Willy, Happy Black Lab Desperately Needs a New Home, Nebraska
Sunday, February 17, 2008
Isaac is Looking for a Family, Kentucky
Isaac is listed as a young male border collie mix who was picked up as a stray. Although Isaac is listed as a border collie mix, I'd venture to say that he looks much more like a lab/spaniel mix.
Isaac absolutely adores children and gets along well with other dogs. He's just a real sweetie. Unfortunately, however, Isaac's time is extremely limited. He is located at the Bullitt County Animal Shelter in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. Because the shelter is an animal control facility, Isaac's stay is limited due to space constraints. Isaac is scheduled for euthanization on February, 22, 2008.
Isaac would make a perfect dog for a family!
Isaac will be neutered, heartworm tested, and vaccinated prior to going to his new home. His adoption fee is $100.00.
If you are interested in adopting or rescuing Isaac, please call Nancy Barnes 502-543-8686 or email NancyBarnes@windstream.net immediately!

Pepper the Pup Needs a Great Buddy, Fulton, MO
Check out those adorable ears! Pepper's eyes say it all -- Won't you please take me home??
Pepper is just a puppy at 5 or 6 months old, so he'd make a great buddy for an energetic family. He is most likely a shepherd/heeler cross who was picked up as a stray with his sibling. Pepper is a very outgoing, social puppy who absolutely adores attention! He gets along well with other dogs, particularly more submissive dogs, and he seems fine with cats.
Unfortunately, Pepper's time is very limited. He is scheduled for euthanization on February 12, 2008. He is currently housed at the Garret Animal Shelter in Fulton, Missouri.
If you can adopt or rescue Pepper, please call Laura Schroer at 573-642-7443 or email smokey4445@sbcglobal.net immediately!

Sparkle's Gots Lots of Flair -- Now She Needs a Home
Sweetie-pie Sparkle TCAC087465A is a 5 month old female Shepherd/Pit Bull mix. Someone thought it would be wise to crop her ears at home, leaving her with almost no ears whatsoever. Sparkle doesn't let her odd looks get her down. She has a personality that lives up to her name! She is very friendly and thrives on attention. Despite her great personality, Sparkle's time is very limited. She is scheduled for euthanization on January 31, 2008.
Sparkle is currently located at the Tulare County Animal Shelter in Visalia, California.
The odds are staked against Sparkle...she's a big black dog, she has disfigured ears, and she's a pit bull or pit mix. Can you defy the odds and help Sparkle find a new home? If you can adopt or rescue Sparkle, please contact the shelter at 559-636-3647 immediately!

Dogs in Danger
DogsInDanger.com has, somewhat surprisingly, been a rather controversial website. Dogs In Danger is a non-profit site dedicated to listing dogs who are on their last few days in the hope that adopters or rescues will step up and save their lives before their time is up. What raises the hackles of some people about this site is that fact that it lists the euthanization date for the dogs.
This beautiful Plott Hound / Lab Mix, for example, is scheduled to be euthanized on Wednesday, January 16.
This handsome fellow is located at the St. Martin Parish Animal Control Shelter in St. Martinville, Louisiana. If you can help him, please contact Sara Glasgow at 337-394-1220 IMMEDIATELY.
This guy is a large male brindle Plott Hound mix, who weights about 90 lbs. He's about 4 years old and energetic but also very sweet, and the pound staff absolutely loves him. He is also available to foster.
His adoption fee is $65 which includes a $50 neuter certificate and a $10 rabies certificate.

Yes, it is very disturbing thought that this beautiful dog and thousands more like him may very well be dead within three days, but I firmly believe that people need to know that these dogs WILL die unless they are rescued. And they also need to know that the killing will go on until people stop dumping their pets and stop allowing them to breed indiscriminately.
DogsInDanger.com might offend some viewers with delicate sensibilities, simply because they are forced to think about the fact that perfectly good cats and dogs die needlessly every day. But they also provide a great service in bringing public awareness to the unpleasant fact of pet overpopulation, they put furry faces with the numbers of pets killed daily, monthly, and yearly, they allow potential adopters to see which dogs need their help most urgently, and last but not least, they provide exposure to dogs that otherwise might never be seen by anyone except animal control staff between the time they are picked up or surrendered, and they time they are euthanized.
***UPDATE: 1/17/08. I HAVE RECEIVED WORD THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL BRINDLE BOY HAS BEEN RESCUED.***
I have been terribly concerned about this boy, and was fearing that I would have to post my first "bad news" update since I started this blog. You see, big, brindle, hound-mix dogs like this are a dime a dozen in the South, and they hardly ever make it out of shelters alive. Most people go for the small dogs, the fluffy dogs, the puppies, and the purebreds.
Several wonderful people from various rescue groups banded together to get this guy out of the shelter just in the nick of time. Unfortunately, his vet check revealed that he is heartworm positive, which is very common for shelter dogs in the south. He will have to stay at the vet's for a while while his treatment begins, then he will have to be boarded.
While it is incredibly easy to prevent heartwork by simply giving a dog a preventative, heartworm treatment is very expensive, intensive, and often risky. Dogs undergoing heartworm treatment must be kept from any kind of physical exertion for up to a month to protect against the risk of a dead worm blocking an artery, which can cause death.
After this guy goes through his heartworm treatment, he will be transported to the Northeast U.S., where he will find a new home.
In the interim, his heartworm treatment and boarding costs are going to be very expensive. Come back soon to find out how you can donate to help offset the costs of his medical treatment and boarding.
