FIGHTING FOR BUTTERSCOTCH '0410
Founder kept her a week. Said she was
sweet, potty trained and would give her
paw 4 but.... no one claimed her, so she
ended up at the shelter and is now on the
euthanasia list for 6/16 at OC Animal Care
in Tustin CA.
read her notes, and she is literally
completely terrified for her life. Her founder
left great notes about her, she had
Butterscotch a week — I wonder if the
founder knew she was going to be
euthanized, she would've kept her 40 we
will never know.

SHELTER NOTE 1
"06/05/2616:24
1 talked to the finder today. They said she
was very shy at first and it took them a while
to catch her. They said after they got her
home and in the house, she was much
more social and let them pet her and
handle her all over. (Previous rescue
person). They did not note any aggression
in the home when they had her. They are
going to try to find a rescue to help them
get the dog out"
Rescue and foster/adopter are the only
way she can survive this nightmare.
