I just sent an email to the one listed in the profile. Also to AR Pyr Rescue. Two contacts are listed but one is not activated. I'll see if I can reach someone by phone.

Bless you, Jane!  I just sent this to a Pyr friend of mine in southern MO to see if she can help, too.  Hopefully someone can pull this poor boy.  It just breaks my heart!

Dede, if you are reading this...are you able to delay his PTS date at all?  If so, I'm sure that we can find someone in the area that can help him.  I just hope that they are in time!  Thank you for caring & for posting this so that we can try to help him.

Thanks Marie. I've posted & also left messages asking that they hold off.

I just left a voice message for my friend also just in case she doesn't check her e-mail tonight.  

Jane, do you think that it would help if I called and asked them to hold off some, too?

We need a little more time- someone buy some time- I am not sure exactly what to do  - but I have some ideas- but we need more than 24 hours. I can not take off this week to go to Arkansas but maybe we can buy some time and then I can get a foster and get transport???
I can work small miracles if I have just a little bit more notice, it really is possible.
SO you guys keep calling- I am going to start working from this end. Jane you have my phone number- anyone else wanting my phone number email me.
Say a prayer guys we can do this.

I was just about to dial myself. Paige is on the Trail now too. I'm hoping against hope that if they know someone is trying to get him pulled they'll hold off. There was someone interested but they were thinking it was Benton AZ.

OOPS!!! Paige you beat me to it Girl! I'm signing off and calling right now. Fingers/toes/&paw folks!

I just sent an email - I have asked for more time- also asked for some specifics- I wonder if he has a picture posted some where?
Gosh this is so hard to keep up with sometimes but everytime that I save one of these guys and get to hold them and hug them, I KNOW that I have done the right thing.
I hope that we can save him or that someone will please step up - some one a little closer to Bentonville than myself. And I have shot the email to all of my Pyrenees contacts. Say a prayer.

I just called the shelter and let them know that we're all working on a solution and to please, please hold off.  I'm definitely praying, too.  Can you think of anything else that we can do to help?  I hate that I'm so far away.....

I called too. Wish I could get a live person but I left a plea and I'll call again as soon as they open. Hoping that Central will step in. Paige, I mailed them too.

I also saw a Pyr/Golden in Little Rock on Petfinder listed as LOST. Emailed them too just in case it could be the same fellow who is on Death Row.

Keep those Prayers going. Paige I'll call you later.

Yeah, I should have said that I got their voice mail but I left a plea, too.  I just pray that it works....

Update, we possibly have someone in the area that can foster for a few days - that means that we are really going to have to work even harder to get him into a rescue or permanent home- I am working on the solution here- and I am waiting for some responses. It would be nice to know if he is an escape artist and if he is good with small dogs because I pretty much have a place for him if he doesnt have one of those bad habits-
If anyone hears anything keep me posted.

Paige, did you see the Lost Pyr on Petfinder-Little Rock? It could never be the same dog. Could it?????
