This story is a heartbreaker  

 

When Nikki (pit) was about a year old, she was found running down the  middle of Park Avenue in Memphis.  Mr. Bxxr took her home and decided to keep her.  He owned a photography studio so Nikki lived there until the business closed (2-3 years ago).  Mr. Bxxx had a partner (a female) and Nikki possibly saved the lady's life.  This is what happened - - the female photographer was working late and a man came up to the locked front door and demanded that she open the door.  When she wouldn't open the door, he started trying to break the glass.  When Nikki heard the banging she raced from the back of the studio, threw her body against the door and spread out her paws on the glass, growling and barking.  The man ran away. 

Nikki is a hero!!!!!!!!! 

Mr. Bxxx sold his studio and Nikki came home to live with him and his wife and their other two dogs.  The other female boxer died of old age.  That left Nikki and the male Shep X. 

Mr. Bxxx developed Alzheimer's and 2 weeks ago he and his wife were placed in assisted living.  Mr. Bxxxr made his son promise not to let anything happen to Nikki and her fur brother.  Mr. Bxxx was Nikki's life and mom's fav was the Shep X.  Nikki and dad would "sit for hours under the tree in the backyard.  Nikki was always by his side." 

WELL...................................... the home is empty, the yard looks like a jungle, and the two dogs, once house dogs, are being used for GUARD DOGS!!!!!!!!!  Mr. Brasher and wife are in assisted living.  They were told by their son that Nikki and the Shep got a new home in Mississippi.  This is NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

As soon as the house sells or is rented (whichever comes first) Nikki and her brother will be euthanized.  The son is not a dog lover and he claims to have checked with all his family and no one can take either of the dogs. 

Nikki is now 9 years old.  She is suffering horribly from the heat and allergies.  Her eyes are caked with yellow discharge.  She has always been an inside dog.  Mr. Brasher (the son) is using Nikki and the Shep to guard the house so they are kept outside (until the house sells).

I have no place to put Nikki so I asked if Mr. Brasher could donate any money for short-term boarding and he said "no."  And guess what?  He is an $$$$$ attorney $$$$$ for the man that owns all the topless clubs in Memphis.  CHEAPO ~!!! and cares so little about his parents' dogs - sickening!!!!!  Plus he has lied to his parents, telling them their dogs have a new home. 

Does anyone out there have an application that might work out for Nikki?  Both dogs are altered, fully vetted, and had yearly checkup 2 months old.  I will have her vet checked (get a copy of her previous records) and have her allergies treated at my vet IF.......... someone can help me get her into a home. 

Nikki a hero, who saved a life and now hers is worth nothing.  This sweet senior deserves to live the remainder of her life in a loving home.  What can we do to help Nikki?  Please email Donna at heartsofgoldpitrescue@yahoo.com.

**I am hoping we can keep them together but that would take a miracle.  I am sending the Shep's pics to mixed breed rescues in hopes of getting him into rescue.
