11/8 update: pledges are up to $815 now but still no word on any rescue plan for him yet :-(
11/7/09: Black Chow A1068032 has until early next week, possibly Tuesday, to be rescued and given a loving comfortable life for his remaining years, or he will be put to death. He has $715 in pledges. There is no rescuer for him yet. Alicia Esken wrote: PLEASE HELP SAVE THIS SENIOR CHOW. HIS OWNER ABUSED HIM BY NEGLECTING HIS CARE AND HE IS IN NEED OF SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION. PLEASE DON'T CONTINUE TO LET HIM SUFFER. HE DESERVES TO HAVE A WARM BED AND SOME LOVE AND ATTENTION!
Update 11/7 from Alicia Esken aesken@earthlink.net. Alicia is keeping track of donor pledges. Contact her to pledge! So far, pledges total $715 this morning 11/7. That is the amount to be contributed to the rescue organization who steps up for this boy. There is no rescuer who has stepped up for A1068032 yet. Alicia wrote Saturday 7 November that Whitney (GWTWSCRLTT@aol.com) "has met him he is very quiet and would be very easy to care for. He was shaved down- looks like his eyes are a bit runny but might be a little cold. He looks like he would be happy to just sit on a back porch in the sun and enjoy sleeping now that he is not being attacked by flies!"

This DOG - ID#A1068032

I am a neutered male, black Chow Chow.

The shelter thinks I am about 12 years old.

I have been at the shelter since Oct 03, 2009.

dog impound by oficer severe fly strike poss. mange on rearend madded hair..........

MEDICAL:
1) The pet had alopecia (hair loss) with pink skin visible, and raw, scabby areas (ulcerations) on the tips of both ears. The pet's tail was devoid of hair and had a "rat-tail" appearance.

2) There was generalized matting of the haircoat and hyperkeratosis (flaking or dandruff) of the skin as well.

3) Both eyes had a mucoid discharge coming from them.

4) This pet appeared to be somewhat underweight. His BCS (Body Condition Score) was approximately 3.5 out 0f 9, where 1= extremely emaciated and 5 = normal. The teeth were quite worn in front, probably due to age. No fleas were noted.

Diagnostics and Treatment:

the pet was sedated and shaved. Sedation was deemed necessary because the pet was aggressive on the initial examination and tried to bite. The pet was placed on oral antibiotics to treat the ear ulceration (to treat skin infection) and a drug to help with pain and inflammation.

Conclusion: This pet was removed from the front porch of the guardian's residence because there were many flies swarming around the head of the pet. The hair loss and pink scar tissue as well as the ulcers on the ears are indicative of a condition of fly strike. Outdoor dogs are commonly attacked by biting flies swarming around the ears,
and one needs to apply a daily ointment to the ears to prevent this parasitization (attack by parasites). This pet's tail had no hair, which may have been caused by the pet chewing on its tail because of parasites, either flies or fleas. The Chow Chow breed needs to be groomed periodically, and this pet was matted and had not been groomed for a while. The guardian of this pet had allowed the dog to suffer with fly strike, a condition that was harmful to the pet causing pain and suffering. The ocular (eye) discharge and the unkempt haircoat were also evidence of neglect by the guardian.

PLEASE CROSSPOST TO ALL LOCALLY...
JEFFERSON, ORLEANS, ST. BERNARD, PLAQUEMINES, ST. CHARLES AND ST. JOHN PARISHES!

Your support is needed at a public hearing on the newly proposed Jefferson Parish sponsored non-mandatory/voluntary Low/No Cost Spay/Neuter plan. We need numbers at these meetings to get the council to approve this proposed plan. This is a plan that could spread to other parishes... so please let's all support Jefferson Parish's plan by showing a force of people at these hearings. If you cannot attend both, you should be at least one meeting.

The plan that is proposed in Jefferson Parish is a $5 increase in the rabies tag fee. Generated, by today's population, will be $188,000 annually to be dedicated to a JP Spay/Neuter program for cats and dogs in Jefferson Parish. The majority of these spay/neuters, approximately 6,000 a year, will be at no cost made available to JP residents.

This proposed plan is not the end all, but it is a beginning and if it passes in Jefferson the same could be possible in all surrounding parishes. It will be much easier to propose in other parishes if one is already doing it through a raise in the rabies tag fee.

Please, plan to attend both meetings if at all possible...

Blowing Rock NC: HARLOW is a kitty in need of a nice safe warm place

This poor little girl...it gets COLD up there in those mountains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UUUGGHH!

November 8, 2009
Blowing Rock, North Carolina
Gorgeous Hobo "Harlow" Kitty
This gorgeous kitty was found wandering and lost in Blowing Rock, NC where she has been lovingly cared for over the past few months.
As Winter draws closer she can no longer be kept on the grounds and her caretaker, Holly, already has 4 kitties at home with NO chance of bringing home a 5th. It would be a shame to have to release this girl to fend for herself AGAIN. The choices are growing slimmer and HELP is needed for this deserving soul.
HOBO "Harlow" is a spayed female, approximately three years old. Over the last couple of months, she has made a lot of progress, but she is still very shy. She is not agressive, never growls or hisses, but she is afraid. It is not known whether she has been abused in the past, but she has definitely had a hard life out on her own. She needs a loving, patient person to care for her and restore her trust in people.
She is vet checked and very healthy.
PLEASE HELP US FIND a HOME or FOSTER for HARLOW KITTY!
Thank you,

PLEASE CIRCULATE!

Please help two nice kitties who could be euthanized for ACCIDENTALLY biting someone while eating treats. Read their story from volunteer Lucy below:

I volunteer at the South LA shelter, and I am looking for a foster home(s) for three "rescue only" cats currently at South LA.

Their story: The cats (pictures and impound numbers below) seem like really sweet and calm cats, but unfortunately this past Saturday, while I was feeding them treats, one of the cats bit not only the treat, but also my finger. Even more unfortunate is that I don't know which of the two cats bit. As a result, both "suspects" are currently in observation for 10 days, which is protocol as a rabies precaution. The cats were not at all aggressive, nor even food aggressive, and probably just inexperienced in distinguishing treat from finger. Nonetheless, according to shelter protocol, they are no longer up for adoption and are only available to be pulled by rescue groups.

Their review date is November 10, and if they aren't pulled, they likely will be euthanized, so I am hoping to find someone who can pull them and foster them by this coming Tuesday. In addition, there is a third cat who is pair-bonded with one of the "suspects," and I'm hoping to find someone who can foster her along with her "rescue only" buddy.

Please contact me with any questions or feel free to contact the shelter directly (and let me know if you pull them).

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer! I really hope I can find these sweet kitties a foster home.

When I called the shelter last night to let them know she was safe at home, they said they'd never seen anyone mobilize so quickly and thoroughly - it made them want to help. I never could have done it without a LOT of help. The ACO that picked her up (in a suburb with a tiny AC department) didn't even have to check her tags, she'd already been sent flyers and an APB from the police.

Thank you for my happy ending!

We don't have cute photos of many, because the volunteers just can't keep up with all of the dogs coming into the shelter! Don't these dogs deserve a chance? Please, if you can help any of these poor little waifs, contact the shelter IMMEDIATELY!!!

They've started euthanizing on Sunday afternoons now, so we don't even get one more weekend to help many of them. While volunteers are working adoptions, many dogs are being euthanized. The saddest part is that the dogs are so trusting. They think they're so lucky to be out of their cage and going for a nice walk on the grass, but they're not, they're going on their final walk - forever. It's heartwrenching and devastatingly sad to be there and not be able to help. Can YOU help these dogs -- please???

Another remote shelter in Missouri that gets hardly no notice and the dogs in this shelter don't have much hope except for when networking is done for them.

Chalice has had no response on emails and is reaching out to our nationwide network in hopes that someone will want to help save even just one. I know everyone is full, but if you can share this with friends and family as well, you just never know who may find their soul mate.

Della was a playground stray and a very sweet family brought her home to take care of her but when they knew she needed vetting, brought her to the shelter (possibly her death) because they couldn't afford it.

Mamadog was abandoned with her two pups. The family just didn't want her anymore. She lost her human family and her 2 pups and will now die on Friday at the shelter because she just isn't wanted or needed anymore. Poor Mama.

My heart goes out to Cleo the most. A neglect case, she belonged to the town drunk. Was left tied up all the time without food, shelter, or water. A neighbor always heard her crying and decided to call Animal Control. Precious Cleo is a little gal and will only weigh about 40 pounds. She would make a lovely companion if only given a chance.

And last but not least, is Pitty Baby. She was dumped and the shelter staff says that she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She is smart as a whip and sweet as the day is long. She just wants a family of her own to love her. What is really neat about Pitty Baby is that she opens the cage to her kennel each day to greet the ACO. Can you imagine? What an amazing little girl.

Sadly, their time is up this Friday.

We don't have much time, but miracles have happened before and we can hope for one this time. Please take a few moments to read the bio on each pup below from Chalice's email. Considering they only have a couple days left to live, it may help to say a prayer for each one as well.

The contact person for these sweet babies is Chalice Zuvekas
shserescue@gmail.com

Chalice will even make sure vaccinations, worming, flea treatment, short term fostering and transport are taken care of. She just needs someone to open their heart and the door of their home/rescue to one or more.

Thank you for caring as well as crossposting.

More than 27,000 animals are destroyed every day; more than 1,000 are destroyed every hour; and one animal is destroyed every minute of every hour of every day. Only 12 to 14 percent of dogs are adopted from shelters nationally. The average age of an animal that enters a shelter is between six and eighteen months. Approximately 85 percent of those "in the market" for a pet desire a dog younger than one year old. Older dogs have virtually no chance for adoption; their stay in the shelter is usually a brief interlude before death. (from Randy Grim's book 'Don't Dump The Dog)

To: Wyvonnia Neeley <wyvonnia@gmail.com>

Wyvonnia, all of these dogs have been posted before and I've gotten no interest at all. I asked for more time on Mamadog and got this week but if the pound fills up, she will go. The pittie/AST is out of time on Friday. I pulled Cleo to get her out of the environment but she is still "impounded" and will have to go back if nobody can help.

Would you be willing to send them out to your contacts and see if we can find any help? Right now large mixed breed dogs just have no chance at all but I thought I would give them at least one more try.

Chalice

DELLA is a 3-4 month old Shepherd Retriever mix puppy, probably mixed with some sort of long coated retriever. She is already over 40 pounds and is going to be a very large dog, 80+ pounds when she is fully grown. Very friendly and social. She was brought home by children who "found" her in a school playground and kept until it was time to get vet care. Family could not afford that so took her to the pound.

MAMADOG was picked up two weeks ago with two older puppies. The family let the pups go and were supposed to pick up Mama last week. They didn't show up, have not returned calls to Animal Control so unless somebody steps up for her or I beg for time, she will be put down Friday. She is very sweet and friendly, we think a Catahoula mix. AC says gives no problems.

The black and white pup (I'm calling her CLEO) was picked up by AC for neglect. She was living tied up outside without shelter or regular food and water. The neighbors complained because she cried all the time. The owner was a town drunk who spends all his time in the bar or casinos, lives without utilities and spent no time with Cleo. She is being held past her time in hopes of finding somebody to help. She is probably a lab/border collie cross, Will not weigh more than 40 pounds grown. She is at least six months old now. Very sweet and social with people.

PITTY BABY The brindle/white is a female pit or American Staffie (mix?) who apparently was dumped. AC says she is about a year old and there is "not a mean bone in her body." Very social and really wants to be with people. AC says she is very smart. She has learned to open the door to her cage inside the pound to meet the ACO.

Soft Hearts will provide vaccinations, worming, flea treatment, short term fostering and get to transport if there is somebody out there who can help!!

Los Angeles: URGENT! NEED DONATIONS TO SAVE THIS TINY 15 YR OLD CHI FROM NORTH CENTRAL

Subject: URGENT! NEED DONATIONS TO SAVE THIS TINY 15 YR OLD CHI FROM NORTH CENTRAL!

Hi,

I know there are so many pleas we've sent this week to save red listed dogs from the shelters and other pleas as well, Sorry about sending this one right now on top of those, but there is this precious, tiny long haired geriatric chi at the north central animal shelter that needs out ASAP due to age and medical issues. This little guy came in as a stray, OTC (over the counter). hmmm makes me wonder, if that was his owner who dumped him, that just didnt want to pay the $25 relinquishment fee. He is only 7 pounds, 15 yrs old with serious dental disease, skin allergies, and posssible hypothyroidism, and whatever other geriatric condition he might also have. We wont know until we get him out of the shelter what his true condition might be as it appears he was seriously neglected.

This little munchkin is very sweet and and scared and should not be in the shelter at all. He is just so fragile and the odds are against this little soul, that he would most certainly never make it out alive! We just cant let him die in the shelter. This little guy has been through so much and we would love for him to be able to spend the rest of his life relaxing in a cozy little doggie bed and getting non stop TLC.

Due to the fact that he was not properly cared for we will definitely need to do a full blood panel, dental with IV fluids, x-rays etc. We are tapped out from some of the other special needs doggies we have taken out in the past few weeks.

If anyone is able to make a small tax deductible donation we are trying to raise at least $800-$1000 to cover all the basic medical costs to properly care for him.

All donations can be sent to:

If you receive an incomplete funding plea post from sources other than joy@ruraldogs.org please contact me for a copy of the original post. Ygroup & Cross-post recipients please e-mail joy @ ruraldogs . org <--remove spaces

Hi all:

At this time, there are 22 dogs & puppies at Beebe AC - a rural, municipal shelter located north of Little Rock, Arkansas in a landfill setting. Only a handful of these dogs have acquired rescue and out of those, only one acquired an immediate departure date over the past weekend. The shelter is now beyond capacity and populated, primarily, by large dogs trotting throughout the communal shelter yards. This is a dangerous situation for ALL. Immediate evacuation of the majority of dogs and transport to several temp boarding options MUST BE implemented STARTING MONDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2009 or the postponed euth appointment for dogs with rescue will go back in to effect TODAY. ACO has been in phone contact with me multiple times per day EACH day since Thursday. Something has GOT to GIVE NOW! This is an outdoor, landfill shelter with two communal yards and a separate, broken down holding pen for pups or special case dogs --all in a rough and tumble environment replete with Western Rattlesnakes, periodic break-ins & vandalism and additional perils. I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR DONATION HELP to remove as many dogs as possible to bring the shelter population back under control. Without the assistance, I cannot fix this situation for any of the dogs - with or without pending rescue amd THEY WILL DIE THERE, QUICKLY.

PLEASE ACT ON THIS PLEA NOW!

If you cannot provide immediate financial assistance so that I can

secure out-of-shelter, temp boarding for as many dogs as possible,

please forward and cross-post this plea to ALL YOU KNOW!

E-NETWORKING / CROSSPOSTING ASSISTANCE PERMITTED,

(Photographs of the second half of Beebe AC's current dog population forthcoming)

The cost of boarding varies from $8 per dog per day (limited capacity) to $12 per dog per day (also limited capacity and stay time). My goal is to get half or more of the dogs currently at the shelter OUT today (26 October), tomorrow and Wednesday. If I don't make at least a 6 dog dent in the population TODAY, I have serious concerns as to whether I will be able to get any out. First round funding is estimated at $1,000 to $1,200 to cover average boarding fees for a seven day period and allow for mandatory incidentals such as Bordatella or minor health issues during time of stay. I know it's a lot and before all said and done, it might be more but I've got to move these dogs or they're sunk and probably future dogs at Beebe will be as well since I could not meet an imperative goal this week.

Subject: Request your help

I live in Killeen, TX and our local animal shelter suffered a devastating loss this weekend. A fire broke out in the kitchen area of the shelter and over 100 animals lost their lives early sunday morning. I am sending out a cry for help. They are in dire need of donations, volunteer services, and repair services. Here's their story:

A fire ripped through the Second Chance Animal Shelter of Killeen, TX (there are more than one under this name in the USA) in the early hours of November 1st 2009. As a result, over 100 animals lost their life, and many more required fostering while repairs are conducted. The outpouring of support from the community has been AMAZING. I swear I have never seen the parking lot for the shelter that full. So many people there to help, so many folks making donations. Every animal they wished to foster, was fostered. So, lets keep this going so that their needs for donations and volunteers can be filled as well. Please pass along to all your friends, share on your friends Facebook pages, Myspace Bullitens....whatever we have to do to keep this going and help the animals.

VIDEO

The Shelter is unable to adopt any animals out at this moment. They are closed until further notice. Offer to foster and give whatever support you can. Thank you all who have spread the word. If you visit the shelter, please part at the back of the property so that service trucks can get to the front of the building. Usually there is someone there to direct traffic, however, sometimes there may not be. So, please try to park so that the service vehicles can get through to the front of the building. Again, thank you all for your support.

There is no electricity and no phone service at the Second Chance Facility at this time. However, they have updated their web page. Current count of animals lost in the fire - 99 Cats and 15 Dogs. The damage is mainly in the kitchen area however, that entire wing has suffered damage and requires repair.

They are in dire need of many items required to rebuild/repair: paint, primer, paint rollers, any paint supplies. Also, they require the services of any able bodied person willing to donate their time to help with the rebuilding project.

All animals that required fostering have been fostered, however, they will take your name and information down should a foster home not work out for them.

Continue to pass this along to your friends as they will require our help for a while until this is able to be rebuilt.

This link http://www.centexhumanesociety.com/fire110109.shtml wil take you directly to their updates on the situation.

This link http://www.centexhumanesociety.com/html/wish_list.shtml will take you to their standard wish list of items they always need if you need ideas of things to donate.
This link http://www.centexhumanesociety.com/ will take you to their homepage and PayPal button if you'd like to make a monetary contribution.

Last but not least, if you would like to donate time, skills or anything else and need to speak with an official representative of the organization, contact lizrainey@hot.rr.com to coordinate.

Thank you very much for your help, I hope that you are able to spread the word. Thanks again and god bless you for all that you do.

UPDATE 2 ON ELEVEN NOW SHAFT

Eleven's diagnosis:

Bumps bruises and scrapes all over his body, a very bad infected open wound and a back leg with several fractures that has to be amputated. No internal injuries Thank GOD!

He is stable at this time, eating like a piglet which is a good sign and waiting for his surgery.
He is in no pain right now as he is on painkillers, on antibiotics and fluids resting comfortably at the vet clinic.

Now more than ever he needs your help, please help him.

The estimate for his medical is HUGE ranging between $1,500 and $1,700 much more than what we thought.

The link below is Eleven's fundraiser page, please donate and share his page please.
This is urgent as the surgery will be performed this coming Monday.

http://hurricanepetsrescue.chipin.com/hurricane-pets-rescue-inc

This link below is for you to see the vet estimate for his surgery.

http://members.petfinder.org/~FL584/Eleven%20estimate.pdf He has a sponsor, the sponsor hasn't back down, it is just way too much money exactly $1,700 (could be more).

Eleven's sponsor doesn't only help Eleven...she helps many shelters and many animals that have medical needs, if she spends all this money on Eleven she will not be able to help another animal in need for a long time.

If we can all Chip in for Eleven then another animal needing medical will be save.

In these cases even a $1.00 donation counts, if you cannot help please take the time to share this e-mail.

To donate directly to the vet:

FYI. My friend's rescue center, Villalobos (Ca.) Rescue Center, finally got an air date on Animal Planet for a new reality show. Tia's got over 200 dogs in her rescue, most adoptable but some are life residents for many reasons, but this show has the potential to not only increase adoptions for her and those dogs, but increase compassion, awareness, and yes, adoptions in all areas. It might also help counteract the terrible message still being sent by HSUS's support of Michael Vick as she hires parolees to help care and maintain the facility. So these are non dog-fighting guys who made mistakes but who treat the dogs with compassion.

Ok, off my soap box ... it airs tonight at 10 pm. Set those Tivo's....

10/31 update from DeDe: "Heartworm negative!!! Whoo Hooo!!! Just some nasty hooks and whips, easy fix. She weighs 36lbs and is thin, so she should be a 40ish lb dog. Vet thinks she is about 3yrs old."

Alrighty, no one has spoken up for this sweetie. I cannot bring her in to Collin County Humane Society b/c I am at my foster limit and none of our other fosters can take her.

I am willing to keep her if someone can sponsor her through their rescue or if I could get donations to my vet to get her vetted.

I just cannot take her to the shelter only for me to be begging for her life in five days. She is a very special little girl, who by god if it kills me...her luck is going to change.

Please if you can donate below is my vet's info. Just give them my name and tell them it is for Leona. Please can anyone help me help her?

Got a call fm my vets office about dumped/found dog of 121 in Anna, could I help? I did my usual send me pics and info, yada yada and then the lady said "she would go out and try and find her to get pics!"

What??? Thats right, they left this poor girl on a cold wet very busy highway. So needless to say she is at my house. I cannot foster her b/c I am at foster limit. If I take her to Collin County she will be put down. So pls can anyone make room for her?

So far she seems to be good w/ other dogs and she loves kids. She was starving and has woofed down two bowls of food. She may know some basic commands too, further testing required. I asked her to sit for her pic and she did. She is about 3-4yrs. Had quite a few litters. She is small, maybe 20-25lbs.

Here are pics, let me know if you can help......
