Save Bingo the K9


Save Bingo the K9
The Issue
Please help us provide justice to Bingo and Drew. We want to bring Bingo home to his family where he belongs, where he's been since he was a puppy. Share everywhere and with anyone.
Bingo, the local (Northern Colorado) hospital K9, has been removed from his handler with the intention of sending him to Arizona. He had been with Drew Wurtz for the past 2 years. Drew is the only owner Bingo has ever known. He's Bingo's person. His family is Bingo's family.
Anyone who has met Bingo knows that he is the most docile German Sherperd you'll ever meet. He is well trained in his "work" and listens to Drew's commands with great attention. The reason for him being removed from Drew's care is not due to violence or a scary incident. It is because Bingo has a difficult time wanting to "work" and perform when muzzled. He kind of just shuts down like a shy child. He still listens, but doesn't like the muzzle. It's bulky and huge. Banner Health has decided that since Drew would not force a muzzle on Bingo (after all this time), then he needs to be shipped to Arizona and be placed into the care of a stranger. When there's a more obvious solution that doesn't involve abandonment and betrayal issues.
They could retire Bingo, but instead they refuse. They refuse to acknowledge Bingo's previous accomplishments in the role of K9 and afford him the justice and respect of being retired to the care of his only true family.
They have him locked in a kennel for an undetermined amount of time waiting to be shipped to Arizona. Imagine your own animal and how it'd feel to know they thought you'd abandoned them suddenly.
PLEASE SIGN WITH THE HOPES THAT THIS REACHES THE RIGHT PERSON AND BINGO IS SENT BACK HOME TO DREW WURTZ WHERE HE BELONGS.
