We need to build dog refuges...

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible ***Yes they kill many huskies too .. Pits,huskies, shepherds, Chihuahuas ...Most killed dogs!! FACT. Needs to change. Why? Pits obvious. Many idiots own them and can't control them. Need training as do the rest. High activity level and owners too lazy. They get as are pretty etc. But soon learn are over their heads! Not willing to put in the time so instead of rehomed and given a new life are dumped in the worst place could be! A kill pound. 1/10 pits make it out alive! FACT. Sheps and Huskies very active and need room to run or are destructive and bite. FACT! No bad dogs just untrained...and dumb people. Who runs things!? People do. Duh. **** 2 years old! Can see in a minute is a nice healthy beautiful dog too!! I had my pit,am staff until she was almost 16! Lucked out with me huh?!???? Many good years before she declined and then it was about salvaging what could...to have quality of life. This poor dog never got a chance!! Is sickening. Caught up in the sick meat farm trade here in the U.S.! Oh yes we are horrified by the Chinese in China and Yulan fest. There it is done right in your face!! Too much for our palette and sensitive sensibilities so we condemn them when right under our noses this barbaric insanity is happening in 48/50 states! We all Know that these shelters or rather death camps are not overcrowded to the point can't do anything but kill them when time up for next victim who stays 3 days,gets adopted,fostered or killed too,pup,kitties included as merciless, jaded who do the killing. I can speak out against China and do and things are slowly changing for the better there because do in numbers.but.. Many died last month and were tortured to death for 10 days of blood letting. Fact!! Shouldn't have ..but not enough to stop the trucks full of caged dogs in top of one another in agony. How long do you think you could stand watching that!?? It is a numbers game here and we try to do the most good can. In some you see pups and kitties. Of course if well we try to save them. Pregnant dogs cats are killed to prevent more unwanted dogs cats as the babies grow quickly and in 3 months are not saved this time if on chipping block again. Fact! You at home get to pick and choose and moan over this and that and then get up and watch tv. Can feel good you tried and did anything at all when so many do nothing. Busy living their lives,work,go home, cook,clean,food shop,do wash,care for family,see friends occasionally and do it again...May throw a bit to charity to feel good. Is it enough to make a damn bit of difference here really!!??!? No I don't think so. The reality is ..these animals need to be moved to new places. If have 20o dogs and can only house 100 then build a new place! You have the $. BS if say don't. Doesn't have to be state of the art just as long are structures. TX has plenty of land,cheap land can use. Bureaucracy is stopping the derailed train. The powers that be are blocking this simple idea that is so obvious. Could make TX and CA, that are the biggest killers of pit bulls in the US, no kill right now!!! Can you see it!?? They need to do this they need to do that...Who is they!!? They is you and me! Don't like it!!?? Change it. What I am trying to do. Wake and shake you up out of your slumber. Trust me I know what is going on in the pounds and how much these cats suffer.. who shouldn't be there, TNR them ...return to where got from cat colonies and feed water shelter monitor with drones for safety and done! They are killing 70% of the cats get daily!! 55 % of the dogs!! FACT. Do you think that is a good rate!??? No I don't think so. How about save 90% Save?!!??? Build no kill dog refuges. Network and join forces with the other throw aways of society,your prisoners...being done daily in some prisons..Solving the problem cost effectively. Train free and give to disabled and police depts. !! Needs to happen across the board. In NC prisoners clean the cages. Frees up cleaning crew so can help walk dogs. Friendlies can be out loose in day in corrals as can friendly cats. Abused can get one in one socialization so adopted. As is now...no time ..shelters are crazy busy over crowded places. Could do so much more good than is done because is hard to effect change within the system. Why I stay on the outskirts. Sharing these dogs and cats saves lives! Regardless of what anyone says...things are better. We used to kill many more animals before social media. Many more now have a chance. Is 50/50. Dont know who will see them here. Even when the shelters are closed eyes are on them 24)7. Is miraculous the power here!! Can you feel it!? When people get sick and tired of being sick and tired they do something! I am sick of this killing. Are you!??? If so,join me and share this post with the world here! You be the voice they need. Help me get land,can build structures cheaply,even with used pallets,vacant farms,in foreclosure use..I,me want to open a dog rescue. I know a woman in Costa Rica saved 2,000 dogs on site now! That needs to be temp. Can take them in temp but they need to be going out too so more can come in and be saved. Is not a permanent residence. Ex. The Asher House in Oregon. He lives there with them. Picks who will save at shelters. They stay there and he networks with rescues to get them adopted. What he provides is TIME. He is a dog broker. A very vital part of the machine. Two guys in SC doing the same thing! They have saved 13,000 dogs so far!! Incredible. Do you see how it works!?? We need more Sanctuaries not kill pounds!! RI has hotel for dogs. Best Friends in UT has sanctuary. Big Dog Ranch and Rescue in AL and FL getting alot of border dogs from TX dumped. N. Shore Animal League,NY another. Yukon sanctuary in RGV ..WA husky ranch. TX:Jenni's Ranch,Bushnell farm,sanctuary, Villa Lobos of Pit bulls and Parolees fame..in MS too. AL,open field dog training... Hello! Is anyone home!??? Can you see what WE as a community need to be doing!?? We need to be building places for these dogs NOW! We need to be getting them out!!! NOW!!! Do you, you hear me!!??!!!?? If we don't do it now,these dogs killed today will just keep on being dog food for your pets tomorrow!!* How many more Spots and Sally's must die before it is enough!!?? The ones running these places dont care. They are getting paid either way.*tainted,why recalled. Do you? Do you care!!? Have you had enough!??! If you do,share the sh*t out of this post!!! Obnoxious,maybe. Effective. You tell me! Are you comfortable!? Do I make you uncomfortable!! If I do then I did my job! My job is to save the poor suffering dog,cat in the cage;!!! I am not here to make you feel ok about this. Just to be clear. Crystal.

4 Pitbulls Found freezing in Uhaul truck in March...

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible owner is same man who left his pit bull puppies to die by train track in Arbor hill in January. How is it that such a person still has dogs to further abuse? he should bhave an anklet tracking his butt for the rest of his days. He should be made to do community service. Disgusting person and even more disgusting that he gets off and is allowed to inflict further suffering on animals. pits get a bad rep. many have no idea the type of idiots they attract and what they suffer as a breed as are incrediblyloyal even to morons who own them like this.

Dog Found Abandoned, Starving in Home

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible Unclear why woman owner would leave her loyal dog behind. seems to have gone away or moved. Dog found grossly underwent. Recovering at loal vet. Donations welcome as owner unavailable for comment. has not returned press's phone calls. Disgusting. Not sure why people like this have animals if don't want them. Seem to hate them even. She should be left in home with no food and water. How would she like it? They depend on us for survival. Gross and inexcusable. Comment if like.

Two Men Seen Throwing Dog Off Bridge...

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible Police retrieved it's lifeless body. Unsure whether the pit bull was dead already or not. Those with info on this horrible crime are asked to come forward asap. If I had my way, I'd make it very hard for people to get a dog. Back round checks would be required. Unauthorized reeding would be outlawed. This would surely cut down on the yearly slaughter of unwanted, abused, neglected animals in our shelters yearly in the world. What do you think?!??!

Amish puppy mill horror..

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible

CBS news anchor Steve Amaruzzo,may have spelt it wrong,brings this issue to light in recent report. The Amish consider these animals cattle and treat them awfully and when overcrowded shoot them. We have no jurisdiction in this area where they live. The dogs vocal chords are damaged intentionally so can't bark and are kept in rabbit hutches so can't even walk but crawl. Is awful and i think we need to pass laws to stop this. They still live in the US and should be made to abide by some laws to protect them. Speak out to your congressmen about this now by writing,calling! Thanks.

Many fooled into buying dogs from these places. The best way not to be fooled is to save a life and get dog from local shelter.

'Smokey' R.I.P.

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible

REceived some sa news today, that one of the stray cas we feed, had been hit and killed by a car up the road. We had planned to use a have a heart trap before winter and trap him and his 4 buddies who vist us faithfully from God knows where. I will miss him and was quite saddened by the news. In a way perhaps, his life is a lesson for all of us in two ways. One it sheds light on the plight of homeless animals everywhere. Secondly, atleast he was cried over upon his passing. Many people don't even get that! What do you think? God Bless you Smokey. See you on the RAinbow bridge my little prince. XXOO -Ann

He's on a PETA commercial. While I don't approve of PETA's radical ways, at least they try to protect animals. NIce to see Mickey doing his part.
