Eddie Cintron of K9 Partners of Monroe County has started a fundraising page to help the victimized dog Pierre. Pierre was left in a pet store in the bathroom in a plastic bag. As Eddie Cintron tells, the owner has come forward and there is still a investigation while the Humane Society is returning the dog to the group that was caring for him. Cintron has started this fund to help with all the medical help that Pierre needs.
Pierre’s story as posted on his fundraising page is posted below:
He doesn't whine. He doesn't bark."He snorts a lot and snores, and makes all kinds of noises, said Karla Barkley, GRASP. But the story of Pierre the French Bulldog, is speaking volumes across the country.
“We have had a lot of people interested in fostering or adopting,” Barkley said. “Someone wants to try to find a way to get him to Florida. “Abandoned Sunday night in a garbage bag at Petco, unattended in a bag that he had vomited in, gone to the bathroom in, Pierre is now suffering dehydration, malnutrition, skin irritations and more. It's proof that a dog's life isn't always a walk in the park. There's not enough awareness, and we need to bring the awareness out.”
Karla Barkley is a member of the group “Greece Residents Assisting Stray Pets” - GRASP, for short.
“We have dealt with cases like this in the past. In fact, GRASP"has had to find homes for nearly 300 stray and neglected animals, just this year. Dozens more are on a waiting list on their website. Pierre is only the newest candidate: a four- to six-year-old French bulldog, with one of those faces only a mother could love.”
“He's wonderful, he's very calm, and he’s very loving. He loves the attention,” said Sue Zukowski, GRASP volunteer. Humane Society investigators visited Petco in Pittsford Monday afternoon, where Pierre was found. The Society tells YNN that pet abandonment is a crime, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. But justice will run its course. The focus now is healing Pierre."That's the number one priority right now. And then once his health is better, we will start the process of finding him a forever home."And some forever love, to go along with it.
