Good morning everyone- As many of you know, recently 87 dogs were seized from a home in Chester County, SC and taken into custody by Animal Control. Thankfully, all but a small number of those dogs have been rescued. Now, Chester County Animal Control/Shelter faces another dilemma..... they have no food & no money to feed the other animals at the Shelter. Animal Adoption League Volunteer Doris Macomson went to the Shelter on Thursday to pull one of the remaining dogs from the seizure & was told by Barbara that they were very low on food and supplies~ with no means of getting anymore!!! Barbara told Doris there was " just no more money in the budget" until July...WHAT! ?!?! They bought what their budget allowed yesterday and that's it until July. Volunteers are dipping into their own pockets to ensure that these poor animals have food~ Doris wants to help get them back on their feet & make sure they don't ever have to face this situation again. We have offers to help transport supplies to Chester as needed. I know we just did a food drive for Chesterfield, but PLEASE....if you can spare ANYTHING.... ..they are desperate! You can email Doris: dorismacomson@ yahoo.com , myself, brenda_arnold68@ yahoo.com, or contact Lt. Tolbert at Chester County Animal Control/Shelter, 803.385.6341 or 803.444.0541. They need our help! Chester County Animal Control, located at 2714 Dawson Drive, Chester, SC 29706, and is open M-F from 8:00 - 5:00 and Sat. from 8:00 - 12:00 Furriest Regards~ Brenda Arnold someone needs help, we circle the wagons & make things happen. It's no longer just about an Animal Adoption League animal, or this group, or that group...it's about what we, as a family of rescuers, need to do to help. They need food dog & cat food, (dry & canned),
