 Animal advocacy group
trying to locate homes for rescued pets |
| - Please helps us find them loving homes.
Dozens of animals set for euthanasia can be rescued. Previous visits to the
Gaston County Animal Shelter one by one, as animal lovers from all over North
Carolina clapped and fussed over them. A parade of
dogs and cats, all of them just escaped either the gas chamber or a lethal injection.
We will place for adoption each of these dogs.
Some are listed on this page and the rest are listed at Help
Save One. So if you are interested in fostering or adopting PLEASE contact
us 704-333-6009 or by e-mail. Seven dogs and three cats were pulled from the Gaston County Animal Shelter,
on the day they were scheduled to die.
The mass adoption
came courtesy of Help Save One, a Rhode Island animal rescue group that regularly
pulls unwanted pets from Gaston and other shelters before routing them to new
homes. But the supporters who attended Friday’s event did so to speak out
against the use of carbon monoxide gas in animal euthanasia, as well as to raise
awareness about irresponsible pet owners. Help Save One adopted 22 dogs and cats
from the animal shelters in Gaston and Lincoln counties. The mixed breeds
that were pulled all bounded with energy as they were coaxed into crates for transportation
elsewhere. Chuck Vachris, owner of Discount Pets in Mount Holly and Grateful Pets
in Charlotte, has offered to groom and temporarily board each animal at discounted
prices.

am ready for a home as I am neutered and vaccinated! |

Cowboy is
a 10-12 week old puppy who was dumped at a high volume gassing shelter in NC Animal
Control over the weekend.
Someone must have cared at least a bit for him, because he was wearing a collar,
and wiggles and wags with any attention. But he was not fed properly, and a nutritional
deficiency caused his front legs to bow-in, so he now walks on his "knuckles"
rather than on his feet. He will need a special diet and lots of vet care to have
a chance of leading a normal life.

Male - I
know my name now....My friends Phyllis & Kelli named me Lucky Panda and they
think I can still have a good life. I have a very serious heart condition. Whoever
adopts me has to be willing to know that they may not have me long. I am having
blood work and x-rays done but my heart murmur is a grade level 5 out of 6. |
