Pasadena, California: Senior cat in pound since owner died

2-4-08 UPDATE: GOOD NEWS! Jennifer of Pasadena reports This Cat was adopted by a home!

This CAT - ID#A224946 Neutered male, gray and white Domestic Shorthair mix. About 7 years old. At the shelter since Jan 04, 2008. This information is 1 hour old.

Shelter Staff made the following comments about this animal:

With his lovely, big hazel eyes and soft plush coat, this seven-year-old domestic short hair cat certainly is handsome! Sadly, his owner passed away, leaving him, and his three companion cats (and 2 turtles!) behind. We don't know much about his past, but here at the shelter he is a little shy but if you rub the top of is head he'll close his eyes and relax, enjoying the attention.

For more information about this animal, call: Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA at 626-792-7151 Ask for information about animal ID number A224946

National Pigeon Day

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: New York Bird Club <nybirdclub@yahoo.com>
Date: Jan 27, 2008 8:48 AM
Subject: National Pigeon Day

Dear Elected Government Representatives,

As you are aware pigeons are very much in the news, not only in New York City, but worldwide. What better time than to declare June 13th National Pigeon Day commemorating the death of Cher Ami (meaning Dear Friend in French).

His story can be found on the following link:

http://www.homeofheroes.com/wings/part1/3b_cherami.html

Pigeons heroically fought for our country during wars and were used by people as messengers, saving many human lives.

Cher Ami died of his multiple war wounds on June 13, 1919--less than a year after he had completed his service to the United States Army Signal Corps. Upon his death a taxidermist preserved the small pigeon for future generations, a bird with a story that became an inspiration to millions over the years.

On this special day, students in schools across the United States will commemorate this day by learning of the significant role pigeons played in the history of the World. This can appropriately tie in with New York State's Humane Education Law, enacted in 1947 that is not being complied with in our school system, which requires instruction in the humane care and treatment of animals. The law is not been enforced, and few educators know of its existence.

In September 2006, New York City Council Member Tony Avella introduced a resolution urging the New York City Department of Education to help schools comply with New York State's Humane Education Law by issuing a memo to all public schools in the city.

We respectfully request that June 13th be declared National Pigeon Day in honor of pigeons who are war heroes.

Griffin, Georgia: Spalding cats at pound

Please crosspost very urgent situation for approximately 8 pound cats

There are cats at Spalding --- they are at risk of being gassed.

http://www.spaldingcountyanimalshelter.com/last.htm

The pets come in so quickly and have such a short timeframe. They may need to be out on Monday 1/28 at 4:30 like the dogs, due to the shelter getting painted etc.

Barbara Lowe at Winged Cat Rescue just found out there are 8 new cats in "the bay" - ones that were trapped and might just be scared or might be ferals. Please contact Barbara at blowe@optonline.net to donate, foster, rescue or adopt. It takes a bunch of dollars to rescue a cat just as it does a dog. Please see the pound kitties' PetNotes herebelow. Thank you!

Referring to http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA483.html the cats on the second page need immediate rescue:

...Kirby, our red heeler mix is about to hit the three month-mark this coming Monday. He has little time left. The shelter's building C dogs are "special," they earn their way into the building by having wonderful temperaments and being highly adoptable. But, sometimes, in spite of that, a dog is constantly overlooked in favor of another. This is Kirby's last chance...

Kirby was found as a stray on October 28, he is approximately one to two years-old. Kirby is all about turning strangers into life-long friends, he actually "smiles" when you stop by his kennel and he knows how to "dance!" This boy can do the twist and "shake his bootie" better than any other dog at the shelter. Kirby is extremely unique in appearance with one blue eye, one brown eye, and white fur speckled with flecks of red just like a red heeler! Kirby is really a baby in a big boy body; this guy has survived kennel cough at the shelter and now he is running out of time. Kirby is just a pleasure to spend time with, he thrives on human companionship. It would be a shame if all our efforts to save Kirby's life fail. He deserves a chance to be someone's "best friend." Kirby will put a twinkle in your eye and light up your life! Please consider opening your heart and your home to this sweet boy who has spent the past three months confined to a kennel.

South Bend IN: Animal Control GSD/Rottie Achilles, staff favorite in danger

Achilles

Hello,

This is Kayla Haddock. I am the adoption coordinator for South Bend Animal Care and Control. I know you have pulled dogs from us in the past, and I am hoping you may have space for an exceptional boy. His name is Achilles. He is an adult, 1 to 2 year old German Shepherd/ Rottie mix, with the personality of a teddy bear . He loves everyone, and his best friend here at the shelter is a 3 month old lab/pit mix puppy. He loves all other dogs, and will play and love on whoever will accept his affection. He is already neutered, and sadly has been stuck at the shelter way past his time. Attached are some photos of him, some with his little "sidekick" along with him. This pup leaves Sunday for another rescue. ...

Achilles has grown very dear to many of us, and time is of the essence in getting him out of here. I pray you can make a space for him. He is an amazing dog who deserves the chance at a happy life in his new forever home. Please let me know ASAP if you can do anything to help. You can email me at this addy, or at khaddock@southbendin.gov , or you may call me at work Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm, or at home 574-993-1625.

Thank you so much for your time in reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully,

Kayla Haddock

Willis,Texas: Jake is rescued!!! American Pit Bull Terrier

Crossposting MESSAGE Jake is SAVED! To Jake's Angels.............

Subject: Jake is SAVED! To Jake's Angels.............
To: mailto:ZeeAngel@aol.com

On Saturday, Jake left Town Lake Animal Control to head for Spindletop Refuge!!! He is now safe and sound. :)

Jake's eyes and snout had been taped shut. Then he was shot in the neck and left for dead. But the indomitable spirit of dogs kept him going. An Austin animal control officer found him stumbling around. According to animal control, when the officer removed the tape from Jake's eyes, Jake "rubbed his big, fat head on the officers trousers" as if to say "thank you." His tail was wagging despite the attempt on his life. There is no way to know how long he had been there or what other kind of abuse he has known. What is known, is that Jake will never be cruelly treated again!

Many thanks to Laura and everyone at TLAC who cared for Jake and wanted to give him a chance for a great life. Also, many thanks to Stacey, Victoria & Michael with Austin GSD rescue who took an interest in Jake and spearheaded saving him. AND very importantly, THANK you to everyone who has donated or pledged donations to help save Jake, and to everyone who forwarded emails, crossposted and got the word out about the unspeakable cruelty visited on this pup and his chance for a good life. Because of the combined efforts of everyone, Jake will never know abuse again and he will get a good home where he can be an inside dog who is loved and treated with dignity and respect that he deserves! Thank you Spindletop Refuge for giving this boy a new beginning!

Jake arrives at Spindletop Refuge (1/19/08). Victoria and Michael of Austin GSD Rescue were the kind transporters of Jake. The new location for Spindletop Refuge is located on seventy acres in Montgomery County, Texas.

As you can see, Jake's face is still raw in places from the tape, but he is healing nicely. The gunshot went through his neck (there are entry and exit wounds), but fortunately he is also healing from that. Jake will be checked out by Dr. Lucy Faulkner, Spindletop's veterinarian, to make sure he is okay and healing properly, although it appears he is on his way to recovering. TLAC was kind enough to give him all his vaccinations.

He will need a lot of tlc to build his confidence up with people. He likes girls but can be leary around some men. His initial rescuer was a man, so he certainly recognized his kindness. Jake will also be basic obedience trained and carefully assessed which will take some time. It is impossible to know what all this pup has been through, but what we do know is heinous enough. Don't you just love those silly ears!??

Isn't he a cutie? And as you can see, he certainly was a good boy with Victoria & Michael!

Again, THANK you to all of Jake's Angels for saving this sweet boy!!!

P.S. The authorities in Austin are trying to find out who did this to Jake.

PLEASE FORWARD AS WOOF MAY ONLY HAVE 1 WEEK, 1 MONTH OR A POSSIBLY A FEW MONTHS TO LIVE. HIS PROGNOSIS IS NOT GOOD!! SEE HIS STORY BELOW.....


If you cannot help by giving Woof a place to stay, please try and
donate to his vet bill of $460. It may not seem like much but I am not able
to pay this in full and need help if anyone can donate a little. Vet info
can be provided.

Woof is in boarding and DESPERATELY needs a home to live out what
time he has left!! Woof has megaesophagus, a condition where there is
decreased or absent movement of the esophagus. With megaesophagus, passing food
all the way to the stomach becomes very difficult. The vet says surgery is not
a good option as it is very unsuccessful.

Woof is a 7-8 year old, male Cattle dog who is blind!! Woof's Dad
went to prison 2 months ago and he lost the only home he's ever known. He's
very confused and very depressed in a boarding kennel wondering when
he'll get a permanent home and unconditional love again. He doesn't know what's
going on or where he is. This is very hard on Woof and he is desperate for a
foster home to live out the remainder of his life. He may not have very long at
all! He does however get around really well for a blind boy. He is very
sweet and does fine with other dogs as long as they don't pick on him, which
is what some dogs have done in the past because of his disability. Please
contact us if you can help Woof!

Donations Desperately Needed for Surgery for "Sally" the Siamese

To:

URGENT PLEASE CROSSPOST

Please open your hearts to "Sally" a sweet, loving, beautiful, declawed Seal Point Siamese abandoned by her family, at Christmas, at a high kill shelter in Louisiana, rescued by volunteers, and admitted on an emergency basis to the LSU Veterinary School Hospital where doctors advised us she needs surgery to save her life.

We are desperately seeking donations to pay the $1,500 in hospital and surgery costs necessary to remove the infection and stones in her bladder, resulting from a long standing infection not treated by her former owners, and save this little girl, who is being treated with pain medication, cannot eat from discomfort, but is still giving licks and purrs to the hospital staff.

"Sally" has a foster home for postoperative care with an employee of the vet school, and the opportunity for adoption if we can just provide the needed surgery.

I know we are all strapped, especially those we are reaching out to in the rescue community. A donation of any amount, even $5, will take us a step closer to giving "Sally" the health, happiness and new loving home she deserves.

Please take just a minute to tap this link, to the Hal's Haven website home page, and press the donation button for Louisiana cats, set up for donations for "Sally". Hal's Haven is a nonproift 501(c)(3) registered tax exempt rescue, so all donations are tax deductible.

We will keep you posted on Sally's progress, and send you pictures. One of the best vet teaching hospitals in the country has turned its appointment and surgery schedule inside out to help "Sally", please help them, and us, to help her.

Thank you for your kindness.

Terri Kelley is the contact. SHE WROTE 1/12 SAYING:

My name is Terri Kelley, and I am being appointed as the secretary/coordinator of the Anderson Animal Shelter. As you have heard through local media, Internet forums and emails, our shelter is in need of assistance. We are in a situation of overcrowding. We are not in a situation of mass euthanasia in order to control population OR mass euthanasia in order to control any sort of viral outbreak at this moment. However we are in a situation where we DO need rescues to pull as many animals as possible. The new directors have only been in their positions for days now. For several years the shelter has only been in the business of "animal control". No animal care. So as you can imagine there is no established foster program, no established marketing networking, nothing that has ever led to a successful adoption percentage. The new directors are more than willing to implement these things, but every change will have to go before the local governing boards, which in a perfect picture, will still require a few weeks. In the meantime, we are left to battle a huge intake number, and very few going out. The past administration had never kept accurate records as to how many animals pass through the doors, so those protocols are currently being developed, but I have no factual numbers. I can say with certainty that for the next weeks we are going to need as many Rescues as possible to pull as many animals as possible. Our shelter is going to undergo a wonderful transformation with the new directors, and they do want to work with rescue and welfare groups.
