Basil's story started with "free to a good home" on Craigslist, then tossed from a car.
Basil’s had a rough time of it these last months- just last week, she was observed being thrown out of a car. A good Samaritan grabbed her to make sure she was not injured and then brought her to TLAC. Well, TLAC found a microchip and located her owner. He came down to the shelter and was horrified at what he saw. See, her owner gave her away, "free to good home on craigslist" a few months ago. Back then she was a healthy, happy young puppy. Now she’s thin, still heavy with milk from nursing and has some hairloss. The new owners assured him they would take good care of her.Who knows what happened in those months, but like many of the animals given away so easily and freely we can only surmise that she wasn’t kept as a family pet. More likely used for breeding purposes and then thrown away like so much trash when no longer needed. Her former owner is not going to take her back. The folks he gave her to are not returning his calls – what a shock. So sweet Basil needs rescue help.
She’s a petite chocolate lab/pit mix-weighing about 30 pounds. Her enthusiasm and friendliness for people is heartbreaking considering what she’s been through.
