Ashtabula OH — Crisis at the APL — 100+ animals may be killed — all are free to rescue

November 26th, 2008

Crossposting is appreciated

I know I’ve posted many times about the overcrowding at the Ashtabula County APL in NE Ohio.   But the situation has reached a breaking point and the Humane Society is about to come in and shut the place down.   They need to get numbers down *drastically*….like to about 1/3 of what they are now.  This may mean killing more than 100 animals.  Euthanasia of adoptable dogs begins Friday.

All animals come fully vetted and can go to approved rescues for free.  Transport help is available.

Please contact me at dawn.shimp @ gmail.com (gmail.com) if you can help.

Please see the adoptable animals below.  Not all are listed..many more will be added in the coming days.

Thanks,
Dawn

Ashtabula OH — Poor old Mama, long-shot Rottie, has two weeks to live

November 26th, 2008

Crossposting is appreciated!

Mama is going to be a tough girl to place, I’m not fooling myself on that one.  But she is *so* incredibly loving that I’m going to try anyways…

Mama is a senior Rotti mix who is absolutely gorgeous.   She is one of the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever met, and will fall all over you looking for pets.   Unfortunately she is heartworm positive and also has mammary tumors.   The shelter can treat the heartworm if she has a rescue to go to.  In addition to these physical challenges she can be picky about the dogs she likes.  She’s not overtly aggressive but can have problems when kenneled with certain dogs.   Others she adores…she’s in with a young male right now who she’s madly in love with…she’s going to be very sad when he goes to rescue this weekend.   And then, to make matters worse, she was SAFER tested this week and failed the food test.   So, things aren’t looking too good for poor Mama.  I was given two weeks on Monday (11.24) to find rescue for her, or else she will be euthanized.

Please contact me at dawn.shimp @ gmail.com (gmail.com) if you can help Mama.   Transport assistance is available and there is no fee to take her into your rescue.   Mama’s PF listing is at http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11063136 and additional pics can be seen athttp://www.flickr.com/photos/paws4acause2006/2801973850/in/set-72157606906486463/

Thanks,

Why (Not) Vegan? — A question for animal rescuers

November 14th, 2008

Until recently most of my work was done in the animal rescue community.    When I first started I was surprised to find that most animal rescuers continue to eat animals.   After a while I was no longer surprised, but I can’t say I ever got used to it.   In the entire time I’ve been involved in rescue I’ve not to my knowledge met another vegan.   I’ve met a few vegetarians.    I’m not one to judge other people…I went back to eating animals for 10 full years after being vegetarian in college, so I understand how easy it can be to blind yourself to the truth.   But I think it’s important for rescuers to understand that no matter how many dogs and cats you rescue in a day, a weekend, a year, if you are continuing to eat animals, or animal products, you are still ending more lives than you are saving.   Next time you do a transport or pull from a high kill shelter, look into the dog’s eyes and know that the unconditional love you see there is also present in the eyes of cows and pigs.    Next time you’re laughing with friends about your rescued cat’s quirky habits, know that chickens and turkeys have quirky habits too.   And next time you’re protesting a puppy mill auction know that there are animals of numerous species suffering and dying within walking distance.   I’m honestly not trying to be mean or tell anyone that they are “bad,” but I *am* trying to make you think.   All animals deserve our love; if you are caring enough to give your time helping animals in need, I think on some level you already know that.

Check out the counter to your right to see how many animals have been killed in the time it took you to read the above paragraph.   For more information on veganism, please check out veganoutreach.org

Help Peaceful Prairie buy the farm!

November 12th, 2008

Urgent help is needed!

Molly from  Emma’s K9 Kitchen forwarded me the following email from Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary today. They only have until the end of the week to raise the money they need for this, but if everyone pulls together, we can make this happen!! Please help the animals by helping this wonderful sanctuary see this through. To donate, please visit their site or go here.

Dear Friend of Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary,

We have an incredible opportunity to expand the sanctuary by 35 acres and to acquire a 4000 square foot home that will be converted into an Education Center and volunteer / intern housing and B&B for sanctuary visitors.

This kind of capital improvement to the sanctuary is 10 years overdue — but we now have the opportunity to purchase the property for $100,000.00.

Thanks to one VERY generous benefactor, we’ve already raised $70,000.00!!!

We need to raise the other $30,000.00 before the end of the week in order to make a cash offer on the property.

Another family has placed an offer and, due to the Agricultural zoning, they will have to use the land to enslave and exploit animals.

Please help us stop it before it starts, while simultaneously expanding the sanctuary and our ability to care for and advocate for countless more victims of the egg, dairy, flesh producers and consumers.

Time is of the essence - if you are able to contribute to this, please let me know right away.

Thank You!
Michele Alley-Grubb
Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary

Pumpkin is home!

November 5th, 2008

I’m thrilled to say that Pumpkin arrived safely at his new home in NYC :)

His new mom Caren (Misspostit to many of you) sent me these pics. The first two are the little fellow (now named Spencer…what a great name!) lounging on the couch, the other two are at the vet’s office.

He got a clean bill of health, and glowing praise for what a nice job Dr. Veale did on his surgery.

Don’t you just love happy endings? Thanks so much to everyone for making this happen!

    About

    After years of soul-crushing corporate employment I moved to the country to start an animal rescue with my husband. Now I spend my days cleaning up poop, trying to find homes for animals in need, and making things, which I sell to support my rescue efforts. When I'm not in the doldrums of a depression I realize that I am very lucky indeed :)
