more bang for this BUCK!

buck (buk) noun INFORMAL a young man, esp. one who is bold, lively, vigorous, etc.

This is BUCK, a Red Tick Coonhound!  He is 3-4 years old, 45-50 lbs., all vaccines up to date, and a sweetheart!!!!!  His "smiling" face and wagging tail show you what a healthy, handsome and friendly guy he is. Isn't that face stunning? And the name Buck is perfect (see the definition above) because it matches his "bold, lively, and vigorous" personality. He’s good with female dogs… a bit exuberant with males. He has a lot to say and is hungry for attention and exercise, so he would do best in an outdoor situation, with a fenced yard.  In fact, he'd be a great watch dog and would love the chance to make you feel safe and secure!  
Buck is one of the hounds that was rescued from the Sussex, VA pound on his scheduled death day. Please give him the 2nd chance he deserves and call us to foster or adopt him!  We know he'll make you proud!!! 

Contact Jessica, Be Kind To Animals at stovall125@aol.com or phone 804-478-4000.  

If no answer, leave a message - all calls will be returned.

If you can’t foster or adopt, please consider a donation. Click the Paypal Donation button.

check out our happy beginnings page for heart-warming follow-ups.

Reposting: These 5 dogs are still in the kennel

Did you know that a rescued dog can become the best friend you've ever had?  There are still 5 Sussex Hounds at the boarding kennel that need a home...Buck, Fred, Twiggy, Bella and Foxy.  Why not foster or adopt one of these dogs today?  We guarantee you'll make a friend for life!  If you can help donate please please press the donation button in the right column and enter an amount. These Doggies Thank You!    NOTE: All 10 Sussex hounds need forever homes, but we are grateful to the foster homes who took the first 5.

This guy needs your help too!

UPDATE -- Hooray!! Houligan's Rest has stepped up to take him, but he will still need a temporary inside foster home.
Sweet older shepherd mix wandered into someone's yard on Sunday afternoon (01/16/2011) in Maidens, Goochland (VA). Black with tan legs and face, muzzle going gray. Big shaggy mane, looks like he had a collar on recently. Friendly, skinny, missing his family. Animal Control picked him up on Monday the 17th with plans to euthanize on the 23rd (today).  However, a group of rescuers and Houligan's Rest have stepped in to save his life. We will have a direct contact within 24 hours if you know who owns this dog, or anybody who might want to adopt him. Please don't hesitate to help!

It's one of those awwwww moments

FILMORE 
and FLOSSIE

These two are such lucky dogs.
They're now living on a farm in the western part of Virginia

Information submitted by Jessica Stovall

There are still 5 more dogs that need to be placed in foster, or better yet, adopted into loving homes. And the 5 that are already in foster homes will still need to find permanent homes as well.


Please send your donations to such a worthy, rewarding cause.
Thank You.

BACK TO FIVE .... WE NEED YOUR HELP

The interested party that had talked of fostering Bella has backed out. So we still need to find foster homes for the remaining five, or better yet, adoptions for all the dogs. If you can't foster or adopt, please consider a donation, even small amounts like $1 will add up. Any amount can make such a difference --Click the Paypal button and help these dogs have a second chance.

AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR...

Well, folks...amazing things are happening!  Today... FILMORE, FLOSSIE and JINNY left the kennel and are on their way to foster care.  And we just found out that on Sunday, BELLA is being picked up.  Thank you everyone so much for helping us help these sweet doggies!!  Now we need to concentrate on getting Buck, Fred, Foxie and Twiggy out of there.  How about pledging to foster or adopt one of these sweeties?  Or send a donation for vet care and boarding?  From personal experience I can tell you that rescued animals are by far, the most loyal and loving of all creatures on this great planet of ours.

IMPORTANT NOTE...Rescued/Fostered dogs still need placement in forever homes.   All of them will continue to need your help until that happens. Please take a moment to consider what a difference you could make in their lifetime.  Please take a chance...and give them a second chance.  You won't regret it.

AND THEN THERE WERE SIX...

We'll know more tomorrow, but it looks like Flossie and Filmore found homes!

AND THEN THERE WERE EIGHT...

Good news!  A second dog is fostered! It's Sophie...and she is one happy hound dog!

ABOUT SOPHIE:  I am a Female, 6 yr old Lemon Walker Hound, 35 lbs.  I live in a foster home now...but I still hope to get adopted.  

Help us help them by cross posting this information far and wide. Several of these dogs require medical attention as soon as possible in order to be ready for immediate placement.  In addition, we have the ongoing cost of boarding while they wait for their next home. Tell your friends, families, and coworkers about The Plight of the Sussex Hounds. Our goal is to see each and everyone of these sweet doggies fostered or adopted before the end of the month ...AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP.  Their future rests in your hands.

TANNER IS THE FIRST TO FIND A FOSTER HOME...and then there were nine.

It was a dreary day outside, but I felt glorious inside!  I was on my way to pick up Tanner. Tanner is a 2 year old Tree Walking Coon Hound. He doesn't know it but his life had been saved the day before by a woman who loves hound dogs and had been watching the situation at Sussex County Pound in Stony Creek, VA. Urgent emails had been posted and cross posted among animal rescue networks.  They told of a shelter, a kill facility,  where even though they had free dog runs - these dogs were scheduled to be destroyed!?  If anyone can explain that to me - please do!!   Actually the vet had been scheduled to be there on the Tuesday right after Christmas, but due to bad weather he did not make it.  But he was definitely coming on Jan. 6,'11 - and the majority of dogs to die would be hounds.
I had been seeing the urgent messages with photos of the dogs and felt like I really wanted to save at least one.  Really I wanted to save them all but didn't really have the means to do that.  Who really does?  Well, Jessica, an independent animal rescuer in lower VA did do just that. She went to see the dogs and did not want any of them to die. When I made contact with her she explained to me that even with sponsorship money for some of them - rescue groups weren't taking. She told me that for some reason Hounds get treated rather shabbily.  If you asked her she would probably say that she doesn't know how she did it - but she did it. In 10 days She pulled 16 dogs. 6 before "D" day and 10 on "D" day.  The first 6 went to rescues, and she took the 10 to a boarding kennel. On January 7th I went and picked up Tanner who I will foster until he finds a really great home, because he is a really great dog.  Of course I met the other 9 when I went to pick him up and they are all great, sweet dogs.  Most of them are Coon Hounds. In case you aren't familiar with Coon Hounds let me give you a description.  This information is from the web site of the Northeast Coonhound Rescue which has been very helpful to us with these efforts we are making.

"Coonhounds make great pets because they are calm, gentle, and playful with families and other dogs.  Coonhounds  range in weight from about 45 to 70 lbs and come in a variety of types including, Redbone, Black and Tan, Blue-Tick, Treeing Walker, Red-Tick, and the Plott Hound.  Because they were bred to be hunting dogs, coonies have a strong prey drive and must always be contained in a fenced area or walked on a leash.  They need their daily exercise, but once they've had it, they can snooze for hours. Coonhounds are affectionate and love being with their people. Enthusiastic and eager to please, coonhounds are also sensitive Nothing looks more miserable than an unhappy hound dog.  As great snugglers, coonhounds make excellent companions when watching TV or curling up with a book. Coonhounds are a distinctly American breed of dog, bred by the early settlers who needed dogs that would tree their prey in the forested colonies of America, unlike the foxhounds who chased ground prey in the open fields of Britain.  They were bred from foxhounds crossed with other European hunting dogs.  George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both kept coonhounds.  The Disney character Pluto, with his floppy ears and tail, was based on a coonhound.  The expression 'barking up the wrong tree' originated in the 1800's and refers to a coonhound's hunting behavior."
My name is Karen and in the past couple of years I have developed a passion for helping animals.  I have a special interest in handicapped pets and my friends Christine, Pam and Jacqui, from www.handicappedpets.com have joined with me in trying to help these 10 dogs. I live in Va, but they live as far away as GA, TX and AZ - yet they are still helping these VA hounds!


Now we desperately need to find permanent or foster homes for these dogs as boarding is expensive. We are currently working to raise  funds in the event that they must be boarded a little longer and for some veterinary care and other necessary expenses. These wonderful people and more are helping with many things besides their own generous personal donations. We are researching rescue groups who might be able to help these sweet hounds, and preparing the info to post the dogs on the internet, writing this article for the Daily Tail, and Jacqui, an artist - who has helped us before with a beautiful red dog named Reva - you may have read about her here too!- is going to paint a picture of these dogs and donate the money from the sale of it.


If you think that you can help in any way - please contact us.  If nothing else please say a prayer to St. Jude, who is the patron saint of difficult situations and lost causes.  These dogs deserve good homes!
