What Is The Matter With The ASPCA of NY?

Pati — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:43:04 GMT

I watched the show long ago on Animal Planet and they seemed very eager to kill dogs. I see that a lot of the 'big box' shelters that are funded by donations seem to view killing dogs and cats as the only choice and yet there are alternatives if they seek them.

They just killed (I refuse to use the word euthanize, it covers the truth) Oreo yesterday. The poor dog that was thrown off a roof after being beaten and abused by her so-called owner. They say it was done humanely, but I can't believe that it was anything less than terrifying for the poor dog. There were groups willing to take the dog on. I didn't see Best Friends say a word though and that rather disappointed me. After all the whoopla about Vick's dogs, I would hope that other dogs would still continue to matter.

I never ever donate to the large organizations like ASPCA or Human Societies unless I am absolutely sure they are working towards a true no-kill.

MAJOR S.O.S.!!!!! Kitties TIMMY & MUSH need HELP ASAP!!!!**

TWO Declawed Sweet Hearts TIMMY & MUSH will be euthanized on NOV 6!!! Owner passed away and HUSBAND can no longer keep them!

NOTE FROM JOE, the husband:

I have been trying to do what’s right for the cats and my wife’s memory since she passed in February, but maybe I haven’t been going about it the right way or vigorously enough, I don’t know. In any case, I’ve run out of practical options for their care. I’ve started researching vets who will euthanize them because any number of people have told me that that would be far more humane than releasing them.

*****(Joe has been trying to find a no kill to take them to no avail!!!!)

Timmy is the black and white one and Mush is the solid grey one.

I’ll e-mail you copies of the health records I recently had the vet fax me. I can tell you this much: Both cats are healthy. They’ve been with us since just after they were born. They have literally never been near another cat and have never been outdoors, even for a minute, except to go to the vet. One cat is due for booster shots (I think that’s the right term) in November; the other one is overdue. The more ill my wife became, the less we were inclined to worry about vet visits and neither cat is particularly happy about going into the carrier. I entice them with treats now and that works.

Here’s a personality description I wrote: Timmy’s extremely affectionate and very approachable after he gets to know that you’re not going to eat him. His favorite activities are licking, purring and sitting for a Love Glove treatment. Every night he waits for me to get under the covers (as he did with my wife) and then “tucks me in” by licking, cuddling, purring and resting his paws on my arm. Then he retreats to another part of the bed. He spends most of his day making sure my bed and bedroom are safe from intruders. He does make forays into another room to eat, drink and use the litter box, and he occasionally journeys downstairs to see if the first floor still looks the same. It’s no surprise that he’s about 3 pounds heavier and larger than his brother. Of the two cats, he’s the one far more apt to hang out when “aliens” (my guests) appear in the house.

Mush is quite different. He’s much slimmer and lighter because, although he eats and drinks as much, he prowls my large house day and night to do bird watching, investigate every noise, hide under the bed for a while if “aliens” appear, and wait for me to settle down for a meal or tv watching so he can get undivided attention, petting and scratching. Also, once the aliens are settled onto the couches, Mush will be the first one to come and check them out if he doesn’t already have a “bad” history with them. He will let me know if the water bowl needs filling, and he does it with the same vocalizing every time. He also “chirps” a lot. He frequently looks at me while he’s “talking” as if he thinks I’m getting it. I think Mush is the smarter of the two brothers....

From Trudy:

so... they are going to be put to sleep by Nov. 6th!!

They are two beautiful, sweet boys who are front DECLAWED, healthy and 8.5 yrs. old.
They do not deserve to die because their owner did.

There must be someone out there looking for two declawed kitties to love!???
If you can provide these sweet boys a home or if you know someone who can, please contact

Joe Darrigo

jdarr@optonline.net

We hope these boys reach a safe, loving home or foster before it's too late! Time is of the essence.
These are not the greatest pictures but you can get an idea of how handsome they are!!

THANKS TO ALL!!! Trudy

ECMCR needs help with the following:

Case Managers - A Case Manager processes adoption applications and plays matchmaker between our available cats/kittens and an adopter. Responsibilities include contacting personal and vet references and conducting a telephone interview with the applicant. All results must be written up in a review. Good telephone and written communication skills are required. If you believe you might be interested in this position, please submit a Case Manager Volunteer application:
http://www.ecmcr.org/form_case_manager_application.htm

Foster Homes - Foster homes are an integral part of our operation. Without them, we wouldn't be able to rescue any cats/kittens. ECMCR pays vet bills and the foster home is responsible for providing shelter, food, litter, supplies, toys, and love. A foster home has the final say over where their foster cats/kittens will be adopted. If you are interested in fostering a Maine Coon cat/kitten, please submit a Volunteer Foster Application:
http://www.ecmcr.org/form_foster_application.htm

Transporter - A transporter drives our foster cats/kittens from shelters to foster homes or from foster homes to their approved adopters. If you are interested in transporting, please submit a volunteer application to Transport:
http://www.ecmcr.org/form_transport_application.htm

Once you submit any of these applications, a volunteer will contact you and answer any questions that you might have. Feel free to e-mail Debbie at ECMR@aol.com if you have any questions.

Tippy, female Rat Terrier, 10 lbs., UTD, spayed. (Chatham ON/RTRC foster to Ottawa ON/RTRC foster)

THE FINE PRINT: As a volunteer transport coordinator, I am dependent on what the senders tell me about our passengers' temperaments. The very nature of rescue transport creates some risk for those who participate in it; even a good-natured dog may find it stressful to be passed from stranger to stranger and cooped up with unfamiliar dogs, and in consequence may act in uncharacteristic ways. Neither I nor Open Arms Pound Rescue can accept liability for any accidents or incidents that may occur during the transport.

OTRA Verified Transporter

Huntington, NY - Little Shelter Animal Rescue Needs Pet Bedding And/Or Your Unwanted Blankets, Quilts and Comforters

punky0617 — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:57:01 GMT

Make the life of a shelter animal more comfortable!

After a long day of strutting their stuff for potential adopters, our pups and pooches need something soft and snuggly to lay their weary heads on. Unfortunately we are very low on suitable bedding and desperately need donations!

Please bring your unneeded blankets, quilts and comforters to Little Shelter and help make the lives of the dogs in our care just that little bit more comfortable.

Please note that blankets are best because they are easier to wash, and the dogs and cats can not take the stuffing out. Also keep in mind, that donated blankets/quilts need to be small enough to fit in a residential sized washing machine.

For more information please call (631) 368-8770 x206.

'Adopt A Shelter Dog' Month

Friday's Fabulous Furball

They don't come much cuter than Leo, and that's why he is Friday's 'Fabulous Furball'. Read Leo's story below and see if he would be the right fit for your family!

He might be small in stature, but Leo thinks he really is 'king of the jungle'. This pint-sized pooch has 'killer' good looks and a personality 'to boot'.

One of Leo's favorite activities is to romp and play with his BFF's Clara and Justin Bobby. To see him frolicking is quite a sight - he prances and dances like he's on an episode of 'Dancing With The Dogs'.

Leo's vision of the perfect date includes fine-dining on chicken and hotdogs, followed by a leisurely stroll, ending with a nice, slow belly rub and a snuggle on the lap of his favorite person.

Leo has grown tired of the bachelor lifestyle, and he is ready for long-term commitment.

To read more about Leo click here ( http://www.littleshelter.com/dogs/dog6-1.htm ), or come to Little Shelter to meet him! Bring his favorite cuisine - chicken or hotdogs - and you'll be best friends in no time!

If Leo is not the right dog for you, don't worry - Little Shelter is sure to have someone who is. We have dogs and puppies of all ages, breeds, colors and personalities, all waiting for loving homes.

If you can't adopt, please consider making a generous donation to help us save the lives of more needy animals like Leo.

Dear Veterinary Colleague,
Please see the information below about a recent pet food recall concerning thiamine deficient cat food
manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods and sold under the Premium Edge brand name. Cats consuming
the thiamine deficient food may experience neurological signs requiring evaluation and treatment by a
veterinarian. Consumers are asked to return cat food from the affected lots to the point of retail
purchase. Premium Edge Pet Food can be reached atSOO-977-8797.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Diamond Pet Foods has withdrawn from distribution the following date codes of Premium Edge

RAH0501A22X L8lb., RAH0501A2X 6lb. The calls from pet owners or veterinarians regarding
this issue have been centered in the Rochester, NY area. All retailoutlets shipped the above lots
were contacted, asking them to pull the product from the store shelves. The retailers were also
asked to contact their customers via email or telephone requesting them to check the date
code of the food. However, if you or anyone you know has these date codes of Premium Edge

Wednesday's 'Wonderful Woofer' - 'Adopt A Shelter Dog' Month

punky0617 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:35:55 GMT

'Adopt A Shelter Dog' Month

Wednesday's Wonderful Woofer

Buddy Madison never fails to put a smile on the face of those around him, and that's why we've chosen him to be Wednesday's 'Wonderful Woofer'. Read below to find out more about Buddy Madison, and see if he could be the right dog for your family!

Buddy Madison knows the joy of having a home. He knows the comfort of having his own bed, his own bowl, and someone to shower him with love. Unfortunately Buddy's world was turned upside down when his mom became ill, and Buddy had to be returned to our care. For weeks, Buddy Madison would stare towards the gate, wondering when the 'love of his life' would return to get him.

Buddy Madison has realized that he will find 'love' again, and he is ready to start the search. This handsome, single guy has lots of energy, and could give any of the New York Giants a run for their money with his ball-playing skills. Buddy finds comfort in familiar things, and just like Linus, he takes his favorite 'blanket' with him wherever he goes. He has an affinity for bagels, but his all-time favorite treat is Beggin' Strips.

When Buddy bonds, he bonds strongly! It is not uncommon for our staff members to be typing away on their computer, only to feel a soft muzzle nestle on their leg. Buddy Madison is quite the 'catch' and he is ready for a committed relationship.

To read more about Buddy Madison click here ( http://www.littleshelter.com/dogs/dog2-1.htm ), or come to see Little Shelter and be charmed by him in person! Bring him some Beggin' Strips and he'll be beggin' to go hop in your car and go home with you!

If Buddy Madison is not the right dog for you, don't worry - Little Shelter is sure to have someone who is. We have dogs and puppies of all ages, breeds, colors and personalities, all waiting for loving homes.

If you can't adopt, please consider making a generous donation to help us save the lives of more needy animals like Buddy Madison.

October is 'Adopt a Shelter Dog' month, and the perfect time to add a four-legged friend to your family! Dogs make great companions! They're intelligent, they give unconditional love, they help to reduce stress, help to improve your mood (who can be grumpy with a dog around?), and encourage you to get out and exercise.

Little Shelter has dogs and puppies of all sizes, ages, breeds, colors and personalities, all waiting for loving homes. Come on in and meet with our adoption staff who would be happy to answer all of your questions and help you find the perfect companion for you or your family.

So if the time is right for you, celebrate 'Adopt a Shelter Dog Month' with a special addition to your family!

Trick or Dog Treat....?

punky0617 — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:03:35 GMT

Trick or DOG TREAT.....?

Greetings!

The dogs at Little Shelter are very good at learning new tricks and commands, and we always like to give them a 'little something' for their good behavior. In fact, they've been so good, that we've run out of treats and have nothing to reward them with (or to give them 'just because')!

As you can imagine, this has caused quite an uproar in our kennels and the dogs have gone on strike! Darius is refusing to sit, Butch Cassidy said 'NO WAY' to down, and Riley just turned her head and looked the other way when asked for her paw!

And to make matters worse, the problem has been leaked to our feline population (we suspect that Leo is the culprit), and they're feeling quite miffed that their treat supply is almost empty too!

Please help us end this now!

We desperately need donations of dog and cat treats to keep our dog and cat residents happy and will accept any brand.

Donations can be brought to:

Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center

33 Warner Road

Huntington, N.Y. 11743

We are open

1pm - 7pm weekdays

and

12pm-5pm weekends

Monetary donations are also gratefully accepted.

For more information please call (631) 368-8770 x205 or email jodi@littleshelter.com.
