We have collected "Mr X" from the dog pound. Now we need a retirement home for him. Please check back later for photos of him after his rescue.
URGENT FOSTER CARE NEEDED FOR STOLEN DOG, "MR X". PLEASE SHARE.
We enjoyed lots of time with this, now senior, mixed breed dog before he was stolen from his distraught guardian 5 years ago. He was a beautiful young dog, loving and playful with people and canines alike.
The emotional harm from his theft has been intense, long, and painful for everyone who knew Mr X - especially his guardian.
In Auckland last Friday night (6/9/24), the police arrested an individual on an unrelated matter, and called Animal Management to take Mr X into their council shelter. His microchip immediately flagged him as stolen. We were listed as a secondary contact and received a call on Saturday.
Like us, his original guardian is ecstatic to know Mr X is still alive, but sadly, is not in a position to take him back now. With all shelters, including us, filled to capacity, Mr X only has until the weekend to be saved from a lethal injection.
We are desperate to get this old man out of the stressful kennel environment, but have nowhere to put him... nowhere. ????
Mr X is almost 10 years old, weighs 24kg, appears to still be friendly with humans, but is now displaying some signs of dog aggession... so we need an urgent, fenced, animal-free retirement or foster home for him.
Please contact us ASAP if you can help. We look forward to your private message or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
We will need to pay registration and sustenance fees in order to collect Mr X. They currently total $254 and increase each day. Please help us with his release fees. Donation methods are below. Thank you so much.
(As this is a police matter, we are not using Mr X's actual name).
