UPDATE: Same day updates are pretty rare but oh so sweet. Gavin is getting out! He has a foster home. After he's had a chance to settle in and get comfortable again, he will be available for adoption through St. Francis Animal Protection Society.
Can you imagine being killed simply because you are too scared? Gavin* is at high risk of being put to sleep. We only have the weekend to find him a temporary home and save his life.
He is a young Welsh Corgi and Cardigan mix. He was found as a stray by a nice couple who thought they were doing the best thing for him - turning Gavin into the shelter in hopes his family will find him.
The shelter holds stray animals for 72 hours giving people time to find their lost pet. No one claimed Gavin during this allotted time. He was evaluated to be put up for adoption. Unfortunately he is so terrified in the shelter environment, he was deemed 'unadoptable'. The shelter is too overcrowded to keep him and his luck has almost run out.

Time and time again, we see shy and scared animals blossom into loving pets once they are in a home. You can save Gavin by providing him a calm, caring foster home. Interested? Fill out our application here.
Did you know? If you find a stray animal, you can have it documented in the shelter's system and foster it in your own home. This gives the animal a better chance of being reunited with its family - a calmer environment without a deadline.
*This dog is a stray; we named him Gavin.
