URGENT! Dahlonega GA Bruiser & Roscoe (3 MO Lab siblings) must be out by May 1 or PTS

 

 (45 min North of Atlanta)  

Bruiser and Roscoe are the bubbahs of the puppy room.  Trouble is they have been at the LUKPKIN COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER
over their allowed time.  They have to be outta there by Wednesday May 1 or they will be PTS.

The siblings are three month old Lab puppies.  They are all lab, have never met a stranger and are rarin' to go.
There are too many black dogs in our area since there is a hex on black so we need to work hard on saving these kids!

The adoption fee is $90 and we may be able to find donors for that.

PLEASE let me hear from you with good news.

Sample email:  Vote No on HB 409

 

Hi Rep. ____________

Sample Greeting I don’t know if you remember me, but I came out and tried to help on your campaign when you first ran for office.  I had connected with your Mom, --------. Hope your parents and you are well.

Like most folks, I know that you are a compassionate person who loves animals.  Did you know an estimated 300,000 pets are killed in GA shelters every year because people do not spay and neuter their animals?  Georgia Taxpayers already spend at the County Level an estimated statewide aggregate cost of $100 million a year running animal control and euthanizing 1000's of animals, 85% are estimated to be adoptable. The numbers are cited in the proposal to solve this problem, once and for all, by the SEPRR 3 Year Free Spay Neuter Program, details can be viewed here. 

 Did you know that animal controls across our state want to put an end to this senseless waste thru low cost and free spay neuter?  While Georgia's current practices are already deemed a wasteful practice, this bill comes along and will only make the problem explode! 

Ask your county officials how much they budget for animal control every year. Then ask them how many animals that are otherwise adoptable must be killed, and how few are ever rescued. Then ask them how much it would cost to run a county wide spay neuter program, and how much money it would save over the near and long term. I am all about saving tax payers money, and when it can save lives too, especially in a humane manner, then so much the better. 

Rescues and county/city animal controls all over the state are combating this senseless killing of our beautiful, healthy homeless pets.  Coincidently, perhaps even fortuitously, tomorrow at 3 PM there will be a press conference addressing this very crisis at which Ag Commissioner Gary Black will speak. You are invited.(View Press Conference Details Here)

At 1 PM there will be a hearing on HB 409 which will set GA back twenty years if passed. It puts great restrictions on local counties and cities to enact their own animal welfare laws from regulating spay and neuter to tethering.  I have heard from the GA Animal Control Association, individual Animal Control Directors, prosecutors, solicitors and rescues working to reduce the killing of 300,000 GA pets. 

All are opposed to HB 409. I’m afraid that special interest groups may be trying to affect GA law for their own profit and other endeavors.  There will be a fact sheet coming out on this, but this bill was just introduced and we have had short notice to oppose it. 

I appeal to your decency as a humane person to vote NO on this bill should it come up for a vote.  Thank you. 

I will be at the Capitol tomorrow and will look for you.

Yours,

NAME

Hurricane Sandy Pet Rescue/Disaster Recovery:

SE Pet Rescue Railroad (@seprr)  has  drafted this guide to share with FEMA/Govt officials during the onset of Tornados regarding how to organize the rescue, recovery, and return of displaced pets during emergencies. 

The very same SOP will work for the Hurricane Sandy recovery mission, BUT.. we need your help in sharing this with local and state officials in the affected areas. (Tornado paths are very clear and reasonably limited in scope, therefore reaching relevant officials is very straightforward. In the context of a widespread emergency covering 5-7 states and at least 3 countries, we simply do not have the staff /funding to disseminate the information.)

Please use this tweet as a basis to help share. It can be sent as a text or posted anywhere! Thanks!!
