Houdini - Humane Society of Pulaski County

I sent an e-mail to HSPC about Houdini. The only thing they will tell me is that he had surgery and is recovering. I am SO FRUSTRATED with them!!! This is what I sent.


"I brought in a stray injured black Pomeranian on Monday, May 10. His name is Houdini. I had to surrender him to the HSPC in order for you to treat him. I really don't understand WHY I had to surrender him, nor do I understand why I can't be given information about his surgery or his condition other than "he is recovering." I kept Houdini in my home, fed him, sheltered him, and loved him for 5 days until I knew he needed to be seen by a veterinarian. I am unemployed and could not afford to take him to my own vet. Believe me, if I could have afforded it, he would have gone to Dr. Richard Allen whom I have used for many years with my own Pomeranians.

"Houdini was brought to me by my son and his fiancé. He had been running around their neighborhood for about a month. They put up flyers and asked everyone in their neighborhood, but no one would claim him. When they brought him to me he was here for about 3 hours before he managed to get out of my fenced back yard. He came back a few hours later, but managed to get out again. Every time he would get out, he would come back to my house even after being gone for 2 days and even though he was originally here for only 3 hours. I eventually managed to get him to trust me enough to put a collar on him and a leash, got him in a kennel and brought him in the house. He would let me take him out, walk on a leash, and come back in the house and go right back in his kennel.

"HE TRUSTS ME.

"Please explain to me why you won't tell me about his surgery or his true condition. There are no privacy laws about animals. I brought him to you. I have invested time and money in him, and fell in love with him in the process.

"I have had Pomeranians for many years, and would love to give him a forever home."


I wish I had never taken him out there. I wish I had called Dr. Allen and made some kind of arrangements with him - no matter the cost. At least I would still have Houdini.
