Nancy is a sweet Belgian Shepherd/Border Collie mix girl. She's only 3 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. Nancy desperately needs a foster ASAP for us to take her in.
A kind man saved her from the Downey animal control months ago when he learned that she was abandoned in an empty home in Commerce. But he is moving to a place that only allows his one personal pet, and Nancy is now in dire need of a new place.

Nancy is VERY sweet, lovable, eager to please, gentle, and friendly to people and other dogs. She has been great with his other dog, and things were just perfect. Nancy is spayed, vaccinated, chipped, and the gentleman spent more than $400 on all her routine care vet visits.

[LA,CA]: sweetface will be euth Thurs Fwd: URGENT!!! Van Nuys CA Charlene awesome Greyhound Staffie at East Valley -video


-----Original Message-----

HER DEADLINE IS THURSDAY!

Charlene #A1094754 is a 2 year old Greyhound and Staffordshire mix for adoption at the East Valley shelter in Van Nuys, CA. She was found as a stray with a dog that looked just like her, probably her sister, who was adopted! She went out on several mobiles and did great with all the people and dogs. I was at EV yesterday and New Hope Coordinator Veronica (Cell 213-435-9152, Shelter 818-756-9323, Tues-Sat 8a-5p) asked me to video her and network her... please help find her a rescue or adopter!

I saw her again at the mobile adoption in Studio City yesterday...
Here's what another networker just sent out about her....

Please rescue or adopt beautiful young Charlene at the LA East Valley Shelter!
From the moment I saw Charlene at the mobile pet adoption in the park, I was captivated by her soulful, golden-colored eyes. However, despite their beauty, they held such sadness. I went over to her handler to learn her story and was told that she was dumped in the shelter on March 2, obviously having had puppies not long before. I was told she is about 2-years old and her kennel card identifies her as a Greyhound and Staffordshire Bull Terrier (maybe that’s why she has yet to be adopted). Whatever breed(s) Charlene is mixed with, she is beautiful and unique and she has a gentleness and easy-going nature about her.
I observed her in the park for quite a while and saw that she was not bothered by the other dogs; she allowed young children to pet her, even when she was enjoying a treat; she walked well on leash; and not once did she bark. She was treat-motivated and knew how to sit when asked. There’s a video of Charlene on http://www.youtube.com/lashelterpets that was done about a week ago and you can see her playfulness, how she has learned to roll-over, and how her tail wags when she gets attention. Yet, yesterday in the park, she appeared dejected, almost aware that her time to live may be running out.

Please cross-post this email to bring awareness that Charlene may only have until this Thursday to remain alive. This special dog will undoubtedly be such a loving and loyal companion to the guardian(s) who are willing to open their home to her. Please give Charlene a chance to enjoy the many years left in her life and bring back the glow to those golden-colored eyes of hers.
