As many of you know, my beloved rottie Raven crossed over the bridge a few months ago to bone cancer. www.raven.tripawds.com

A rottie tripawd in Taos, NM at a shelter. This is NOT a no kill shelter and he's been there for 6+ weeks and has no interest. They said he has a few more days. I am hoping they will hold him due to my interest....
He was just evaluated and here is what she said:
1. Baggins weighs 75 pounds and is approximately 4 years old. He may be crossed with a lab or shepherd.
2. Baggins is very friendly, wags his tail and loves to go outside.
3. He has no food aggression whatsoever.
4. Not dog aggressive at all, in fact, he is good with other dogs and puppy's.
5. Despite having 3 legs, Baggins loves to go for walks. He walks happily and is not a puller at all.
6. We did test him with a cat, he had no interest at all. We took cat out of the crate, Baggins sniffed the cat and then the cat hissed at Baggins, when Baggins got hissed at he backed up and sat down. When we put her back in the cage, he sniffed her again and then had no interest.
7. He doesn't normally mess in his kennel, but we don't know if he is housetrained or not.
8. Sorry we don't have a video camera. But, I can attest that he is a beautiful dog inside and out.
How sad is it that this boy overcame all that is involved with a leg amputation, only to end up being put down in a shelter? I want to do what I can! I need help through you all and crossposting to your other dog friends/forums to arrange a Rescue Railroad for him from Taos, NM, to Auburn, CA. Either through AZ to Socal and up. Or up to CO and over to Salt Lake to Reno, NV.
HELP? Time is of the essence!
Thank you so much,
Dawn
