Subject: Hazlehurst, GA: OMG HEARTBREAKER! LOOK TERRIFIED SENIOR!!! DIES ANY DAY- Heartbroken, Confused and Terrified @ Shelter after Owner Died- GA. **HELP** HAZELHURST, GA

There are so many pleas like this.  But, please, take the time to read this one!!!!!.  This small Georgia shelter is asking for help  in saving this senior-- left to a sad and miserable fate due to his owner's death.  The shelter could easily have euthanized quickly and this beloved pet would be over and done.  But they didn't kill him-- they want  him to live!  

Read their email and you  will feel their desperate begging, their desire to save this old boy and their hope that someone--a person, a rescue-- will come forward to save him.  I find this amazing!!!

I'm offering a $300 sponsorship for Jeremiah + vetting (Lorraine Sakli), please share in hopes that Jeremiah's angel and his miracle are out there. I  want to be part of it as best I can.

He simply needs a comfortable place to sleep, some food, water and TLC for what time he has left.  Can anyone find it in their heart to help this old sweet soul?  Thank you.

Contact-- Danielle @ 912-240-2244 or Casidy @ 912-379-0806.

================Original Message==================

Jeremiah entered the shelter after being found at the side of his deceased owner. This loyal boy was removed from his home and the only life he knew, then placed in our small kill shelter. Sadly, he has been frightened, nervous and jumpy ever since. His world has been turned upside down and he is simply unable to cope with his new surroundings. In fact, with just a glance, there is no mistaking this poor soul is heartbroken, terrified, lost and confused. His desperation is so obvious that the shelter believes the kindest thing they can do for Jeremiah at this point... is to "let him go".

Yet through the depths of his sorrow and despair, it’s clear that all he wants in life is a calm, loving and comfy place to live out the last chapter of his life. (as you can see in one of his pictures) This email is his last chance at life… and our last ditch effort to grant him his heart’s desire. Though honestly, we all know that Jeremiah has very little hope, as he needs a very special home. One that will be quite hard to come by.  

Jeremiah was in rough condition upon his arrival. He is believed to be around 8-10 years old, maybe even older? His teeth are in bad shape, his vision is not good (right eye mainly), he has some fur missing and like so many pups down here... he has heartworms. With his vision being what it is, and his nerves being on edge, he can be a little nippy when frightened by an unsuspected touch. He doesn’t actually bite and seems to quickly realize that he’s not in immediate danger… but with this in mind, he would be better suited for a home without children. Sudden movements, along with constant or loud noises frighten Jeremiah greatly.  

Due to all that he has going against him, on top of a broken heart, we feel that Jeremiah in need of a Hospice Home. Thus, we are praying for someone that can open their heart and home to him, while providing him the love and comfort he longs for, in his last days. We know this is a Big request and that most people can’t handle that kind of commitment, but we have to try… for Jeremiah’s sake. He has no other options… no hope otherwise.  Now, we do not have the funding needed to take Jeremiah to the vet for an evaluation. So we have no way to know just how long Jeremiah is willing to hang in there… we just know that despite the odds, he truly deserves another chance to know love before the end. We’re all devastated to think that after all he’s endured thus far, his last days will be filled with the fear he’s currently living in while at the shelter. If you could just see him, you would understand. Danielle, at the shelter, stated that she thinks Jeremiah has been traumatized so badly that he has lost even more fur while at the shelter!

A side note about Jeremiah:

While at the shelter to take pictures of Jeremiah, it was interesting to watch him. He was very hesitant to even come out of his run and had to be physically guided in the right direction. Once out, he didn’t run for the door like all the other shelter babies do. No, he has no desire to go for a walk like all his shelter mates. He is so unsettled that he would much rather cling to the “safety” of his run. However, once out, he quickly left us in search of a quiet place to settle into. Which he found in our laundry room. We followed him in only to find him making himself right at home on a large pile of dirty bedding. That was all he seemed to want. Just some where comfy and a little less over whelming. We stood back and watched. (and seized the opportunity for a couple of pictures) For a moment he looked happier and even a little content. As we watched a happy boy emerge from under all that gloom and despair… we knew we had to do whatever we could to give Jeremiah a second chance at love and happiness. Though he is horribly disorientated with life at the shelter, when taken away from all the chaos and noise, it is very likely that Jeremiah would start to relax and “live” again! 

Please help us help Jeremiah! We’re begging and pleading for his life! He has very little time left!!! (He’s miserable and the shelter is filling up again!)

Our little shelter has seen its share of sad situations, but Jeremiah's story just leaves us in tears. Please, Please help! He has done Nothing wrong! He’s been loyal and devoted, yet now he is all alone, scared, and marked for death. He doesn’t deserve to go out like this, but without help, there is no other option.

Jeremiah is currently in the Hazlehurst Animal Shelter in Hazlehurst, Georgia. Our shelter is located about 3 ½ hours from Atlanta. For more info on Jeremiah, please don’t hesitate to call Danielle @ 912-240-2244. You can reach her by email at d.m143@att.net or even find her on Facebook under Danielle Britton. You can also call

Thank you all so very much!

Press Release: Tornado Disaster Recovery: Animal Welfare Response: "Hold and Label Displaced Pets for Owner Recovery"

Please forward to Animal Control Facility Managers, Local Government officials, FEMA operatives, and anyone else involved in the recovery operations that may have some bearing on this issue.

RT @seprr Tornado Disaster  Animal Rescuers READ & SHARE B4 adopting out recovered Pets to new owners http://bit.ly/jQpHKa #tornado

SE Pet Rescue Railroad, Atlanta GA April 28th, 20
Yesterday, the world witnessed an unprecedented meteorological event, characterized by some experts as Biblical in it's proportions and intensity.

There has been enormous loss of life. Once again, similar to Katrina, the Animal Rescue community is now faced with enormous amounts of displaced pets, separated from their families and homes, wounded, cold, hungry, scared, homeless, and now orphaned from beloved owners who may have been killed during the storm's passage.

When rescuing these pets, please tag/label these pets as "Held for Owner Recovery/Displaced by Tornado Disaster".

Please do not make them available for adoption by the general public until an adequate hold period has expired, perhaps one month at a minimum.

These are beloved members of families, not cast out strays that have been neglected. Treat these Pets like you would a lost child, and return it home.
Please extend Animal Control Hold Periods to accommodate the extended time lines necessary for recovery by the owners, given the dire and extreme circumstances.

When determining an appropriate Hold Period, consider:
-  1,000's of people are actually in the hospital, and will be there for an extended period.
-  1 Million+ are without power today. How long will it take to restore basic access to power, much less shelter, clothing, a hot meal, employment? Who knows?
-  These pets must be rescued now, lest they starve, are stolen, become food for coyotes, or go feral foraging for food.

I write this to ward off a repeat of what unfolded in the aftermath of Katrina, when good intentions of hard-working rescuers had an unintended effect. Many of the rescued pets were put into foster care. Instead of being returned to their original owners, they were adopted by new owners, sometimes 1000's of miles away. Certainly, many rescuers would argue about the reasons why the pets were left behind. The fact is that the rescue movement carte-blanch, saved these animals from their plight, placed them into foster care, and also overlooked the fact their returning owners would be seeking their animals afterwards. We have seen the legal fights and the broken hearts.

This time around, let's do whatever we can to return these pets to their owners. This time there can be no petty arguments and judgements about the intentions of the pet's owners when it takes about 30 seconds for a tornado to rip your world apart with practically no warning at all. That is why people RUN for shelter during tornadoes. There is usually very little advance notice, unless you just happened to be tuned into the right channel at the right time to hear Emergency Broadcast Beacon. Even today, people are easily out of touch long enough to be taken by complete surprise by a tornado, much less over 100 of them of such awesome speed and intensity. There can be no argue. WE MUST ASSUME these owners want their beloved pets returned and are actively worried and seeking them as I write this letter.

A solution is relatively straightforward:

1- When collecting these displaced pets, closely note where the pet was found and document the location where possible.

2- Tag these pets as Displaced and give them longer owner recovery periods, up to one month versus the normal 5 day Hold Period such as we have here in Georgia.

3- Where resources are scarce for housing the rescued pets, place them in foster care, but with the explicit understanding that these pets are Displaced Pet fostered for "Owner Recovery".

4- Please do not, under any circumstances take a Displaced Pet and put it up for adoption without a reasonable time frame for the owner to seek, find, and secure their pet. Do not Euthanize Displaced Pets. These are loved members of families, not cast out strays that have been neglected. Treat these Pets like you would a lost child, and return it home.

5- Do not transport the Displaced Pets out of the market, away from the area where the pet was found. If they do not remain in the animal control or humane shelter nearby where they were found, there is simply no chance for the Displaced Pet to return home.

SEPRR's network is available to ALL Rescuers needing a place to promote their notices, especially for Transport!

Prayers and Good Hunting during your recovery and rescue efforts.

Best wishes,

Promote the Petition! Save the Lives of Pets in Georgia!

As you may already know, the SE Pet Rescue Railroad  (google search: SEPRR)  has been hard at work gathering signatures, information, and ideas to promote a petition that proposes several changes and reforms to Georgia's current Georgia Animal Protection Act http://on.fb.me/fSBT8m

We need your help. Without your active participation, there will be no end in sight.  

1- Please review the petition. http://bit.ly/SaveGaPets   Even if you disagree with a few points, please sign it anyway, and then email us your suggested changes. This is not a final draft. It is NOT a law that is ready to be signed. It is a demonstration of the interest by the public in widespread, deep-reaching reform of the current system.

This is a work in progress. The right answers will come forward the more you participate! 

2- Please share the links below as status updates, text sms messages, or even on Twitter (be sure to RT@seprr posts!)

3- HARDCOPY! Hit the streets with it! 

Print out and take a copy of the petition to your rescue events such as fundraisers and adoption events!  http://bit.ly/SaveGaPets-hardcopy

Here is why:

Georgia, similar to many other states, kills up to 300,000 animals a year. We invest between $125,000,000 to $140,000,000 annually from property, state, and local taxes into the animal control operations in each county.  129 of 159 counties have animal control. The other 30 counties are not in compliance with Georgia laws requiring animal control services in each county. 

Even if an animal control adopts humane operational policies such as the No Kill Nation model, this still will not end the underlying source of the problem, overpopulation and poor animal husbandry.  While Animal Husbandry is an issue that depends upon education, and given that Georgia is 49th in Students Graduating from High School (Morgan Quitno Education State Rankings 2005-2006), we have a long road to improve the issues driven by lack of education and public awareness. It is a necessary component, but will not have any measurable results. Given the culture of the state's house and senate and budget conditions, any reform must have clear accountability and demonstrable returns on the taxpayer investment. 

A Transparent and Sustainable Business Plan to Save Georgia's Pets

A Three year period of Free Spay and Neuter offered Statewide would directly and immediately impact the underlying problem, and would generate tax savings within 2 years that double the annual investment required, and those savings would increase and remain in place permanently.

Consider that when a No Kill shelter is full, where does the next animal go? They are sent to the animal control down the street, the "kill shelter".  Atlanta Humane Society regularly turns away animals. Call and ask about their policy. Yet, 1.6 miles away, Fulton County Animal Control euthanizes as many as 3,000 animals a year at tax payer expense. 

To be fair, Fulton County, thanks to the Low Cost Spay Neuter programs made available by the efforts of the Barking Hound Village Foundation, have reduced it's kill rate to 1/3 the rate of neighboring Metro Atlanta shelters, and represent an enormous success even while killing as much as 3,000 a year. It's all relative. Fulton County's success is measured in real terms by a 60-70% reduction of Euthanasia over a 3 year period versus other regional animal control services. They are true "Rock Stars" when compared to many other animal control services. Yet, even their program can not succeed when neighboring areas do not have accessible programs for neutering and education. Their problems will always spillover into Fulton County, hence the numbers remain to be dealt with, tragically.

Our petition calls for several reforms, the most important is a statewide, three year long FREE Spay and neuter program. We also call for a statewide database to track the numbers so we can prove the sustainable success of the model. The database is already designed by another activist who serves in the current Dept of Ag administration as an advisor. It may be launched within 12 months!  Without the presence of a database, our spay/neuter program can not be launched, since there will be no way to measure success. Ultimately, the program will be doomed to failure since we will not be able to prove we made a difference saving animals or saved one penny of tax money. The database project is crucial, and must go forward. The good news, that project is relatively straightforward and is internal to the Dept of Agriculture. No lobbying required! 

Consolidate Regulation, Management and Enforcement

We call for a centralization of animal control services and enforcement, managed statewide. This will increase the quality of enforcement, reduce redundancies such as shelters that do not share capacity with one another, head count and staff can enjoy more structured learning and policy creation, and the public can access the entire shelter network via one portal, enabling better visibility of the entire market of adoptable animals. 

Spay and Neuter 

Free or inexpensive access to spay and neuter procedures will go a long distance to reducing the numbers of viable animals at risks in shelters. A variable license fee based upon spay/neuter status may provide additional incentive for compliance. Animals given up as a direct result of the fee could be given special status so they would not die in a shelter as a result of their owner's decision. Puppy Mills could be easily identified. Pure-bred pups would be much more valuable in a market where there is no longer a moral choice to adopt and rescue a shelter dog from Death Row versus buying a Pure Bred. The current situation is so bad that that if you did want a Pure Bred, you could visit Petfinder.com and in a matter of a few days find a large selection of practically any breed you may want, and all of them are either currently in rescue or still on Death Row. Imagine what this must do to the value of the puppies that are being intentionally bred for sale? Simple ECON101.

A statewide system for spay and neuter, in conjunction with a uniform animal shelter system, will  save animals, improves the conditions in shelters, and improves the chances of the animal being re-homed or safely returned to it's owners who may still be looking for their lost pet. We could extend hold periods indefinitely and an animal found in one location could be sheltered in another location, yet still be visible to the owner looking for their pet via the internet.  

Even if Constituents Don't Care about Animal Welfare...

There are those who do not care about animals saying "We should spend tax money on people first!". Taxpayers in Georgia ALREADY spend $140million annually  on this deplorable and tragic system The 3 year spay/neuter program alone  will save an enormous amounts of expenses. The estimates are that a  $25 million annual investment  in each of the first three years will generate an ongoing annual initial return on investment of $56 million by the 24th month. That amounts to $87 million is savings by the end of the 3rd year. 

How is this possible? 40% of the population will simply not be bred, so they will not be in the system to be managed and/or euthanized. 40% of $140m = $56m. Given that this will have a lasting effect, the savings will actually go up over a given period of time,so by the 4th or 5th year, we could enjoy a savings as high as $80-$90m annually. 

Then we could afford to pave roads, pay our police, teachers, and firefighters what they deserve, and perhaps even keep Hope Scholarships available for our kids.

Sharing Rescue Alerts in Email and Social Media

Please review this article and share it!

RT @seprr Sharing Rescue Alerts in Email & Social Media http://bit.ly/hTpFA0 #petrescue

 

Hopefully, this information will better empower Rescue  volunteers and promoters to increase the reach and effectiveness of your Rescue Alert Notices and  Fundraising Event announcements

File Sizes of Photos & Attachments:
A common mistake MOST rescuers make is sending files that are too large via email. The maximum TOTAL size of attachments for any email should not exceed 300k.  Once emails exceed 1mb they become problematic to share.

Ones with fliers often can not be seen at all, for a variety of reasons. Always include the basic meeting/event information in TEXT format in addition to the gorgeous fliers!

If people want to share it to help you, anyone using a smart phone or MS Outlook will be silently grumbling as they watch the Windows Blue Wheel of death grind away, or the download icon on their phones slowly tick away the minutes. If they were not on unlimited data, they would really not be happy campers.

At Ga Perimeter College, I teach my students how to fix image file sizes: one of the articles I recommend to them is here. The students have to put together PowerPoint presentations to present the results of their research in the course. Large, file-sized photos dramatically increase the size of the PowerPoint. Large PowerPoint files are difficult to share with others, in the same way large photos are difficult to share.

I also recommend to them SlideShare to post their PowerPoints online for easy sharing.

They also learn how to post PowerPoints into their LinkedIn profiles.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Moral of the Story: Tweets are NOT just for Twitter.

You can greatly increase your reach if you adopt the use social media channels. This article provides a thorough walk thru of how to take a basic email such as this, and to get it out to 10's of thousands of people in Social Media.

Here is a sample of one I put together today for one of our transport coordinators.

It has all the images (small file sizes), links, info, contacts, and a tweet that anyone can share anywhere, with anyone, in any social media channel, chat status, sms text, email, smoke signals, the back of a napkin.. Boom. Done and Done.

You can also take that Tweet and post it to relevant places, such as in the case of Floyd County Animal Control, the Darlington School and Berry College Alumni Fan Pages, Belk Stores of Rome, etc etc etc. Put it right in front of the public. Generate awareness. Share the tweets onto Fan Pages, Blog Comment fields, etc.
