A Terrified Puppy Named Moot
Moot's stray hold is up on 3/6/2012.
Nashville, NC - A picture can often portray emotion more effectively than words.The photo captured of a 3 month-old puppy named "Moot" at the Nash County Animal control is one such image.
Instead of the carefree joy typically encounted in young puppies, Moot exhibits absolute terror. According to the individual who captured this image, the first time that she picked him up, he was so terrified that he "poo'd".
No dog should have to experience such terror - a puppy this young should not even know that such terror exists. Moot is described as a 3 month old Lab mix who weighs approximately 10 lbs. Moot was picked up as a stray.
Moot needs to have a person who can make him feel safe and loved. He needs security.

I really can't take on another critter right now, or I'd give him a home in a heartbeat.
I'm going to call though, to see if he can be sponsored to buy him more time. 2 days is so little time....
and written an email to see if Moot can be sponsored to buy him more time. Boarding there is $5/day.
According to the website they may only get 3 days to be adopted -- wrong, I misread. Strays are held 3 days before adoptable. How long they get depends on how full they are. According to petfinder, this is a very small, high kill shelter. All the dogs were listed on petfinder as "critical" and had been posted on 2/27. I hate to think those beautiful dogs may already be gone
Their normal open hours are 1-4pm Mon-Friday.
They *try* to be available from 8-5 for adoptions. Their adoption fee is $20 plus $5 rabies vax if over 6 months.
