6 days left to live and not a single person came to meet them today.
Jasper and Johnny will be euthanized Monday 8/17 at 4pm if they haven't been adopted.
Today they waited all day for someone to even ask to meet them.
No one came.
Their suffering while they wait is unbearable.
The shelter environment is torture for them.
To a point that's it's inhumane.
So today i took Johnny out.
I was ready to come back if someone came to meet him.
He doesn't know this could be his last week alive.
He's just happy to be out of the shelter.
Happy to be eating tots.
And mozzarella sticks.
And burgers.
and i didn't forget Jasper.
We headed on out too.
Johnny and i brought him 1/2 the burger and tots and mozzarella sticks too.
Johnny and Jasper have 6 days to find a home.
They are waiting at Maui humane society.
