Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 21:44:38 -0600 From: Rocky Gates <grambo7 @bellsouth .net> Subject: Dogs Saved From Vermilion/South Louisiana Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LouisianaDogCatRescu/
Many thanks to the groups who saved dogs from the Vermilion Parish Rabies Control. They have no adoption program so if the owners don't claim them.....rescue is their only hope.
- two scruffy dogs and the little rattie went to a group in southern VA...thanks Pam and Sunny
- LoneStar Boxer rescue came through for the white boxer and the tri-pod pup....Ariann and LoneStar...hugs (Ariann also paid 100% for the tri-pods vet bill for her amputation)
- 1atatime rescue in Canada are taking the 6 tiny pups.....puppy kisses to you
- The WGSD is going to rescue in northern VA....will be leaving on the next transport....thanks Ann
- St. Martin Humane Society is taking a brindle boxer mix and her 9 pups that she delivered this morning....Martha and Marie...not many would have taken this dog.
- The chocolate labs is going to lab rescue in Lake Charles...thanks Liz and Sheila
- IMPS stepped up to the plate and is taking the old min pin.....hugs to Diane and her group
- Labs4Rescue is taking the other chocolate lab....Cathy you always come through
- And one of my own foster homes is taking the yellow lab/basset mix....Robert and Ana....my love to you.
As most of you know taking a dog from a shelter is a medical roule*tte, you never know what they will have. Fortunately parvo, distemper and the infernal kennel cough have never been a problem at Vermilion (not a case of any in 2 years) so there is little to worry about there. But heartworms are always a major problem and a major expense. And then just the routine stuff like altering, shots, etc are not cheap. So if you are not able to take a dog but want to help one or more of these groups with the expenses incurred for these dogs, please contact me. I will put you in contact with the rescue who can tell you how you can donate. Please try to help these groups help these dogs.

Ascension Parish: URGENT!!! Help save these dogs! (Jan 5)
From: Nellie mailto:tnallain@cox-dot-net (@cox.net) Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 6:47 AM URGENT!!! Help save these dogs! Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gulfcoast_rescue_n_transport/
Where do I begin...at the beginning I suppose. Returning calls night before last, I talked to one lady I will never forget. This whole situation is confusing and I still can't make sense of it, so bear with me here. I talked to a lady named Miss Ida in Ascension Parish who began feeding a stray dog a while back...of course the dog ended up having puppies and of course it welcomed other friends to come over for food, thus more pups, more dogs, etc. Miss Ida had called and asked us to take 4 pups, when I returned the call, she said she ddn't know how many there were, possibly as many as 12. She had brought them to a vet clinic, but "they weren't taking puppies". She called animal control and they were maybe going to take them. Poor lady had not a clue what would happen to them at animal control. This lady is 84 years old and seems a bit confused and I think deep down has a big heart. HOWEVER she stated to me that she would "just poison them all." She wants them all gone, the little pups (like the one you see her holding), as well as the black pup and the tan pup. The spotty looking dog lying next to the puppies is the Mom to the pup she's holding. Notice the picture with the garbage cans. While I was there checking out the situation, I noticed flies and a horrible smell coming from one of the garbage cans. She had told me the night before that she leans the garbage cans on the side and puts bedding in there for the pups and 2 of them love to sleep together. Well, when she was trying to find the other pups, she moved the garbage can and what she thought previously was 2 pups lying in the can, was obviously 1 DEAD puppy. I don't mean recently dead...I mean dead for a few days....this was what I smelled. I am not here to bash this lady by any stretch...I think she means well, to a certain degree that is, but how she could not have noticed this is beyond me. Possibly her age has brought on some of the confusion I'm convinced she's experiencing. Bottom line is there are somewhere between 4-12 dogs that need to be rescued from this situation.
She wants them all gone, and stated once again that she will poison them. I have no room for anything, overloaded as everyone else, but I promised her I would take some pics and see if I could find help for these dogs. She tells me there are 3 Momma Dogs in heat. I only saw 4 dogs there (plus the dead one), but she maintains there are up to 12 dogs.
PLEASE, PLEASE forward this around and if anyone can help with saving any of these dogs, email me privately, and I will give you her number. I will also see what I can do to drum up donations for help to any rescue that assists with saving these innocent victims. Whatever it takes to save them.
Let me say that while there I saw 6 bowls of fresh clean water and at least that much with food as well. The youngest pup appears to be about 3 months old, the other 2 look to be about 5 months and I believe the one Mom I saw is very young as well.
