 DO NOT REPLY TO ME if you need help quickly. Animals
 are in Spalding County AC, Griffin, GA. (770)
 467-4772
 
 These animals *might* still be at the shelter.  They've  already been removed from Spalding's website, but  that  doesn't necessarily mean they're dead yet. People  who  have called to check on who was pulled daily were  told  some of these animals were still there and NOBODY  had  shown even the slightest interest in any of them.

They  will be killed very soon, probably by the end of  Wednesday 7/21. If you want to save one, CALL THE  SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. 770-467-4772    PAST DUE TO BE KILLED:    *BEAGLE - Tucker, A04-1999 - cute adult male mix,  OS,  so scared & confused after being dumped at the  shelter  that he won't come to the front of his cage, so none  of the local adopters are considering him    *BLACK AND TAN COONHOUND/FOXHOUND - Tielk, 04-1992  -  beautiful adult female; some volunteers visited the  shelter & said she's quiet, calm, undemanding,  friendly, gentle, & sweet, a WONDERFUL girl who  deserves consideration. She's such a sweetie that  she  would rather get human attention than have a dog  treat. But since she's a hound, most people won't  even  give her a second look. She deserves a family just  as  much as the retrievers and shepherds! Rescue is  probably her only hope. Not sure if she's still  there  or not, but I haven't heard about anybody who's even  slightly interested in her.    Call (770) 467- 772 or go to  http://www.spaldingcountyanimalshelter.com/ to  rescue  any of these animals.


PLEASE SAVE HEZEKIAH!! HE'S IN MEMPHIS!!

  I got this in on one of the rescue lists.  Take a look at these tow guys and tell me how silly it sounds that they list the disclaimer "They are VERY friendly - but - "WE ALSO DO NOT KNOW HOW WELL THEY GET ALONG WITH OTHER ANIMALS".  Look at the smirks of those two faces...... their just begging - "quick, get me out...."

  If you can help, please pass this along or call the shelter.

  Please Crosspost!

  These two buddies are in very serious danger of being PTS. This shelter is way overcrowded and they need out immediately. They really need to stay together because they are so bonded. Can someone please help them have another tomorrow? They are adorable! Thanks

Well, you guessed it, we know have THREE's company.

Randy,
 

So are their names going to be Chrissy, Janet and Jack?????  Last week I went to the Lancaster Shelter to bail out 2 of the sweetest basset girls.  Their owner had previously adopted them from the shelter in June, and returned them because she didn't have enough time for them.  I try very hard not to be judgmental and try to concentrate on the fact that the hounds are rescued from an inevitable fate.  Their names are Cookie and Nabisco and they are truly bonded together as sisters.  Cookie is more outgoing than Nabisco, but both are great bassets!  They love to play and they LOVE affection!  OK God....send some great basset adopting families over to Daphneyland!!!!  In the meantime, I am there Monday through Friday tending to all their needs.  I am proud to say that I was offered the position as Kennel Manager there and I accepted.  Life is good as I am doing exactly what I feel I was put here on! earth to do.  Nothing in this world feels better than when I arrive at the Ranch and enter the kennel gates and when all the hounds see me...how happy they are I am there.

HANDSOME was abused and needs a forever home soon... Won't You Help?

 

This is a regular posting. No particular post prompted this note. If there are any questions, contact the list moderator (Susan Hogarth) at susan@ncliberty.net
DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POSTING ON-LIST.

POSTING GUIDELINES for the HOUND-RESCUE LIST:

To maximize the effectiveness of the hound-rescue list, these guidelines need to be observed:

(1) Each posting should have in the SUBJECT LINE these elements - breed and location. Keep the subject line short. Remove RE: and FW: from other lists. Do not forward blindly - please take the time to edit. NO ATTACHMENTS.

(2) Postings to hound-rescue may be crossposted UNLESS the poster specially asks that no crosspostings be made. Please respect such requests.

(3) Transport requests *involving hounds* are OK - although there are MUCH better venues for such posts.

(4) Trim shelter lists to include only hounds and *obvious* hound mixes. Retain contact info. Avoid hysterical language - we all know what happens to dogs in shelters who don't get out in time; we don't need graphic details.

(5) EVERY post must have in the BODY contact information for the dog.

(6) Requests for information are OK - such as training, fostering, acclimating, etc. The occasional happy story or venting is fine, but we're all busy and since this list doesn't have a topic system, keep chitchat to a minimum. There are better lists for general rescue info.

(7) Responses not relevant to the entire list should be made privately.

(8) NO ANIMAL WELFARE OR PETITION OR LEGISLATION POSTS. We all hate puppymills. Fight them elsewhere, though - this is not the place. No requests for letterwriting for cruelty cases.

(9) If you are NOT regularly checking listmail, please DO NOT POST. It is NOT true that 'better multiple postings than none'. Repeats cause busy people to skip this list. Let's keep it useful.

Let's keep this a lean focused list and make it the premier source of uncluttered info on hounds needing rescue.

Thanks! - Susan Hogarth



Could you do me a favor and post this message to the dog rescue groups?

This coonhound is having puppies tonight.  I can't handle this.  When the puppies get a little older and start making noise it will cause an uproar among my 20 dogs.  Plus, I can't afford this.  I am worried right now about losing my home.  Please post this.  I need help!

Correspondents Advocates, Writers Photographers, Reporters and Liaisons Needed!

There are a myriad of positions available for many different agencies throughout the U.S. There is a great need for shelter workers and volunteers, liaisons, political activists, campaigners, publicists and press people, photographers, correspondents and, yes, transporters!

Most of these positions are not, in and of themselves, demanding. Of course, if you care about animals they can become very time consuming efforts, indeed, and we appreciate the vast and varied talents of those who are doing this work -- many out of the kindness of their hearts.

If you are interested in volunteering for this effort or others, we invite you to write us and let us know what you'd like to do, how often and how you like to work. We're sure to be able to find a match for you!

We thank God for each and every one of you who care enough to confront almost insurmountable odds to do everything you can to change this travesty in our world, often facing your own  humanity

 to do so, and putting your own emotions on the line to care for the voiceless among us: GODSPEED to each and every one...


BAILEY
