Poppy, with Bella and Boots.

Please allow Poppy to live out his natural life.

Target:
Apple Tree Mobile Home park
Sponsored by: 
Poppy lives at Apple Tree Mobile Home Park in New Castle Colorado with his canine companions, Bella and Boots, and his human family.  Recently, the management of Apple Tree announced that only one dog per mobile home would be allowed.  Because Poppy's family had two dogs before moving, they had secured permission for two dogs, in writing, prior to the move.  They were sure that after explaining how they had come to have another, permission would be granted to keep all three.

Unfortunately, the management of Apple Tree did not agree.  They recognized that the family was "Grandfathered" and could keep two, but a third would have to go.  The family suggested that Poppy, at age 15 years, deaf, and with a heart condition, should be allowed to live out his natural life and no other dogs would be added.  The other two dogs, both 5 years old, would be kept as the two dogs the family is allowed.  Again, the management of Apple Tree did not agree. 

The family has been told that they must produce a Veterinary receipt for the euthanization of Poppy within 30 days or face eviction.  They do not have the money for a court fight, nor do they have the money to move their mobile home, yet they are desperate to save Poppy.  Please help us convince  the management of Apple Tree Mobile Home park to reconsider and allow Poppy to live out his natural life.

Pets like Poppy are just like our own children. An acception to the rule should be made!

With Poppy's age, he doesn't not have a long life left to live. Let him live it in peace.

I don't understand these cruel laws..The dog is cared for,they are a family, and because of some official norms the dog should be deprived of this happy life.The authorities should better watch other cases when animals are abused and help them, not vise versa!

As i get older, I realize that animals are much better to have around than people. I have a dog who is nearly 14, but I will not euthanize her. It's against the law to assist a human in suicide, it should be the same with our beloved pets.

Are the People who operate Apple Tree Mobile Home Park out of their collective minds or are they simply cold hearted callous individuals with no concern for the sanctity of God given Life. An exception to this new rule is in order and given the cicumstances I seriously doubt any of their other residents would object.

Give me a break. The dog is old. I agree. Let him live his remaining days. This is just outrageous behaviour on the part of Apple Tree. Yes the fur parents should not have assumed they would be granted 3 dogs despite the circumatances. But for God's sake have a heart. Or find a heart. An animal who is old and ill can not live much longer. Suck it up Apple Tree Management. MURDER is not an option. And it would be murder in my opinion

The human race is so cruel. He's one little dog with not that many years left to live. Why can't he stay with his family...? Shame on you for trying to Evict a helpless little Dog.....

Please let Poppy live with his family! It would not be right for him to find a new home away from his humans and canine companions,

Trying to force these people to kill their dog is just disgusting.

Please let this family AND Poppy stay! Poppy should be allowed to live until he lets his family know that it's time. And since that may be before too long, let the other dogs and family stay together in their home!!

Please god someone will see sense here. Poppy is old and infirm and is not long for this world anyway. Why break up a family because of rules. Please make an exception in this case.
