4/29/11 Missouri Puppy Mill Bill "allows the stacking of cages, leaves temperature, exercise and veterinary care requirements unenforceable, allows female dogs to be bred at every heat cycle with no rest between litters, and places no limit on the number of dogs a breeder may keep. Most significantly, it does not set specific standards, but defers to those set by the Missouri Department of Agriculture"

"Missouri Legislature Passes Governor-Backed Puppy Mill Compromise
We’ve been updating News Alert readers since last summer about our efforts to pass common-sense, humane reforms for large-scale, commercial dog breeders in Missouri, the Puppy Mill Capital of America. On Election Day 2010, the state’s citizens approved Proposition B, the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act—and animal lovers around the country rejoiced!
Unfortunately, Prop B’s victory was just the beginning of what has become a long, drawn-out saga of might against right. In a startling development last Monday, April 18, the Missouri Department of Agriculture, representatives from the dog breeding industry, and a few agriculture special-interest groups and local animal welfare groups announced a so-called “compromise” agreement on puppy mill reform. Legislators tacked the language onto an unrelated agriculture tax bill as a last-minute amendment, and both chambers passed it on Wednesday, April 27. Governor Nixon, who played a part in arranging the compromise agreement, is expected to sign it into law.
“The ASPCA was not part of the negotiations and does not support the agreement,” says Cori Menkin, ASPCA Senior Director of Legislative Initiatives. “The language crafted by the participating groups is far from an actual compromise—instead, it guts many of the core provisions to protect dogs in commercial breeding facilities passed by voters last November.”
The agreement, which will nullify Prop B, allows the stacking of cages, leaves temperature, exercise and veterinary care requirements unenforceable, allows female dogs to be bred at every heat cycle with no rest between litters, and places no limit on the number of dogs a breeder may keep. Most significantly, it does not set specific standards, but defers to those set by the Missouri Department of Agriculture—which is free to change or lower these standards at will.
The ASPCA is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the will of the voters is honored; to that end, we are poring over new language to determine our next steps. We are far from defeated, and the movement to protect thousands of dogs in Missouri’s puppy mills is not over! You can help by continuing to spread the word—please share this article via Facebook and Twitter.

An active an playful puppy; he'd be great with kids of any age.

ADOPTION: If you want to adopt an animal in need, please request an adoption application from the shelter via email stating which dog or cat you wish to adopt. Please include the identification number and not just name alone. Completed applications are faxed back to the shelter for the approval process. Please be patient during this time - approved adopters will be contacted once it is completed. Full veterinary services and boarding are available at Four Paws Veterinary Hospital and transport of the animal to the hospital is arranged.


GA AND OUT-OF-STATE RESCUE: Please contact the Barrow officers for specific information. Approved GA licensed rescues can pull animals free of charge with the veterinary care being the responsibility of the rescue. Out of state rescue, please contact Barrow for more info. At this time, the shelter does not have specific out-of-state transport help, but may be able to assist with local, short distance transport if needed and the volunteers are available to do so.

CATS: The adoption fee for any cat is $100. The fee includes: spay or neuter, physical exam, fecal exam, deworming, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, and microchip. For licensed Georgia rescues there is no charge to pull a cat, but no veterinary services come with the cat. Out of state rescues, please contact us for details. *LAST DAY means the date the cat is scheduled for euthanasia. If we have a cat posted whose last day has passed, that cat should be considered extremely urgent. Please call about those cats immediately as they may be subject to euthanasia at any time. We remove postings on available cats when they leave the building or their adoption has been completed. If you are a rescuer who has spoken for a cat or a person with an adoption application on a cat, do not take offense. We have had rescues and adoptions fall through in the past and we work hard to make sure no cat falls through the cracks.

DOGS: The adoption fee for all dogs is $100. The fee includes: Spay or neuter, physical exam, fecal exam, deworming, rabies vaccine, distemper/parvo vaccine, and microchip. For licensed Georgia rescues there is no charge to pull a dog, but no veterinary services come with the dog. Out of state rescues, please contact us for details. *LAST DAY means the date the dog is scheduled for euthanasia. If we have a dog posted whose last day has passed, that dog should be considered extremely urgent. Please call immediately about those dogs as they may be subject to euthanasia at any time. We remove postings on available dogs when they leave the building or their adoption has been completed. If you are a rescuer who has spoken for a dog or a person with an application on a dog, do not take offense. We have had rescues and adoptions fall through in the past and we work hard to make sure no dog falls through the cracks.
TRANSPORT FOR OUT OF STATE ADOPTERS AND RESCUES: Transport is the responsibility of the adopter/rescue respectively. At this time, the shelter does not have specific transport help. There are multiple resources available for this and please ask those involved in the rescue community for recommendations and references if needed. For a list of transport resources, please send a request via email.


IF YOU WISH TO SAVE AN ANIMAL IN NEED - PLEASE DON’T DELAY! Contact the shelter as early as possible to begin adoption/rescue preparations. Euthanization typically is on Wednesday mornings and Barrow is closed to the public. Contacting the shelter NO LATER THAN 5:00 on Tuesdays is in the best interest of the animals as it allows sufficient time to make adoption or rescue preparations without risk of last-minute issues. The shelter makes every available effort for the animals, but they need your timely and respectful cooperation to continue these efforts. Wednesday: please email the Barrow Co. officers BEFORE 8:30 AM if an animal is still in need of rescue.


SPONSORSHIP TO HELP THE ANIMALS IN NEED is greatly appreciated. If you wish to sponsor one of the animals, please send an email to satoashley@comcast.net (comcast.net) stating who you wish to sponsor. The  information is forwarded to the officers at the shelter. Sponsorships are meant as ‘pledges’ only for future donations to the approved rescue that pulls the animal(s) to assist with their medical needs.


WANT TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED FROM THE MAILING LIST? If you would like to be added directly to the Barrow County weekly list of animals in need + updates, please send an email to satoashley@comcast.net  (@comcast.net). Please specify dog, cats or both if desired. If you wish to be removed, simply send an email with 'remove' in the subject line.

Meet Naamah♥ Another pup found all by itself next to a Highway! :-( She is around 8 weeks old and has mange. She started treatment today. She is full of life and is a hand full. :-)
******************************************************************



Bill, 803-3383, Pit X boy, very scared and very sad in this place. :-(((( His face says "What have I done to deserve this? "Nothing, Billy boy... You just happened to be born into this cruel world and ended up with the wrong "humans." Let's pray that the right human is just around the corner to save your little soul…
**********************************************************************




Robbie, 803-3380, brindle Pit X boy, around 2 years old, a little shy, he looks stunning!!! No doubt you would be the talk of the town if Robbie joined your family. Just look at him! Is he not unusual?! I'd say that Robbie is a real find and I pray to God that he is saved by that one person he was meant to be with from day one.
************************************************************************



UPDATE: Pocahontas has sponsorship for spay and vetting!!!
Pocahontas, 803-3381, Hound X female, 1-2 years old and super sweet. I have not words to describe the beauty of this girl... She is more than stunning. Her coat shines and the white on her chest, snout and legs nicely off-sets the beautiful brindle color. She looks so sad and forgotten... See the expression in her eyes... It's breaking my heart and I hope it's breaking many because she needs to be noticed before it's too late... Also notice her poor little paws sore from the bleach used at this AC. The AC is very, very old and falling apart. The water remains in puddles on the ground, it's always wet in the cells...
***********************************************************************


Sheba, 802-4814, brindle/blue Hound X girl, around 12 months old and very sweet. She is very depressed and sad in this place... Just look at her expression, the way she sits... Can't you see her literally shaking of fear and uncertainty?! She is a beautiful girl with so much love to give to a great family...
***************************************************************************


Kusko, 805-243, Hound/Lab Mix, NEUTERED & MICRO CHIPPED! The owner was located but is in Texas now. He is very upset (that were his words) that Kusko now ended up at AC. He thought he had found him a good home before he left. He wants to come and get him after the 5th of May... That's a long time being at AC and we really don't see it happening anyways... This sweet boy is so lost in here, just laying in his kennel not knowing whats going on. :-( I thought I'd still post him... just in case his owner changes his mind, as we are expecting to happen....
********************************************************************



Sam, 806-1402, Bull X male, around 15 months old, very sweet!  Sam is like a puppy in many ways, he is active and playful and has the most adorable floppy ears.  Look at him smile for the camera!
************************************************************************



Snyps, 803-3390, Pit male, around 2 years old. Look at the very sad look in his eyes... Unsure about all what has been happening to him. :-((( He is a sweet boy!
***********************************************************************



Hunter, Handsome Retriever mix boy, around 2 years old. Sweet boy! He has some hair loss on his back and behind, which seems to have been caused by fleas.
*****************************************************************


Kane, Bulldog Boy, stunning young man, around 12-18 months old. Super gentle and sweet. Kane's markings make him a handsome boy. Almost Boxer marking if he had the big round eyes. Now that's a boy to cuddle up in bed with on cold nights. He would surely keep you warm and make you feel so very loved.
**********************************************************************



Madison is a super sweet Hound X girl, around 12 months old. Total cutie and love bug.♥ Hounds are one of the breeds that get overlooked again and again. Some people think they are hunting dogs and can't be pets. What a horrible and sad misconception. :-( Hounds make some of the best pets. This little girl appears to have a lot of Beagle in her and I know she could make someone very happy.
**************************************************************



Red, 801-0804 - Is listed as Hound but I am positive that he is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix! He is very handsome, beautiful coloring, around 2 years old and a very sweet boy!!! He has half of his left ear mising... :-(( It's a fresh wound and unfortunately it looks like it has been chopped off. :-((  Another misfortune that I just found out about is that he was attacked by another dog in his kennel and got several puncture wounds to his face as a result.  This fight was not started by Red, Red loves other dogs…
*************************************************************************



Meet Twix, 803-3392 - Adorable Blue Pit boy, around 2 years old, very sweet and so crossed eyed that you can't help but giggle when you look at him. :-)))) We had him around female dogs and he did great!
********************************************************************



Apollo, female American Bulldog, 3 years old. The former owner is known... He rehomed her and then she was dumped by her new owners... My question is, why wouldn't he take her back when finding out that the new home that he picked wasn't a good one??? Instead, he has her go to AC??? Well, I guess now he doesn't have to worry about her anymore, she's no longer a "burden" to him... :((( Apollo is good with other dogs and children.
********************************************************************



Ava, 806-1410, female Beagle/Hound, around 4-5 years old. She came in wearing a tracking collar. Either the tracking didn't go that well or she is just too old to hunt... Fact is, she is not being picked up. Ava is a very sweet girl and laid back. I think she is just tired of her life... She is very skinny and covered in ticks... poor baby. I hope we can show her that there is a better life out there...
********************************************************************



Gus, 804-4813, male Bulldog X, 1-2 years old. He is a very short legged and strong boy and is totally sweet. He does not like other males however.
*********************************************************************




UPDATE:
Louis has a chipin link now that already has $100 of sponsorship money in it and Pittie Ambassadors will up Louis' sponsorship $100 - so he has a total of $200 sponsorship now. This will apply to vetted adoptive homes to help with transport. ♥
http://savemorelives.chipin.com/louis-vetting-and-transport

Hello, my name is Louis and I am a Pit Bull Terrier. I hear that my breed is the reason why I am still here. I don't understand that at all but there must be some truth to it because nobody seems to want me... I have been in this very dark and wet cell and I have been watching all the other dogs leave. They have gone to wonderful, loving homes. They get to play and sleep in a warm bed and they get to have friends - humans and canines. But I am still here. I try to look cute when people come to see me, yet they pass me by. That's a Pit Bull, they say... Here we go again. I just don't understand. :-( Isn't there anyone out there who could love me even though I am a Pit Bull? I am ready to be loved and to love. I am ready to be hugged and to hug back. I will protect and be loyal to my family... if a family would just give me a chance. But I am told I don't have much longer. The end of this week could be the end of my life... Please, I am begging you, I am not ready to die.

4/19/2011 The Truth About the ASPCA by Nathan Winograd- Why Were Animals With Rescues Killed?

"It is not easy to conceptualize 20,000 lost lives. Studies, in fact, show that when we see one animal or one person in need, we feel an incredible amount of empathy and pain. But as that number goes up, our empathy actually goes down. No one knows why. Perhaps it is our brain’s defense mechanism to allow us to cope with horror and still be able to go on about our daily lives. If we could actually feel the pain of a genocide in Darfur or the slaughter that goes on in shelters every day, the pain would be so great we’d be paralyzed by it. Perhaps it is because as the numbers go up, we no longer see names and faces but statistics. In other words, we do not see “Baby” or “Justice” or “Patrick,” but just numbers: 20,000. Perhaps it is because when the numbers are high, it becomes “common” and therefore less foreign; a case of custom reconciling us to what would otherwise be seen as an atrocity. As hard as it is to conceptualize, as hard as it is to feel the pain when the number is that high, we have to try. When we stop seeing it for the bloody, inexcusable, unforgivable horror that it is, we lose a bit of our humanity. Each paw below represents one animal killed despite a rescue alternative in New York State. As you scroll through them, let your eye fall on each one.."

ADL-LA would suggest you add the LAAS web site to any facebook walls or when you cross post so people can find out easily where the six shelters are located since the shelters are unfortunately NOT listed in any phone books or by the information operator.
ADL-LA has heard through an inside employee at West Valley, that because of LAAS General Manager Brenda Barnette's enthusiastic and "can do" attitude, more employees and volunteers are stepping up to the plate with creative ideas and videos! This video was made at the West Valley Shelter for their Adult Foster Program. ACT Supervisor Sergio Rios and Volunteer Paula Hsien get the credit for this!
The web site for LAAS is www.LAAnimalServices.com 
(ADL-LA will try and find out when the new, user friendly web site that Barnette apparently helped create is up!"

4/17/2011 A Person at Shelter Who Euthanizes Animals Talks About Euthanasia.She Holds Back Tears. Watch Video. Please Show This To Everyone. The Shelter paradigm and laws need to change. Euthansia is mercy killing. What shelters do is kill (not mercy killing), you could say murder which is the word the shelter worker uses. She is the person to give the lethal injection.

WARNING- VIDEO IS GRAPHIC. YOU SEE ANIMALS GET INJECTED WITH NEEDLES   AND DIE.
To see the animals being killed is very disturbing but we all have (we cannot pretend this does not  happen) to see this and know what is being done and be outraged enough to get involved in the no kill movement or in some way to stop the killing.

Description
Greenville County Animal Care Services Urgent





Some things you should know when working with us:


1.) Not all animals listed on this email are available TODAY! Please look at the “available date” under each animal picture to see when they can leave the shelter.


2.) When you reply to confirm dogs, please include in your email what rescue you work with.


3.) Dogs are not heartworm tested until a rescue confirms them (unless otherwise noted). If you CANNOT take a HW+ animal, please mention it when you confirm!


4.) We CANNOT guarantee the health of an animal. We focus on preventative health and do not have the resources to have every animal vet checked prior to placement.


5.) Pull fees MUST be paid at the time of confirming the animal, and at the absolute latest, when the animal is picked up from our shelter. We no longer invoice- sorry!


6.) PTS dates listed are approximate and are subject to change due to available space in the shelter and the health of the individual animal.


The $50 fee for cats includes alter, chip, deworming, FVRCP/rabies vaccs, feleuk/FIV combo test and flea treatment. The price is the same for kittens.


Out of state adoptions/rescue allowed


TRANSPORT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOUR AREA---JUST ASK US!


Please be patient with us. We intake 20,000 animals/year and have only 2 staff dedicated to the rescue placement process. We sift through 100+ emails/day. We will respond to your inquiry, but it may be a brief exchange and may not be immediate. Thank you for understanding!


It is “kitten season” so keep in mind that we have no space and these animals will be pts on their pts dates unless space becomes available. RESCUES please confirm when pick up is… we cannot hold them.


Sponsoring an animal does not guarantee that the animal will be rescued. It does make it easier for a rescue to pull that animal, as they can pull the animal with no charges for the vetting.


**GCAC will try their best to accommodate Private Adoptors, please inquire they will have you fill out an adoption application.


**The only way to save a cat that has a PTS date today is to have a rescue
put a hold on them to pull them!


If you can help, please email: animalcareservices@greenvillecounty.org

Attached is a picture of Nellie, a very pregnant Red Nose Pit Bull Terrier mom-to-be who is currently located on death-row at Liberty County Animal Control in Hinesville, GA.  Nellie is a tiny little thing, just look at the picture and notice how she does not even reach the knees of the person standing by her.  She is young and looks healthy and she is tremendously sweet to everyone.  She wants nothing more than to be loved on and thrives on attention.  Liberty County Animal Control is a dungeon...  It is wet, dirty and all around unsanitary.  If Nellie is given the chance to live until she has her babies, they will surely die in there.  The nights can still be cold and I have more than once found tiny puppies lying on cold, water soaked blankets, which gave them upper respiratory infections that would lead to euthanasia...  Please, if you can help Nellie and her unborn babies, let me know immediately or call Meike at 912-610-4239.

I'm doing a transport to Jacksonville, FL this Saturday morning.  I would be more than happy to pick Nellie up as well and bring her to you if you are in those parts. 

Blessings,

"Subject: BEGGIN!!!CABOOL, MO/GORGEOUS, needs help fast, please crosspost!

We must save her before she is killed or bred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brindled Female dubbed Pantera
Pantera showed up at a kennel in the Ozarks. The kennel owner stuck her in
"with her Shih Tzu's" while she searched for an owner but after thirty days of
advertising and talking to landowners no owner could be found. Obviously, being
bred by Tzus is not in her best interest and the kennel owner doesnt want her
around. She is outside the city limits and cannot get animal control services
or this girl would of been gone by now!! She seeks foster based rescue as soon
as possible.

 Feisty- another dog in need

"Fiesty is 2 yrs old, born late 07 and weighs appx 45lbs. Her owners are elderly and the gentleman due to illness has become disabled and they are no longer able to care for Fiesty. Fiesty is a happy girl, bit timid of strangers but gives kisses once she knows you. She is up to date on shots and spayed.  Her owners say she is very active, curious, obeys commands, & leased trained for walking.  They will miss her greatly but know the risk to animals left alone when their owners die."
