Ok, my Lawrenceburg neighbors, I need help. Nobody is coming forward to claim this baby. His big black pit bull body has fleas and ticks. I'm 77 and too old to handle him. I'll buy some flea spray to protect my home at least.

My neighbor and I have named him Meathead. I don't know how long he has been homeless, but I can't care for him. A couple of local Police Officers rolled through our street today and my neighbor flagged them down. They told me that Chad was their IT guy, not a detective.

What we have learned is that the Animal Control officer retired a short while ago, and the Animal Shelter is toast, bad news coverage and run by an out of county agency.

Update: Some folks have said the Animal Shelter is not toast, but they never returned my call!

Meathead needs to be adopted. My neighbor Jeff is entertaining the idea. Yesterday Meathead dragged me across the street to Jeff's front door, sat down, looked at me and said "knock".

But no commitment yet. Does anybody want this sweet dog?

My neighbor Daniel just gave Meathead a bath in my tub. I handled the water and the fluids, he's way stronger then me and Meathead handled it well. He has a pitbull back home and knows how to handle dogs.
