I have actually tried calling a couple guys with dogs that I found on the internet. Unfortunately they all say that the window of opportunity has passed for a dog. Are you anywhere in the Eastern Ohio area by chance? I would be willing to compensate you for your time if you think your dog could make a difference. Or if you know anyone else who is could you refer them to me??? Thanks again.
