HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

*****************************************************************************************************

1. ADOPT and save a LIFE!   6 million killed each year. "Don't breed or buy when homeless pets die!"

2.  SPAY/NEUTER your dog and/or cat.

3.  VOLUNTEER at a SHELTER.

4.  DONATE money and/or supplies to a SHELTER or RESCUE

5.  SPONSOR an animal at a shelter, rescue or sanctuary.

6.  FOSTER a dog or cat at a SHELTER or at a RESCUE.

7.  SUPPORT and promote animal protection LEGISLATION. According to a 2008 report released by
       ALDF,
Kentucky ranks dead last in the nation in its laws protecting animals.

8.  EDUCATE your family and friends about humane treatment of animals.

9.  JOIN an animal related ORGANIZATION.

10.  Offer to DRIVE a leg of a TRANSPORT.

11. Act RESPONSIBLY!  Adopting a dog, cat, or any animal is a LIFELONG commitment.

12.  RECOMMEND this website to a friend, post to a group, and/or cross-post!  http://www.kycentral.org/
        One seemingly simple act may save a life!

Animal advocacy is, in a certain sense, standing up to tell true life stories that are not being heard; true life stories that most people are ignoring. The first step in animal advocacy is to help people see things differently. Animals are somebody, not something. ~Tom Regan

POSTED 3/11   KENTUCKY IS RATED THE #1 STATE TO BE AN ANIMAL ABUSER

http://www.care2.com/causes/animal-welfare/blog/2009-five-best-and-worst-states-for-animal-abuse/

SLAUGHTERS, KY - Injured dog- broken leg - no medical help

Please watch this video from the Webster County Dog Pound taken on March 10, 2010. This dog entered the dog pound on March 3, 2010 and has not been provided any medical attention. As you can see from the video the dog's leg is clearly broken and the bone can be seen from each side of the dog's leg. The dog warden for Webster County is John Dunn and he needs to be terminated from his position. He has refused to allow this dog any medical attention. This is not the first time this abuse has occurred.

http://drop. io/9emtlpc/ asset/wcdp- mov?ref=yahoo
The dog's leg is completely broken and dangling.

ATTENTION:  AS OF 1:00 PM THE DOG WARDEN AND JUDGE EXECUTIVE CLAIM THAT THE DOG IN QUESTION WITH THE BROKEN LEG HAS RECEIVED VETERINARY CARE.  THAT INFORMATION IS FALSE.

OUR LOCAL VETERINARIAN DR. GEORGE STEEDLY AT TRADEWATER ANIMAL CLINIC IN PROVIDENCE , KY , 270-667-2033 HAS NOT SEEN OR TREATED THIS DOG.

NEWS CHANNEL 25 ARRIVED AT THE DOG POUND AT NOON, BUT WERE NOT ALLOWED IN. THEY WERE TOLD THAT NO ONE WOULD BE ALLOWED INTO THE DOG POUND TODAY.

GIVEN THAT, THERE IS NO PROOF THAT THE DOG HAS BEEN VETTED AND NO BODY.  THE DOG WARDEN IS NOT ALLOWING ANYONE INSIDE THE DOG POUND TO VERIFY THAT THE DOG IS GONE.   THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE DOG IS STILL IN THE DOG POUND AND THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING ANYONE IN TO SEE IT BECAUSE THEY FEAR THE TROUBLE THAT THEY ARE IN.

THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT THE DOG WAS SURRENDERED BY B. GREEN IN SLAUGHTERS, KY.,  ON MARCH 3, 2010 .  THE DOG REMAINED IN THE DOG POUND, UNVETTED FOR AT LEAST 7 DAYS, AND ALLOWED TO SUFFER BY THE DOG WARDEN AND COUNTY.

SUPPOSEDLY THE DOG WAS ATTACKED BY A "PIT BULL," BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT B. GREEN STATES. SHE STATES THAT A "LARGE DOG" CAME INTO HER YARD AND ATTACKED THE DOG. UPON BEING PICKED UP. THE DOG WARDEN TOLD B. GREEN THAT THE WOUND OBVIOUSLY WAS FROM BEING SHOT.

UPDATE:  AT 1:30PM THE STATE POLICE SHOWED UP AND ACCOMPANIED THE NEWS CREW DOWN TO THE WEBSTER COUNTY DOG POUND.  DOG WARDEN JOHN DUNN ATTEMPTED TO REFUSE ACCESS, BUT THE STATE TROOPER INSISTED THAT HE WAS PRESSING CHARGES, AND THAT HE WOULD BE GRANTED ACCESS.  MR. DUNN THEN ALLOWED THE STATE TROOPER INSIDE, BUT NOT THE NEWS CREW.

UPDATE: 4:00 PM March 11:  We have confirmation that the dog with the broken leg from Webster County was humanely euthanized. Upon the dog warden learning of the video he immediately took the dog to a veterinarian and had it euthanized.  Animal cruelty charges are being pressed against him as we speak for the week that it suffered.

This dog did not die for nothing. Hopefully the end result will be the removal of the county dog warden.

Rosco~Housebrkn~ Greyhound, Shepherd [Mix] Large Adult Male

  Greyhound Picture We are Rosco and Honey and we are very sad, a couple of weeks ago our mommy died and then we had to go away. We were so happy with our home, our own kids and a mommy that loved us more than you will ever know. Our kids had to move away and they couldn't take us with them. We would like to stay together.. You see I am a bit timid and Honey protects me and makes me feel safe. We know a lot of people don't want two dogs, but we are good dogs and we don't tear up anything. Our mommy was the best, but we have been told that there are other people out there like her. We're waiting to see.

Beagle Picture Stray Approx Age: 18 months Approx Weight: 3 0lbs  Good w/ other dogs: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15949153?recno=16

Amber~Please!!~ Treeing Walker Coonhound Large Adult Female

Treeing Walker Coonhound PictureEvery year thousands of hounds like Amber are abandoned or left to fend for themselves because they will not or can not hunt. To the owners they are a piece of expendable property to be discarded when it is no longer useful. We see Amber and these other hounds as precious gifts that with time , work, patience, and lots of love can be lifelong companions. Each time Amber gives us kisses we see her soul shining in her eyes and her potential to make someone's life a happier and healthier place. Please give Amber the chance for a life that she has never know. Give her a real home today! http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15828282?recno=0

Duke~Deaf~ German Shepherd Dog Extra Large Young Male
DEAF German Shepherd Dog Picture Poor Duke is a beautiful German Shepherd who is looking for a new home! He is very sweet and loves getting attention! Duke is extremely intelligent and needs to find a home where he will have plenty to do to stay busy! In his old home, Duke would climb their fence and escape whenever he got bored, so we think that it would be best for Duke to go to an experienced dog owner who is willing to keep him indoors primarily. Duke is a wonderful dog and likes most other dogs! He is not recommended to go to a home with cats or small children. Because he is deaf, he can be startled easily. Just take one look into the soulful brown eyes of this sweet boy and you will want to save his life by making him a part of yours http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15864486?recno=21
Hamlet~Please Help~ Chow Chow

Large Baby Male

 


Chow Chow Picture **Update: Hamlet is NOT available for adoption yet. Yesterday he broke with Parvo virus and is fighting for his life. Our shelter is treating five different dogs for Parvo and we are really struggling to pay the bills. We will continue to post updates on Hamlet's health. Please consider making a donation to help us with Hamlet's care and the care of the other sick puppies. You can call 270-783-9404 and make a donation over the phone.*** Little Hamlet is a gorgeous black Chow with the cutest big, fluffy coat!!! He loves to be held and snuggled and is learning the joy of playing with toys in his kennel! Hamlet was originally taken from a "free to good home" ad in the newspaper and his owner just wasn't prepared to train and care for a puppy, so he ended up at our shelter.   http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15917172?recno=5

Harley Flat-coated Retriever [Mix] Large Young Female
 
Flat-Coated Retriever PictureTransferred from another county to avoid euthanasia. Check this little girl out!!! Harley is a beautiful little retriever mix puppy who is so sweet and gentle and would make a wonderful family pet!!! When she came to us, poor Harley was covered in mud but we could see two big, soulful brown eyes looking up at us through all of the filth and she stole a place in our hearts. Harley is about 6 months old and came to us with her twin sister, marley. Harley is the smaller of the two and is also the more shy of the two. She loves to be snuggled and cuddled, through, and we are hoping to find her a great indoor home where she will really be part of the family!!!  http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15916681?recno=11
Leo~Needs Rescue~ Chow Chow

Large Baby Male


Chow Chow Picture Leo is a special boy who has not had the right start in life. Unfortunately Leo's owners failed him in this. He was left to run loose outdoors without supervision, and when a neighborhood child saw the adorable pup she went to play with him, and Leo, not knowing her, bit her. That is how he ended up at the shelter, so that he could be quarantined for the bite. Once at the shelter, Leo did act aggressively towards the shelter staff, but after a few days started to warm up to me, and I have been able to work with him. He is now great with me, and has come around a great deal with other staff members. It is obvious that Leo is a smart boy, he has not had one potty accident in his cage, and is eagerly awaiting to be taken out every morning so that he can go potty. Leo is super eager to please, and will respond well to training. Due to the fact that Leo has bitten we cannot adopt him out, but we are hoping that a rescue can step forward and give him the fresh start in life he deserves. Please let us know soon if you are able or interested in him, and if you have any further questions about him we will be glad to answer them. You can email me directly, as Leo has bonded with me, and I have gotten to know him very well, lisa_henderson79@yahoo.com http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15931415?recno=22

Sassy~SAD~Spaniel [Mix] Small Senior Female 

Spaniel PictureWhat a sad story Ms. Sassy has!! Her former owner treated her like a queen, but sadly, she is now too sick to care for Sassy anymore. This sweet girl is so scared and confused here at the shelter, wondering why her mom has not come for her. Sassy is really laid-back and would love to find herself in a calm home with a family that has lots of time to spend with her. She is so timid here but we can see in her eyes how much she wants to be loved and how many more years she has to offer her new family. Sassy is in great health for her age, including eyes and teeth. We also know that Sassy likes to go for rides in the car and snuggle with her person in bed at night. Please don't force this sweet senior lady to spend any more lonely nights on these cold concrete floorshttp://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15917894?recno=22

SAR 1032 Domestic Short Hair Small Young Male URGENT!

This girl is still a KITTEN and has had such a hard life, and has now found herself in a bad DESPERATE situation at the shelter! Her chances for making it out alive are slim unless someone opens their heart and home to one poor soul who is SO DESERVING of another chance for a family and life of love! She is underweight and has obviously had a hard time, but still sweet and has the potential for many years of love and companionship ahead of her. YOU COULD SAVE HER!

Please! Go meet this young girl, and see into her sweet heart – please give her a chance! Many others have passed her by and judged her from the outside, which she cannot help! Adoption procedures are so simple! Only $45 includes a vaccine and a micro-chip – a GREAT deal, and includes the deposit for spay surgery, very cheap! Consider adding her to your family! She is in danger. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15963689?recno=3

Doberman Pinscher PictureTrudy: SPARED FOR 1 WEEK BY TECHNICALITY. Remember our Ewoky girl Trudy?  Turns out she was 1 day short of attendance at the shelter to be PTS today.  We're working on getting better pictures of her. Girl is way cuter than she looks here. She is listed as a Doberman mix, but I wonder what her true mix is. There may be a touch of Sharpei, too. She certainly has the wrinkles for it. She is fine with other dogs. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15920985?recno=13

SHADE Cane Corso Mastiff [Mix] Small Baby Female Pet ID: A402265 RESCUE PENDING!
Shade" is a 4 month old Presa Canario / Cane Corso mix pup needing rescue. Shade is going to be a big girl but she's still a little sweetheart at this point. Destined to be a big sweetheart, we guess. She's currently 3-4 months old and she's very friendly. She loves people and other dogs. She likes to give kisses and is very comfortable with people she's just met. She's very soft and very friendly. Basically, Shade is a happy, wiggly puppy. If you would like to contact us about this dog, please have the ID# A402265 handy. Thanks  http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15625354

TERRENCE Shih Tzu, Pug [Mix] Small Adult Male Dog Pet ID: A403975 ADOPTED!

Shih Tzu PictureTerrance is sweet. He's affectionate but not clingy. Terrance is probably around 2 years old. MAS cannot guarantee an animal is housebroken, but Terrance did go outside and to a private spot to relieve himself, which is an excellent sign. He likes his kennel mates a lot and loves to play, so he'd do well in a household that already has a dog. He can be energetic as he runs around the yard and plays, but he also settles down nicely for quiet time with humans. If you would like to contact MAS about this dog, please have the ID# (403975) handy. Thanks! http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15713248

Northern, KY: Horses Available for Adoption

****************************************************************************************************
POSTED 3/14

CONTACT: info@speakupforhorses.org

In November of 2009 Speak Up for Horses was given possession of 48 Quarter Horses which were seized by law enforcement after a conviction for animal cruelty. They were going to be sold to a kill buyer for slaughter. These horses are all reining bred, however we do not have registration papers on any of them. We are looking for adopters for these horses. There are all ages and genders. Since the previous owner had the stallions running the farm with the mares, we believe most, if not all the mares are pregnant.

Speak Up's adoption contract requires that all males be gelded and that no horses can be used for breeding. The horses are presently located in Northern Kentucky.

Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested in adopting one of these lovely horses.

Any interested person may go to our website for further information and pictures of most of the available horses:

http://speakupforhorses.org/adoption.lasso

We require the attached adoption application to be filled out and returned to us for review.
Our standard adoption contract applies.
Please e-mail inquiries to Speak Up for Horses, Inc.

Thank you,

These two baby girls need to be adopted. I adore them and would love to keep them, but I cannot afford six dogs at this time. I'm keeping them until they have a home, but would love for them to have a family to love them and play with them. They were left on the side of the road and my co-worker found them. They're about 10 to 12 weeks old, have been wormed but not vaccinated yet. Both female. Both WONDERFUL.

I work til 5 on weekdays but leave a message.
I am in Corbin, KY which is about an hour north of Knoxville, TN.
They answer to Apple (tan) and Breezy (black and tan) and are working on being house 'broken.'

POSTED 3/13

Babette has been at the Leichfield, KY shelter for (5) yrs. Sweet as pie--just needs to be an only dog! Babette has been at the shelter since 2006! She is good with kids, but would be best suited as an only pet in a home. She loves playing, especially with large rocks. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: A shelter friend paid for an Ancestry test for our beautiful Babette which shows that Babette tested as Level 1: Boxer which she proudly displays in her one picture. Babette is sponsored. All she needs is a chance. Contact Donna White: dwhite@aggressiveonline.net or call (270) 230-8839.

Hi--my name is Babette and I love to play! I will fetch a ball for a long time! In fact, I love to go for walks, for swims, for jogs, you name it! They say I am a GREAT dog. I would prefer to be your one and only, though, and I am too interested in cats to be placed in a home with them. I am also a perfect tv-watching companion. I love kids and all people. I am smart and eager to learn. I have been in this shelter since 2006. See me fetch in the video below and watch me enjoy a snow day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b4XmkCm7FY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3TiyXLoeCQ

Mrs. Mittens Domestic Short Hair-Gray Medium Adult Female

Hi, my name is Mrs. Mittens, a grey girl kittycat (short coat), one year old (in March 10). My babies and I came from a place out yonder where we lived under an old shed. I was pregnant and I had my babies there, but two of my precious kittens died. That made me sad. My two surviving babies are just over a week old and with all the wholesome food and TLC I'm getting from the wonderful volunteers, I think my babies have a fighting chance, don't you? But oh my goodness, you should look at our feet! My babies and I are polydactyl kitties, and we all have extra toes. One of my sweet babes has his toes sticking out in our picture and you can see the extra toe. Anyway, I'm a pretty girl and an affectionate one, and when my sweeties are just a wee bit older, I'll be looking for a home. I hope that you might have room for me and let me show you just how loving a girl I can be. I will be spayed and have those shots, and a mother again I'll never be. Love, Mrs. Mittens   http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/15927420?recno=8

Lafayette, IN: Sadie Urgently Needs Rescue

*******************************************************************************************
POSTED 3/10

Contact Monica at toomanykitties7@yahoo.com and Karla at SavingHoosierDogs@gmail.com!

Sadie's owner was hospitalized and she was abandoned in a house for a WEEK! The owner sadly passed away leaving behind young children and Sadie. Relatives took in the children, but Sadie was left homeless, of course. Sadie is a little wary of new people after such a traumatic experience. Once she sniffs you, she's fine. She's good with cats and submissive dogs. She is such a sweet, loving girl and walks perfectly on a leash. She's also housebroken.The ACO who received the call developed a soft spot for Sadie so she took her home as her chances at the shelter were zero-to-none. However she works two jobs with very long hours and Sadie is in a crate basically all day long which isn't an ideal situation. She needs a rescue group or adopter urgently! She's already UTD on shots, spayed, and HW neg. She's just over 1 year old.

Morehead, KY: Jessy Beagle Seized in Cruelty Case Needs Donations

**************************************************************************************************
POSTED 3/9

Jessy came from another KY county. She was seized in a cruelty case.She is HW positive. She lived 9 years in a cage. 9 long years in a cage being bred. She spent the weekend in isolation at the vet's office because of an upper respiratory issue and to get radiographs of her heart to see what damage she has from the HW. We are treating her with the slow kill method. Doxycycline and Heartgard. This is going to be the safest treatment for Jessy.

http://juliatat.chipin.com/jessy-cruelty-case-beagle

Her initial bill is 346.00 and she still needs her rabies shot and spay.
Jessy is a precious smiling beagle and I'm happy to report that her ordeal did not take away her beagle joy.

You can call the clinic at 606-780-0208 of use her chip in. If you call the clinic to donate, please let me know so I can adjust the chipin to reflect your donation.

Thank you!

Kansas urgent Australian Shepherd [Mix] Large Young Male Dog NEXT TO DIE!! ADOPTED!

Australian Shepherd PictureNext dog due to be put down..Kansas arrived at Pound 2/10. He was born in March 09'. Owner moved here from Kansas recently, but was not allowed to keep dog. She forgot to write down his name, so we are just calling him Kansas for now. He is a friendly boy and gets along great with Cain and Abel. Hopefully we can find him another home soon, as you can tell he doesn't understand why is now in a dog pen, instead of a house.  http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15731229

Punxsutawney Australian Shepherd, Pit Bull Terrier [Mix] Large Adult Male   URGENT!

Punxsutawney Phil is a lovable "groundhog", LOL. He did see his shadow and hopes not to spend 6 more weeks in the pound. He is very sweet with people, rolling over for belly rubs. His beautiful blue eyes can see right through to your heart. Unfortunately pit mixes rarely make it out of the pound alive. With their unflattering reputation, they are always a last choice. However the ones I have met through the years have almost all been very loving with people. I hope somebody will give "Phil" a chance. during the month of February.I think he has been abused, from his cowering. I've never heard him bark and he just sits waiting for a home.. He does get along with other dogs and has been moved to pen 6 with Ramey. He just hangs his head and lays on the bed. http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15669554

Brutus*  American Bulldog, Border Collie [Mix]  Large Adult Male URGENT!  WILL BE PTS IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS!

PLEASE save Brutus!  URGENT!! WILL BE PTS!!   # American Bulldog [Mix]MaleAdult Large He is a great family dog, loves kids and spends the day playing with his other 18 canine friends.  He does chase foster's horses and has been lingering in foster care since last April.  He will be PTS in the next 48 hours if a home or rescue cannot be found.  He is not housebroken because he does lift his leg inside the house.  He will use a "doggie door" to go in and out of the heated garage where he sleeps.  He has been living loose on a 100 acre farm and enjoys the creek and his play buddies.  If his only choice is for him to be chained, we would rather Brutus be PTS.  He has a loving personality and adores people.  PLEASE save this loving dog!!!!!!  PLEASE!

Sugar URGENT Spitz [Mix] Medium Adult Female URGENT!

Spitz Picture The Pound is full and we cannot afford to board Sugar, so a decision must be made to put her down... She is spayed. Sugar is around 2 years old who was dumped out in the county. She love kids and is a great dog but no cats for Sugar as she wants to play too rough. Apparently she doesn't like other dogs much either, so should go to home w/o other animals. Please give Sugar a home as you can see she is beautiful. If anyone can foster her until she finds a home that would be great, too. She weighs approx 40 lbs.  http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15535249

Sunny/Sun Street Labrador Retriever, Chow Chow [Mix] Large Adult Female RESCUED!

Yellow Labrador Retriever PictureSunny's best friend went to rescue and she is feeling pretty lonely. Sunny has been kenneled long enough. Please someone adopt this lovable girl!  I have yet to see any dog aggression from Sonny at all. Not even when dogs run up to her run and bark at her. She really pays them no mind at all. Sonny is very sweet and just has a whole pile of energy! She has great potential.
She definitely has some yellow lab in her and since part of her tongue is black, I put chow mix too. Although not all black tongue dogs are chows... She is a very energetic friendly girl!

3-5-10 This sad old lady was picked up as a stray several days ago, but nobody has offered to claim her, or come looking for her. This poor old lady doesn't have a chance of getting adopted. It's heartbreaking especially. to see seniors end up at dog pound for the last days of their life.... She is in pen 4. http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15893652

Ramey Shepherd [Mix] Large Adult Male  URGENT!!

Shepherd Picture This older guy was found in Clearfield KY 2/17. He isn't happy about being caged up, but at least he has a warm place to sleep tonight. He has some fur missing on his rear, which looks like an allergy reaction. Age is probably at least 6. He is located in pen 6.

Weary Labrador Retriever [Mix] Medium Young Female ADOPTED!

Labrador Retriever PictureThis young girl is the victim (as are so many) of irresponsible owners. She, her sister and her sister's puppies were dumped in a rural area to fend for themselves. She is scared, but not aggressive. The warden caught her in a live trap and brought her to the Pound 2/24. She just seems so tired and weary that the name "Weary" seems to fit. She is probably happy not to worry about food and a warm place to sleep tonight. This pitiful dog weighs about 40 # and is located in pen 4. When her sister (Sad Face) was picked up the next day, Weary has been like Velcro to her side.  http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15830880

Miley Black Labrador Retriever [Mix] Medium Adult Female

Black Labrador Retriever Picture Sorry I wasn't able to capture a good photo of Miley, but she too is one of 20 dogs thrown out at a lady's house in rural KY. She weighs about 30-35 lbs. We can get her spayed if somebody will commit to rescue or adopt her. That cost would be about $53. She isn't more than 2 years, and had a litter of puppies in December.  http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15813759

Spike English Pointer [Mix] Large Young Female
English Pointer Picture Spike was another of the 20+ dogs thrown out in rural eastern KY at a single woman's house. She has been trying to care for them on her own, but needs help in locating homes! Spike was recently spayed and we noticed the day I was there, that her incision had opened and her intestines were hanging out. This was on a Sunday and when I left, the lady was waiting for a vet to call her back. I felt so bad as she is trying her best to care for these dogs on her own. The "dog warden" in this county shoots strays on sight as they don't have a pound.

Frankfort, KY: Desperate situation for 30 penned/chained dogs

****************************************************************************************************
UPDATE 3/10 - POSTED 3/5   Please read the poignant plea below from Tara asking for rescue help for these poor dog and cat FRIENDS living in horrific conditions.  Their human guardian has died and their death is eminent if help can't be found for them.

Contact Tammi if you can help with any of these animals. Phone: 859 620 5323    tammikinrup@yahoo.com

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday I spent all day along with fellow rescuer Tracy Miller in Frankfort, KY. the state's capitol ,going to see and photograph these dogs whose guardian died a few weeks ago. His family contacted me to try and help find good homes for them. They are locked in a huge court battle with a next door neighbor over the dogs, and all they want is to find them good homes. The pictures we got are of most of the dogs, 24 were on site, another 5 or 6 are at a friend's house. Some were too shy to come out of the dog houses, but most were eager for some attention. All look well fed, but none are spayed/neutered or vetted. Most are in pens, and a few are chained. The man who passed away took in any dog that showed up. The country road that these people live on had a penned or chained dog at every home. One place we counted had at least a dozen pit bulls chained up in the woods. All together we easily saw 50 chained and penned dogs just on this country road. No wonder Kentucky ranks dead last for laws protecting animals! This family also had about 15 un-fixed cats running around, and we were told 4 dogs inside the house that we weren't allowed to see. This is a desperate situation and the pictures cannot show how bad the conditions are for these poor dogs.

I don't even know where to start , so I'm starting with DDB. Please crosspost these dogs far and wide.  I am also open to any advice from those of you who have had large numbers of dogs that need rescue. I am the contact person, we have age and sex info on the dogs if it is needed. Thank you for your help,

Tammi Kinman Ruppert

Erlanger, KY: Female GSD Mix Needs a New Home

**************************************************************************************************
POSTED 3/3  The family dog protective of the new baby and needs a new home.  Please help keep her from the shelter!

Our dog's name is Roxy.  She will be two years old on August 12th.  She is the German Shepherd mix in the picture. (I can't find my camera to take a picture of her right now)

She was ok around my friends dog (in the picture), but she is kennel aggressive.  We have had her since she was a puppy.  She has always been around children.  She is very protective of our house and barks and gets upset when strangers come over.  Recently I gave birth to our sixth child, and Roxy seems to think she's her puppy??  She growls at the kids when they get close to the baby.  So I'm not sure about being around kids.

She is housebroken and spayed.  She is due for two shots, but I can get those before someone takes her.

 We live in Erlanger , Ky

Louisville KY: Gray long-haired kitty needs home by Mar 22

****************************************************************************************************
POSTED 3/2

Clooney the cat

We trapped a young, small gray, long-haired kitty, taken him to snip clinic (one ear now slightly tipped) and have him in my kitty condo.  Unfortunately, he is more shy and wild than the potential adopter thought he might be.  She needs me to find another place for him before March 22. 

He is pretty "wild" in that he is quite fearful.  I don't know what his experience with human has been. He did settle down a little with his first "captor, " and would stretch out in the condo, clean himself, eat, etc. with her quietly sharing the room. Now, he is in a second location with other animals (two cats and a Shih Tzu) and a young family. (Kitty is still housed in my kitty condo).

Is there ANY chance that you know anyone who could keep him to get him used to people and being inside?  I think his temperament and age lend themselves to a positive outcome but it will take some time. 

Thank you.

Middle TN: URGENT Dog Killing Party - UPDATE

***********************************************************************************************
Good News UPDATE 3/3 - POSTED 3/1  PLEASE READ AND CROSS POST

ALL of the small breed dogs were pulled just yesterday to be TEMPORARILY housed by a small rescue in Western TN.  We will still need other rescues and foster families to step up and help these poor angels find permanent, loving forever homes.  Susan Truscott of Best Friends has taken all of the BIG dogs... the ones who we were told are aggressive and bite (NONSENSE!  They are just starved for food and affection!  Every one of the "vicious ones" gave me kisses and let me pet them head to toe!) back to her own house to be TEMPORARILY housed until, again, our network of Rescues, friends and Cross-posters help us to find those permanent, loving forever homes!
 
 Please understand that while the dogs are now out of immediate danger, they are by no means "out of the woods".  They will need vetting, food, basic care (poop scooping, etc.) and all of that will require our continued efforts to network for these dogs - now for volunteers and donations as well as homes!  As soon as I get the information for Cole's Mom's rescue (if she is a 501c3 or not) and an address where we can deliver donations, like food, blankets, cash :o), I will send it out.

 We are still working on finding assistance for all the feral and friendly cats on site.  Please do not forget these babies... they need us desperately.

 Thanks for staying in contact and following up with me on these poor angels...   I'll let you know as soon as I can about any future developments!

THE PROBLEM: An elderly woman in the Carthage/Smith County area of Middle Tennessee has taken in 30 dogs over the years. She has had to move and her new neighbor is threatening to shoot the dogs. They have already killed two of her cats. NICE NEIGHBORS! The neighbor has been calling in people to come help shoot the dogs. You've heard of painting parties and barn raisings? Well, this is a dog killing party! Only one rescue has volunteered to step in and help, but one rescue simply cannot do this alone. We are willing to help pick the dogs up and transport them in this area on Saturday. We simply need places to put them. No one rescue has room for 30 dogs. Nashville Metro Animal Control first said they would take them, but have now backed out on that. If any of you know of Metro, it's certainly the last place you would want to take an animal. All these dogs have allegedly been spayed/neutered, including the 5 or so puppies. We understand that all but 3 of the dogs are very social. COME ON PEOPLE! We need HELP! Please don't sit and wait for someone else to do this. YOU ARE SOMEONE!! Time is running and this is critical.

UPDATE: After two wonderful volunteers and their husbands went on-site Saturday, we have pictures available. Follow this link: http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=a7546bc79220fa94f283d5&skin_id=1603

After viewing, you will have to agree that this situation is indeed URGENT. For the moment, the shooting situation is stabilized but it does remain shaky at best. We are desperate for either rescues in the Middle Tennessee area to step up and take in just one or two of these wonderful souls or, at the very least, help us get them into boarding and to veterinary care by making a donation to Critter Cavalry Rescue. ANY amount will help..these babies are desperate and we are desperate to help them. Please follow this link if you can help financially. http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/crittercavalry.html We sincerely thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers. Now, if the rescues will just "COME TO THE RESCUE"!!!

Please email me at TNLadyDriver@aol.com This is URGENT and it certainly is NO JOKE!!! We are currently trying to contact the HSUS but TIME is running out.  The Sheriff's Office can't do anything until "after the fact". PLEASE HELP US...BE SOMEONE TODAY!!!! Be a RESCUER in the truest sense of the word!

UPDATE 3/4 - POSTED 3/1

CONTACT KASEY  legaldiva02@yahoo.com

I have been really disheartened by the lack of response and/or support I have received for Chomp.  I need your help.  Obviously I am not going to find him a new foster home or forever home around here---- doesn't look like it anyway.  If you can get him into a rescue or foster in the NE or in another area, I will continue to foster him until there is an opening and/or he can be transported to a place where they don't discriminate.  Also, I will pay for and take him to get vetted and neutered.  Please give me any help/assistance you can.  I know many of you are focused on dogs on the urgent list in shelters, but Chomp was on the streets in a dire situation.  He can't go to a shelter because they will kill him b/c of his breed. This is the last email I will send on him.  I help out any way I can when you have situations such as this...  I transport, I work adoption days, I circulate emails, I help make vital contacts/connections.  I need your help now.

I desperately need help for "Spot".  I was out serving warrants (I'm a process server) in a not so great area of Nashville (the kind of area you just want to drive through and not stop for anything).  On the way out, I spotted this approx 12 wk old puppy hiding behind a guardrail along the busy road..... he was terrified, you could tell.  I jumped out in the middle of traffic and went to get him.... at first he growled at me and backed away terrified.  Eventually he came to me and I was able to pick him up.   My husband and I took him home with us, but he can't stay.  He is the sweetest puppy....extremely submissive.  But he's terrified of everything...and he was starving when I picked him up--he's gobbled up 2 bowls of food.

  He's all white with a
black spot by his eye... looks like a Pit Bull/Dalmatian mix to me, so he probably would be killed if picked up by Metro.  I have him in a kennel at my house but its not an ideal situation.  My 3 giant dogs can't be mixed with others.  They are extremely territorial and protective and I believe my St. B, Debo, would hurt or maybe even kill him.  So I have to keep them separate.  Also, I work 2 jobs and am in grad school, so I am gone for up to 16 hours per day.... I am never here.  I can't keep him in a kennel in my house for such long days. He's a sweetheart.  He doesn't even cry in the kennel...he's so good. 

I need help finding him a temp foster home ASAP.  I am begging.  I will make a donation toward his vet care.  He might have a family looking for him.....but honestly I'd be afraid of returning him to the neighborhood I found him in!

 Help!  If you can offer "Spot" a place to crash (I can loan a kennel if need be)... please call me
615-440-2891 or email me: legaldiva02@yahoo.com

Contact SavingHoosierDogs@gmail.com if you can rescue Elroy!!

6-8 month old puppy living in a filthy, smelly, cockroach and mouse infested apartment will go to a BREEDER if not rescued!

 
The owners can't keep this pup as they just got on an assisted living program and it doesn't allow them to have pets. They are giving us ONE WEEK to find rescue for him.

If not, a family member--who is a BREEDER--will take him!!! The last thing this city needs is more pit bulls being reproduced!!

Please save this pup from a life of making more pit puppies!! His name is Elroy. He is only 6-8 months old. He's good with other dogs and kids. He's friendly, sweet, but a bit submissive. It sounds like the owners are pretty rough with him.

BATH COUNTY, KY 14 Year old Shoots Dog's Leg--Donations Needed

**************************************************************************************************
POSTED 2/28  PLEASE CROSSPOST! NEED MONETARY ASSISTANCE FOR ANNA'S AMPUTATION -  EVEN IF YOU CAN'T HELP, PASSING THIS ON WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Many of you may recall Dusty, the Golden Mix, that was hung at the end of a backhoe in his front yard and nothing was done in Bath County, KY.  Now we have this beautiful Anatolian Shepherd, Anna, who was shot by a 14 year old with a rifle. The shots shattered her rear leg into 15 pieces. OF COURSE, no one has identified the perpetrator and, given the abysmal record of county officials, it's unlikely Anna will ever see any justice for the crime committed against her.

Eastern Kentucky Animal Rescue (Sylvia's Sanctuary) has taken in this wonderful dog and had her leg amputated. Their vet bills at present are close to $10,000 in their effort to help so many abused animals in this county. We are trying to recoup the $450.00 for Anna's amputation. If you can help, please click on the chip in below. No amount is too small. CHIP IN : http://rdelotell.chipin.com/anna

Anna is in foster care, but will need permanent placement once she recovers. For more information or to help Anna further please contact Susan Little at soapdiva44@yahoo.com

ALL PAYPAL DONATIONS ARE DEPOSITED INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY ANIMALS RESCUE'S PAYPAL ACCOUNT. THEY ARE A 501c3 MAKING DONATIONS DEDUCTIBLE TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS!

Drake *URGENT* Border Collie, Labrador Retriever Large Adult Male Dog Pet ID: 12/13/09

Drake is housed in front run 4. He is a sweet little gentleman that has little chance of being "picked" out of the overcrowded shelter as a black dog. It takes a special person to adopt a “plain black dog.” Shelters and rescue groups are flooded with black labs and black lab mixes, who suffer from “plain black dog” syndrome. Rescue groups will often receive 20 applications for a yellow lab mix for every 1 for a black lab mix of the same age, health, and temperament. http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15330155

I am very sad to announce that only one of the dogs listed below has found rescue. None of the others have a place to go. The shelter is past full and we will have no choice but to euthanize each of the ones on this list. I can only allow untill Monday 3/1/10 for a true and firm commitment to save their lives. Transport is available. For the ones that are not sponsored, vetting is extremely low cost.

She is drying up without problems and she will be ready for her new home very soon.http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15497309

The shelter is past full and any day there will be decisions made on how to make space. Please don't let the loss of life be the way a kennel is opened.
 
If you can help any of these dogs, please conatact the shelter ASAP. Don't wait. Some of these dogs have already been on this list and granted reprieve. This will not be the case this time without your help.

POSTED 2/25   Please crosspost to anyone that can help!

Can someone please take these 4 Beagles. They are in urgent need or rescue or adoption. They are older dogs, and just need somewhere to retire. Such sad stories. If you can help with even one please contact Mandy with Auglaize County Humane Society in Ohio. admin@achs-pets.com  PH: (419) 738-7808

 

Buster was brought to us with another dog, a Sheltie named Laddie. Both were brought in because their owner could no longer take care of them and had to go to a nursing home. Laddie was adopted. Sadly Buster is an elderly beagle  10years + and no one will give him a chance. The only thing sadder than Buster having no where to go is his best friend Hank.

Hank is an elderly beagle as well and was left abandoned in a pen out in front of our shelter.
 
Vinny is another sad story.... Was dumped out in front of the shelter. A few months later a younger man came to the shelter claiming that Vinny's real name was Pappy and it was his dog, which was true. He said that he would be back for Vinny the very next day, but he never came. Since then he has been to the shelter claiming to come bring Vinny home more than 4 times. Could someone please give him a forever home?
 
William is around 8 years+.  He was another beagle dumped out in front of the shelter. He is a great boy and loves to walk on a leash. He is your typical beagle and would love to have a forever home.

Owenton, KY: Dogs Needing Foster/Rescue/Adoption

**************************************************************************************************
UPDATE 3/13 - POSTED 2/24

We know how many rescue pleas go out each day, but Owen County sees very little offers from rescue groups. They are very rescue-friendly and their dogs are in need. The dogs spend almost all of the day in isolated mason-block kennels with no lights on, and they have no local volunteers that will exercise the animals. The dogs get food, water, and a pat on the head. Many of these dogs sit in the shelter for MONTHS like this, waiting to be rescued. Please consider working with Owen County if you have not done so in the past. Low-cost vetting options are available.

OCFA do everything in their power to avoid euthanasia and this should be rewarded with rescue offers! Please consider rescuing from Owen Co.

Contact Debbie at debbie.strong@owen.kyschools. us or call Hilari at 502-514-1539 to offer assistance. These two women spend countless hours each week cleaning the kennels and feeding the dogs as there is no paid shelter employee/caretaker.

Olive Basset Hound, Jack Russell Terrier [Mix]   Small Adult Female URGENT --NEEDS NEW FOSTER HOME/ADOPTION/RESCUE ASAP!
Olive is a Basset/Beagle mix. She is extremely loving, and loves attention; but she needs a home with NO cats.  Her front legs are deformed and she becomes extremely agitated if you try to clip her nails or touch her feet. She has no mobility problems from the deformation. She is very fast and can easily jump to heights of 2-3 feet. She is house-trained, fixed and UTD on her shots. Olive is five to six years old.

CONTACT: catsntrees@bellsouth.net ASAP IF YOU CAN HELP ONE!

Our shelter is a very small one. We have 18 cages for cats which hold about one cat per cage and we have 16 dog runs which are about 2 feet wide and 4 feet long with a guillotine door that opens out into another 2 foot by 4 foot run that is "outside" but still on concrete. We can only hold 16 adult dogs and the biggest dogs do not fit into those 2x4 kennels. So when you look at our site and notice a few dogs, please remember that we only have room for 16 basically, and so we fill up quickly and have to make decisions based on room more so than larger shelters might.

East Prairie, MO: LEFT IN SHED TO DIE. NEEDS URGENT HELP Emaciated

*************************************************************************************************
POSTED 2/19   PERMISSION TO CROSS-POST!

CONTACT INFO: Alanna Downey  semoanimalrescue@gmail.com


I have had zero offers on Ringo, the emaciated pittie. This boy was found locked in a shed, too weak to stand. He weighs in at 41 pounds skin and bones, estimated to be around 2 years old. He will be GORGEOUS when he fills out. I NEED TO MOVE THIS beautiful baby asap. I can only take one trainwreck at a time, I currently have two-I had made plans to pull a pit mix with horrible, bleeding sarcoptic mange that was going to be euthanized. Plus on top of that, Ringo, making the total now THREE. I don't have the quarantine space to adequately hold this many, plus I am in BIG trouble with my boyfriend.....but I couldn't leave Ringo behind.


We did some checking into the people who had him locked in a shed- apparently Ringo was a stray that showed up on their property and was fighting with their resident, unaltered, male pit mix. This male pit mix was very protective of the property and his owner when Laura Holloway checked the residence out. She said she would not have stuck her hand out to him. Imagine what poor Ringo went through- starving to death in the cold, looking for a warm place to rest, and he got attacked by the resident pittie. ALL DOGS ON THE PROPERTY ARE VERY WELL FED.
 
RINGO IS NOT DOG AGGRESSIVE. He is absolutely fine with dogs when properly introduced. We tested him with our 80 pound alpha male Pittie yesterday and he was fine. He has been around three other 55+ pound dogs (two males, one female), plus a Pomeranian and done fine. He is curious with cats, at this time I would not leave him unsupervised/off leash with one.

Transport, sponsorship money, and vetting can be arranged. PLEASE HELP ME, I AM AT A STANDSTILL WITH ALL OTHER DOGS UNTIL I MOVE RINGO. If you would like to donate funds to Ringo for his receiving rescue, please contact me.

Thank you for everyone's help.........couldn't do this without you.

POSTED 2/19

Wabash County Animal Shelter is a small shelter in Mount Carmel, IL.  They have phenomenal volunteers that work tirelessly to get the dogs out of the shelter into homes or into rescue.  They are extremely accurate with their assessments of the dogs temperaments and are very honest.  Their biggest challenge is finding help for their heartworm positive dogs since a lot of rescues will not take them.  Currently, they had 2 dogs treated and then had 2 more dogs come in that were heartworm positive.  They desperately need donations to cover the treatment for the 2 that have started and are trying to raise money to treat the other two.  The total needed for the 4 treatments is $1100. Please give these dogs a second shot at life.  These dogs are all looking for rescue as well, if you can help them in that way, too, please do.  You can make a donation either on their individual petfinder pages or mail a check to:

This is Bob!!!  He is a shelter favorite!!  He has been with us for far too long.  He is a male Pitt Bull.  He is tannish yellow in color and has a red nose.  He is small for his breed but very muscular.  He was very abused when we found him and we've been working hard to get him back to health.  We have a behaviorist work with him every week so he has come a VERY long way since he arrived!!  He is not aggressive unless he is attacked then of course he defends himself.  We have had him vaccinated and neutered.  He is bursting with personality and loves his toy box at the shelter!!!!! He is able to walk on a leash, and knows many of his commands.   He is my favorite and kinda my personal mission!!  he deserves a great home!!!



Hi!!  My name is Pebbles!  I am brand new at the shelter.  My owners just surrendered me a few days ago.  I am a young female Pitt Bull mix puppy.  I am very out going and energetic!  I love to play with the other dogs at the shelter but my favorite thing is the toy box!!  I like hanging out with the other dogs but I would really like to find a forever home again!!!  Could you please help me out??

In other words 95% of our animals are fixed and have their vaccinations, most of our dogs are large to medium sized, we have two male orange tabby kittens and two spayed Dilute calico's.

Petfinder is up to date www.eastridgeanimals.petfinder.com just look at the wonderful animals we currently have at the shelter.

Ringo AKA Big Ears Basset Hound, Corgi [Mix] Small Baby Male

Basset Hound PictureRingo is the cutest Basset mix ever! He has huge ears that spread out above his head! He is about 6 months old, and has the cute short legs of a basset hound. He weighs only about 25 lbs though, so he is much smaller than a basset. He is already neutered.

We have added 6 more dog runs at the shelter, currently we have 16 dogs and 5 cats at the shelter awaiting rescue help. If anyone can help please contact me at czagona@eastridgetn.org , czagona01@comcast.net or call the shelter at 423-664-0271

We are now getting our animals fixed the day they become available for adoption thanks to "Guardian Angel" donations (all animals) and the Pedigree Foundations grant money (dogs only) we were awarded.

There are wonderful animals at our shelter that just need their second chance, please look at their bios on Petfinder and if you or someone you know can help that would be wonderful.

Thanks,

I need to find a good home for our six year old yellow lab Susie.  She has not been spayed and is a light colored, beautiful dog with a great disposition.  She has been neglected frankly (i.e. hasn’t gotten near enough one on one attention) and needs a family who can give her focused attention and love.  With our schedules and the demands of business in
