I have a 4 year old golden male going to be put down on Monday if no one takes him. He is being given to the vet today to be kenneled and then put down on Monday morning. He is super cute and has had a really rough life. His current owners tried to give him what he needed but was not able. he became outdoors chained up. he growls and can be protective. all he needs is positive behavior modification and a lot of patience. he has had a terrible life; putting him down would be better for his sake. I really want to show him that life can be good with the right people. no small kids. not sure about other animals, he currently lives with 2 chows that are also having problems.
I am their dog trainer and they haven't been training and just called me today to let me know I have till Monday to find him a home.
please any suggestions or help. I can't take him; I live with my parents who are old. my heart is breaking for him.
his name is Buster. unfortunately I have no pictures. he is a dark red and is only approx. 40lbs. who ever takes him will get 4 free private lessons in your home, if more than 20 min travel there will be a travel fee. 4 lessons is worth $350.00
Please help!!!
Wagging yours,
Karen Anderson

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 8, 2011 - Merrick Pet Care, Inc. of Amarillo, Texas is recalling a single lot of its Doggie Wishbone pet treat (ITEM # 29050, UPC # 2280829050, Lot 11031 Best By 30 Jan 2013) because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Those distributors have been notified. Only one lot of Doggie Wishbone is affected by this recall. No additional Merrick Pet Care products are involved in this recall.

Salmonella can affect animals and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products. People handling the treats can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the chews or any surfaces exposed to these products. Consumers should dispose of these products in a safe manner by securing them in a covered trash receptacle.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers immediately.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
The Doggie Wishbone was shipped to distributors and retailers throughout the US. These individuals have been notified and have activated their recall procedures.
No illnesses have been reported to date and there have been no consumer complaints for this product. This issue was identified through routine sampling by the Food and Drug Administration.
