Boxer/ shepherd adult mix. Max and Jake are brothers. They have minutes, hours, maybe a couple days to live.

Who They Are

"The county officials have decided to start an animal control for the citizens of Robertson County. The City of Springfield graciously is allowing me to use 12 of their outside kennels at the city shelter. I am the only employee. I have a list of unwanted and abandoned pets to be picked up.

Here is more good news.

Patches rescued!!!! Coco adopted locally!!!! They were on Thursday Feb 7th post.

Remember Dozer, the dog with severe heartworm?
http://itsrainingcatsdogsglixman.blogspot.com/2007/11/rottie-dozer-doesnt-feel-so-good-he.html

Here is the update on Dozer from his foster mom sent to the Mason Rescue Group.



"I am long overdue for a very Dozer update! Where to start, where to start…
The great thing is that Dozer is really eager to please, and responds well to reprimands (as when he went for my kitty) and praises. Gosh, he really is a sweet dog...he enjoys playing, walking, jogging, but also just sitting with us. He'll lie down with his head and front paws on my lap, and just appreciates the company. Sometimes I can tell he's a little sad, and I wonder what his life was like before. Such a smart, responsive dog. He's so gentle and actually behaves like he's been exposed to children before (ie, he tolerates me hanging on him, giving him love, and he curls up like a lap dog).

Have you ever had a dog turn on you? And I don't mean bite, but just express annoyance or upset if he is scolded or made to do something he doesn't want to do? (I assume so, working with so many animals) All of my past rotties did that; they made it clear when they were unhappy, though they would never really retaliate. Dozer is exceptional. He never expresses anything but an eagerness to please, and does things--like goes into his crate for bedtime--without much resistance.
Where we do have a problem is my cat. He wants to get at her. She's been hanging out upstairs, and he downstairs, which has been working fine and will work for a bit longer. But he's definitely can't be adopted into a home with cats.
As he's gotten more comfortable, Dozer has gotten more difficult for my mom to handle when I'm away during the day. I actually think (unfortunately because he'll be leaving here) that he's gotten attached to me being around…the one who can run and really play with him…and then gets a little ornery when I am not around. Ornery in that he bounds about the downstairs looking for me and voices his discontent with barks and cries. So my mom is pretty stressed out. Hopefully we can get him adopted sooner rather than later!
He looks A LOT better already. He's gained some weight (maybe 7 lbs) and we keep clean and brushed. He doesn't shed much, which is nice. He's kept having diarrhea off and on, so he's been subsisting on rice and chicken and the occasion treat. I think maybe the pills we gave him a few days ago turned his tummy back into upset mode. But he drinks a lot and doesn't seem dehydrated or uncomfortable. Just has runny poop.
He's doing great with commands, sit, come, stay. I've tried to nurse him off the gentle leader, but it might be best to stick with it! He's doing well with heeling, but will pull after squirrels. He tried to get at road kill yesterday. Yuck.
I have a friend who may be interested in adopting Dozer."

Transport to Northeast 2/18 /The Endless Well of Urgent Animals/ Bowling Green Kentucky Shelter Overflowing

Animal lovers and rescuers are amazing human beings. In the face of the endless stream of abandoned animals, they continue to go forward to save lives. Please look at these faces and help in anyway you can. I just cannot comprehend why there are not stricter laws against animal abandonment, why people are allowed to dump their pets at shelters and then get get new ones. I think anyone who leaves a pet at a high kill shelter should never be allowed to own an animal again. Since they consider their pet disposable why should they have the privilege of taking a precious animal into their lives only to later say sorry, can't keep them.


"After an exhausting week and sending out 153 dogs and puppies to rescues in the past 5 days and euthing 15 today for space, the Bowling Green Warren County Humane Society shelter is again OVERFLOWING! They are BEGGING and PLEADING for rescues and adopters to step up and save dogs. They are transporting to the northeast on 2/23 and can bring a LOT of dogs up on this transport. They just need rescues to start committing by Monday 2/18 so they can get vetting done in time for transport. PLEASE, PLEASE, if you have any foster space, check out their website and contact Deana & Lorri ASAP!"

There are so many wonderful dogs and cats at this shelter. There are puppies, kittens, purebreeds, all american mutts. Please save a life. There are too many too post. Please check out the Petfinder site

Judy is sponsored $35, so she can go home fully vetted for $40!!! WooHoo!!! INTAKE DATE: 10/30
AGE: 2 YEARS
Judy is a sweetie who has been waiting for a new home for FOUR MONTHS!!! Every time people walk by her cage, she gets up and presses herself against the cage bars until they have walked past. You can almost see her dissapointment. Sometimes I wonder if she knows what's happening when other kitties are taken out of their cages and put into the arms of loving adopters. I wonder if she knows where they're going and where SHE'S NOT going. Please consider adopting one of our longest residents. Judy is a good girl who deserves all of the love in the world. Please don't pass her by.

Look at Last Picture on this Post/Lemon and White Beagle EUTH DATE Friday February 15

Uno made it big at the fancy dog show. It is about time beagles get recognized. There are many beagles in need of homes. Here are a few.






"My name is Valentino, but you can call me Tino. My foster Mom told HART to relate this better description on their web site. I'm not quite sure how I wound up homeless, but I'm just looking for someone to love me as much as I'll love them. I'm kind of reserved in public places - I want you to know that I can be on my best behavior. When I get home though, I like to let my hair down! I play really well with dogs and people of all sizes. In fact, I'd love to go to a home with another dog. My foster mom says I'm Houdini reincarnated because I like to make a break for it on occasion. I never really go too far, but do enjoy my 'adventure outings.' As much as I love to be around kids, I probably shouldn't go to a home with someone younger than 10 because of my love of 'adventure outing'. Mom says to tell you that I walk well on a leash and know how to take a treat like a true Southern gentleman. My new home should not have cats or any small critters. I'm a very good hunting dog and might mistake your critters for a toy. Please come visit me at the Greenbriar Petco events. For more information, please see our website listing for Valentino or contact nlt060@yahoo.com."

HART adopts to the local DC/VA/MD metro area only.





"Valentine is a very shy, very unsocialized beagle, who had babies about two months ago, and is now looking for a home. She will no doubt need another dog in her home with her, and a fenced in yard is a requirement for her, since she has a 'flight' look in her eyes whenever she is frightened. She has a loving foster mom who has worked hard to establish a relationship with her, but even so, it is going to be a long-time committment to making friends. Apply online to adopt, at www.humanecampbell.org."

:"WILL HUNTING SEASON EVER END??!!! Another beautiful Beagle has come to the shelter as a stray, with no owner caring enough to claim her. She is a little shy but just wants to reassured that things are O.K. Angel needs a home where she can be kept safe. Maybe she just wants to be a pet and not a hunter."

Coweta-9 Dogs scheduled for Euth 2/12! Coweta NEEDS HELP!



Harley is scheduled to be pts on 2/12 , Family dumped this sweet dog.Because they could find no responsible solution( if they even tried) they dumped Harley at a high kill shelter. How could they walk away knowing this could be his fate? Some people are irresponsible with their children and their pets. When dogs are owner surrendered they are often given less time to be adopted. In some pounds they are given less than a week.

STOP ANIMAL FIGHTING IN WEST VIRGINIA


After the whole Michael Vick's trial you'd think people would think twice before participating in animal fighting. But for many the thought of being charged with a crime for supporting animal fighting is no deterrent. Help stop animal fighting in West Virginia. Call on state legislators to support S.B. 566 which would make gambling on animal fighting a felony.

LAILA THE BOXER ON HER WAY TO MASON*RESCUED!!!!!




This little girl Laila is on her way to Mason. She is probably between 1-3 years and has had her rabies shot. She will still need to be spayed before going to rescue.


If you are interested in Laila contact

mcasrescues- owner@yahoogroup s.com

"Found female black/brown brendel boxer in Hurricane, WV. She has adorable lopsided ears and a docked tail. She has white tipped paws and small white markings on her chest and up under her chin. She is probably only around a year and looks to have had a litter, but is not lactating. Very friendly with me, daughter, golden retriever and my three cats. She's been running our neighborhood for the last few weeks. She's now very happy to be in a warm home with food, water and a warm quilt on the couch. She is a super sweet dog and deserves a good home. "

VETTING BILL CRISIS!

PLEASE READ! We have just been notified by Help For Animals that the old debt from the former group that ran the shelter MUST be paid off in the next four months or they will suspend vetting service! Please DO NOT sponsor any of our current dogs at this time. Instead, please send a contribution toward paying down the old bill (current balance is $5,125)! THANK YOU!

This is a he said/she said situation and the animals are going to LOSE! Without HFA, we cannot continue the rescue program as we will not have anywhere to get animals vetted. Once again we are calling on our supporters for help. You have never let us down in the past and we're counting on your generosity now!

The old group that ran the shelter until last summer has not paid this bill. The county refuses to pay it and it has now come down to a disupte between the county and Help For Animals. The board at HFA has decided to try to pressure the county into paying the bill by cutting off vetting service. We can't blame them. They have been VERY patient in waiting for this payment. The simple fact is that if it's not paid, our rescue program is done and this will become a high kill shelter.

BEGGING! Think of the animals! Please contribute whatever you can! Don't let these animals die due to politics and mismanagement! The people who ran up this bill and didn't pay it are no longer involved in the shelter. These animals need YOUR HELP! No amount is too small!

Please call Vanessa at Help For Animals to contribute: (800) 953-7297
Tell her to apply it to the bill for the Mason County Animal Shelter.
HFA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donation is tax deductible.

THANK YOU! You can also click on the sidebar graphic to donate.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 7, 2008 BEAR WAS ADOPTED!!!



VERY URGENT!



POOR BEAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO INQUIRIES!!!


Why do the photos of many shelter pets make them look like they have silver, green, or red eyes? Those colors make the animals look like they are from another planet. Bear's eyes are fine. "Bear is a doberman mix that is approximately 5 years old. He is good with other dogs and he doesn't bother the cats. He is a very friendly, sweet boy that needs a home. He is a good watch dog and will bark when someone comes near. He is not aggressive, but just wants his people to know that they have visitors! Bear needs everything done. Please help this dog! He is such a sweetie and he desperately deserves another home."

If you want to sponsor a dog, please also crosspost that dog to rescues to try to get it more exposure and a commitment. Local foster homes needed for pull/short term hold while the dog awaits transport to rescue.

We are also trying to fundraise to file for 501c3 status. We are operating on a shoestring and haven't been able to pull together enough money to file. If you can contribute, please mark your PayPal donation for "501c3 paperwork filing". Thank you!

PayPal to SavingGaffneyPets@yahoo.com (yahoo.com)

We pull from the local high kill shelter and also try to help keep dogs out of the shelter by working with local residents to rehome their dogs. Mary works very hard and really needs your help! We are located near the SC/NC border in Gaffney, South Carolina...close to Interstate 85...only 2-1/2 hours from the southern VA border. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

To inquire about any of our pets, please email us. To get our rescue or adoption application, please join this group. ALL dogs at the shelter have VERY LIMITED time. Sponsors needed for boarding and vetting. Boarding is $8.50/dog/day. Vetting/health certificate is $100/dog. PayPal to SavingGaffneyPets@yahoo.com. We also need supplies of Parvaid and LOCAL FOSTER HOMES!

NATURE's two-part special DOGS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

"NATURE's two-part special DOGS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD tells the epic story of the wolf's evolution, how "man's best friend" changed human society and how we in turn have radically transformed dogs. Part one, "The Rise of the Dog," airs Sunday, January 13 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS. Part two, "Dogs by Design," airs Sunday, January 20 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings for both broadcasts).


Despite the plethora of new shapes and sizes, dogs have retained the instincts bred into their ancestors by thousands of years of work: the urge to herd or hunt, to dig and to guard. In DOGS BY DESIGN you'll discover how these hard-wired behaviors help different types of dogs, from hounds to herders, excel at different tasks (and why it can sometimes be so difficult to train them to do otherwise). You'll also learn how dogs' finely tuned senses are serving humans and saving lives."


I am sure PBS will be rebroadcasting this show. Check out http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/dog/

This show impressed me. Anyone who loves dogs and is frustrated by some of their so called "bad"behaviours will learn why dogs do what they do and why modern society needs to create a new kind of relationship with dogs. That saying about no bad dogs, only bad owners is really about the lack of communication between owners and their dogs.
