Griffin was found in an abandoned building crying for help. But even though the puppy was rescued by a Good Samaritan he wasn’t saved. That’s because the Oklahoma shelter he was brought to was overcrowded.
“I have no idea how this little 2 month old puppy survived after his momma died and each one of his siblings died leaving him all alone under a condemned building,” Oklahoma Ruff Refuge describes.
“Thank God for the Good Samaritan who heard this puppy’s loud cries of pain and called animal control. Sadly because of his condition he wasn’t going to get adopted sitting at our over max capacity city shelter where healthy puppies and dogs are an abundance. So this little guy found himself on the Euthanasia list in OKC.”
That didn’t sit well with Oklahoma Ruff Refuge. “The thought of this little guy fighting to live despite his momma being dumped to have her puppies under a condemned building and all of them dying except him. I thought how could I leave him to die?
He had fought so hard to finally get help. He was crying loudly, the Good Samaritan told Animal control. So finally he was rescued all to be marked NOT Adoptable and put on kill list.”
They knew they had to save Griffin but he only had minutes to spare.
Thankfully, they picked him up just minutes before he was to be euthanized. Griffin was so encrusted with mange that he could barely see.
All it took was a couple of baths and medication for Griffin to start to feel better. Three days later he got to visit the store to pick out some bones and toys.
As his fur grew out Griffin was revealed to be a black and tan hound dog.
He’s a sweet pup. It’s been several months since Griffin’s rescue and the sweet dog is still looking for a home. Visit his Petfinder listing to find out more about adopting Griffin.
