Poor 'Rescued' Dog at Stratford Animal Control

Hi, I'm Falco!

I had a rough life before the nice people at the shelter rescued me, and now I'm learning how to make friends, play, and just be a dog.

I'm a middle-aged guy at about 6 years old, but I'm lots of fun! I love to run and play fetch, and if you give me treats and take me for a walk, I'll be your best friend : )

Tennis balls are my favorite thing in the world. I'm a busy guy so I'll need a Kong or some chew toys to keep me busy when you're not home, and I need to go to an experienced dog owner only.

It takes me some time to get used to new people, but if you're patient with me I'll love you forever. Please come down to Stratford Animal Control (203.385.4068) to meet me ♥ Love, Falco..........  

-- This was taken from the petfinder website...This ad is laughable. This poor "rescued"dog was taken from the only home and people he had ever known and then was taken to live in a cage for almost a year now. He has had barely any contact or exercise. This poor "rescued" dog also had to have part of his tail CUT off after he chewed it in despair. Don't you think an elizabethian collar would have worked?? So much for the rescuing of him. My heart goes out to this big guy!

(Note: Falco is not the dog pictured.)
