This Is Why I Take In Every Stray…

and try as hard as I can to find their owners.  The story below is copied from a listing of animal control offices. It is not my story.

ADOPT BUT NEVER DROP ANY PET OFF THERE PLEASE!!!

DO NOT TAKE ANIMALS HERE EVER.‎ – ‎ – 2010-06-10
KILLED MY DOG. DENIED HE WAS THERE FOR 3 DAYS. Finally admitted they killed him as soon as he arrived. Claimed he has a broken back. BS!!! It was a senior dog with arthritis causing a curve in spine. AND they had my phone number I called SUN, MON, TUES, WED……they denied he was there. I could have taken him to MY vet. He was not their property!!!! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND and LOVED DEARLY!! The girl who took him there thought she was doing me a favor so I could easily find him. That was not the case. They ignored my messages leaving information on Sunday and denied he was there for 3 more days. This should be CRIME. Have you ever seen video of what they do to animals???
Watch this before you ever take an animal there.

Anyone who can watch that without wanting the throw up is not human, let alone HUMANE!!
Have you ever seen what an entire industrial dump truck full of dead cats and dogs looks like? I have and it was at THAT SPCA when I had volunteered there. Also freezers full of dead cats.
I’m not some PETA enviro whack job either. I am a concerned citizen for living, feeling, creators who have no voice for themselves.
DO NOT have any animal piced up by animal control or the police or drop an animal at the SPCA. It is a hell on earth and a slaughter house.
May they answer to their god for murdering my dog in cold blood as soon he arrived and then LIED over and over.
I WILL EXPOSE YOU SPCA!!!!!! My best friend’s death will NOT be in vain. People need to understand exactly what you are and it is any BUT humane.

This is part of the reason I have searching like a mad woman for the last few days for very sick and abused Great Dane who is lost.  She was brought to my house to stay for one night before going to a foster home.  She jumped the fence and ran off when I turned my head for just a minute.

She had been so abused that I don’t think she knew what to do with someone treating her nicely. She is skin and bones. I have never seen a dog like that before. Her spirit seemed dead.

So if you live in SC and see a black Great Dane with a white neck and feet who is nothing but bones please get in touch with me through the blog.  I don’t have photo because she wasn’t here long enough to for me to take one. She is very gentle.

Never Give Up

This story of a long lost dog will inspire you to never give up if your dog goes missing. A microchip and an animal hero were the keys to this beloved baby getting back home after six long years! And this story comes with an extra dose of happy to it! So remember, never, ever give up if your dog has been lost or possibly stolen.

One of the most important things you can do is to visit the pounds and shelters everyday. I know that when people just make a phone call that is not always sufficient enough. You have to go and look with your own eyes! And put out more flyers than you think are needed. Never give up!

How To Find A Lost Pet

While looking for tips to find a dog that is lost in our area I came across this information on PetFinder and wanted to share it with all of you. Please share it with everyone you know who has a pet.

I particularly like the advice of making huge signs as most that are posted on 8.5 x 11 paper are far too small to be seen while driving in a car. Get whiteboard and cut it out in the shape of a dog. Just a generic dog shape will be fine. Write, Help me I’m lost, on it. That will catch someone’s attention don’t you think? Put your phone number in a large easy to read size. Post signs at any and every store that will let you. Go to your local truck stop if there is one in your area and hand out fliers to the truckers. They are nice and willing to help. That is a lot of eyes.

I don’t think it would hurt to ask the local police either. After all they are out there riding around right? And how about local realtors? And mailmen! All they can say is no, but if you flashed the picture then they have seen it. Leave it on your mailbox. Set up a large poster size whiteboard/foamboard in your front yard with huge ( it really does have to be huge)  font in black or red. Don’t forget the local dog and children’s park.  Use Craigslist!

Also I have noticed a lot of dogs without collars while at home. What sense does that make?!  If they run out of the door and get lost they are without their identification!!! Make them wear it all of the time.  A lot of the lost dog ads say that the animal doesn’t have it’s collar on. That is a an accident waiting to happen.

Any other ideas are very welcome.
