A plea to the community

We post positive news as much as we can.  We love having good news to share.  We appreciate when you rejoice in our good news with us.  So, it's only fair that we share our bad news with you, too.  Just as every adoption is a victory, every euthanization is a defeat.

The situation at the pound has become desperate.  Forty-five dogs were taken in last week.  Twenty newcomers arrived the week before that.  All cats were new this weekend, and it isn't because the ones who were there before were adopted.  Yesterday seven perfectly good dogs were killed because of the overcrowding.

Here's what you can do to help us:

We have rescues waiting to adopt some of our animals.  Our foster homes are at or above capacity.  The animals usually cannot be transported until they have been vetted and quarantined.  We NEED foster homes!

There are other ways to help us, but this is pressing.  As long as there is overcrowding, there will be more euthanizations.  We only have a limited amount of space.  It's the stark reality of the situation.  It won't change until people stop letting their dogs and cats breed, which we understand will take time, and that is another blog entry.  In the meantime, a very small number of volunteers are trying to alleviate the suffering.  Again, we have a limited amount of space.  The dogs and cats need more.

Please help.  Thanks.
