Still more kittens

still no help. Kitten season is when it rains more cats then dogs. But what we have right now is a pet monsoon! We have been flooded with cats, kittens, dogs and puppies lately. I have heard dozens of theories on why this is, but what ever is going on is slamming us! Check out the web site if you have room to take any!! www.bhvf.org

Nice News- Bruce the Dane has been rescued!

todays list with a few old faces

Vera is my sweet 10 year old 3 legged pit bull. I love her, but sadly Vera is depressed. I can't keep her here forever- its just no life for a ten year old dog. I am going to beg you, plead with you and hope that some one will come get her. John is still here. fully vetted and amazingly sweet.

Regina 399768 Is still here!!! look at the squishy face. I don't know how much longer she can stay! this is a 911 dog! totally vetted

This is Buddy 402012 a sweet goofy lab. we all know his type :)

this is Sasha 402143 a 4 month old kitten who bit someone on their thumb that was "removing" her for the basement. She was scared when she bit but now we can only let her go to rescues. She is a sweet kitten and purrs when you touch her.

So I am back at work now. I came back to a mess. Our dryer broke- but Sears is on the way to fix it. My PC died- but they got me a new one. Little rescue came while I was gone- But you will all come now right?

Update about the two APBTs girls

Hi guys. I am still in PA- and wow do I want to stay! I forgot how nice it is! There is so much land and you don't see a stray every 5 miles! Anyhow, I was sent a up date about the girls ( http://bhvfrescue.blogspot.com/2009/06/saved-untill-friday-morning.html)

Both are well and sweet; might have a home already too! Here is the rescue info, they are needing to raise funds to help cover the super med bills from the girls.

Little check boxes and todays big long list

This is Teen Idol 401978. Love this boy- Just one year old and already super cute. He was left here as a stray. The people who found him opened a car dog and he jumped right in and wagged his tail the whole way to our door. Then... he stopped. Now he has shut down. I love this guy - look at those ears!

400608 Ebony- Every one needs a black cat or 5. Ebony is just a super one. This girl is a show stopper- or would be if people knew a awesome cat when they saw one. Out of that cage she is so loving a sweet. Tossed out in GA tec building. People are so mean!

401473 Josh, GSDx- nice guy, gives awesome kisses! Will make some girl super happy one day. I hope he gets that chance

399410 Mandy. Here is another vetted dog. We love Mandy even though we have no idea what she is. I have her in as a Beagle mix. But I don't know about that. She is a little dog maybe 30 lbs with little low rider legs:)

A398787 Tina! Sweet humble Tina- is totally vetted and ready to go. Why can't people see the beauty of a black dog?!?!?! She is so happy and silly. How can any one walk past her?

****************

Hey guys- see the boxes at the bottom of each post? if your reading this and can help- by cross posting, pulling or whatever let me know by checking the box. And if you can't please check that box. This way I can hold a dog a little longer if there is a chance it could be rescued. If a dog or cat has a slight chance I would rather know then think there is no hope left and have to put it down. If you do check you can help- send me a e-mail, or leave your info in the comments and let me know who you are so we can work on that animal together! I can always get more info or call a lead you may have. BHVFrescue@gmail.com

If you far from FCAS and want to take a transport let me know that too. There is no cost to any shelter. There is a handful of paperwork but its nothing that should keep any one away.

Thanks super much!!!

Anti- tethering law

On September 4Th the new anti- tethering law will take place. No longer will any one in Fulton county be able to tether their dog. This is going to be super hard to police, so we need all the help in the world telling people its not okay any more! I know all rescuers have been saying this for years but no one had listened. Now the law is agreeing with you! yay!

The law is written that no dog can be tethered out side on on any chain, rope, tie out, trolley system etc unless the owner is right there.

This is going to go one of three ways-
one: no one will comply and state they did not know and there will be way way to many for us to police.
Two: Reuses, Dogs Deserve Better, vets, and more help us spread the word and help people learn to bring their dogs in, house train, and walk on leash. People get together and builds fences, educate, help and understands each others points of view. This keeps dogs in homes and maybe even gets them neutered!
Three: The general population freaks out and I have a line a mile long of people surrendering their dogs because they are scared of fines, and don't know how to keep their dogs now that they can't live on a chain. This kind of dog is not social, frustrated and NOT easy to adopt.

So here is the plan.

• PR! We will ask the press to push this until people are sick of hearing about it-TV, Print, Radio
• flyer's, door knockers, posters EVERY WHERE!
• web site info- packed with help on building fences, You tube videos on house training, leash walking, and more.
• We have free spay neuter program- this will help more people use it!
• Free training- we have a dog trainer here every day in August!

There is much more to this plan but this is what I need help with now.

What we need is a street team to be friendly and sweet. Pass out flyer's, invite people to training class, help get dogs spayed and neutered and let me know who you know in the media! This is a good thing and with everyone helping we can do awesome stuff with it.

Another use for food

Shelton kitty pants

Saved untill Friday morning

This is Ellissa- her burns are getting better. At this time the care she would need is her bandages changed every 3 days for a few more weeks. No one knows for sure what the burns are from but the vet thinks the marks look like other cases we have seen of hot oil or grease poured on to her. Ellissa was a stray- no one would claim ownership of her so we have no one we can prosecute for her burns. Ellissa will have no justice and unless some one steps up soon- she will have no life. She has been through so much.

This is Clem- she has no worries about what happened, she holds no grudges. I do. When the officer brought her in she had a wound that looked just like the dozens of gun shots we have seen so many times in the past. But no bullet. No owner, no nothing. Just like Ellissa she will die on Friday. No one will ever get to know how sweet she is, no one will walk her proudly through the park and tell everyone they meet how wonderful Pit Bulls can be. This girl will never get to be an ambassador for her breed. Instead people will keep thinking how bad pit bulls are, how mean and how they must all be trained to fight. And the longer people think this the more they will be burned and shot, the more they will be baned from our apartments, communities and our parks.

Please help me save these two girls. They deserve so much better.
