Luckless Lucky Needs a Change of Fate

ktaylor2010 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:25:00 GMT

Lucky is a 6 year old Jack Russell and is in dire need of a home environment. Lucky has had the worst luck, but an angel is working hard to make sure Lucky's life begins to reflect his name.

Lucky is presently at a no-kill facility, the Ocean City Humane Society in New Jersey and his link on petfinder.com is http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14516835&mtf=1

Alexandra first met Lucky a couple of months ago when she began volunteering at the shelter. It took a while to warm up to Lucky and to understand him. He was a pathetic little thing, very misunderstood, becoming increasingly neurotic in the confines of a concrete cell. In his cell he barked his head off, ran around in circles and was bouncing off the walls. When Alexandra would take him for walks Lucky was so nervous and he did not want to leave the shelter grounds. Instead of walks, Lucky and Alexandra would sit "quietly" outside in the sun. Lucky sniffed, he surveyed his surroundings, he enjoyed treats, and he really seemed to relish the few moments of "peace".

A couple of weeks ago, Lucky was adopted! Apparently by a couple who had had "experience" with Jack Russells. Unfortunately, he was returned in less than a week. The tragic thing is that when brought back to the shelter, Lucky was blind. The adopters "claim" his eyes were watering when they took him but once he went home with them he was blind.

Alexandra went to see Lucky a few days ago and he was a mess. Clearly in pain both physically and emotionally. The results of a brief check by a visiting wellness vet is Lucky needs to have one eye removed. It is thought that Lucky can see "shadows" with the other. He is currently on pain meds to reduce the pain he is in.

Alexandra deeply feels that the kennel environment is going to destroy this poor boy and he needs out fast! Uunfortunately he apparently does not get along with other animals and his social skills are quickly deteriorating.

Alexandra knows he needs medical attention, training, and a LOT of LOVE. He's a misunderstood little boy who deserves a chance. If she could, Alexandra would welcome him into her home and get him the best medical care available. She has five seniors (three are Best Friends kids) and has her hands full. Alexandra has made it a priority and a mission of mercy to find Lucky a home.

Can you reach out and welcome Lucky into your home?.

Please contact Alexandra for more information via email (zjdf44@aol.com); you can also go to the Petfinder site, link is above, or contact the Ocean City Humane Society at (609) 399-2018.

Thank you in advance for your care and concern!

Four-Legged Food Drive

pitachic — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:36:16 GMT

The Best Friends First Home Forever Home Four-Legged Food Drive is still going strong in the Pittsburgh area. Due to the economy many families are facing the possibility of making a difficult decision because they are struggling to feed their pets and these pets are being turned into shelters in record numbers.

The Four-Legged Food Drive is an effort to keep these pets in their homes with the families that love them and out of the already over-crowded shelters.

The Petco store at the Waterfront has presented us with the opportunity to be in their store as often as possible between now and Christmas Eve. This will enable us to help many families keep their pets but we need your help!

Volunteers are needed to be at the store to collect pet food donations. If you are interested in helping out you can choose whatever day is convenient for you between now and Christmas Eve. Please contact Sherry at pitachic@verizon.net for more information and to sign-up.

5y/o GSD/Mix, dog friendly in Abington, PA needs help NOW - no pictures yet

Onecosail — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:41:16 GMT

November 2, 2009 6:41:35 PM EST

From:

"Rosemary DiStefano" <rosemary.distefano@comcast.net>

I got a call from the boarding kennel I use, Best Friends in Willow Grove. They got a call today from a gentleman who is 93 years old. He and his wife, who is 83, live in Abington and the man has been having some incidents where he has fallen down, requiring the police be called to deal with his medical problems. They have a 5 yo male GSD/maybe husky mix dog that is not aggressive but does bark at the police when they come. The man tells me the police have told him he needs to "get rid of this dog" because if they have to come out to help him and his is not able to put the dog away, they may have to "shoot him." The man also says he is not able to get the dog out for walks and basically is just not physically able to care for this dog. He was planning on taking him to the shelter tomorrow. I told him I would send out an urgent plea to see if someone is willing to take him or temp foster him at least until I can find him a rescue to go to or a permanent home.

I have NO pictures and the man wants him out of the home in the next couple of days, he is afraid he will have another fall and something bad will happen to the dog if the cops come out.

They have had the dog since he was a puppy. He is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccines. I just spoke to someone at his vet's office and they confirmed that he is neutered and utd, they saw him on June 1, 2009. As of that date, he was in good health. The woman I spoke to knows the dog and says he is a very sweet and "passive" dog and they have never had any problems with him. He weighed 85 lbs. when he was last seen by the vet but the woman said he is probably a bit overweight. The man said he is a GSD/Husky mix, however, the woman I spoke to at the clinic thinks he is "mostly GSD" or might even be a pb GSD. He is good with other dogs, he has not been around cats. He has never been crated. He has not been around young children.

If someone can either foster or can take this dog into rescue, please let me know ASAP!

Aloha:

Mahalo for posting this.

I think it should be routed throughout the entire PA Go Local Network and even on folks's facebook pages in PA.

Oddly enough, crimes against animals carry way too minimal penalties from years behind bars to financial fines.

Best of luck in finding the perpetrator in this case.

Take care.

REWARD FOR INFORMATION CHESTER CO AREA; DAILY LOCAL NEWS STORY

tescott — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:01:47 GMT

Story is from THE DAILY LOCAL NEWS By DANIELLE LYNCH, Staff Writer ..permission to reprint

The Chester County SPCA is now offering a substantial reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the slayings of two young dogs, Luna and Emma.

SPCA spokesman Richard Britton said Wednesday that the reward increased from $500 to $15,000. The reward fund consists of $2,500 from the Humane Society of the United States, $500 from John DeBella of WMGK radio and the remaining from private citizens.

The necropsy confirmed that the dogs — aGerman shorthaired pointer purebred and a German shorthaired pointer mix — died of gunshots to their heads. The necropsy was performed at The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine's New Bolton Center in Kennett Square.

The dogs were found dead execution-style near railroad tracks near Brinton's Bridge Road in Pennsbury about 1 p.m. Sunday. The two dogs were reportedly shot between their eyes and then placed tail-to-tail by the railroad tracks.

JoAnne Durfee spotted the dead dogs while she was walking her own dog on Sunday. Durfee said she walks the route by the railroad tracks every day.

"I was horrified because they were posed in a way that made them look like mirror images of each other," said Durfee on Wednesday. "I was very upset and I'm glad the public is outraged."

Earlier Sunday, the SPCA received a report from a man who said his dogs were missing from his farm on Wawaset Road in Pocopson. The dogs found at the railroad tracks reportedly matched the description the owner provided to authorities.

The owner last saw his dogs at about 3 p.m. Saturday. The dogs were on the porch and did not Have leashes on, according to Britton.

"They had free run of the 100-acre farm," he said.

Britton said the penalty for this crime, which is considered a misdemeanor of animal cruelty, is up to two years in prison and/or a $1,000 fine.

The SPCA received a report of a suspicious vehicle near Brinton's Bridge Road on Sunday. The vehicle was described as a maroon Ford F-150 pickup with a cap.

State police at the Avondale Barracks have been contacted for assistance, according to Britton.

Investigators ask anyone with information about this incident to contact the SPCA by calling -692-6113, ext. 213 or by e-mailing aps@ccspca.org.

To contact staff writer Danielle Lynch, send an e-mail to dlynch@dailylocal.com.

Looking for an American Bulldog or All Breeds rescue to place victim of foreclosure

Alexandra1975 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:30:53 GMT

I live in Lancaster, PA and I called our local Humane League about an American Bulldog/Dalmation mix that was living across the street from me. The house was being foreclosed on and the owners are going through a nasty divorce so they abandoned the dog with the house. I went in and took the dog since the front door was open and I knew that the water was turned off and my neighbor and I were splitting up evenings caring for the dog. My neighbor and I tried getting the cruelty officer at the Humane League to press charges against her owners but there wasn't enough evidence to prove abuse, only neglect. My neighbor and I are at our max with dogs and cats but we were diligently trying to find a home for here working within a week's time frame. The officer took her back to the Humane League. I check in on her every week. She has a month to go before there is a 50/50 chance of euthanasia.

The staff say she's very sweet and they've all fallen in love with her but they feel she is best for a rescue as she displays aggression with toys. I would bet money on the fact that she never had toys in the home she lived in for eight months. Prior to that, she was at the League. She's probably around 3 years of age, mostly white with black spots around her eyes and tail, 50-60 lbs, submissive, sweet, good around dogs and cats and has had experience living with children.

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice for me?

Lindsey is the local adoption coordinator at the Humane League who works with rescues. Lindsey's email address is: dogrescue@humaneleague.com. She has a packet of photos that she can send out if someone out there would be interested in taking a look at Jessie.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

New Fundraiser Idea for Rescue Shelters $15,000 profit no joke

JeanU — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:35:48 GMT

Hello Everyone!

I have had the amazing opportunity to work with A Night On The Town which is a company that offers a brand new way of fund raising for any size animal shelter. They have several different packages to meet your needs and the best part is there is NO money out of your poket.

The basic concept is using custom playing cards as coupon books to sell to your community and it worked wonders for us.

We did this fundraiser and made $15,000 profit for our shelter which is HUGE for us. They do have packages to make up to $150,000 profit it's brilliant as far as I am concerned.

If you are interested you can check out their website http://www.fundraising-unique.com I worked with Kelly she was super helpful and a pleasure to work with. She will explain all the details to you and go over everything you need to make this happen.

Rottie mix Philly/South Jersey losing his home

ddavidv — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:12:02 GMT

I was going to take this dog in, but unfortunately he does not appear to be suitable for the other dogs in my home (he's a bit of a grumpy alpha male). This is the post made by the son of the owner:

I know this is a longshot, but is anyone interested in adopting an older Sheperd/Rottweiler mix?

Here's the situation. My mom passed away from *** cancer this summer. She owned a 10-11 year old(I forget exact age) shep/rot. My sister lived with her and is caring for the dog now. Unfortunately for financial reasons my sister cannot afford to keep the house. We have found my sister a condo BUT they are restrictive on dogs and he cannot go with her.

He is 10-11 years old, neutered, overweight and slightly arthritic. He is a typical old dog, lays around most of the day. He is housebroken and never has accidents, even being left alone for 12 hours or so.

There is a time limit. I believe the caretaker is moving the first week of November.

If you can help, please contact the caretaker Stephanie at: susieq3371@msn.com

This is the information I found today on Linda Bruno,she was sent back to jail due to her having evidence of having more cats and food/supplys for those animals when clearly she was ordered not to..Her sentencing will be in December of this year.

Please join us for a peaceful, non-sponsored protest against the Eagles and the NFL. We will be meeting at 11th & Pattison Streets in South Philadelphia this Sunday at the home opener from 11 am - 1:30 pm.

We are trying to help animals in our region get rescued, fostered and adopted and we want our voices to be heard that we are angered by the actions of the NFL and the Eagles. If you can not join us, please boycott and write letters of protest to the Eagles and their sponsors. Thanks, hope to see you there.

Re: Vick Protest at Heinz Field. Be there, Pittsburgh.

AnimalFosterMom — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:06:40 GMT

Signs are usually good at protests. I would make sure the signs relay a good message and not just be derogatory. We all know vick sucks, but we want to teach other people why he sucks. You know what I mean? If the signs give people pause for thought, that's a good thing. If they are just negative, a lot of people will not pay attention. Remember, you are there with other protestors and they all know the truth about vick. We need to make sure the public who will witness the protest knows the truth as well.
