    Please, please someone get him out of this awful shelter….please hold him, tell him he’s loved and help him in whatever days he has. Marlboro should not die an scary, undignified death alone in this cold shelter. Please fospice this sweet senior gentleman and do what his owners were unwilling to. Share him everywhere! Hugging you from afar and sending you all the love in the world. πŸΎπŸ’œπŸ™πŸ»

    I pray Marlboro can be saved, but if he can’t be, don’t let him die alone in his kennel..Please someone give him the warmth of your arms and sound of your voice to let him know he is not alone, and was loved after all in his final moments…Damn ! this is so heartbraking to see. Please..Get him out of that horrible cold place..

    Yes, what is he laying on? A bunch mixed cloths? No bed? Am I really seeing this? The shelter can’t even be bothered to make this dog as comfortable as it can be, given the circumstances? Over in Manhattan I read that they silently killed Remy because of her smelly, bloody discharge. It was just too noxious and unpleasant for them to deal with. Both of these places need to start dealing with these animals, warts and all! These pictures of Marlboro and what happened to Remy bespeak a cruel callousness that cannot be abided in a shelter where animals need your help.

    This poor dog! A foster or rescue should “pull” him out of there if only to let him pass awAy in a warm peaceful place with some level of compassion. I wish his owner a life of turmoil till the day HE dies!!

    I will pay for his peaceful and loving crossing if someone can pull him. I am upstate and due to having another elderly male dog in the home I cannot offer him a home, but I prefer to assit him in crossing if he has no other option than dying on a cold table with no loving arms surrounding him.

    Yikes!! No pledges for this senior fella?? Vet notes are good in that there is no nasal discharge, lungs are clear, breathing is normal. Difficult waking (arthritis can do that) The soft mass is noted as most likely being lipoma which is a fatty mass, lots of old dogs get them, they are non-cancerous. This old man needs pledges so that he can be pulled, go to a family vet, receive any mediations to help his old bones. Please consider pledging for this old man.

    instead of ACC putting him down on a cold table, if I offered to take him to my vet and gie him a good send off would they let me do that?

    $162.00 in pledges from the FB thread. Please consider pledging as many people are willing to foster a senior dog. Whatever rescue pulls this dear boy will need pledge money for a senior wellness check up at the vet clinic and then of course there is the cost of any potential medications as well.

    Rebound hounds….I have such love and respect for you taking this precious guy. Thank you for realizing that every life matters. This old guy will be so happy just hanging out, and it sounds like he readily accepts help and is very willing to cooperative….with that personality, he will be a joy to care for. Just because an animal has mobility or health issues, so many people feel euthansia is the kindest choice…but I have taken so many senior and special needs animals in and have learned that is the furthest thing from the truth. Just like old people, old animals can also fully enjoy life…and quality of life shifts , and it’s the very simple things that bring peace and happiness to an older , physically challenged, chronically ill, or even terminally ill person or animal. Sometimes healthy people can’t understand this and automatically assume these animals must be in pain or feel they have no quality of life….but there are many different stages in life and a healthy person shouldn’t always be the one to assess quality of life for the sick or elderly becuase they have no understanding of this new , simple quality of life. I’ve had health problems including cancer and trigeminal neuralgia from a young age, so I understand that quality of life criteria is not the same for all of us. This is why I assess animals very differently from alot of people….if they are content with a gentle touch, if they still enjoy their favorite food, if they are comfortable enough to be able to rest, …this is quality of life for an animal or person who is elderly, sick, or disabled. A dog doesn’t need to be playing and running to enjoy life…. every life is different and each is just as important. Thank you Rebound Hounds for giving Marlboro his chance to finally be with someone who understands how important his life is, and who will be honored to help this special guy get around….there will be such a special bond between Marlboro and his new owner, they will work together and it will be hard at times, but it will be rewarding when you him peacefully resting and knowing he feels safe and secure. And sometimes these old ones can really surprise you…they still have alot of life left in them, and with great care, some of them really improve and have alot of fun! Thanks again Rebound Hounds for making such an amazing difference for this boy! I absolutely love him!! God bless you all …and God watch over this special guy, he was meant to be saved, his work here is far from done! His new chapter is just beginning!
