SHELTER CLOSINGS LEAVE DOGS HOMELESS


Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 10:01:11 -0600
Subject: WEST VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE SHELTERS NOT ONLY CLOSING, OVERFLOWING, REBUILDING, MOVING UP TO 200 AT A TIME FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER SUDDEN MICROMANAGING REASONS. Purebred Dobberman, Husky, Hounds, Shepherds, Saint Bernards, tons of kittens and puppies

 

The rescues are inundated, the volunteer drivers exhausted, and still the shelters keep sending out SOS pleas:

Did you hear about Parkersburg shelter with 203 animals that are in danger (152 of them are kittens) I only knew of one cat rescue contact who got other cat rescues in around MD to take 24 kittens from MOnroe in TN, but I don' t have any other cat rescue contacts, if you do please forward them to me so I can start getting the word out.  The Parkersburg Humane Society really works hard to help the animals. The Brooke County Shelter also sent out a plea.  When will this ever stop?  There are not enough rescues in this area except for the East Coast rescues that are so far away.  Let me know of all the rescues you know of and I will let them know abuot the animals in these overcrowded shelters. I posted all I could find out about these two new shelters in trouble on www.weneedahome.net last night but didn't have time to post all 203 animals in one, and the 50 in the other.  I can't even keep track of what shelter has what anymore.  Brooke County has puppies and had to start putting down.  PUREBRED WHITE HUSKY long sleek Beauty with piercing blue eyes, I rescued a Racing Line one like her that has been so well trained and competes in sled dogs that is only rescues here, PUREBRED DOBERMAN, BEAGLES, BLOOD HOUNDS, JACK RUSSELS, RAT TERRIERS, FOX TERRIER, SAINT BERNARD AND MORE AT THESE SHELTERS. 

We are currently working on a national Spay/Neuter PSA CD that can be given to all radio stations nationwide to try to educate these areas to get involved in Low Cost Spay/Neuter.  Please join us.

 

The Humane Society of Parkersburg, WV has over 213 animals

RUMOR ALERT !!!!

THAT A RESCUE HAS OFFER TO TAKE THE TAKE THE LAST  SECOND CHANCE DOGS.  THIS IS 100 PERCENT COMPLETELY NOT TRUE, FALSE, BECAUSE WE ARE STILL TAKING AND VERIFYING OFFERS FROM RESCUES!!!!

PHOTOS INCLUDED BELOW

THESE  8 ONCE RESCUED dogs are the only ones left to!! 

Your help is NEEDED !! 

Your rescue can be their SECOND CHANCE
 

In Inwood, West Virginia 8 dogs await their fate.  These fully vetted, adoptable dogs are healthy, and eager to find their human forever family.  For now, they would be happy with a foster home, a rescue, or even a kennel.  Because in less than 24 hours, a court order will be executed to seize them and put them to sleep. For no fault of their own, they are going to the Bridge, but they have no owner to wait for.

 

Humans promised them a Second Chance.  Now, this is their LAST CHANCE

 

IF YOU CALL, and can help to arrange transportation, no later than this weekend, Second Chance will board the dogs for you until SATURDAY

There used to be more than 50 adoptable dogs at Second Chance.  A dozen puppies were adopted into their forever homes The volunteers organized by the PennsylvaniaSR mail list have helped to move nearly 30 dogs into safe a reputable rescues.  These 8 remain, not because they are `the bottom of the barrel', but because they are mostly MONGRELS.  Specific breed rescues will not always accept mix's and the all breed rescues have run out of room

 
These Second Chance Dogs have simply run out of luck.  Or have they??  Can YOU HELP?? We might be able help with transportation!!!
