OKLAHOMA CITY - A STRAY dog who survived an attempt to put him to sleep at an animal shelter has become a canine celebrity, with thousands seeking to adopt him, an appearance on a national television show and growing concerns about his safety as his fan base increases.
Wall-E was among several dogs abandoned by the Sulphur Animal Shelter less than a month ago. A local veterinarian tried to euthanise the puppy due to overcrowding, but he somehow survived.
Now, about 3,000 people have expressed interest in adopting him and US$1,200 (S$1,535) has been donated for his care. He was flown to New York City to appear on Good Morning America.
Concerns about his safety have also arisen as some people have said they want to breed him to make money. Because of this, Wall-E has been going home with a designated individual each night, rather than staying at the clinic.
Plans are to have Wall-E neutered before he is sent to a new home.ORIGINAL SOURCE
