Help save Boujie, young adult Labrador retriever stranded at a BC resort

Category: Animal Welfare

Region: Canada

Target: Kim Morgan, Sharon and Stuart Soderberg, Mike Tovey

Description/History:
Boujie, the aforementioned dog, has been on the loose, without appropriate shelter and care, on the Point No Point property since July 6th, 2008. She got off leash at the time and has evaded capture ever since. Her reluctance to be approached is probably due to her previously having been a shelter with an apparent abusive past.

Since she has been abandoned by her previous owner, "legal ownership" has been transferred to Kim Morgan. of Sooke. But Boujie continues to avoid human contact and seeks shelter under different cabins at the Point No Point Resort, Sooke, BC, owned and operated by Sharon and Stuart Soderberg. And although resort staff have been leaving food out for her, it's apparent to those who have seen her that she has lost weight. It must then be assumed that she's not getting a full, balanced canine diet.

As the current weather poses a real threat to Boujie's life, it is obvious that she should be apprehended as soon as possible. Please remember, this is a domesticated dog with fur not suited for these harsh winter conditions. Further, her evasive behaviour indicates that she is deteriorating to a feral state.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, appeal to Kim Morgan, Sharon and Stuart Soderberg, and Mike Tovey (Head Kennel Master, CRD (Capital Regional District) Pound, Victoria, BC), to each act in a humane and responsible manner by placing Boujie's safe capture above all personal considerations. As nothing attempted so far has secured her safety, we ask you to reach out and accept help from people experienced in live trapping of feral and near feral dogs. Apparently, such offers have been made by your local animal rescue and welfare community.

Please, don't let Boujie die at Point No Point. Such an unnecessary, sad ending would tarnish the reputation of Point No Point Resort, and demean anyone currently in a position to save her. Surely, we all must agree that her life has worth.
