Hi all,
Happy new year to you, your family and all your furry friends!
PLEASE CROSS POST - contact breed specific rescue group if you know any.
LABRADORS, ROTTWEILER, HEELERS, RAT TERRIERS, CHIHUAHUA, POODLE, COOHOUND, MIXES OF ALL KINDS
IMPORTANT: DO NOT confuse the Kaplan/Vermilion Parish pound and Animal Aid for Vermilion Area!
Animal Aid for Vermilion Area is an animal welfare organization who is trying very hard to help save dogs and cats from the pound. Animal Aid is trying to keep the pets healthy by deworming and vaccinating them when possible and as funding allows, but the pets who are at the pound are NOT in Animal Aid's care. Animal Aid is only one person on site, two at the most, trying to do everything (keep an eye on the pets at the facility, deworm, vaccinate, answer questions and e-mails, make sure pictures are taken for listing, transport when necessary...), please understand what a titanic task this is! (You can help is by making a donation: vaccines and dewormers are NOT free. Your donations are tax deductible, and you can still donate for this year! Scroll to the bottom of fhe page http://members.petfinder.com/~LA26/index.htm).
Below is a list of pets currently at/from the pound in Kaplan/Vermilion, LA. They are listed as a courtesy under Animal Aid of Vermilion Area but they are really at the pound in Kaplan, which does not have an adoption program.
For more information on how to save one - or many more - of these pets, please e-mail AnimalAidVermilion@gmail.com ASAP.
Euthanasia is scheduled for next Wednesday 01/06/2010. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!!
In other pounds, the number of pets on death row decreases thanks in part to the public adopting pets, NOT in Kaplan. THE KAPLAN POUND DOES NOT HAVE AN ADOPTION PROGRAM TO THE PUBLIC, this is why it is a particular challenge to save pets from there. I.e. the only way pets can get out of that pound alive is through animal welfare organizations. If John Doe, wants a dog or cat from there, he needs to find a group willing to put the pet in its adoption program.
PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST you will take a pet if you don't have the firm intention to do so. This only endangers the life of the pet, hurts the relationship with the pound and confuses things to a great extend. When a rescue group says they will come on a certain day but does not show up, not only may the pets be killed but it may also be used to justify NOT letting animal welfare organizations pull pets anymore. This possibity has already been brought up. What would happen then? EVERY SINGLE PET WOULD BE KILLED. NO EXCEPTION. NO CHANCES AT SURVIVAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING! Please don't let the Vermilion pets down, help us save as many as possible.
For more information on how to save one - or many more - of these pets, please e-mail AnimalAidVermilion@gmail.com ASAP.
Remember: donating to help pay for the vaccines, the dewormers... is also of great help!
Euthanasia is scheduled for next Wednesday 01/06/2010. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!!
NEW LISTING - THESE DOGS ARE AT THE POUND
THESE DOG ARE NOT AT THE POUND ANYMORE, THEY HAVE BEEN PULLED AT THE LAST MINUTE
IN THE HOPE THAT A RESCUE GROUP WOULD TAKE THEM, AND THEY ARE NOW IN A TEMPORARY
SAFE PLACE (boarding, foster...) but THEY NEED PLACEMENT ASAP
SO THAT OTHER DOGS CAN BE SAVED BY TAKING THEIR PLACE

I.e. the only way pets can get out of that pound alive is through animal welfare organizations. If John Doe, wants a dog or cat from there, he needs to find a group willing to put the pet in its adoption program.
Another issue is that the pound is under a court order to avoid overcrowding: ONLY ONE DOG PER CAGE! and this is one of the reasons given for euthanizing pets, as there are between 10 and 20 pets brought in every day and only a limited number of cages. This is why, PLEASE, when you are offering to take a pet, you need to ACT FAST, get the pet physically out of the facility ASAP. Animal Aid for Vermilion Area is desperately trying to help but there is only so much ONE ot two persons can do in a day. So PLEASE... try to understand and organize the transport or the fostering as much as possible on your end.
