  Calling on the FC family members that are pet parents, dog-people and those that are willing to help save a life.   :dog:

     There's a petition that still needs 3717 more signatures, it would be great if the family could have them all by the end of today, Sunday May 19th!!  (I have signed the petition, it did not result in any unwanted spam or solicitation). 
     
     Please help by signing the petition and getting the word out to others (via Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.)  Find the petition at: https://www.change.org/petitions/mayor-gary-brown-and-the-city-of-salem-mo-do-the-right-thing-and-move-to-vacate-the-order-to-execute-phineas-2

     Post below if you think it would be so wonderful to have a part in getting Phineas back to his little girl (and family) and see this story have a happy ending...

I signed the petition.  It sounds as though somebody really screwed up as the dog should have been returned to the family months ago.

Thank you, I hope so too.  How sad to lose her dog when it was only trying to protect her.  My yellow lab is very protective of the cats.  When they start playing with each other and it sometimes gets out-of-hand and one of them will get a little MAD and start playing too rough.  My lab will go grab the one making trouble in her mouth and she has sometimes tried to drag one away from the other.  She's never broken the skin on them but more than once she has had cat bites/scratches on herself.  Just think...if the dog were human and the cats were dogs, the cats would be on death row.  :o

UPDATE ON COURT APPEARANCE

Major win today! The city is giving up possession of Phineas to a veterinarian to be cared for while litigation continues. Instead of $5.00 impound fee, they are now charging $10.00 impound fee which we will try and fight but at least we know he will be safe.

The appellate court granted a stay and sent it to the local court to determine whether there should be a bon...d. The court set the amount of the bond bond to $1300.00

We also went to asked the court to appoint a guardian for Phineas. The court was afraid to rule on that leaving it to the appellate court .

Please keep sharing, donate if you can and Phineas in your thought And prayers.

*** Update is from the Save Phineas Facebook page, the FC site locked me out before I could add this to the post yesterday.

I hope things work out. I would hate it if anything bad happened. I understand how the other family feels but it is not right to take his life for doing his job. We expect dogs to protect us and when they do it we have to back them. :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11: :angel11:

Thanks to ALOT of caring people, society & "the times" will be changing for the better hopefully.  This whole situation is just wrong and now the family can't even have their dog back if they WIN because of threats made by others to shoot Phineas on site.   :angry7:

Here is Phineas with the only family he has even known since he was 6 weeks old. He hasn't seen them in 11 months thanks to mayor Gary brown. Look at Phineas' smile. It's heartbreaking that he can't go home to them after this is over.

This smile is for all my supporters, my family but especially TLP and my super hero Joe Simon, attorney with TLP who made this visit with my family possible.

Save Phineas currently has 121k "LIKES" on the FaceBook page...

They are still looking for 15,158 signatures on his petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/mayor-gary-brown-and-the-city-of-salem-mo-do-the-right-thing-and-move-to-vacate-the-order-to-execute-phineas-2

$6,815 in donations raised of $10,000 goal.  (Donations needed for court expenses/bonds--the lawyers are pro bono, and care) 

     Link for donating and alot more info on how one can help Phineas can be found on the Save Phineas Facbook page.

     Please help in any way you can.  Please share & reshare to get the word out.  Please pray and keep the faith.  Time is running out for this dog on death row.  If this dog had did what he did ("mouthed a girl, did not break the skin to pull her off the top of his little human girl that she fell on) to get her out of a burning building---this dog would have been a Hero!!  Instead, the city officials have abused him for almost a year and would rather use the town's money and have him destroyed rather than let him go home!!  The more publicity this dog gets, the better for him!! :heart:

     Thanks so much for all who are helping!!
