More bad news for Mason County West Virginia - in addition to the 25 dogs surrendered by a single family, and the other puppies dumped off today, someone just brought in two more pups. And there's a four month old red and white husky mix that was hit by a car. His tail is wagging, he's eating and drinking, but he can't walk. There's a cat with a litter of kittens, and a two year old white cat. And the list isn't done yet. The shelter needs HELP!

There's a 3 year old dalmatian mix who is mother to two separate litters of dalmatian/beagle mix pups, and she's possibly pregnant again.  A purebred male beagle, the dad to all those pups.  And of course - all those pups, two years old and six months old.  None of these will be listed on Petfinder today because the shelter's camera is broken, and there's so much intake paperwork to complete.  But the shelter is now over their limit and they are looking at imminent gassing if these animals - especially those who have been there more than a week - do not move out right now.

Furry Friends Network of Pennsylvania has set up a fund to help out the Mason animals.  Anyone wishing to donate toward the cost of medical care or rescue expenses can do so through their website at
