About Gervais *losing home

This 3 y/o 65 lb. German shorthaired pointer/lab mix was saved from euthanasia in an overcrowded kill shelter where he found himself after being picked up as a stray. When he was brought into the shelter, he had a collar and a broken tether hanging from it, which looked like he had chewed himself off of the tether to escape whatever his circumstances were. Not surprisingly, no one came looking for him. Thanks to a good Samaritan, he was able to make it out in the nick of time, but now he is at risk of going right back on FRI 11/13 at 2 pm which will put him at the top of the euthanasia list and immediately at risk. The reason is because inside the temporary foster home, he does not want to share his food/toys/treats with the resident dogs. This is not uncommon for dogs who have lived their life outside, tied to a chain, never having had a toy, never having gotten treats, and not knowing if the last bowl of food they received would in fact be their last. Now, his life is again hanging in the balance and he desperately needs a hero - someone who can give him the proper decompression time and the compassion, patience, and understanding to be willing to either keep him separate from any other dogs in the home when these items are around (or simply pick up the items when he is not crated) and feed him in the crate or his own area. The temporary Foster says he is extremely sweet and affectionate, and he is absolutely happy to be around other dogs and play outside in the yard - he was even kenneled at the shelter with another dog in a 6 foot run! He is NOT dog aggressive, he just does not want to share these very valuable things that he's never had before. We have videos of him with other dogs that we can share with anyone interested in or willing to help! ***** PLEASE - if you can help FOSTER or ADOPT sweet Gervais and save his life (for the second time), TEXT Aly at 732-604-0625 ASAP as time is truly of the essence! ***** Thank you for caring about a pet in urgent need!
