Found a pit bull..or some other dog or animal?

 Reunion Rescue has been saving lives from horrible situations and death row shelters for coming up on 25 years! So we've learned a thing or two. Do you see these animals dying in shelters every day? So do I and I'm sick and tired of it, too. It seems like the harder we work, the worse the situation becomes. 

Just yesterday, a wonderful woman all the way out in California, her own zip code in the midst of over-filled stressed shelter is reaching out, begging for help for a sweet little young chow mix in San Antonio.

We want to help. Reunion's full of all our oldies right now along with a cat sanctuary and birds....not to mention all the wildlife. And we just took on the hardest pit bull rescue in all my time saving dogs. We literally cannot leave town. When we committed to this dog, it was a prison sentence. We're under house arrest, but making strides each day. We chose this life.

Here is the link to Found Pit Bulls on Reunion Rescue website. There is so much information on the site that I often have to pay for out of my social security check. It's important to me to convey this life saving information to pet owners, other rescues, shelters and all animal lovers to use our life-saving resources and help keep animals out of shelters. Be sure to check out the Health Page with tips on how we treat everything from kennel cough to giardia, heartworm to hip dysplasia with herbs and homeopathy. Rarely do we ever have to visit a conventional vet.

On our new page Found Pit Bulls we tell you what to do when you find a dog - or cat - in distress. We just helped a woman who had a very pregnant pit bull dumped on her with these same easy tips on the page. And now we're sharing with you, so please feel free to cross-post this blog with your animal-loving friends. It's time for a change in the way we treat animals in this country.

Public outcry over Alabama animal slaughters

 

Lawrence County, Alabama rescuers and animal lovers are begging for help. According to locals, the stray and other animals at risk are being euthanized in mass quantities.

Lawrence County commissioner Bobby Burch 'made the motion to show we are serious about (a shelter)' in May of this year.

"It's time for this man to take responsibility. Responsibility for the zoo, responsibility for Bobbie Taylor's. Responsibility for the suffering of thousands and thousands and thousands of animals in Lawrence County. It's time for this SOB to step aside. He tried to have the dogs sold at a flea market. He is a man without ethics. A man who doesn't give a shit what happens to the animals of that county. Only that no money goes to them. But you can bet his pockets are lined thickly."


The county is currently in a six-month contract with Kimberly Carpenter and Changing 42 Animal Rescue to take in animals previously going to the Morgan County animal shelter.

"All the drama that happened in Lawrence County was for NOTHING! Nothing was resolved, nothing solved. Nothing improved. In fact it's worse. And now....here we go again!"


Carpenter is paid $20 per animal, the same amount Morgan County was receiving.
"are you going to allow your tax dollars to be spent shipping dogs 55 miles away to be euthanized for 12.00?"

The six-month contract was approved on March 29, with Commissioner Joey Hargrove saying the county would build its own shelter in that time from with money from the capital projects fund.

"Now he is wanting to send Lawrence County animals to Marion County where they will pay 12.00 per dog, 6.00 for smalls and just euthanize them."

These local animal rescuers and advocates are begging locals to call and publicize the plan to ship the local Lawrence County animals to Marian Count only to be euthanized.

"this is UNACCEPTABLE and we, as rescuers, are sick and tired of cleaning up after this sickening man. They need to man up and build a damn shelter and stop this contract crap. And this county needs to be audited."

"Elections are coming up next year. If the commissioners want to play, let's make them pay. Vote them OUT!?"
