Let's get these babies out!!! They are all dolls but look at that last beauty and the little black and white boy, but Lord they are all adorable. Send send send, their time is UP!!!!!!

Bracket---- black and white boy. Awesome awesome boy in the right home. He does great with dogs his size or bigger. He is not good with cats, small children or small dogs. He would be a great truck dog as he loves to ride in the car. He is fully crate trained and does pretty good in the house when he is on a schedule. He knows sit, stay (when he wants to), plays fetch until he is about to fall over and loves to play.
He is about 2 years old and weighs about 25 pounds. He's the black and white boy. UTD on shots.

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.

Tannish/red boy---Not sure what he is but he will be the first one to be put down next week.. He is such a sweetheart and looks at me with sad eyes every time I go to the pound and don't take him.

He seems very well behaved and weighs about 25 pounds even though he looks much bigger.

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

find out more details if someone is interested. You can't tell it but he's a pretty big boy. Maybe 50 pounds.l

If you can't get the pictures let me know. I am having all kinds of fits with my computer lately. I had to get a new version of AOL and now I can't get the pictures to load directly in the email like I used to.

Thanks so much.

Please read this before you click delete!!! I posted this before...this is the dog where the 10 yr old boy sobbed and walked dog to shelter because father was going to KILL her because she kept getting loose. She was chained her whole life, found a foster but there is a pit bull ban in that area and Molly is back at shelter. Transport is available. Lets get Molly a home for Christmas!

Molly is extremely depressed in the shelter. There have been no offers of rescue on her, and we have been pleading for help to come since June. She does not look very pittie to me but, I can't argue with the dog warden about it.

Please, help Molly get back into a home, or even a FOSTER home before her sadness takes over her mind. I see all kinds of other dogs get their happy ending so let's PLEASE try for Molly's sake.

This wonderful girl is Molly. She needs to find her forever home. She came to the Owen County shelter on June 29th. Molly’s young owner walked her to the shelter and begged us to take Molly before his step-dad shot Molly for breaking her chain. She had lived her short life (10-11 months) confined to the back yard in a subdivision, and tied by a chain. She apparently did not like being chained up, and repeatedly broke free.. Luckily, Molly loves everyone, so she never caused any problems as she roamed the neighborhood visiting.

Molly was fortunate enough to be taken into foster care for 2 months. Unfortunately, the foster was unaware of the Pit Bull mix ban in her city, and had to return Molly to the shelter this past Saturday. I can only imagine what Molly may have thought -abandoned once again.

Molly is great with other dogs and kids. I would have no qualms at all about allowing her to be around my 4 year old son; except to protect her from his roughness! She is housetrained, and now has manners thanks to her foster’s hard work.

Molly is spayed and UTD on shots. She will make someone a devoted companion.

If you can give this deserving, loving girl a forever home, please call Hilari at: 502-514-1539.

The goal is to get Molly into a loving, forever home BEFORE Christmas.

Scrappy is an 8 yr old 50 lb lab mix who needs a foster/forever home ASAP. A bullet lodged in his spine has left Scrappy partially paralyzed. Due to his wheels, Scrappy will do best in a one-level home. This is a special boy who has endured unimaginable pain and neglect at the hands of uncaring people. Sometimes they are too lazy to attach Scrappy to his cart, so he is forced to drag himself around. UGH. Be the hero you are meant to be...and give Scrappy a reason to be joyous this season. We cannot let Scrappy be another victim of the senseless inhumanity of humans. Let's get this boy home for the holidays. Maybe we can even get him a sleighride...HO HO HO.

Approved application required. Thanks for caring about a special boy. WOOF.

Okay- imagine this..........

You are blind, old, and living in compromised circumstances.

Life isn't good- but you are familiar with your surroundings. Suddenly you are removed from the only place you know and are put in a small space in a large, noisy, busy place filled with strange smells and sounds. Nothing is like it was.
You are scared. You are sad. You are alone.

This is what Daffodil, a lovely senior lab is currently enduring. We need a special foster for this girl- and hope that someone reading this will give Daffodil a Christmas to remember forever. Please contact us at atpar3@yahoo.com if you can help Daffodil! Thanks so much! Jingle, jingle. HO HO HO. Woof.

Sweet Pitty Blue Found on the Streets of Nashville, TN With a Bullet Lodged in His Head is in Need of a Loving Home

Many of you may remember Blue, the pitty found on the streets of Nashville that had a bullet lodged in his head (and another that had gone through his leg). Sweet Blue is thriving, as you can see from the attached flyer with photos, but he still is looking for a home. He has been with a trainer for several months now and money is running out. Ideally, a home for Blue is what is needed, but if you cannot help with a home, please consider donating toward his boarding charges.

Many requests are being made for donations so Blue appreciates whatever amount you can send - no amount is to small! Thank you for helping Blue! Please contact Karina at Silver Rescue silverrescue@gmail.com

Thank you!

Here are two pictures of Prince Caspian, the Siamese cat in need. He comes complete with a covered litter box, food, litter and toys.
He is very social, seems to love kids and adults, likes to play, is litter trained and seems content with food and water. He sleeps alot. I think most cats do. I would guess him to be 6 mo. to one year. He lives outside in Douglasville, GA.

LUMPKIN COUNTY , GA - 12 YEAR OLD GSD ON DEATH ROW!!!!
Another divorce....Another "drop off" at a HIGH KILL SHELTER!!!!

So.... let's see now, they had the time to argue about who gets the 12 year old crappy TV, or the Walmart "China" with mismatched colors, and probably are still arguing about basic "crap" they accumulated in their sad life together. Yet they DID come up with one thing they can agree upon....they made a decision on things that matter little to them.

The 12 year old German Shepherd, and their 10 year old mixed breed dog they had for so many years. Well, they had their daughter drop them off at the local county KILL shelter! They could not even bother to do it themselves!

Even though they were told that once you give a dog or cat over to the shelter it can be put down ASAP, they cared not. They cared more about the TV that's now probably worth about 50 cents on the open market!

While I'm sorry about their divorce, I can not even THINK of how someone can have a dog for nearly TWELVE YEARS, and have it dropped off to be MURDERED at a KILL SHELTER!!!!

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dec. 1, 2009 – With Adopt A Senior Pet Month coming to end but more senior pets than ever in need of loving homes, Orange County Animal Services today extended its “Seniors for Seniors” promotion through Dec. 31. The promotion provides free adoptions for citizens ages 55 and up who adopt shelter pets ages 8 and up.

The promotion took an especially poignant turn recently when 12 animals—five of which are senior cats—arrived at Animal Services following a neglect investigation.“With so many senior pets coming to our shelter in the past few weeks, including those in the neglect case, we felt compelled to give them the happy ending they deserve,” said Katie Lockett, Division Manager. “We hope by extending the free adoptions we will be able to successfully place them all in loving homes.”

RESCUED Animal ID: A157590 Room No.: WCN39
Hi, my name is Fester. I am an approximately 9 year old orange and white neutered male Domestic SH. I am friendly and I have been at Orange County Animal Services since Wednesday, November 04, 2009. http://www.orangecountyfl.net/dept/CEsrvcs/animal/NetPets/AnimalDetail.asp?ID=A157590&RT=T

The shelter currently has more than 15 senior pets. The animals recently surrendered during the neglect investigation have an especially interesting history.

These cats belonged to a law enforcement officer who was shot in the line of duty in Orange County many years ago and passed away earlier this year,” said Lockett. “They have certainly experienced more than their share of trauma in the past few months, and we’d love to see it all end on a happy note for them and for all of the senior pets at our shelter.”
