Yes he still posts. I think his wife is on here too. And AB said it perfectly. I'm going to PM you my number Dawn. Please keep in touch with me as to what happens.

If there is a way to get Franklin to Alabama I know of a rescue there that takes in Filas, so they know about aggression. Unfortunately, it is too late to call tonight but I would be willing to try and call her in the morning.

I am on Fb.

Franklin just jumped on the bed and started giving me kisses and licking my tears away. It amazes me how much he loves me after everything I've screwed up in his life.

Sent in a PM (message below).. anyone in the TX area that could help to transport a EM? Could use a few different folks, trying to get a EM from TX to AL. Thanks for your consideration, PM me for my contact info.

Hi Dawn,

I've read a good number of your post and posted on some of your threads about getting Franklin in the car I believe. My wife and I work with Southern States Mastiff rescue, however they don't take dogs with prior agression history. I'd be willing to take him personally & work with him to see if I could get him stable enough, for you to either take him back or to have SSMR place him in a qualified home (they have a wide network & do courtesy listings) Home - Southern States Mastiff Rescue.

Also there are (2) very well known face book groups for EM's, we could post to see if anyone would foster him. The issue I'm going to have is I'm leaving Friday for vacation & will be gone for work until 6/17.

I will post this same message on your thread and see if we can have anyone pick him up, and form a chain back to AL.

P.S. Send me a recent pic of him and anything you'd want me to include on the FB posting, contact info etc.

Sorry your going through a storm right now in your life, I can't say I've been where you are but I can say I've been thru more storms than I ever cared to experience. Many times I leaned on this scripture Psalms 30 "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."

Also I'll share lyrics to one of my favorite songs, this song is about a father that finds out about his child having terminal cancer, but it applies to many things just the same.

"Praise You In This Storm"

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

- Josh

Josh, bless you!!!! You are amazing & I am so very glad I thought of you in this instance! I sent my friend a text who used to do a lot of rescue work out in East Texas to see if we couldn't possibly arrange transport from Arlington to at least the LA state line maybe even further. If I figure something out I'll be in touch.

Oh my this is such a sad and heart breaking thread. Sadies Mom and Josh you two are amazing! Good luck to you Dawn. I know how dark things may seem at the moment, I have lived through some pretty bleak times and its scarey but I promise you things do and will get better. You will look back on this and remember the love you feel here more than anything. Keep strong, there is always a reason for everything. My thoughts are with you.

Well, I haven't slept all night but I have good news, and bad news. I got my $600 at 2:30 this morning...that's the good news.
The bad news is that i still need $100 more before 8:00. I guess that deposit won't get here until tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who is trying to help me save my Franklin.
