Petition to save Hunkie

May
6

A group called Concerned Putnam County Citizens & Dog Lovers has created an online petition to try to save Hunkie, the Lab who may be put down because he bit a shelter worker at the Putnam Humane Society. A shelter volunteer is trying to adopt the dog and the case is pending before state Supreme Court Justice Andrew P. O’Rourke….

The petition starts as follows….if you’d like to sign, click here.

Please give Margie Goudie the opportunity to rehabilitate Hunkie, the Labrador mix, currently in isolation and awaiting death at the Putnam County Humane Society for a bite attack on a Humane Society employee. Please give Hunkie a chance at life with her. Ms. Goudie is a competent dog handler who has successfully rehabilitated, with professional guidance, more than one behaviorally challenged dog she adopted from the Putnam County Humane Society. Ms. Goudie has been a dedicated volunteer at the Humane Society since 2000.
