HELP STOP ANIMAL FUNDRAISING SCAMS!  

Whenever you make a donation to help animals, DONATE to a LOCAL SHELTER instead. That way, you know your donation will actually go to helping animals.

When asked if he envisioned a future without pets, "I don't want to see another dog or cat born." Wayne Pacelle, the vegan President of the Humane Society of the United States, quoted in Bloodied: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Caressed, 1993, p. 266

"We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. . . .One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding." Wayne Pacelle, the vegan President of Humane Society of the US, formerly of Friends of Animals and Fund for Animals, Animal People, May, 1993

While we may not have similar quotes for the ASPCA at present, they are working hand in hand to promote the same agenda as the HSUS.  They are just sneakier about it.

Oreo-Rex needs your help! Donations and Prayers

Please crosspost!! 

Use this link to find ways you can help Rex beat this! Lab #petrescue Pup fostered by @angelsrescue Battles PARVO at @thevillagevets PLZ donate to save REX! http://j.mp/saveREX #decatur #ga

I am fostering a beautiful 3 month old lab mix pup who already fetches, has a wonderful disposition, loves kids, and gets along with any other creature he meets.


He went down with Parvo Sat evening. He went into the ICU Sunday AM at Village Vet's in Decatur. The docs at Village Vets have been provided very good updates on his condition. He was great until this afternoon, fighting the virus, and keeping a great plucky attitude towards the fight he is waging.  

30 minutes ago, Dr. Alford @thevillagevets, called with an negative update report.  He is regressing. 

PCB =35; White Blood Cell is .49 (POINT 49 VERY LOW)   Some vomiting. Diarrhea PRAY FOR HIM.   BAD news folks. 

He is in reasonably good spirits. The vets say this is a a very good sign, but his labs, the vomit, and diarrhea speak to the continued severity of his gaurded condition.

They are working up an estimate for doing Baytril, Plasma transfusion, anti-Diarrheal, IV Fluids, Potassium, anti-vomit.  These will give him the arrows in his quiver to wage this fight. 

To Offset the extreme expense, please consider donating to the rescue group who isunderwriting this effort to save him, Angels Rescue- http://angelsrescue.org/#donate and label as "Rex-Oreo-Parvo" during Checkout.

Please share his Facebook  Photo Albums by linking here: http://j.mp/FB-REX

Thanks for all you do!

South GA Pet Rescue NEEDS YOUR HELP!

We have posted this all over the place:

CODERED #Hoboken #Ga  #petrescue CLOSED: WILL EUTHANIZE ALL PETS TUE9am 10/25 9am http://j.mp/pgy3la via @seprr


You could help these rescuers out by also Tweeting and Texting it. 

I am sure legions of other well-meaning people have reach this point of burn-out. I know I have. Seeing the death of so many warm and loving furryfriends is a recipe for mental disorders, but if you are like me, the fight must continue. If we only save 10 out of 100,000, think how much it counted for just those 10. And if I save 10, then perhaps someone else will follow the lead, and rescue 10, or perhaps become the person to rescue all 100,000 by generating policies that end the need for this archaic, barbaric, deplorable system of managing animal populations. Read this if you want an idea of how to do just that:

Please Sign & Share this Petition http://j.mp/3YFSNGA  



We hope that:


 1- we can rescue the pets by generating widespread awareness of the problem
 2- Perhaps these people will partner with a larger group, and effectively become fosters for a group that does have a good infrastructure in place for sustainable operations.. like a fundraising business plan, social media strategy, volunteer organizational frmework.. etc


Getting the word out for an "urgent rescue notice" is the 1st job for any rescuer. 


So.. not using twitter for rescue is like driving a brand new sports car with the emergency brake on. 


Yet, Twitter is EZ to Learn &  Use!

Tweets can be texted via SMS.. since they are text & under 140 characters! Lovely!
