Blue Samaritan

Good Samaritans come in every size and shape. Age and gender. We've gotten to know one Good Samaritan who rescues dogs on San Antonio's streets. In her real life she's a police officer. But her true love is saving dogs.



She brought Molly to us the other day. She said a radio call went out for an officer to help collar a vicious dog. When she arrived at the scene she found Molly, a German short-haired pointer. She was about as vicious as Charles Schultz's "Snoopy."



The dog catcher from the city pound was on the scene. He said Molly would be killed in a couple of days if she went to the city shelter.



So our Blue Samaritan did what she has done before. She took Molly home for the night and brought her to ADL the next morning. If she had room at her house Molly would have stayed right there. But the next best choice was ADL since we are a no-kill shelter.



If only dogs could talk. Molly was obviously well cared for before she ended up on the streets. But she did not have a micro-chip or a tag of any kind. No way to find her humans. She's barely two years old and a lover if there ever was one.



Now she's just waiting for her forever home. She'll make a fabulous companion for anyone who's looking for a wonderful girl.
