Ocala, Florida - Paralyzed Boy

[WiSunka]

I just got this in the mail, it was posted on Facebook. It's all the information I have. No photo, sorry.

Ocala, Florida- Lex is a 5 yr old GSD who is paralyzed and uses a cart. His family is facing financial problems and cannot take him to their new home (weight limit). The only option for Lex is rescue/adoption- or he will be euthanized. Who will help Lex? There has to be someone in Florida/Georgia who can help him. Contact is christine122084@aol.com

Glad someone has a pic. What a stunner! Too many people don't realize how the economy is impacting pets. I just got another mail about a different breed dog in a similar situation.

there is an e-mail circulating which says that "nick in new york" has committed to this boy. don't know how accurate that is.

btw, does anyone know "nick"? i've asked before when i've seen dogs going to him, but have never found anyone who knows him. anyone?

this sounds like a perfect place for Lex, has anyone contacted the owner and told them about this place?

I may be way off base here, but I thought there was a Nick in NY who briefly posted on this board a few years back. A policeman perhaps?

I think Jeannie Orsini might know who he is - she used to post here a lot (doesn't any more), but if anyone here is still in contact with her that might be a place to start.
