TEXAS: Emergency Help Needed for Texas Pitties and Potbelly Piggies and their caregiver

THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD, LEAVING THIS RESCUER AND HIS ANIMALS HOMELESS.
Another dedicated and selfless rescuer asking for nothing more than to protect the animals and continue to save more. Out of the blue, the property he has been leasing is being sold and he has less than two months to find a replacement so that the animals he has healed and nurtured will remain in a secure and safe environment until they go to their forever homes. Read on for the full story and contact information. Ideas, leads and if you can, donations can keep this "family" together and safe so Tyler can continue his mission of rescue those others ignore. FACEBOOK PAGE LINK
***If anyone has property or knows of anyone around San Antonio I am desperately trying to find a safe place for us to go. I have 53 days to find something!! Many of the animals in my care are special needs and/or having been horribly abused** I need a property with no zoning or regulations***
  IN HIS OWN WORDS: Almost 2 years ago I relocated to Texas from San Diego, CA. My company relocated so rather than taking a voluntary lay off and being unemployed I chose to relocate with the company and take a substantial pay cut. I have been gainfully employed with the company for 6 years and prior to accepting the position I was employed for several years with another company.

I moved here with my 5 dogs to a great home in Devine, TX where I have leased the property for nearly 2 years and was agreed verbally that it would not be sold for some time. I invested over $4,000
(all of my savngs ) in fencing and other necessities to make it a safe place for my animals and the animals that I have rescued since being in Texas. I was left some money when my mom passed away, I donated a large portion to other rescues and animals in need as well as using it for my own animals.
I was told last month by the landlord that she wants to sell the property and my lease expires on July 1st, 2013, not leaving much time to find something for my animals and myself. I have always paid my rent on time and have never been late. The sudden urgency to sell the house is beyond my control.

I am not eligible for a USDA loan or any grants. I make too much as the government sees it and my...

Fulton County, GA: Sweet and so scared little girl too long at the shelter



Chaos #A452718 at Fulton County Animal Shelter
First "Chaos" is a terrible name for this little girl.  She is absolutely terrified.  She will not walk on a leash.  I had to pick her up and carry her outside.  When I set her down, she was so terrified, she would not put her front two paws down and sat, shaking, on her haunches.  She was happy to accept love and attention though and cautiously leaned towards me to get more.
 
Here is my weekly plea.  Sweet scared Chaos is in need of an angel.  She has been at FCAS since March 29!!  That is a VERY long time for a FCAS dog.  I'm hoping luck is still on her side and this will find this sweetie a second chance...
 
She a really adorable pup.  Based on her appearance, I thought she was around 6 months old but her teeth indicate that she's more than likely around 2 years old.  So she's full grown at 30 lbs.  She very much has a baby face and super soft puppy-like fur.    I couldn't even begin to guess what she is- besides precious.
Chaos #A452718 at Fulton County Animal Shelter

She's seen her share of dogs come and go in the month plus that she's been at the shelter and hasn't had a problem with any of them.  She would definitely do best in a foster home, where she can learn to be a companion and overcome her fears.

Please let me know if you can help her.  She's running out of time. 
Thank you so much!

*From Siglinda:  For those who are not familiar with this situation, this is Lica, a woman in Turkey, North Carolina (near Clinton, NC) who is battling cancer and who we just learned has gone back to the hospital today, so time is of the essence. This is not a hoarding situation, these cats have been well taken care of and they are healthy. 

Dear all,  We are ready to start pulling Lica's cats ( The 200 cat situation): We can only attach a few pictures due to our server size, but we have pics of all the catsdescribed below. If you would like to see other pics, please email me the name of the cats and I will send them! We will have more to list shortly, but this is a good start.

This woman is a wonderful person, She is losing her life and her cats that are her life! Her cats are all S/N, vaccinated, de-wormed and cared for like babies, and the cats are healthy except a few with a mild URI. I am helping her, with a friend, to put together all the info and photos of each cat so we can help her find good homes and rescue Organizations who will care for her cats as she would. PLEASE help find good homes and Organizations that can take the cats and care for them, they are her heart and we need to make sure they are going to good places! I will send photos and all the information so we ALL can help her and the cats.
