URGENT - doggie needs foster home ASAP

We received the following e-mail through our doggie networks.  If you can help, please e-mail us and we'll pass along the contact info of the person who e-mailed us ASAP:

"I know its an odd request and mass emails aren't typical of me but this is a special case.

I've been involved working with a great dog with a troubled past at the Delta Animal Shelter for the past 6 months.  The dog is an amazing mastiff/sheppard cross named Teresa.  She's a BIG girl, close to 170 lbs.  She was found abandoned and had been abused.  As a result of this abuse, she was initially cautious of people and even aggressive at times towards men (her abuser was likely a man).  In the past 6 months, I have watched her rehab into a well adjusted and very affectionate dog.

Unfortunately, because of her size and her troubled past, the shelter has so far been unable to find her a suitable home.

She will be put-down this weekend.

I have tried desperately to rescue her, even offering to financially support her at the shelter until a home can be found, but the shelter has made up its mind.  In a last-ditch effort, I am asking for any assistance you might offer in terms of finding a home for Teresa.  She needs lots of space and a family that is comfortable with big dogs.

Please contact me if you have a possible home in mind and I would be happy to answer any question you might have."

Please help us spread the word - and let's see if we can help give this doggie a second chance.
