Today Mckenzie went from a lonely life on the railway tracks to a bed at a hotel
McKenzie
Today McKenzie went from a lonely life on the railway tracks to a bed at our volunteer's hotel. This poor girl was seen by KAT 5 volunteer Bob when he was trapping for Theo last week. Bob tried to catch her throughout that night. Some children said that they knew of this dog and other kids were throwing rocks and sticks at her.

Earlier tonight Don and Bob trapped this poor girl now named McKenzie. Locals say that they are relieved that we have taken her because they have been worried about her safety for the past year that she has been in the area. A source on the scene said that dog fighters have been trying to trap her. There was a makeshift trap along the fence-line.

McKenzie will need some TLC. Tonight she is sleeping on a bed at KAT 5 volunteer Don's hotel and asking for pets. McKenzie is taking treats from people's hands. McKenzie is the the 4th abused rot that we have rescued during our search for Theo. (One, Roxie, is at rescue now so we have 3 to place once they are vetted).

Theo is still at large. Traps are being set and we are very hopeful. As of 12:32 AM an animal was seen almost going into the trap but ran away. Don thinks that it may have been Theo...

thanks for saving this sweet girl! Thank goodness she did not land in the hands of those dogfighters!!

Ever since I read the first story about these non-Theo rescues, I've been pretty angry about the kids throwing things at Mckenzie. But if they made her so wary of people that she avoided the dogfighters' trap, then maybe they saved her life. It's a funny world.

Anyway, thank you for being a lifeline for these Rotts. Perhaps Theo is done leading you to Rotties who need help just like he did, and he's ready to walk up to Murphy and say, "Take me home." I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Please continue updates on the other rescued Rotties, as well as the hunt for Theodore!

Ellie, Goliath and McKenzie are all doing well. There is a potential adopter for Goliath!

I hope that Theo is fond today...

Theo is found (see main story) and Goliath met his potential adopter today!

I will continue to update. Thank you for your help & encouragement.
