Shelter Dogs' Plea

IN MEMORY OF RAIDER a shelter pet who never got his second chance..........

Tell Me Why . . .
does no one hold me when I cry?

They say we are a good-natured breed,
cheerful and easy to get along with,
that to be happy there is little we need

A place to have fun and not much more,
good food, a warm spot to sleep, and love
but I won't get that down on this floor.

I was brought here when I was fairly young –
a gawky, healthy pup and though it's been a while
I still recall starlight and the bright, warm sun

I remember running on grass and gazing at the sky
I had litter mates once and we would tumble and play
now there are dogs I can't see, but I hear them cry

When humans come to get me they are wearing white
sometimes they take me to an enclosed patio of cement
I can stretch my legs, but I'm alone. To prevent a fight?

Once, a human pulled me out of my cage and on her sleeve
I could smell the confusion and despair from one of my kind
It made me nervous, I whined and I squirmed, wanting to leave

She flinched, a person yelled at her, and they walked away
since that time, when they come for me, there is no smell
no scent of the others who live in this jail of gray

I'm afraid, and sad, wondering how long will I be here?

Someone should know that my soul is alive
My loving heart remains sweet
I haven't a name, just a number:.........

. . . there are no toys, no walks, no treats

Two humans have come to collect me
one is carrying a small plastic bag
The other, with a needle in hand, lifts me up
and lays me down on a cold metal slab
I'm given a shot, but this time it feels different –
it reaches inside of me, and goes deep

Shivering, I feel like I should cry
but all that comes out is a whimper
Why is there no one to hold me?

Tell me why . . .
the others and I must die?
**************************************************************************************************

I speak for all the voiceless here in Brevard County Florida. Please listen! The majority of all the animals turned into county shelters end up like this....and if they tell you otherwise.....DON"T FOR ANY REASON BELIEVE THEM.



We treat our murders and sex offenders better than this. What did these animals do to deserve this kind of inhumane treatment? The taking of any kind of life is murder! Your tax dollars are paying for this behavior. Please help us stop this. Be a responsible pet owner, spay and neuter your pets, adopt a shelter pet and save a life. When it comes time to vote for your town officials make sure you know where they stand regarding mass murder of innocent pets, after all you are paying for this! If our town or city elected officials can allow this to happen and make us pay for it, ask yourself what other inhumane behavior are they capable of doing and making us pay for? If we allow this to continue we are just as responsible as our elected officials.

An animal advocate fighting for the rights of the voiceless.

Shipping info:
How long will it take to get my order?

We usually ship on the next business day after your payment is received. If you pay by echeck or Google, your order will not be shipped until the day after the funds have cleared into our account
which normally takes 3 to 5 days to clear. We will notify you when payment clears. It will be shipped via USPS First Class Mail which is usually a 2 - 5 business day delivery time but it is not guaranteed. The USPS is usually pretty quick, but sometimes they do take their sweet time. 90% of our customers get their deliveries within 2 - 5 business days.

Caution;
Can I use K9-Advantix for dogs in a home with cats?
Yes, but extreme caution must be taken. The active ingredient Permethrin can be fatal to a cat if it is applied to or ingested by a cat. Due to their unique physiology, cats cannot metabolize permethrin. Caution must be taken to insure the cat(s) are not exposed to a dog treated with K9-Advantix. In a home where cats actively groom dogs, K9-Advantix is not recommended. Advantage is a much safer choice.

Hurricane Gustav help for Louisiana


Gustav Is On The Way
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Hurricane Gustav is rapidly approaching the U.S. and is expected to make landfall on the coast of Louisiana and Texas, Monday morning - even sooner than originally expected. Gustav is now rated a strong Category 3 hurricane, but expert opinions are mixed about whether the hurricane will be a Category 3 or Category 4 storm when it reaches the U.S. Here's some important information that we wanted you to know:
WE'RE PREPARED FOR GUSTAV
The Animal League has dispatched our emergency rescue team, with two of our 40-foot Mobile Rescue Units and multiple rescue teams scheduled to arrive in the Hurricane Zone before Gustav hits. We are working with our shelter partner, the Greater Birmingham Humane Society and many others, and will take a multi-pronged approach to our rescue efforts:
  • First, we are prepared to set-up a triage area on one our 40-foot Mobile Rescue Units to provide temporary shelter and emergency care to animals in need.
  • We plan to take animals from shelters in the Hurricane Zone to free up desperately needed space, so shelters and rescuers can accept even more animals displaced by Gustav (or either of the other two hurricanes that are on their way to the U.S.).
  • The Animal League will also remain in the Hurricane Zone, continue to monitor the situation and be ready to accept added displaced animals.
As with Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts, we expect to transport displaced animals out of the Hurricane Zone by mobile transport and airlift (as necessary).
ANIMAL LEAGUE'S ANIMAL RESCUE INFORMATION CENTER
We have launched the Animal League Rescue Information Center on our website so you, as a valued supporter, can use one source to access various types of information on Gustav and our rescue efforts, including:
A Rescuer's Blog - Notes from the Field: Our Senior Vice President of Operations and our mobile units will post information to our Rescue Information Center blog - and will report in on a very timely basis to keep you continuously updated on what's happening with rescue preparation and rescued animals in the Hurricane Zone. You can visit the blog here. News Feeds & News Alerts: We'll be linking you to top news and weather sources, so you can get the latest updates on Gustav and the other hurricanes on the way. If you are not already on the list and live in the Tri-state area, please update your subscription to receive local Adoption and Rescue Alerts from us too.
THREE YEARS OF ON-GOING SUPPORT SINCE KATRINA
We wanted you to also know that North Shore Animal League America rescued over 1,600 cats and dogs within the days and weeks following Hurricane Katrina and Rita, via 44 ground transports and two airlifts. Over the past 3 years, our presence in the region continues to be felt through the on-going rescue of animals in the Louisiana Parishes. The Animal League has been accepting homeless animals from the region on virtually a monthly basis and maintains a partnership relationship with Companion Animal Network and the Katrina Lifeline program.
As the result of last week's puppy mill rescue in West Virginia and the dispatching of our emergency rescue team for Gustav, significant costs are being incurred and we are depending so much on the generosity of supporters such as you. Please make a generous contribution today so that the Animal League can continue our mission to rescue as many displaced animals as possible.
Yours truly,

J. John Stevenson
President, North Shore Animal League America
P.S. Please spread the word to your family and friends. Knowledge is power, and we want the power to save as many lives as possible

New Orleans is being evacuated as we speak, the people are being put on buses and trains for all those who have no menas of getting out otherwise.
The animals are also being shipped out too, IF anyone can help a resident by allowing them to camp out on your lawn, or in a barn, please let me know.
Anyone form northern parts of Ala, La, Georgia, or southern states of Tenn, Indianna, willing to allow anyone shelter from the storm, let me know.
I have rescues who need help, they can get out but no where to go.

Mass killings to start in Brevard Melbourne SACC Shelter today.....PLEASE HELP

I received this email this morning....please help!!

Because of the State of Emergency declared by both the State of Florida and the federal government on behalf of the State of Florida, new laws put into place since Hurricane Katrina dictate that all animals taken in by government-operated shelters be held for 90 days to giver owners time to find and claim their pets.



This means that the animals that are there now and are available for adoption are being pulled TODAY to be euthanized to make room for all the animals they will have to hold for 90 days.



There is a solution to this that does not require mass euthanization ... YOUR BREVARD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CAN CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY MEETING TO FORCE OUR BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TO FIND IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY HOUSING TO BE RENTED TO HOLD THE NEW ANIMALS COMING IN NOW SO PEOPLE CAN FIND AND RECLAIM THEIR ANIMALS.



As usual, nobody in our County government seems to be able to think outside the box to do something creative to save lives. CALL YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CRAIG ENGLESON OF BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW AND ASK THEM TO FIND TEMPORARY SHELTERS TO HOLD THE ANIMALS FOR 90 DAYS SO THOSE THAT ARE AT THE SHELTER NOW DO NOT HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED !!!!!!!!!
