Help urgently needed for this Pit Bull!

[Horsefeathers!]

Can anyone help King? He's a three legged Pit (or Pit mix) that gets along well with other dogs, cats and kids. His owner is in southern Florida and is apparently having to make a quick trip back home to Minnesota. She only recently moved to Florida and it apparently hasn't worked out. She sounds desperate. I've "known" her on some boards (some of you may as well) for the last couple of years or so, and I have every reason to believe King is a wonderful dog. If I could, I'd take him, myself.

Is there anyone here along the way from Florida to Minneapolis that could help, or direct us to someone that might be able to help? She also has a kitty named Misty, and she would like to keep them together, but I imagine will take whatever help she can get. Even if you know of a special needs group (since King has only three legs) that could help, we can try.

Here's a thread regarding King and Misty on another board. There are pictures included. I wish I could do more to help. :(

OMD! King is so adorable!

I don't know if this would help her situation any or not, but the rescue shelter I adopted my three from (in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area) definitely takes in special needs dogs (see my post on the Chihuahua on the EAD board). The dogs are all housed in foster homes until they're adopted. They've had several hard-to-adopt dogs who have been on their site for quite a while, and they will be in the foster homes forever if they're not adopted.

Thanks, JM! I'll pass this along to her. From the tone of her post, though, after reading back through it, I'm not even sure if she's going to be able to take King with her back to Minneapolis. I hope so!
