Save Bear from Death-Row!

Hi everyone,

 

As some of you are aware our dog Bear was involved in an incident on our property on the 24th of March 2022. Our neighbor was banging/yelling at our front door for over 15 minutes and my roommate has opened the door and accidentally let him out, which has resulted in him biting the neighbours arm.. Bear has always been a fiercely protective dog towards his family and property. The council came shortly after this incident and took Bear where he has been kept over the past 14 days. Those who know Bear personally will know that he loves running, swimming at the beach, playing with his toys (and rocks..), having snuggles with his loved ones, and interacting with people - including children. We have been visiting him frequently, however our visits are non-contact and through a cage. This has been torture for Bear and he is not handling the situation well. In fact, on one of my previous visits with Bear he had two nails hanging off from him clawing at the cage trying to get out. On the 1st of April, we received a notice of destruction for Bear - a polite way of saying that they are killing him. We have been informed that we will not be allowed to have a contact visit prior to Bear being euthanised or be there when it occurs, so he will be scared and alone... Bear is only 5 years old and he has a family and home to come back to. We have sent in our appeal agaisnt this decision and we are waiting to hear back from the council. We would like to raise money for any fees that may arise such as legal fees, fines etc. 

Thank you for all of your support with the ongoing petition and any money donated - anything will help!
