Patty Wrote: On Sept 11 “Abandoned Orange Cat, likely surviving alone since Storm Sandy...
So Rosanne M. and I got back on the Fire Island ferry today and rescued a sick cat we saw while we were there on Monday. This cat is so sick but he is now at my vet's for the night, getting fluids, pain meds, antibiotics, and tomorrow will begin steroids. A full blood workup is being done. He was such a good boy on the ride back to the main island! Not a peep! We are raising funds for his vet bill. He may have scabies or just a very severe flea infection; he is thin; he also needs dental work. His jaw was so swollen that we thought he might have been kicked in the face. Nope, but he does have severely infected teeth. My vet said he has likely been in a LOT of pain. This cat is so trusting, so affectionate.” PLEASE HELP US HELP HIM.

(more photos below)

Contact Linda at (615)812-1450 or Linda.Blessing@tn.gov and let her know which dog(s) you can help with.

*From Linda: SPCA of Tennessee has been working really hard to get the last of the dogs located in Westpoint, TN to safety. We have removed approximately 40 dogs over the last 2 months and Nashville Humane has been awesomely working with us to take in what they have room for. We have come down to the wire and the remaining dogs at this location are going to be put down due to financial hardship and more so lack of supervision for the dogs. I have been offered sponsorship on three of the dogs so far to a rescue if they will accept them into their program or assist in getting these dogs to safety. The sponsorship funds will be directed straight to the rescue that saves these dogs. A few have already been put down and another round is set for this weekend if no commitment from rescue is received or they are not moved out ASAP. She is not able to care for the remaining 30 dogs and barely keeps them fed. 

SPCA has reduced the number of dogs from 70 down to about 30 but we are simply unable to take in any more unless it's just for an overnight layover for transport. PLEASE help crosspost if you are unable to help any of these dogs. 

I have pictures and short bios on most of the dogs that may help catch some interest. Most dogs have been spay/neutered and all have had their basic vaccinations. 

Chocolate lab/bird dog mix born 12/12/12. Not spayed but utd on shots....
this dog is under snuggle in the dictionary. wants to please and weighs around 25 pounds.

1 year old lab pyr mix loves to play and does well with other dogs.

Texas is the blk dog in pic and is utd on shots. Wandered up to our house at approx 5 weeks old. Does well with everything furry and starts out shy but warms up fast. People orientated. 45 lbs

Rosie is blk mouth cur mix approx 3 years old. Not spayed but utd on shots. She weighs in around 55 pounds and loves people but can get aggressive with some dogs. Loves to run and play in water.

Lab mix approx 35 pounds utd on shots. approx 1-2 years old LOVES to run and play with the other dogs, but will find you and get her attention. Does well with other dogs, sweet nature.

2 year old lab mix, great with other dogs and people.
Is as sweet as her name. Not spayed but utd on shots.

There are still more dogs there but this is what I have pictures of at this time. If you are interested in placing sponsorship money on any of the dogs to encourage a rescue or help a rescue with the expense for the dog(s) please let me know. Funds will go directly to the rescue. Contact me at 615/812-1450 and let me know which dog(s) you can help with. 

Alternate option is sending the dogs to FL rescue willing to take some of these dog but we need money for transport cost and health certificates/Rabies for each of these dogs. Contact me if you can help PLEASE! 

CROSSPOST! CROSSPOST! CROSSPOST! These dogs are going to die soon.

Cleveland, GA: 10 month old perfect boy dog named Lucky

This friendly and affectionate boy has been at the shelter, patiently waiting for a family to love and someone to play with.  Read about him from a wonderful volunteer who finds it harder and harder to send him back to his pen each time she visits him.

 

"Lucky is about 10 months old and very healthy and active.  Incredibly affectionate and very tuned into you the minute you start speaking to him.  Has all his shots and vaccines, too. 

He needs a family with kids (he's very playful) or with very active adults who love to hike, run or whatever. He's not trained so would be great for someone who wants to become his master and have them become the center of his world.  I'm not sure about his breed, but is a very smart one, for sure.  

He'd go crazy being fenced in day and night or tethered and needs to be part of a family setting.  He's so lovable, it's difficult to send him back into the shelter, but everyone there just adores him. Anyone who would adopt him would be very LUCKY!!

Thanks for sending this to your groups and if anyone wants to know more, they can  call Jane at 706-878-3663 or Kathy at Smithgall Woods Animal Shelter at 706-865-4135.

ktillwitz@dbrs.com

LILLY:

Lilly is a stunningly beautiful petite tortoiseshell cat that is about 2 years old and weighs 7 pounds. She is without a doubt the most affectionate cat we have ever rescued. She loves people and purrs non-stop when she is held. She is great with other cats and, when she is not busy charming everyone in the room with her playful antics, kneads herself to sleep.

Lilly was an owned cat until Hurricane Irene when she got lost and found herself begging for food at a senior center in Nassau County. The wonderful seniors were very fond of Lilly and made sure that she got fed every day, but asked us to take her because each time they opened their front door Lilly would try to run into the apartment and, while they would all love to keep her, pets are not allowed at the center.

This cat was obviously treated well her whole life and just needs a loving family that will give her a FOREVER home. Please give her a chance you definitely won’t regret it!

MEDICAL:

Lilly was just given a clean bill of health by a veterinarian. She is spayed, has had all of her shots, been dewormed, tested negative for FELV and positive for FIV.

Landlord wants him OUT OUT OUT

August 19*   Northeast Philadelphia
Contact: Tiffany Clark at shemeher32@yahoo.com or 267-206-2426
***Pretty Boy is a wonderfully friendly male cat that a horrible person threw out onto the streets. A neighbor, unable to take him in, nevertheless began to feed him. Tiffany came upon Pretty Boy and was impressed with hisexcellent behavior and mild manner. She couldn't bear to see him homeless and, while her own cat won't accept a roommate, found him a home with her sister and her 2 young children back in December. All was good until the landlord learned about Pretty Boy and wants him OUT OUT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty Boy desperately needs a foster or forever home or he will be back on the streets. Help!

He does need to be neutered, but is up to date on all shots, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, flea-free and has excellent litter box habits. The vet estimates that he's about 6 years old. He has a sweet, laid back personality and loves everyone. Tiffany is in tears because Pretty Boy is just too good to be without a home. His loving nature and debonair good looks would make him a wonderful addition to your home! She is even willing to make a donation to any rescue that would accept him. Preferably a HOME though!! Transport can be arranged!

*The following is a desperate plea from Rebecca's blog "Kitty Kat Voices"

MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2013

The rest are dead...

Sadly, these kitties will either be euthanized  or get sick soon.  This is the only photo of cats or kittens posted on Murray County GA sheriff's FACEBOOK page, out of 40 in 12 cages last week.  
The rest are dead...

I HAVE DONE ALL I CAN DO, AND MY HEART IS BREAKING FOR ALL OF THOSE INNOCENT LIVES.  THIS FORMERLY RESCUE FRIENDLY FACILITY HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE FOR ALL THE KITTIES THAT ENTER THERE.

I WISH TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED MY EFFORTS AT MURRAY COUNTY ON BEHALF OF THE KITTIES.  WE HAVE MANAGED TO SAVE MANY, WHO WOULD OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE MET THE FATE OF THESE.

THE STRINGENT RULES THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THOSE WHO WOULD RESCUE HAVE MADE IT TOO COSTLY, BOTH FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. I PERSONALLY AM IN DEBT AS FAR AS I CAN GO.   CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE.  THE POLITICIANS ARE WINNING.  

NO ONE KNOWS HOW DIFFICULT THE LAST MONTHS HAVE BEEN, AND STILL THE KILL RATE GOES UP.  I WISH I COULD UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE THINKS THIS IS...

Greenville, SC: Tiny miracle kittens, Samson and Delilah ready for a new life.

In her own words, read the story of a rescuer's final save and help her find a perfect home for these miracle kittens.  I dare you not to be touched to the core by Samson and Delilah
The call came in to Concerned Citizens For Animals of a mother who   had not been seen and babies with their eyes still closed. Nothing   more other than an approximate location was given.  The emailer gave   no information of themselves and when we tried to contact them we got
  a return mail response.

  I rushed over to the church with the empty parking lot looking for a   trash dumpster where the emailer said they would be found.  A teeny   orange kitty barely able to cry anymore  probably because he had been   crying for a day now was on the sidewalk.  He was covered in blood   and dried on sticky afterbirth.  Mama had just given  birth maybe a   day ago. Looking through the bushes I found another a tortie very   stiff unable to move covered in blood, I thought she was dead, but   their was still life in her.  Further inspection lead me to two more.

Wantagh, NY: The little dog who COULD...

...be a companion, pal, beloved family member.  All he wants is to be loved.
August 5:

"Dillon is still here. Sad mystery that is- he is so well behaved, so good looking and just an all around good boy.

Obviously came from a home, and he needs to be in one again SOON. He is in one of our offices as he just gets too depressed in the kennel and wants to lay nearby a person all day.

Please keep working this great dog like mad! Thanks, Wendy"

July 14: Just got word that DILLON has had NO offers. NONE!! and the shelter is FILLED to the BRIM… Please help this boy find a loving home.
Dillon #1297: 7yr old, Male/Neutered Pointer Mix **House-broken, Crate-trained, knows sit, paw, GREAT COMPANION DOG** Are you Lonesome tonight? well Dillon is! He is lonesome for a home to call his own! Picked up as a stray, only wearing a collar that said "Dillon", someone somewhere gave up on this precious boy! Friendly fella that would be an excellent companion dog for an older couple, maybe someone living on their own looking for a slow walking partner. Or a home with respectful older children (8yrs old). He's best as the only dog in the home, doesn't like to be around other animals.

He just needs someone to take an interest in him and let him know he's loved. Dillon is learning to take treats gently (sometimes he takes them a little hard); his personality and handsome good looks make him irresistible; but NO ONE HAS EVEN PUT AN APPLICATION IN FOR HIM! AND NO RESCUES ARE ABLE TO TAKE HIM! This handsome, good natured boy deserves to be living in a home, NOT A SHELTER.

Subject: PRISSY
From: "Bill Beavers" <bbeavers@bigdmetal.com>
Date: Thu, July 18, 2013 4:22 am

We just recently adopted a little Chihuahua mix from the City of Dallas Animal Services. As it turns out she is Chihuahua and Jack Russell mix. They said she was two years old but she acts much younger. She is spayed and micro-chipped but she is heart worm positive. The City of Dallas will supply her heart worm treatments.

We are an over 60 couple with 4 rescue dogs all of which are 8 years old or older. We wanted a sweet and quiet lap baby as our others are very independent and not overly affectionate. We saw this darling baby and just fell in love. In the cage at the pound she was shy, and scared and would just cuddle down into your arms. We were finally able to bring her home last Friday after she had her spaying. That is when the trouble began.

She definitely has a Jack Russell personality and is very hyper. Hyper to the point we just cannot control her and our other dogs cannot tolerate her constant jumping on them. She is a living doll when she is asleep but a holly terror when awake. She definitely needs someone who knows how to train her and finish socializing her. She is absolutely not afraid of other dogs and continuously runs over them and lays on top of them etc.

Additionally, I have no idea how we are going to keep her quiet and calm during her heartworm treatments, work, and having 4 others running around.

Now, all of the dogs are growling and snapping at her and the others. We're desperate to get her into a situation where she will be safe and cared for.

I just do not see how we can keep her. I want to get her into the rescue so she’ll be cared for and made ready for another home. Can you please help us? I do not want to return her to the city pound but she is not fitting into our lives and surroundings at all.

We can certainly deliver her anywhere she need to be. Thanks….

*Lafayette, TN: Abandoned by his family, mistreated in "rescue." Help Miles!!

July 11, 2013:  Miles has been rescued!!!

This precious boy was an affectionate family inside pet, who for unknown reasons was brought to the shelter. He was "rescued" shortly thereafter.  When he left the shelter, he was in good health and well taken care of.  One month later, he has lost weight and has puncture wounds and mange.  His heart must be broken. Help us show Miles that there are good people out there, that he will have that safe, secure and loving home once again.  Contact Parker if you can help...please do not call the shelter.

Miles was brought into AC in Lafayette, Tennessee back in June 2013. Miles was rescued in June of 2013, and was then removed from this rescue on Saturday July 6, 2013.

Miles now has several scars about his body and face, along with punctures, and he is ten pounds lighter. Miles has been seen by a vet for Demodex and his wounds, and is

South Carolina: Sweetie Petie's family needs your help to find her a new home.

Owner sadly needs to find Sweetie Petie a new family. Please read her story below and help us find her that perfect home.

*From Alicia:  We had 4 dogs (3 were rescues including Petie). Our Alpha Dog, Goliath, passed away because of cancer about a year ago. Before he passed, the pecking order of our "pack" was pretty well in check. Our two females (Petie the jack russell and Darla the bull mastiff) kept their distance from each other but tolerated each other (but were not friends). Since Goliath has passed away, it seems that Darla (bull mastiff) has established herself as the pack leader and our 3rd dog has accepted her without a problem.

Petie, however, refuses to accept that she is not the leader and lashes out at Darla every chance she gets (the last fight they had, Petie lost her two front teeth and had to be stitched up and I don't want them to go through that again). It was not like this before our alpha passed away.

Right now, I cannot have the two females out at the same time so each has to be locked in her respective crate in 1-hour shifts on and off all day long. It just does not seem fair to have to do that to either dog.

Now, recently we boarded the two other dogs and had Petie home alone before we left for a short vacation. While she was the only dog in the home, she was back to the sweet, playful, loving, follow-us-around, "Sweetie Petie" she had been before. Plus, our neighbor came in to care for Petie while we were gone and she was friendly, playful, and obedient for her as well. Our neighbor called her "a perfect dog."

We feel as if the dynamic of the dogs we have is not good for Petie and that she would be happier in another home (although we love her and don't want her to go, I do not know of another way to help her be the happy furry friend she once was). We feel Petie needs a home without any other dogs or cats (being a hunting breed, she does not like cats). She is good with children, but she gets very excited around kids because she wants to play with them and sometimes this is scary for very little kids or kids that are nervous around dogs, so I would say she would do best in a home with "older children". She is spayed, house-broken (but gets nervous during thunderstorms and may have an accident once in a while), up on all of her shots, and crate-trained.

We are located in SC but are willing to travel some if needed to find Petie the home that is right for her. Please let me know if you can help or if you know anyone that can. (There is no way I am taking her to a shelter and dropping her off.)

Coats, NC, Harnett county: Owner lost home, 9 Cats left outside to survive in crates!

This photo says it all - 9 cats left outside in crates. They can't survive in these conditions. Please help in whatever way you can.... crosspost, share, foster, adopt...

*From Joan: I was contacted on FB about these cats in Coats, NC which is in Harnett county. A lady stumbled upon them and found out  that the person that owns them recently lost her home. The cats have been put outside in crates and as you can see the conditions are terrible.  With all this rain, I have no idea how they are doing now. The contact person that found them is Mindy listed in the post. There is no more information than what you see.  Does anyone have a contact in Harnett county that can call her? These cats are doomed if they go to Harnett county shelter. I am at a loss on what to do since I don't have any contacts in Harnett county.
