Hi all,
Please don't forget the pets from the St. Martin Parish Animal Control,
in St. Martinville, Louisiana. These beautiful pets' lives are in danger.
If you can't see the list and pictures pasted in this message, please go to
http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=1&pet.Shelterid=LA168&preview=1

This is a high kill facility and these pets could be euthanized on Feb. 19.

Many pets get pulled thanks to all the people crossposting and to animal welfare groups getting them out of the pound. Thanks to all of you!

If your group pulls a dog (sorry it does not work for cats)
from the pound, please let me know and give me your
website address or some info on how to donate to you.

The reason is because in DogsInDanger.com
where the dogs are also listed,
I can enter additional info
o
nce a pet's status is changed to adopted/rescued. If I
mention your group, you may occasionally get a donation
towards that pet's care from relieved dog lovers.


Note that by the time you receive this e-mail, there are probably more
pets - cats and dogs - not in this list. It does not hurt to ask the staff what
other pets they have...
The facility is a new building located at 1004 Industrial Park Road inSt. Martinville, past Wal Mart, behind the old Fruit of the Loom plant.
Opening hours are Monday through Friday 8 am - 5 pm. Special arrangements can be made on request.The pulling fee for animal groups is $5 with proof of non-profit status (you can fax it at 337-394-1220.) If you don't have the proper paperwork ornon-profit status, you will be charged the normal adoption fee of $65, butthis entitles you to a $50 spay/neuter certificate and a $10 rabies certificate.Please note: The St. Martin Parish Animal Control (i.e. the pound) and the St. Martin Humane Society are TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES.Volunteers from the St. Martin Humane Society list the pets for the pound onPetfinder but we have no other information.Please do not waste any time hitting the "Reply" button to contact me,I have no additional information and can't do anything anyway,contact the pound directly at 337-394-1220. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! These pets' lives are on the line...Also, please skip the hate mail, I don't need that, I do what I can and we welcome everybody's help! Please understand the staff is not in a position to organize transportation. -- Marie Bossard, St. Martin Humane Society, Louisiana. http://www.stmartinhumane.org/YOU WANT TO HELP? YOU REALLY DO?
