Faith is a good girl only 3 years old. She is out of time!!!

Have to go for a week

hey guys, my grandmother passed away. I am going to fly back to PA tomorrow and i will be gone a week. Jason is on vacation so please ask for Shelton or Tony if you need anything. If they can't be reached call adoptions.

While I am in PA I am sure I will visit local shelters- to see what they are doing and how we can work together. I will post neat things that look that might help all of us.

Please come down if you have any room. I need pulls more then ever right now. The 3 legged senior APBT NEEDS a plan asap she is to awesome. And cats, cats, cats....

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.

Bear hw poss

Sweet guy totaly vetted but the hw. Ball crazy!!

********** Adopted 6/21!!!************

And returned on 6/25/09 :( sigh

We have a Amazon Wish list!

Today's list

Meet Bruce! He's so scared and shy here- but would not even hurt a fly. Bruce is a gentle giant- he is mostly Dane but a little bit lab and maybe a little English mastiff too. Bruce is guessed at 5 years old. He is good with other dogs. NO adopters have come for him and he is due out on the 17th.


401543 Mad Eye. This sweet boy came in with his eye hanging out. It is the left eye where Popeye the one eye kitten is missing the right- so i am sure you see how awesome of a match set they would be. Mad eye is crazy cuddly and will do anything for a good pet. He came in neutered- we got him UTD on all shots and FIV/LIV tested him - he is negative.

******

On a side note I need (!!!!) newspaper!! If you know some place where we can get it please let me know. We were going to Dekalb Farmers Market but they asked us not to dumpster dive there anymore. Any one know a hotel that would like to team us with us? They have news paper and towels- but they never call me back. :(

Today we have a adoption event from 1-5 at Taj Ma- Hound Bakery for Dogs in Decatur. Its a awesome place and you should stop by! I will have a few fully veted dogs with me that can be pulled today. The dog cookies are so cute and Krista (the owner) is very rescue friendly! Atlanta Beagle Rescue will be with us and one dog from Briarcliff Foundation.

Today's list

Sorry about the bad photo on this. Every one is still cleaning this morning so there was no help on leash holding. But this guy is so neat I had to post him! He is a black GSD with the coolest ears ever! The kennel staff said he is super smart but has puppy moments. He is not due out until the 15Th but no adopters have looked at him yet.

This is Elise she had been burned rather badly but is still so happy! The vets say she is awesome to work on because she just loves any petting she can get. We are still treating her but if you have some room let me know and I will get you more info.

******rescued!

This is Clementine. A sweet APBT girl. The vet said she had a Non displaced fracture at proximal ulna at elbow joint on the left leg... that mean her elbow sucked but is better now. She is awesome! I love this girl!

Well Hello!

Hi everyone. I wanted a place where I could show you all our 11th hour animals for a last possible chance. I also wanted a spot to show you all the good things that happen here that make my job so happy at times! And a place for you guys to reach out to each other so we can tackle the issues together. I will post grants as I hear about them and programs I love too.

All comments must be Okayed before they will show. I want to work together and give the dogs and cats in our shelter the chance at a better life they all deserve.

Thanks for all you guys do.
All my Love
Melissa
