NEED TO CROSSPOST TO SAVE THESE ANIMALS LIVES! This is a desperate situation! The dogs you will see on this site WILL BE DEAD BY THE END OF WEEK! The shelter director at McLean County Animal Control has quit. We have been told that there will be someone coming in next week to EUTHANIZE! This is a very rural area that is not supportive of rescue efforts made by shelter staff. We have gone in today and taken pictures of all of their dogs and updated their petfinder website. We need EVERYONE to look at these dogs and see if there is ANYONE you can take. This must be done ASAP as it could be as soon as Monday that someone goes in to Euthanize these dogs. Please, Please see if you can help. http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY212.html CONTACT SHELTER DIRECTLY at (270)685-8275 or e-mail dcacanimals@yahoo.com if you can help even just one.....
