http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=15366324

"I'll sponsor this fella if someone will please save him.
He's scared at the shelter
(you would be too if you were about to be stuffed into
a gas chamber box and killed)
so he was not put out on the adoption floor so he
has no chance of getting
out alive unless someone works with the rescue
listed below today.
He needs to be pulled by 4pm.



More About PTS 12/23 #9062
Please include the tag# with your inquiry for faster service.
If you are with a rescue, please include the name of your
rescue and
501c3 status in your inquiry.

THIS IS A HIGH KILL SHELTER - ANIMALS WILL
BE PUT TO
SLEEP ON THEIR PTS DATE AND NEED TO BE
CLAIMED BY 5PM
THE NIGHT BEFORE THEIR PTS DATE. IF YOU
ARE AT ALL
INTERESTED IN THIS ANIMAL, PLEASE DON'T
HESITATE -
THESE ANIMALS LIVES DEPEND
ON QUICK ACTION.


Please read the following description of the shelter's policies on
pulling non-adoptable animals. If you are not with a 501c3 rescue,
you will need to contact someone from Animal League
of Gaston County
to help you pull the animal.

We are a group of volunteers that try to help the dogs/cats
at Gaston County
get into rescues and adoptable homes, but we don't work at
the shelter and
don't usually have a lot of information on the animals
(unfortunately).
Animal
Control employees do not do a thorough
behavioral evaluation of the
animal or a vet check
and we can only guess as to what breed we
think the animal might be - practically
no animals come into this shelter with pedigrees, so there is no guarantee
on animals being a specific or advertised breed. We just
try to get their info
out so people learn about them.

This animal was not slated for the adoption floor by the
Animal Control Kennel person upon intake,
so there is no

adoption fee for the animal and the animal
WILL BE EUTHANIZED

on it's PTS (put to sleep) date. This shelter
uses a GAS CHAMBER.

There are many reasons why they are not slated
for adoptions (underweight, overweight, shy or scared
to be at the kenne
l (this is the typical reason and most
dogs are freaked out by being at the kennel),
o
bvious health issue
(dogs and cats are not vetted at all), too old, or
the owner says the
dog is aggressive or has some sort of issue
(this is another very
common reason because owners turning animals into the
shelter are afraid to admit out loud that they just don't want
the animal anymore and make up an excuse as to why
they are turning the animal in).


Because this animal was not chosed for adoption,
it has to be adopted
out through the Animal League of Gaston County
or a 501c3 rescue
can pull the animal out. This animal can be
pulled out of the shelter
after 4PM the day before it's euthanize date
(the day before the
PTS date in the dog's name on petfinder). ALGC
will require a vet
reference for people not from a 501c3 rescue
stating that all
pets are up to date on vaccinations, are spayed
or neutered
and dogs are on heartworm preventative.
Adopters are required
to get the animal vaccinated and spayed
or neutered at their
expense within 2 weeks of adopting the animal
or by the time
the animal is six months old. We have no
kennels to house
the animals, so they are required to be picked
up by their PTS date,
else they will be killed.


You can visit the animal anytime before it's PTS/release date at
Gaston County Animal Control. The shelter is open daily from
11am - 5pm and the first Sat of the month.
There are directions posted on this
site: http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/animalcontrol/HoursContactDirections.HTM.
Information on the Gaston County
Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic can be found
here: http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/animalcontrol/GastonClinic.htm.

Please act quickly to arrange adoption for this animal,
they are given very little time before they are euthanized.


Thank you for inquiring.

If you don't like the idea of dogs/cats being inhumanely
euthanized in a gas chamber - contact your Gaston
County Commisioners
(http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/CountyCommission/CommissionersPictures.htm). Your tax dollars are paying for this cruel method of euthanasia.

"DOZIER"
PLEASE Save Dozier!!!! Dozier came to the shelter on Sept 22nd as a stray. He is now fully sponsored for vetting (neuter, vacs, deworming & hw test). Also, since he tested hw positive we managed to raise the money to have him HW treated. This FULLY SPONSORED dog is now going to be euth'd if we can't find him a rescue very quickly!!! Dozier is on one of the cable tie-outs at the shelter w/ an igloo for shelter. He has become so distraught and upset at shelter life that he is literally slowly losing his mind. This poor dog spends his days fixated on invisible demons in the ground. He stares at the ground ALL day long and barks at it. Volunteers even moved the leaves around to see if there was something there, and sadly there isn't. It's just leaves and dirt. When Dozier is taken off the tie out and walked around he goes back to being a normal sweet dog. As soon as he is put back on the tie-out he becomes fixated with the ground
again. It is unfair to make Dozier live like this any longer. Because he has become DISTRAUGHT at the shelter and is obviously so unhappy the shelter is going to euth him if we cannot find a rescue to take him. Please don't let Dozier's life end this way. He has waited for 3 long months at the shelter for someone to claim him as their own and show him love. Please consider how your mental faculties would be after being on a chain for 3 months. I do believe that I would lose my mind as well. Dozier deserves so much better than this.

Email Rescue Coordinator, Monica, if you can save Dozier:
monicaw77@bellsouth.net



Here is Dozier's profile/bio:

I totally wigged out a volunteer the other day as she claimed I was wearing a tri-color hound costume. I nearly laughed my head off she did NOT recognize me. You see, I have been at the shelter for months now and up until a few days ago, at best I would sniff hands in my kennel and allow head pets. The idea of walking on a leash simply turned my tummy! I must have drank some funky water or some such nonsense, because I determined that it was time for me to trust people and broaden my horizons. The first step was to head out for a walk and that is where the volunteer spotted me! I must say, I'm really proud of myself. I have been slowly added pounds to my frame since my arrival in the summer and now I have started to show everyone what a special dog I am. Did you know for example that I am a great conversationalist? Did you know I'm great on a leash....I'm patient and calm...good with other dogs...attentive and affectionate? I did a really poor job in
sharing these intimate details earlier with you and am simply beaming as I share them with you now.

#2964-9/22-M-hound-stray Stayed as still as a statue in his igloo the whole time I was in his kennel-He wouldn't even lean over to sniff my fingers when I put my hand in his house.

Black German Shepherd - Zeus

Zeus is only about a year old, has lot's of energy and is a strong boy.

He loves to play, chase after tennis balls, and get doted on. He is

solid black and it appears he may be slightly mixed with another

breed, possibly Black Labrador. He is a bit on the skinny side

but nevertheless stunning.

RESCUED!!!!Rottie mix Bruno abandoned in Fort Stewart

None of us can understand how Bruno's former owners could just let him
go. He is a very good boy, great with other dogs and loves people and kids.
He is very, very sad to be away from his former home and it is heartbreaking
to see him so depressed. He is obviously mixed with Rottweiler but is
much smaller than pure-bred Rotties. He was starved when he came
to Animal Control and at first refused to eat. He actually prefererd
being petted over eating, which is really sad when it's a dog that's
already been missing out on a regular meal. He has a micro chip
with a disconnected Fort Stewart number. He needs a home that
will not do this to him again!!!

Medium sized sweetheart needs you now!

Our little Sissy weighs only about 35 pounds and will not get much bigger.
She is the perfect family dog! She loves literally everyone, other dogs, children
of all sizes and adults. She has a very petite little face with gorgeous amber
colored eyes and a little pinkish nose. She cuddles in her cold cell with her
buddy Faith. Sissy is loved very much by a wonderful lady up north, but since
she can't adopt Sissy she has offered to sponsor her spay, Rabies shot and micro
chip in
hopes of helping to find her a new home. Sissy needs you badly. She has
been at Animal Control way too long and her time is running out much
too quick. Isn't there someone out there who can offer this little girl
a forever home?

Dolly, Shiba Inu mix is quite a sight!

Look at the pictures of Dolly and tell me that she is not a very pretty dog!
Dolly is only medium in size and is fully grown. I guesstimate her weight
at about 35 pounds. Her hair is almost white and very fluffy. She is very
good with other dogs and children and would be sure to be a show stopper
if taken to the park. Almost everyone who has met Dolly has mentioned
that she looks like a Shiba Inu mix and that is what I see in her as well.

Itty bitty Gina, the Terrier mix!

Gina is everything you love in a Terrier. She is small, spunky and cute!
She loves to be loved on and she has fun playing with smaller dogs;
though, she's a little intimidated by larger dogs. She is good around
kids and has a wonderful personality. Her ears are probably the
cutest thing about this little package. There's no telling what all
makes up this cutie pie, but Terrier is a sure guess.

Sad little Black Labrador mix...

Eclipse has had a tough life already. He came into Animal Control
very skinny and full of scars. He had obviously chewed through
a leash that he must have been tethered outside with. Poor boy
is not liking his cell at all. He is sharing the cold cinder block prison
with 5 other pups and he is the largest with his approximately 5-6
months of age. How can a pup so youn already be so scarred. He's a
sad sight to behold and I am afraid he will not make it out of Animal
Control alive. Still, I am posting his pictures and story in hopes for
a miracle.

Suzie Q needs you!

Suzie is a very pretty young lady with an outgoing personality.
She loves other dogs and is great around people. Her look is adorable;
her white is bright and clean looking and she sports very pretty orange
spots. She appears to be mixed with Boxer and Bulldog and is not a large
dog. I think she weighs around 45 pounds and I don't think she is going to
grow much more. She is a very happy dog and would love to have a forever
home with a yard to play in.

*************************************************************************************Hoss,

Hoss, the PBT mix is a hoot!

Hoss is a very fun dog and it is clear that who ever had him before
he ended up at Animal Control spent a lot of time with him. He acts
like a puppy and is care free. He likes to pounce to show you that he
wants to play and though he is a rough player with other dogs, he
does get along with them. He is not very tall but is very solid and
heavy. He is completely charcoal black and has a great face, framed
by floppy ears. He is still young judging by his demeanor. I would
not guess him over 2 years old.image 1518074474-1

How sad...

All dogs tugg at my heartstrings at Animal Control but every once
in a while, there is one that seems to make my heart ache a little
more than the others. That would be Elvira. Elvira is a litty Black
Labrador mix with very large, round sad eyes. She is malnourished,
full of worms and covered with ticks. What happened? I can't imagine
the life this little girl has had so far and she's only a baby, at the most
6 months old. What makes this so hard on my is the fact that she is as
sweet as a dog can possibly be. She is so thankful for every little petting
and softly spoken word and she loves everyone who will pay her a little
attention. When I look at her I don't see the dog she is now, I see a very
pretty, shiny, well fed sweetheart of a dog - that is what I am hoping for.
Most of you want the perfect animal, well, Elvira will be perfect if you just
give her that chance. Please look ahead and see her the way I do.

Rescued!!!Large, handsome bloke, looking for love!

This boy is an absolute joy to interact with. Cesar is as sweet in temperament
as he is large in size. He is 95% Rottweiler, the only thing that's missing are the
tan eye brows. When you first meet him he looks intimidating but just moments later it is clear that he is nothing but a big baby. He is great with other dogs and is wonderful with humans. He comes when you call him and it seems that he would be very easy to teach tricks to. He looks to be around 3 years old and could quite possibly be house broken. Do you have room for a big, lovey?

12/25/09 RESCUED!!!!Little guys need love, too!

Camillo is a very unusual looking little guy and I honestly have no idea what
breeds are
mixed into this small package. I imagine that Terrier might be a possibility
due to his size. He has a bobtail and very cute floppy ears. He does have a
little growing left to do because he is only a puppy, probably around 8-9
months old. He is spunky and very friendly. He gets a long with other dogs
and is very curious. He loves to be petted and would not mind at all if you
brought him home for Christmas.

Why I'm not impressed with hunters!

This is an example of why I'm not impressed with hunters! Okay, so
I'm generalizing but us rescuers see hunting dogs just like Vera all the time
- malnourished and obviously not well taken care of. Vera is shy but looking
for human contact. She seem confused and doesn't understand why she is
being kept at Animal Control, isolated in a cell. It is clear that she is used to
being around other dogs and it would be so great if she could go to a home
with another dog to keep her company. But the truth is that Vera may not
make it out at all... Hunting dogs are one of the breeds that rarely do. She
would need a home with a high privacy fence, as she can jump a 4-foot chain
link fence with ease. Vera recently had puppies and her nipples are droopy
and will need some time to shrink down again.

URGENT - Miniature Pincher lovers!!!

Mischa is a tiny little pure-bred Miniature Pinscher that was obviously used
for breeding and her former owners never even felt it necessary to put her on
Heartworm prevention. Due to this, poor Mischa is high heartworm positive
. We cannot help this poor little baby but you can! Mischa is adorably sweet
and begs to be held. She is a cuddle bug like no other and is great around other
dogs and even cats. Her favorite place is your lap. She only weighs about 4
pounds and is probably around 3 years old. Can you help this little baby or will
she have to end up euthanized thanks to her former owners who did not care
about her at all...

Mia

Mia was picked up for killing a chicken. The chicken owner

did not think it was funny at all that this little thief

turned up in his yard.

But what he didn't know is that Mia had no home with

people to give her food and meanwhile, she had

puppies to fee herself. She is full of milk but Animal

Control does not know where her puppies are. In this

weather, most likely the puppies are no longer alive...

Poor Mia, she did what she had to do to stay alive and keep

her babies alive but she got caught and ended up in jail.


Mia is adorable and though she might have killed a chicken, she gets along grand with other dogs and even cats. She is a tiny little thing with an adorable face and sweet, sweet ears. She loves to be loved on. When you put her little head between the palms of your hands she will stand very still and look at you. I could just kiss her little forehead over and over. She is kept in a cat cage in the Animal Control office with a little Min Pin. They share their food and cuddle up at night. But how long until both of them have to make room for others that come in? Can you help before it's too late?

Toby's time in the spot light!


Tell me this is not a handsome boy?! Toby is truly a show stopper. He appears to be Chocolate Lab and possibly PBT. He is very well fed and his coat is soft and healthy looking. Toby loves people but ufnortunately was not socialized around other dogs. He would have to go to a one-dog home, which we know is a hard to find. Toby appears to be around 2-3 years old.

12/25/09 UPDATE RESCUED!!!Craigslist didn't work...


We have a copy of Nolan's posting on Craigslist... Yes, he was posted on
Craigslist by his former owner, a military wife who was moving and saying
she can't take him with her. Well, it's too bad that nobody answered her posting because she DUMPED him and left. WHY? HOW? I can't imagine doing that - ever!
Nolan is only a puppy. He is at the very most 1 year old and on top of
that, he's a very sweet boy. He is sharing his cold cell with another dog
and when we let them out today he was so very grateful for the attention
we gave him. He even suffered through the Christmas props on his head
. We're hoping that posting him will work this time because if it doesn't
Nolan will end up dumped again.......... but this time it will be at a landfill.
