It's Raining Cats and Dogs in West Virginia and Other States-Shelters that Euthanize for Space

"This is a plea for funds for Kimmie. Can you please help us so she can get to the Florida Sanctuary at end of the week.
Please crosspost to all you know and email all you know
Kimmie thanks you!!

Hi my name is Kimmie. I am an older girl who caught a break in life when the shelter I was in freezer broke down and they could not euthanise me. So I got a break because then some very nice people took me out of there.
But now I need help. I am at a vets in SC trying to find my way to Florida to stay at the Sanctuary Animal Refuge. We need help getting me there and I guess you can see from my pictures that I have some pretty bad skin issues. The vet here thought I was not worth saving but everyone else does and I am thankful for that as I am not ready to die now.

University Animal Hospital will be checkign me out once I get to Florida. I have really bad arthritis in my hips and my walk is odd but I still am loveable. The vet here wants to run a lot of tests but they want me to be seen by a Dr. Eich in Florida who has helped many of the Sanctuary dogs. I really want to get there and feel better. Will you help me? Please

As you can see from the pictures, Kimmie has horrible skin infections. We don't know yet the specifics as she only got to the vet late on Thursday and we are waiting for test results to come back on the tests we had done. She came to the shelter already spayed, and is HW-, a big big plus when it comes to asking for donations for her care, and a big plus for this poor girl not to have to undergo the HW treatment. She does have arthritis in her hips.

Sanctuary Animal Refuge has agreed to take Kimmie on a transport on Friday and she will be kept there, treated, and either adopted when she gets well or loved there for the rest of her life.

The shelter felt this was a dog that didn't deserve a chance. The vet said she was sure Kimmie had to be HW+ and be unspayed. Well, the vet was thankfully wrong on both counts. And enough of us wanted her to have a chance at a loving life. All of the coincidences in the past week prove she should live - from the freezer breaking down to the vet being sure she was heartworm positive and unspayed and he was wrong to a sanctuary opening up a spot for her. Please do not let her die now when so many are trying to help her to live.

We need donations for her testing, boarding and care this week at the vet's office, a volunteer(s) to drive her from Greenville SC to meet the transport in Atlanta, and then donations for her care at the rescue/sanctuary.

Anything - a dollar, two - or more - to get Kimmie to where she needs to be will be so gratefully appreciated. Prayers are also needed for this brave girl who wants so much to live.

Kimmie was a throwaway dog once. We need to make sure this never happens to her again.

"Dogs are sharing runs and some pups are in crates.
This girl was turned in today.
We really need rescue!"

There are lots of black labs and lab mixes that need homes.

10 yr old, One Eyed, Blind urgent dog!

The number of people who have turned their back on this dog is unreal. He was found on the side of the road, with no idea where he was, where to find food, or who to trust.
When the Animal Control office picked him up, his pads were worn & raw, he was dehydrated, skinny, and too exhausted to struggle anymore.

We named him Danny boy! He spent about 2 weeks recovering and gaining weight. The his personalty really came out! He has the best personality a dog could have! He is so smart & loyal! He LOVES attention.

Because the shelter is so full, we had to place him in a short term foster home! But this is only a very short time. We must find a place by NEXT tuesday! He is so urgent.
Danny Boy is housebroken, Crate trained, and gets along great with other dogs! He is in the foster home with someone who is legally blind! He is very gentle, and sweet!

Danny boy is a 10 yr old, Australian Cattle Dog. He is neutered and has all shots. He is missing one eye, and his other eye is totally blind. The foster mom said he "smells" his way around the house.

IF you can save him! PLEASE E-mail ME! Leovrhs@gmail.com

Some shelters that have stopped gassing have started using heartstick instead. This procedure is ONLY to be done on a fully anesthetized and immobilized animal. One shelter that has it's animals routinely posted by rescue groups has a vet that, on her first day killing this way, killed several CONSCIOUS dogs in the hallway in full view of a family with their young children. This shelter pays her a fee per animal, and she's made upwards of $1000/day if the rescues haven't been able to get the animals out.

Workers in another shelter report the shelter's management refusing to let them do the procedure properly (refusing to supply the needed sedation) and making them perform it on conscious animals.

Heartstick kills the pregnant mother, but not the unborn young. They suffocate slowly.

So, add heartstick to the list of killing methods that are not "euthanasia".

Please Google "heartstick" to get the full details. Basically, however, a large needle is inserted through the lungs into the animal's heart and a lethal injection administered. Imagine trying to do this on a 130 pound conscious Saint Bernard. Heck, try to imagine doing this on a 5 pound Chihuahau - neither is going to hold still for it. Can you blame them?

Stanford, KY - Lincoln County Animal Shelter
http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY238.html
Phone: DO NOT CALL THE SHELTER!!! Please use email below.
email: Shelter liaisons Jenise Smith at smithszoo62@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com) and Melissa at melissa4dogs@bellsouth.net (@bellsouth.com)

Notice was just given that PTS is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, April 4th!!!
Unknown yet as to which ones, but in the greatest amount of danger is probably Wyatt Earp and Bambi's Faline. Dogs or cats that are spoken for prior to their scheduled PTS on Friday, April 4th, MUST be removed from the shelter BEFORE then or they are still at risk of being euthanized!

PLEASE FORWARD AND CROSS-POST!!!

Shelter volunteers continue to work VERY hard to develop a good relationship with the "new" Lincoln County Animal Shelter in Stanford, KY. With only two volunteers and the ever-present risk of animals being euthanized at any moment, they constantly need to spread the word about the precious dogs and cats that have sadly found their way to the shelter.

Listed below are descriptions and photos of the current 11 dogs and 2 cats that are in need of immediate rescue or adoption. These 13 unlucky furbabes include two dogs who were simply dumped by their "family" because "they were tired of feeding them" (sigh), a kitty with an injured paw, and several Terrier mixes (Cairn and Rat) - just to name a few. In the greatest amount of danger is probably Wyatt Earp and Bambi's Faline. ALL, however, deserve a second chance at a happy life.

If you see one that you or someone else you know might be able to help - even if it's to just sponsor their rescue or adoption fees (ANY amount is appreciated and often greatly enhances their chances of being saved) - please IMMEDIATELY contact both Jenise and Melissa, the shelter liaisons at smithszoo62@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com) and melissa4dogs@bellsouth.net (@bellsouth.com).

If you need any additional information about any of the dogs or cats or if you can offer assistance in ANY other way, please also contact Jenise and Melissa. Please include the name of the dog or cat in your email subject line.

It's CRITICAL that you do NOT call the shelter! Simply email the two volunteers listed above and they will respond to you as quickly as they can. The volunteers coordinate the rescues and adoptions at the shelter, as the sole shelter employee is are far too busy to handle such requests. The volunteers also do not want to do ANYTHING that might jeopardize their still-developing working relationship with the shelter.

As a reminder, there is no fee for an approved rescue group to pull any of the Lincoln county dogs or cats. To approve a rescue, Jenise just needs at least one vet reference with a telephone number, a brief statement about their spay/neuter policies, and a shelter reference with a contact person's name and telephone number. Once approved, the rescue can take the animals of their choice into their care either unvetted (and vet him/her once he/she arrives in rescue) or the Lincoln County vet gives very good discounts if the rescue chooses to have the vet work done before the dog or cat travels to their new destination.

Rescue vetting prices are listed below. Feel free to ask the shelter volunteers if you would like pricing info on anything that isn't listed, but please note that such additional expenses will most likely be at the "regular" vet's price without any discounts.
Dog spay: $60.00
Dog neuter: $50.00
Cat spay: $50.00
Cat neuter: $35.00
DHLP-P-Cor Vaccine: $10.00
Rabies Vaccine: $5.00
Bordetella Vaccine: $8.00
FELV/FVRCP Vaccine: $20.00
Heartworm test: $20.00
Parvovirus test: $20.00
FELV/FIV test: $28.00
Drontal Plus dewormer (depends on size): $4.00 - $16.00 dogs; $4.00 cats
Health certificate: $5.00

Dogs or cats that are spoken for prior to their scheduled PTS on Friday, April 4th, MUST be removed from the shelter BEFORE then or they are still at risk of being euthanized! Due to spring break filling the often-used boarding facility, boarding this week will need to be at the vet clinic and will require vetting as listed below. Since the shelter dogs will be boarding with the vet's clients animals, some new requirements have been set.

All dogs must be at least ~6 months of age and must have the following upon arrival for boarding. Payment will be the responsibility of the receiving rescue (prices as listed above for rescue vetting):
DHLP-P-Cor Vaccine
Rabies Vaccine
Bordetella Vaccine
Fecal test (to check for coccidia)
Deworming (if needed)
Flea/Tick treatment (they are in the process of getting prices)
Boarding Prices:
Cats: $8.50/day
Dogs 20# or less: $9.50/day
Dogs 21#-50#: $10.50/day
Dogs 51# and over: $11.50/day

Please also understand that, due to the fact that there are only two volunteers available - both of whom are already being stretched to their maximum limit to do what they can - rescues/adopters MUST coordinate their own transport. Pull help can possibly be arranged though.

Please also note that Jenise, one of the two Lincoln County volunteers, is actually on vacation with her family this week. She has limited computer access, BUT she IS checking in. That's why it's so important to also email Melissa as listed above.

Jenise is VERY concerned this week about Banjo-Kazooie (whom she describes as "a very nice dog"), Wyatt Earp, Bambi's Faline, and Teague. She also believes that Poppy and Finola are "adorable little scruffies that should be HIGHLY adoptable."

Whatever you can do to help the Lincoln County dogs and cats, please do it ASAP. Euthanasia WILL happen tomorrow, Friday, April 4th. We simply cannot stress that enough. Thank you.........

Achilles is a BEAUTIFUL black young male DSH/Bombay cat. Sadly, it appears that his back right leg/paw is injured, thus his ill-fated name. This boy needs some TLC and he needs it YESTERDAY! Can you help support this wobbly little kitty?

Diva Danielle is a young female DSH gray tabby cat. Already spayed, up-to-date on her vaccines, and described as a friendly girl, this queen bee wants to be the sole queen of her castle. A home with no other kitties would probably be best for this furry royalty.

Lady Elaine is a young female Rat Terrier/Feist mix. Dumped by a family filled with children and other dogs that she loved dearly, Lady Elaine now finds herself facing death simply because "the children were tired of feeding her." What a TERRIBLE way to treat such a lovely lady!!! Her buddy, Prince Tuesday (see below), faces the same sad ending unless someone comes to their rescue IMMEDIATELY.

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10542893
Prince Tuesday is a smiling young male Min Pin/Feist mix. Brought in by the same "family" (and I use that term VERY loosely) as Lady Elaine (see her sad "tail" above), Prince Tuesday might not live to see yet another Tuesday. Forsaken by those he once loved and trusted, he was put out like yesterday's trash just because "the children got tired of feeding him." Let's hope the children's parents don't get tired of feeding the children!!!

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10542950
Wyatt Earp is a STUNNING young male Chinook/American Bulldog mix. The famous Western cowboy with the same name once lived in a town named Tombstone; let's hope that this furry boy doesn't soon end up UNDER a tombstone. Even though he has a face to die for, there's NO need for him to die at such an early age. Please help this precious little cowpoke!

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10543427
Banjo-Kazooie, perhaps named after the animal-filled Nintendo game with the same "moniker," is a young male Labrador Retriever/Flat-Coated Retriever whose eyes can literally pierce your soul. Described by the shelter volunteers as "a big, fluffy, and friendly guy," they also know that he likely doesn't stand a chance of being rescued or adopted simply because of his color. Please don't let the light fade from this beautiful boy's eyes. Perhaps an interesting footnote, the Nintendo game Banjo-Kazooie was originally going to be called "Dream"....I'm guessing that this boy is doing a lot of dreaming right now - ones filled with lots of "what if's" and "if only's."
