About this Dog

First and foremost, this little guy is the sweetest, most affectionate dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and just wants to love and be loved. He loves all people, young and old. Loves to go on walks, loves to be held, and is the best cuddler ever. He'd spend all day and night in bed in your arms. Now for the bad: He is super aggressive to all other dogs bigger than him. Has complete separation anxiety. The way he came to me is someone I barely knew asked me to watch him while he ran to the store, because it would be "faster", and then never came back. I waited for 24 hours in this person's camp, panicked and unsure how to proceed. I have searched extensively for him, and have since learned that he is addicted to fentanyl, and chose to leave the dog behind saying he'd be fine. I also have been informed that the person who left him originally found Orbit only two months earlier, tied to a fence outside of a church and just left there. That makes me ill to think about. My heart broke for him, and I refused be somebody else that abandoned him. Cant do it. Wont do it. So, for the past month have done everything I can to ensure that Orbit is fed, is safe, is happy, and knows that he is loved. I used to sublet a studio, but Because I refused to leave him at a shelter, I had to vacate the apartment, and we've been on the street for the last three weeks. Its not fair, but after the rain last night, I just cannot do it anymore. I've done all that I can, but Im at the end of my rope. I have no money, cannot go to a shelter with him, but most importantly, can't put him through another night being freezing and drenched. Im in love with him, will probably sob when leaving him, but his health and safety is the most important thing and I can no longer provide that. Please, somebody help. He eats good kibble, loves soft treats, has totally healthy poop and poop habits, and is also totally house-trained.

How will Orbit receive the contribution?

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Orbit, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Orbit's contribution here.

For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Orbit was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Orbit’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.

What happens to unclaimed funds?

We want the Orbit’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Orbit’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
