before Hurricane Rita. She faced many months of physical and mental rehabilitation and is now ready to join her new family. Flash is definitely a people person and hopes to find a family where she can become an integral part of their daily lives. She is an extremely loyal dog and she wants to be your best friend, so if you're looking for a loyal companion, Flash is your girl! As a health-conscious dog, regular exercise is also very important to her and she currently gets a daily morning bike ride with her foster mom, as well as weekly trips to the dog park to play. It brings out the best in her. If you are interested in a new addition to your life, please call Julie at 281-482-8420.

In the meantime, her rescuer had concerns about exactly HOW to get Flash's information out. She emailed me and I'm hoping to help her in this special situation. This is part of her email: "...we have to rely on e-mails and the Internet. Since I don't belong to any specific organization, I don't have a rescue website to "advertise" her and even when I tried to put her on Petfinder they would only accept a "classifed ad" from individuals and no pictures. Only registered rescue groups could do that.... I am trying to find all possible places where she can be posted, in order to get more exposure, but aren't having too much luck....Do you have any ideas for me as to
how else I can get her "advertised"?"

Any suggestions from our many animal rescuers out there?

I've seen emails go around around this dog. Did you ever find a home for her? If not, I could post her on a couple websites that I have access to...Petfinder and 1800SaveAPet.com. I could also put her on Puppyfind.com if she is a particular breed or looks like one. It's mostly for breeders but I put Mr Ks dogs on there even if they were mixed breeds.

Let me know.

Go to Petfinder.com and look under rescue orgs. Find some in your area and contact them to see if they can help with exposure through the internet or at an adoption day. There may be some that would be happy to help - especially since it appears that you would be able to foster her while she is up for adoption. It might take some calls but it may be an option.
