I sent an email to their main address before I knew about this one and got this response today:

Hi, Shara.
Your concern for a friend is admirable. Our foster/adoption
program volunteers are concerned about the welfare of the
dogs in our care. Decisions are based on the best interest
of the pet, and with finding an environment that is best
suited for the particular breed.

We hope that you can appreciate that any details pertaining
to adoption applicants are not discussed with individuals
not involved in the adoption screening process.

Sincerely,
Dan Lee
S.C.H.S.P.C.A. volunteer
Also I sent an email to the neighbouring greenville shelter asking if they were affiliated and got this response:

Shara,

We are not affiliated with any other shelters; we are a private,
non-profit.
You might want to find out if the organization is government ran and go
from there. If they are a county facility, you (or your friend) can
speak with the county council if the problem warrants it. Thanks

They won't say anything good about Jess, Charlie or the foster mom. It seems like they are defending Dorothy Day to the end.

This is what I wrote. Any changes you feel should be made, Jess?


Dear Ms. Elaine Hunter,

This email concerns Charlie the Catahoula Mix who has been in foster care for over a year.

I am a member of the Chazhound Dog Forum, and I am sure you have already received a lot of emails from members.

Jessica, a well-liked member and friend of the forum, saw Charlie on Petfinder.com, and immediately felt a connection. She made arrangements to meet Charlie, and everything went excellent. Charlie’s foster mother felt Jessica was right for him, and she was approved. The adoption was to be made final on Thursday (June 22). Jessica was very excited, and looking forward to caring for Charlie.

Unfortunately, last Saturday (June 17), Jessica informed us that the adoption would not be happening. Dorothy Day, Adoption/Foster Coordinator, told her that she could not adopt Charlie, for a weak reason. Her yard is 30’ by 30’. This is actually a non-problem. That is a good-sized yard. I have a 100 lb. Mastiff mix and a yard less than 30’ by 30’, and she is fine with it. You have to take into consideration the fact that Charlie will be taken for walks as well.

Jessica is very upset right now. And I can only imagine the depression that Charlie is going through. He has never experienced a stable, loving, forever home, which Jessica would provide. As a young puppy, Charlie was carefree, happy, and hopeful. I fear that he is losing that hope as more time passes by.

Please do not let Jessica and Charlie be denied. Dorothy Day has not seen Charlie, and only his foster mother would know what is right for him, and she approved Jessica.

Thank you for your time,

****

Throwing a dog in a backyard isnt sufficient exercise anyways, regardless of breed. I swear, its harder to adopt a dog in need than buying one from a breeder. Thats why so many people go to BYB's they dont feel like dealing with these obnoxious adopting people.

No its not...of course me and Chloe go to Petsmart all the time there is a park within walking distance (its not an off-leash park) but they have a LARGE walking track, I still have a large yard, the fence is just in a corner of the yard..your right GSDlover..

Here's a copy of my email I sent her. I bet most people already emailed her with all the stuff that I have wrote but it doesn't hurt to keep mentioning it. I hope we can help you I think Charlie is your dog you need him and he needs you.



Dear Ms. Elaine Hunter


I am writing in response to the almost adoption of a dog named Charlie. Charlie has been in foster care since a young age and is now 14 months old. A woman that I know from an online forum had attempted to adopt him and had been declined. Jessica is a very good person, an exceptional dog owner to her own dog and to any future dogs she would get. She attempted to adopt Charlie and give him a loving home and a caring permanent owner. She met with the foster mom and the foster mom agreed that Jessica would be a good owner for this poor dog who has been in foster care basically his whole life. Jessica was thrilled and excited to be getting the opportunity to own this beautiful dog and was anticipating picking him up from his foster family to come and live with her and her present dog. Unfortunetely the adoption/foster coordinator, Dorothy Day, felt that they would not be a good match, giving the reasoning of her only having a 30x30 fenced in yard. I don't feel this reasoning is just and would like to inquire about somebody else possibly interviewing Jessica in order to see if she could adopt Charlie. I don't see how the size of her yard could be the determining factor of her adopting Charlie. I think Charlie could benefit greatly from the care and love she could provide for him. She is not the kind of person to leave a dog in a yard for it's whole life she would provide him with love and attention more than you could possibly believe. She will provide Charlie with the kind of mental and physical stimulation he would need to live a happy and wonderful life. Is there any way she could be reconsidered as Charlie's permanent home. Thank you for taking the time to read my email and I really hope there is some way this whole situation can be taken care of in a positive manner.

Thank You,
Julie Furry
