PLEASE HELP- We have some URGENT dogs at the Mobile County shelter- they have been in the shelter over 30 days. They also have a number of pitbulls but as of now I only have a picture of this mama dog. Mobile does not allow pitties to be adopted out but they do allow rescues to pull and there is no fee on any of these dogs! Mama, the pit, is very friendly and  she looks much better than the photo looks. The quote from the shelter worker-" She must be out of here soon as I am being questioned by Officer Miranda as to her breed,pit mix and here time here. Sweet mama deserves a chance at a happy life. She is VERY energetic. You know, the kind that would play volley ball and run the beaches all day!" Can somebody help this mama pittie out?
The other death row dogs are-
 The male cocker, Bob, is about 2 years old. The catahoula is Cathy Sue, about 1 year. "Deer dog" is a 4 m.o. female yellow lab mix. Junior is a 3 mo. old collie mix. Sassy is a 1 y.o female rottie mix. Sheba is a 3 y.o female rat terrier. Trixie is a 3 year old female lab mix. Zorro is a 7 mo. old chihuahua mix. All these dogs have good temperaments and have had shots/worming. they have all overstayed their welcome and need rescue ASAP- there is no time set but when new dogs come in the ones that have been there longest are the first to go and these are them, so please help however you can! They WILL HOLD for rescues if you call.

The following animals are in the Greenville, South Carolina Animal Shelter…Can you help them?
If you cannot see the pictures, please, go to:
www.Noahs-Arks.net and click on the Greenville tab.
Some things you should know when working with us:
1.)     Not all animals listed on this email are available TODAY!  Please look at the “available date” under each animal picture to see when they can leave the shelter. 
2.)    When you reply to confirm dogs, please include in your email what rescue you work with.
3.)    Dogs are not heartworm tested until a rescue confirms them (unless otherwise noted).  If you CANNOT take a HW+ animal, please mention it when you confirm!
4.)    We CANNOT guarantee the health of an animal.  We focus on preventative health and do not have the resources to have every animal vet checked prior to placement.
5.)    Pull fees MUST be paid at the time of confirming the animal, and at the absolute latest, when the animal is picked up from our shelter.  We no longer invoice- sorry!
TRANSPORT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOUR AREA---JUST ASK US!!
Please be patient with us.  We intake 20,000 animals/year and have only 2 staff dedicated to the rescue placement process.  We sift through 100+ emails/day.  We will respond to your inquiry, but it may be a brief exchange and may not be immediate.  Thank you for understanding!

Ga. House bans gas chambers to euthanize pets



Now, onward for the Senate's vote to ban Gas Chambers and we will be done! 

Ga. House bans gas chambers to euthanize pets

Ga House bans gas chambers for pet euthanization http://bit.ly/aAYeLs Now for the Senate's vote! 


Associated Press

Last updated 11:12 PM
ATLANTA  - The House approved a bill that would outlaw the use of gas chambers to euthanize pets at animal shelters in Georgia.
Under the bill - approved 115-46 on Tuesday - animals must be put to sleep through lethal injection.


The bill's sponsor, state Rep. Tom Knox, called gas chambers, which use carbon monoxide to euthanize pets, "pretty gory" and described how animals gasp for air as they die. The Republican from Cumming said lethal injection is more humane.


State Rep. Gene Maddox, a veterinarian from Cairo, argued against the bill saying for wild or feral animals who are not used to being handled by humans, carbon monoxide chambers are the most humane way to put an animal down.


Knox said only 10 or 11 counties still permit the use of gas chambers.

GA HB788 Anti-gassing bill update: Phone numbers for ALL the Reps of the counties that still use gas.

Please visit our Georgia Voters for Animal Welfare (GVAW) website (www.gvaw.org) for the latest update on HB 788, a bill to ban the remaining 11 gas chambers used to kill animals in Georgia “shelters”.  Our Webmaster, Valerie Hayes, and our GVAW Legislative Liaison, Holly Cohen, have done a spectacular job of keeping HB 788 front and center.  THANK YOU!! 

It is most important that Georgia voters living in the 11 counties and/or cities where gas chambers still operate CALLTHEIR REPRESENTATIVES NOW!!  Complete contact information for these reps is in the attached document and I am embedding the same information in the body of this message below.  (Also, detailed instructions of what to say are easily found on our website.)  If you live in one of these 11 places where animals are being gassed to death, or know someone who does, it is imperative that legislators representing the 11 cities and counties hear from a substantial number of voters in their districts!

The gas chamber ban effort has made remarkable strides during this legislative session – our third try – but the battle is far from over!  HB 788 must be voted on by the full House -- hopefully this coming Tuesday -- and receive a majority of “YES” votes in order to meet the Crossover Day deadline.  THEN, the entire process has to be repeated in the Senate and be signed by Governor Perdue in order for it to become law! 

Only the voters of Georgia can make this happen – YOU, me, our family members, friends and co-workers!  Please, use your voice and your vote to spare Georgia’s homeless animals on death row a horrific, prolonged death!
