Post subject: GAS CHAMBER AUSSIE NEEDS COMMITMENT RIGHT NOW


http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15366324

"I'll sponsor this fella if someone will please save him.
He's scared at the shelter
(you would be too if you were about to be stuffed into
a gas chamber box and killed)
so he was not put out on the adoption floor so he
has no chance of getting
out alive unless someone works with the rescue
listed below today.
He needs to be pulled by 4pm.



More About PTS 12/23 #9062
Please include the tag# with your inquiry for faster service.
If you are with a rescue, please include the name of your
rescue and
501c3 status in your inquiry.

THIS IS A HIGH KILL SHELTER - ANIMALS WILL
BE PUT TO
SLEEP ON THEIR PTS DATE AND NEED TO BE
CLAIMED BY 5PM
THE NIGHT BEFORE THEIR PTS DATE. IF YOU
ARE AT ALL
INTERESTED IN THIS ANIMAL, PLEASE DON'T
HESITATE -
THESE ANIMALS LIVES DEPEND
ON QUICK ACTION.


Please read the following description of the shelter's policies on
pulling non-adoptable animals. If you are not with a 501c3 rescue,
you will need to contact someone from Animal League
of Gaston County
to help you pull the animal.

We are a group of volunteers that try to help the dogs/cats
at Gaston County
get into rescues and adoptable homes, but we don't work at
the shelter and
don't usually have a lot of information on the animals
(unfortunately).
Animal
Control employees do not do a thorough
behavioral evaluation of the
animal or a vet check
and we can only guess as to what breed we
think the animal might be - practically
no animals come into this shelter with pedigrees, so there is no guarantee
on animals being a specific or advertised breed. We just
try to get their info
out so people learn about them.

This animal was not slated for the adoption floor by the
Animal Control Kennel person upon intake,
so there is no

adoption fee for the animal and the animal
WILL BE EUTHANIZED

on it's PTS (put to sleep) date. This shelter
uses a GAS CHAMBER.

There are many reasons why they are not slated
for adoptions (underweight, overweight, shy or scared
to be at the kenne
l (this is the typical reason and most
dogs are freaked out by being at the kennel),
o
bvious health issue
(dogs and cats are not vetted at all), too old, or
the owner says the
dog is aggressive or has some sort of issue
(this is another very
common reason because owners turning animals into the
shelter are afraid to admit out loud that they just don't want
the animal anymore and make up an excuse as to why
they are turning the animal in).


Because this animal was not chosed for adoption,
it has to be adopted
out through the Animal League of Gaston County
or a 501c3 rescue
can pull the animal out. This animal can be
pulled out of the shelter
after 4PM the day before it's euthanize date
(the day before the
PTS date in the dog's name on petfinder). ALGC
will require a vet
reference for people not from a 501c3 rescue
stating that all
pets are up to date on vaccinations, are spayed
or neutered
and dogs are on heartworm preventative.
Adopters are required
to get the animal vaccinated and spayed
or neutered at their
expense within 2 weeks of adopting the animal
or by the time
the animal is six months old. We have no
kennels to house
the animals, so they are required to be picked
up by their PTS date,
else they will be killed.


You can visit the animal anytime before it's PTS/release date at
Gaston County Animal Control. The shelter is open daily from
11am - 5pm and the first Sat of the month.
There are directions posted on this
site: http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/animalcontrol/HoursContactDirections.HTM.
Information on the Gaston County
Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic can be found
here: http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/animalcontrol/GastonClinic.htm.

Please act quickly to arrange adoption for this animal,
they are given very little time before they are euthanized.


Thank you for inquiring.

If you don't like the idea of dogs/cats being inhumanely
euthanized in a gas chamber - contact your Gaston
County Commisioners
(http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/CountyCommission/CommissionersPictures.htm). Your tax dollars are paying for this cruel method of euthanasia.
