This is Marse he is a Border collie in Johnson City, TN about an hour away from Knoxville. Marse has been in the shelter for weeks and was brought in as a stary. I don't know how much time he has left. The people at the shelter said that he was "dumb" which I don't believe seeing that he is a Border collie. They didn't say that he was the worse dog or teh best dog but that he was just "okay."

I'm asking for help to pull this guy out and to hold him for just a few days. My Dad and I are going to come up Tennessee this weekend and would like to get Marse out of this animal control shelter. We'll pay the adoption fee back to whomever pulls him and holds him for a few days. Thank you so much to anyone that can help. I don't want to see him on death row.

He'll at least have to be caught up on shots and to have a physical, altered if he isn't already, food, medicine, etc......... Your plea is not thought out, it's from the heart, but not thought out, there is so much more money involved than just the adoption fee. That is, if this is even for real. I would advise anyone reading this post, or similar ones, to dismiss them as a scam. Does not make sense, and even if it did, the poster is not prepared for a dog, sad to say. There are reasons that shelters are strict about adoptions and require the fee. Sorry to those who don't understand, but better safe than sorry.

I think you miss read my post.

"We'll pay the adoption fee back to whomever pulls him and holds him for a few days."

I said that we'll pay it back, not never pay it.

I have the money for the adoption fee and for the vet bills. I have two Border collies of my own right now, one a year old and one a puppy. They're both very healthy and up to date on all of their shots.

I'm just asking for someone to pull the dog for me so it doesn't go on death row and so that it can be rescued. I live in GA so I can't go up there right now and get it; I have to wait until the weekend.
