BE A HERO - ADOPT A RESCUE/SHELTER PET.

__._,_.___

Share, Rescue, Adopt, Sponsor...begging for help in Newnan, GA.

We have fewer dogs in the shelter, (almost 50 out since the beginning of October) and yet have been told that there is no room and these dogs must go.  I cannot even count how many lists we have gotten in the last 4 months.  We just got the last 3 from the last list out on Friday, the 19th, and received another list of 10 dogs that night!

Kudzu, April, and Diedra are only 3 from that list, but they are 3 of my favorites in the entire shelter.  

Kudzu is already neutered and is hw negative, and only weighs 30 pounds!...his legs are bowed from malnutrition...a good diet should correct the problem, but that won't be possible in a shelter environment.  This wonderful dog will not live past Friday, if he cannot find a home or rescue.

Jill is so incredibly sweet and loving...not one thing wrong with her, except she has no home.  She is now scheduled to die on Friday.  She has sponsorship, so now let's get her a home...before it's too late!

And Diedra...really just a puppy, and not even a year old.  She is so loving and playful, one of my all time favorites.  Full of sweet kisses, this girl loves everyone.  So many people have shown interest in her, but she still waits at the shelter.  Her wait will end this Friday...one way or another.  Please, do not let her die...she deserves a loving home!

We will help with pull, vetting, and transport...please contact me NOW!

3 Dog Night in Georgia "Party Animals"

Sonny, Rover, and Sugar want nothing but a chance to shower someone with love!  They have been waiting and waiting...since May...but now are scheduled to die in less than 48 hours.  These poor pups are really just babies, who have been in a shelter way too long...always overlooked...and yet they keep hoping.  

Surely there is someone who recognizes that their lives have value.  I am begging for help for them...we have to be their voice.  Although we have helped get 40 dogs out of the shelter since October 1, they keep coming in...every single day, and the shelter continues to be overcrowded!  

We are volunteers who visit these dogs and love them...please help us help them to live...don't let their lives end with a needle, alone and unwanted.

We can help with pull, boarding, vetting, and transport (we will even help with heartworm treatment for Sugar)...call me NOW and save just one...you will never regret it!

The above post was delivered to Gargoyles Animal Rescue via email and the post was so well done it was a snap to copy and paste to share on Twitter and Google+ (Sheila) 

One of the sweetest mares...

December of 2014 I moved back to Midway, Georgia and met some cool horse friends out at the barn where my girlfriend keeps her horse - Tracy. I fell in love with a black TWH named Diamond and met the sweetest mare I've ever met, close second place is my beloved Lady that belonged to my grandpa. This mare here was named Skittles when she came to the barn and was in a name change and was being called Lena when I met her, so that is what I know her by and then Sea Lena when I toyed with the idea of seeing if she wanted to go to Virginia - before I learned that her momma was in love with her.

All of a sudden my girlfriend informed me she was heading to the barn that Lena was experiencing colic. I declined going - I'm without some of my meds right now and not able to exert myself (can't bring it back). When she came home she declared the worst... and even more horrific is the owners were going to shoot her with a gun to save money from having the vet to come back out there and euthanize her. Oh my god, are you kidding me, your going to make that sweet mare go through that?! I can't throw any stones in their direction, I too am guilty of doing the same thing with my beloved Bonnie Sue, my Doberman guardian from my early 20's.

This poor mare was suffering a gnat bite dermatitis much like Beltania

Even as miserable as she had to be - she never not once acted out or was bitter.

Lena knows of no pain now.

The sweetest mare I've ever known. (Sheila)

Spring 2015 Lena, the sweetest mare. R.I.P.

Lena & Diamond Spring 2015

We went out to the barn this morning - Diamond was in pain with his front feet and Chuck thought he might be foundering. Not good! So we get there and get to work, cleaning out his hoof on his left front hoof, he wasn't sore, he was stinky but Lisa ensured me that was the normal (OMGdds), and not thrush, it has been a while since I messed with hooves and I just knew it smelled rotten to me.

Lisa used cold water and hosed him for apx 20 minutes and reduced the inflammation in the crook of his pastern hock. She thought it was from the horrible ground between the barn and water trough. Horrible black water mud mixture that has probably claimed a couple of Tracy's shoes and no doubt not helping the horses out any. She buted him a couple of g's and we let him loose in front of the barn area to graze on the grass, when the bute had set in we opened the gate and let him back into the pasture, he walked with a very sore limp to the hay bale and started eating. When he stepped again around the bale after a few minutes there was no real sign of pain in his walk so the bute had taken effect - he was in no pain right now and going to get his 'eat' on.

I didn't try to read the energy associated with his hoof, I would of rather a vet come and look, he could of pulled a ligament, or muscle, or tendon and he really needed a professional, but he also needed a dry pasture and fed two times a day, and told how gorgeous he is about a thousand times a day. I hate being like that and not trying to fix him, but I fear that I would be spending a good amount of energy and his condition would only improve for the smallest amounts of time.
