Sharon Anton

[Sandra Ward]

Hello all,

Here is what I know about the situation:

I've been told that Sharon's brother arrived in Guanajuato yesterday and is discussing arrangements for Sharon's funeral with her landlord, Landino Marcocchio.

Our immediate concern is finding homes for Sharon's five dogs and two cats. Sharon did not want them to go to a shelter in the event of her death. Landino has kindly offered to feed them for a month or two, but if they are not adopted by the end of the second month they will be euthanized. Meanwhile, donations of money for feeding and caring for them would be greatly appreciated. If you wish to make a donation, you can give it to Miko Mosher (mikomosher AT gmail DOT com) or me (wardsandra AT aol DOT com), and we will make sure the money is given directly to Landino.

I have asked for recent photographs and descriptions of the dogs and cats, and will share them with anyone who is interested when I receive them. I know that all Sharon's animals have been sterilized, vaccinated, and socialized. The dogs are mixed-breed and fairly large. One (a five-year-old) requires medication. If you know of anyone who might be willing to adopt one or more of the animals, please ask that person to contact Miko or me.

On page 7 of the attached Amigos de los Animales Newsletter is an article that Sharon wrote about her dogs a couple of years ago. The little dog Lucy, shown on the left in the photo that accompanied the article, has since died, but the others need homes.

Thanks,
Sandra Ward
