We have a 2-3 year old Beagle in need of rescue. He's a male and is a
little shy but is sweet. He was found stray and had been seen running
around lost for a few weeks. He gets along with other dogs and ignores
cats. If anyone is interested in this small sweet guy please let me know.

"The Story

Willy's Kitty Angels was founded in 2008 in response to the stray and feral cat populations in Webster and Dudley.   In March of 2009, Willy's received non-profit status from the IRS.  Between 2004 and 2010 Willy's trapped, neutered, and returned 350 feral/stray cats in their service area.  In 2010 we became a PetSmart Charity Adoption Partner, and moved our home base to Northbridge.  In November of 2010, our adoptable cats and kittens moved into the adoption center at the Millbury PetSmart.  Since then, we have found homes for over 1000 cats and kittens!  Out of those cats and kittens adopted, no more than 10 have come back to us for being a bad match to their forever humans.  We believe the foster home network philosophy works, unfortunately the fact we do not have a building limits our ability to apply for funding and grant monies..

Please consider reading and sharing this entire story.

A couple of years ago, I met a young woman online. She does dog rescue in rural southwestern West Virginia. Her name is Jessica Hill White and she runs A Reason To Believe Animal Rescue. This is a very small rescue with only a few foster homes. It is such a rural, poor area that she has a difficult time finding people who can safely and responsibly foster dogs. The one adoption she did in the local area in the past year turned into an owner surrender a few months later, so Jessica strongly prefers to send her dogs north to screened/approved rescues where they can find indoor forever homes.

On June 5, Jessica suddenly and unexpectedly lost her mother. Her mother was not sick and she died within minutes of arriving in the emergency room. Jessica is only 27 years old. To say this life-changing event has devastated her is an understatement.

The week prior to her mother's death, Jessica was called to a site where 30+ dogs have been dumped over the years. The owner of the property feeds them but obviously can't provide a good quality of life for so many dogs. He is working with her to catch and rehome these dogs and will alter the ones that can't be caught so the population stops growing. 

This morning, Jessica posted this on Facebook:

I ask that people please stop contacting me about animals at this time. I lost my mom June 5th, please have some respect. When your msg starts out with " I know this isn't a good time but"---- just stop- you're exactly right- it's not a good time. When is it a good time? I have literally 40 waiting so your animal will go at the end of that stack & by that time surely you can have managed to help it yourself. I'm exhausted, a kind of exhausted that sleep doesn't help & I'm at wits end.


Yes, literally within a few days of her mother's death, the requests to surrender dogs started up again.

I'm asking you, if you are a rescue in the northeastern US, to consider pulling a dog or two from her. If you are not, please share this post to rescues in northeastern states. Jessica has free, regular, reliable transport available to northeastern states. She does her best to fundraise so she does not have to charge the rescues anything for the dogs she sends. She just wants them to go to loving, forever homes. She treats for whatever illnesses or injuries the dog has prior to transferring it to another rescue. She does 4DX testing and worms with Panacur and vaccinates on intake. All dogs are altered prior to leaving unless it is medically unsafe to do so and the receiving rescue wants to take on the medical case. About 95% of the time, she handles all of the medical care before sending the dog to another rescue. 

Jessica is a nurse at her day job and has an excellent relationship with her local veterinarian. She takes on the medical cases that the other local rescues walk away from. She is not someone living in a poor rural area with no education who's sending out sick dogs to rescues unaware. She really, truly does her best to ensure you're getting an accurate health and temperament assessment. If any placement with another rescue does not work out, she will always take her dogs back. If you are a rescue in a state north or east of WV, please consider helping her.

Thanks for anything you can do.

6/7/16 Stop Abandonning Your Cats, People. Organizations like Boston's Forgotten Felines Feed About 200 Cats Each Night. Many Are Friendly Cats Whose Owners Dumped Them. See Video of One Feeder Who Feeds These Precious Cats Starting at 1 AM. This is the Only Meal These Cats Have Each Day.

New Website For Boston's Forgotten Felines.  Seeing the cats run out to the food in the dark makes me think each person who dumped their cats needs to be charged with animal cruelty. We know this won't happen. Irresponsible cat owners continue to flood the street with their actions.  The  cats suffer, the babies born outside become feral. Why is it that those who act in this way are free to live their lives and continue to create chaos in society and create so much heartache and misery for the cats? I don't have an answer except that  perhaps we as a society allow these behaviours, encourage them by making personal responsibility a thing of the past.
