Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Delilah and I am a 5 year young Neapolitan Mastiff. The story of my life so far is a sad one. I originated in Stanton Island, NY. That is where my microchip was registered. Somehow, I ended up in a rural area of KY called Owensboro. It is unknown how I got there, but I wasnÂÂ’t very happy there. My owner there kept me outside and chained to a tree. They didnÂÂ’t take care of me. I then ended up at the animal shelter where my health was so bad, I was going to be euthanized. A nice lady from Northern KY stepped in, and set up a transport and got me up to Northern KY. When the nice lady first saw me, she started to cry. Apparently I looked pretty bad. She hugged me and told me that “everything would be ok.” I was taken to a very nice foster home where a nice couple did their best to keep me comfortable. It wasnÂÂ’t easy, because I was severally emaciated and in a lot of pain. My nails were so long that I could hardly walk, I was severally underweight which made it difficult for me to walk, and I also had the worst case of Demadex that the Vet had ever seen. It took months to clear it up. Because of the Demadex, I lost a lot of fur. My skin was so bad, it was falling off in chunks. The nice lady even put together a fundraiser for me to raise funds to help with my medical bills!! A month after I was in adoptable condition (although still undergoing treatment for my Demadex), I was approved to be adopted to a furever home. (or so I thought) My rescue advised the lady that I donÂÂ’t play very nice with other dogs. After numerous in depth conversations, as well as her experience with fostering and socializing rescue dogs, my rescue agreed to let me be adopted. Boy was that a mistake!! I have been told by my rescue that owner actually wanted to have me euthanized!!! All because I donÂÂ’t like to be around other dogs. I was staying in a very unstable home, on top of being with two other dogs and the lack of stability stressed me out. I actually played well with the other doggies in the home for awhile. Things started to change in my home and it caused me stress. For awhile, my owner refused to even let me go back to my rescue. She was set on having me euthanized. The nice lady in KY fought for weeks and weeks to save my life! She finally succeeded and convinced the owner to return me to my rescue. While spending countless hours contacting transports and different rescues for help to get me back to KY. I just recently returned to KY and am currently living in a dog free foster home. I must go to a laid back home with NO other dogs. My rescuer refuses to put me through anything like that again. I am very thankful of that, because I am such a calm, laid back dog. I am so happy just laying at your feet and napping. So that is my story. Do you have what it takes to provide me with a loving, calm, laid back furever home? If so, please contact Angie More at 859-250-9396 or pawsandclawsanimalrescue@gmail.com for more information about me. If you are unable to adopt me, you can help by making a donation on my behalf to save the next animals that are brought into this rescue. Donations can be mailed to: Paws & Claws Animal Rescue, Inc., PO Box 223, Hebron KY 41048 or can make a secure donation online at http://pawsclawsanimalrescue.weebly.com. Delilah is UTD on shots, microchipped, and spayed. She also knows basic obedience commands.
