Please see
http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LkJhcnJvd3BldHMubmV0 for the latest updates! WHAT ANIMALS ARE AVAILABLE NOW? The following animals are NEW since the last post but may still be “extra urgent” due to their being at the animal control at or beyond their typically allotted five(5)days and/or are owner-surrendered. Such animals are therefore subject to lethal injection at any time.
The animals were part of the very first Christmas – may we continue to
Honor their lives in our work to save them

PLEASE REPOST! It's one of the cheapest, easiest, and most effective things you can do to help. People can't act if they don't know.
Holly---- is a 2ish year old black lab mix that was supposed to be euthanized twice but the ACO kept making up reasons why he didn't do it. He says she is a great dog and listens well. I have had her in the car and she rides like a champ even after being in a run for almost a month.
Bunny---Terrier mix that was also to have been euthanized twice already. She is such a cute dog and those ears kill me. She is about 2-3 years also, I believe. Weighs about 25 pounds. 
Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix (I think)---Seems very well behaved and will be out of time the middle of next week. I don't know much about him yet and I'm not even certain it's a boy. 
I can
