Date: August 31, 2009Hi SNIPPP associates and Rescue Friends,
SNIPPP (located in northeastern Shasta County, northern California) received a call from a woman whose husband passed away earlier this month. He left behind 20 dogs ranging in size from 35 to 50 pounds, ages 1 to 9 years old. They are German Shepherd Dogs and Australian Cattle Dogs and combos of the two. Her income is extremely limited and she can no longer afford to feed all these dogs on her own and she knows they'd be so much better off in new homes. She asked us to find homes for 18 of the dogs, if possible. Although currently none of them are spayed, neutered, vaccinated, or tested for heartworm, SNIPPP will get that done over the next 2 weeks. They are all exclusively outside dogs, and are chained up all the time. Living at the end of a dirt road on a desolate piece of property, the dogs have rarely seen any humans besides members of her family. Despite the horrible circumstances, many of the dogs seem sweet and mild-mannered, though very under-socialized.So, we are desperately looking for foster and adoptive homes for these poor dogs!Please share far and wide, cross post freely!Here are photos of the dogs. If you have questions about details of a particular dog, we do have more photos and some (but limited) information......Kris' email including photos and descriptions are in this link; please click to view: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dct4vhgk_333c4vjzxcs.....Thank you for any help you can offer to get these dogs to nicer, safe, loving places!!Kris Bertelson-WilliamsPresident, SNIPPP(Spay & Neuter Intermountain Pets & Pet Placement)530 336-6006 (SNIPPP message line)If you shop online or search the internet, you can support SNIPPP at no extra cost to you!
