Transport Request Columbia SC->Lebanon CT 12/19-20 (2Aussies)

Transport Request Columbia SC->Lebanon CT 12/19-20 (2Aussies)


 NEED 1 LEG FOR SAT DEC 19
Rocky MountNC to EmporiaVA 
 2:10 PM to 3:10 PM

 
Two 15-mo-old Aussie pups, one a beautiful black tri and one a gorgeous blue merle, were left outside when their owner was evicted from their property, something to do with a divorce. Animal Control picked the dogs up, the owner signed them over. They were supposed to go north toa rescue with  waiting homes. Then, the black tri was discovered to be heartworm positive and needed to stay in SC til treatment is completed. Then she got sick and tested positive for parvo...making it unsafe for her sister to go north until it was certain that she was not infected, too.

First one, and then two Aussie red-heads are going to take their place. Daisy and Holly will  get their chance to go north first. Both dogs are spayed, UTD on shots and will travel with slip collar, leash and health certificate.
 
I know it is close to Christmas, but wouldn’t driving a leg be a wonderful gift to these pups?
 
Thanks.

Just A Dog

”Just A Dog” author unknown

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog.

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. * "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand."

Animal Welfare Reform Bill

Dear Rescuers,

Many of are well of the deplorable of state of Animal Welfare here in Georgia.

Between 600,000-700,000 animals each year are euthanized in Georgia. Neighboring states have similar issues.

Everyone in rescue knows the score. There is no end in sight unless we enact legislation to address the problem of animal over-population. Neutering, education, and better overall management of the processes with animal control state wide will transform the problem.

Potentially, this proposal will reduce Ga's endangered pet population by 70%.

Please visit the links below to familiarize yourself with the current Animal Welfare law in Georgia, some recent research from Georgia Voters for Animal Welfare, and SEPRR's proposed Animal Welfare Reform Bill.

At this point, SEPRR has access to certain lawmakers willing to sponsor related legislation, but these lawmakers want demonstrable support and input from stakeholders affected by this proposal. This means rescuers everywhere, not just in Georgia since we all share a similar mission.

Please share your comments, your contacts, and your energy to make this even better! If you want to help get the word out, please use this "tweet": "RT @sepetrescue PLS Comment: Georgia Animal Welfare Reform Draft Proposal http://bit.ly/GA-AnimalWelfare"
