1/7/16 Shelter Euthanizes for SPACE!Code Red. Please Save This Dog's Life. Granville County Animal Shelter - Oxford , NC "Raleigh (Handsome Humble Dog) is in a full Shelter! - Granville County Animal Shelter, Oxford NC - "Tomorrow they will have to make some tough decisions and Raleigh is one of the long ti "mers." Urgent! "This guy is very humble, he is calm, and always waits patiently and quietly for his turn to run around in the yard. RALEIGH is very friendly and affectionate, and would like to be a lap dog."

  •  I know this is hard for the shelter (I don't  fault them- it is policy) but imo euthanizing for space is a very disturbing policy. A life is taken because there is no space. Think about what that means. It is truly and deeply an act of giving up on a precious life and letting people get away with dumping animals. Rip: Died because on this huge planet there is no space for a dog. Come on now. We must do better for these animals and REQUIRE accountability to the people who irresponsibly add to the problem. You tell a dog or cat, sorry we have to euthanize you,  you will stop breathing and die and we will make this happen because we have no space. How utterly low we have come as a society and as a world. Not just in terms  of respect for animal life but respect for all forms of life.


DOGS EUTHANIZED  (I think this is a different than the ones  to be euthed tomorrow if not rescued, not sure)WERE OWNER SURRENDERED. OWNER COULD NOT AFFORD DOGS.  DID THE SHELTER TRY TO HELP THE  OWNER?  I don't know the story at all about what happened here. In general  across the board  IS THIS ANOTHER REASON TO DESTROY A LIFE?  HERE IS MORE INFO ON THIS. OWNER SURRENDERS AT MANY SHELTERS ARE TRADITIONALLY THE ONES WHO GET KILLED FIRST. ANOTHER GREAT LIFE AFFIRMING POLICY. GOVERNMENT RUN SHELTERS CAN ALLOW OWNERS TO BE IRRESPONSIBLE AND  WALK AWAY AND MANY DOGS GET KILLED. These animals are not garbage or belongings no longer needed.  Euthing animals  who are healthy and adoptable and even those who aren't is okay because they can do it. It is allowed legally. The legislators in the state make these decisions if I am correct. It  is not okay. If you are upset by these policies help make change by getting involved in  the powers that be in your state or city.
 What is okay is to help owners keep animals. What is okay is to find a way to  run these shelters differently and educate the community. The gas chamber was once okay for animals and we all know it was never okay.


  Info on dogs killed. One dog saved.

"Pride ~ IM ~ Female, Mix Breed, 45 pounds SKINNY body score 2 out of 9. Owner surrendered – Cannot Afford, Intake 12/30/15. Came in with Feather, Al and Wrangler. Sadly Wrangler and Al were euthanized 1/6/16 because of new intakes - no space

    Meet Raleigh !
    Raleigh was picked up by Granville County Animal Control on 12/21/15 as a stray.  He is 1-3 years old, and had a 3/9 body score, and the tips of his ears were bleeding.  He is 38 pounds. 
     
    This guy is very humble, he is calm, and always waits patiently and quietly for his turn to run around in the yard.  Raleigh is very friendly and affectionate, and would like to be a lap dog.  
     
    There are only 7 other dogs available at the shelter right now and it is full.  The other dogs there are either legal cases or on mandatory hold.  Tomorrow they will have to make some tough decisions and Raleigh is one of the long timers.


    If you have room in your organization for Raleigh, please contact me at:
    gcpare@aol.com (at aol.com) as soon as possible. We can help with
    pulling, transportation, vetting arrangements and short term fosters if
    needed.

    Thank you for all that you do!
