 Shadow - German Shepherd, 18 months approx.Shadow is a male silver German Shepherd. He is about 1½ years old, weighs 40lbs, and has a fantastic disposition with kids and adults. Click on the picture to see for more photo's. I would recommend him for a family with older and smaller children. He does well with small dogs but does not like dogs his size or larger (I guess he see them as a threat). He does not do well with cats. He is an active dog, though not hyper, and will need regular walks and a fenced yard to play in. Shadow travels well - he loves to ride and is always happy to go with you. He loves attention and will sit beside you as long as you want to pet him. He likes being near people in general. If you think you are the person(s) that could give Shadow a home please e-mail bland@dogrescues.info Area: Bland County, Southwest VA.  Asia - Pomeranian, female, 2 years approx, small size.Asia is a black Pomeranian, 2 years old and weighs 8 lbs. She is up-to-date with her vaccinations. She is housetrained and goes to the door when she needs to go out. Click on the picture to see for more photo's. Asia has a wonderful personality and is such a joy to be around. She loves to sit in your lap or beside you. When she arrived with us she hid under the bed for a week and came out at night to eat and potty on her pee pad. Once she became cofident that no-one would hurt her she was all out loving, funny, miss personality. She loves to ride and walks well on a leash. She loves everyone. She is good with other dogs large and small. Her best friend is Bandit the Pekingese who is also up for adoption. Asia is great with children. Over all, a well rounded baby girl. She does love paper, it is her favorite toy. Asia is medium active so she would need daily walks. If you think you are the person(s) who could offer Asia a family please e-mail bland@dogrescues.info. Area: Bland County, Southwest VA.  Prissy - Shih Tzu, neutered female, 2½-3 years approx, small size.Prissy weighs about 12 lbs, has a good disposition, is good with children and cats and great with other dogs. Click on the picture to see for more photo's. She has been trained to use pee pads. She has been spayed and is up-to-date with her vaccinations. Prissy was attacked by another dog when she was 8 weeks old and as a result she is blind in one eye. She has what they call floating hip joint. The vet stated she is not in pain and would later get arthuritis but he did not see a need for surgery. She walks and plays just fine but cannot walk for long periods. She is a home body but does like to take trips in the car. She would perfect for an older couple who are moderate active. She loves sitting on your lap and just loving on her. Prissy cannot get enough attention. Once I give her hugs and kisses she will sit beside me. She greets you by rubbing her face all over yours and then waits for you to give her kisses. She does not know how to give them back. She came from a family that had several small dogs and I think she did not get the human contact she really wanted. If you think you are the ones to give Prissy a forever home please e-mail bland@dogrescues.info Area: Bland County, Southwest VA. $6 To Rescue a Dog - Upper Sandusky, OH

Bailey is a neutered male Cocker Spaniel, 5 years old approx, medium size.
Click on the picture for a more photo's.
Bailey will be 5 years old in December. He has a beautiful wavy coat with little splashes of white and tan.
A family member developed allergies, and although they tried to remedy the situation, Bailey needs
to find a new home. We are told he is good with children of all ages, other dogs and cats. He is
crate trained, house trained, good on a leash and knows basic commands. He does not like the
vacuum cleaner and has a little bit of separation anxiety, which can be worked on. He is up-to-date
with routine shots and is house trained. Bailey would love the companionship of someone who will
play with him. Bailey's very most favorite thing to do is play with bubbles, as you can see.
Bailey is staying with his family until we find him the perfect home. If you would like to meet
Bailey, please contact us for an application. After we have review it, we can call to set up an
appointment to meet with Bailey.
Please contact the
Colorado Cocker Spaniel Rescue.

completion of our application form, phone interview, reference checks and a home visit.

January 8th 2012 Nikki Needs a Home Roanoke Rapids, NC 
NIKKI - Beagle/Hound Mix?, female, 6 years approx, medium size.
Click on the photo for more pictures.
Nikki looks like a mix between a Walker Hound and a Beagle. She is a very loving dog, and loves to play!
She gets along with all the other dogs, big and small. She has been around kids as young as 4 years and
been wonderful with them. Nikki is house trained, has been successfully treated for heartworm and is up
to date with all of her vaccines. Nikki is a very cool dog and would make a great addition to someones family.
Her current owner wrote: One day last July, I saw a man was sitting in his motorized scooter with this
adorable dog. The dog was grinning ear to ear, wagging her tail vigorously, and pulling her owner to me.
The owner had a sad look on his face and began to explain, "I have to take her to the Humane Society
because where I stay will not accept her anymore". The man was living in government subsidized housing.
After the dog licked my face and rolled over for me to rub her belly, I could not stand to see this dog
go to the pound and agreed to try to place her. Even though I have two special needs dogs of my own
that take up much of my free time and finances, I thought I would try keeping Nikki myself. My three
legged dog Hoppy loves her, but unfortunately Kati has decided she does not want another female stealing her attention.

It is not a no-kill shelter and there are many pets in danger of being destroyed if they cannot find a home or a place at a rescue. Please click here to see the list of dogs needing rescue Shelby County Animal Shelter are an open admissions animal shelter for Shelby County. We are governed by the Shelby County Fiscal Court and operated by Shelby County tax dollars. We accept all unwanted and stray animals in our county. We also perfom all neglect and abuse investigations for Shelby County. The animals at our shelter are random source. We try hard to ensure the animals adopted from our shelter are healthy and free of undesirable temperaments. We aggressively pursue solid adoptions and work with rescue groups, both purebred groups and generic. We do not charge a pull fee for reputable rescue groups. Receiving rescues are responsible for all vetting and transport of the animal(s) being pulled. We are currently working with several non-profit groups to ensure the animals adopted are spayed/neutered before adoption. If the animals are not altered before adoption, alteration must be performed within 30 days of adoption. We are working towards making Shelby County a no-kill county. In order to achieve this goal, Shelby County Humane Society is working with Shelby County Animal Shelter. The first step to achieving our no-kill goal is to have all animals at Shelby County Animal Shelter vetted and spayed/neutered. By doing this, the chances of adoptions and rescues increase significantly. This also will prevent accidental or unwanted litters of animals in the future. Please help Shelby County become a no-kill county! Please consider donating/sponsoring an animal at Shelby County Animal Shelter. Click here to contribute to this worthy cause! Anyone interested in adopting or rescuing an animal from our shelter should contact the shelter either by phone at 502-633-0009, e-mail us at animal.adopt@shelbycountykentucky.com or come to the shelter in person. We do have an adoption process including an application. We make every effort ensure a direct adoption is a good placement. We work with the potential adopter to find the right pet for their home. With each paid dog or puppy adoption, a voucher for $10 towards a rabies vaccination is provided. On unaltered dogs, a voucher for $30 towards spay/neuter is provided to help defray the cost to the adopter. The adoption cost for a dog is $65. Kittens and cats are $40 which includes the $30 spay/neuter voucher and $10 for the rabies voucher. The surgeries are not performed here. These vouchers may be used at any vet or low cost clinic. The adopter pays the difference. Thank you. James Collins, A.C.O.

As part of progressive changes happening at the shelter, veterinary care is now provided by a dedicated and full-time veterinarian. Dr. Shelly Liles evaluates all animals available for adoption.

PLUS a Rabies vaccination if they are over 12 weeks old (for cats and dogs less than 12 weeks old, a $10 Rabies voucher will be issued, to be used when they are old enough to receive the vaccine). Before leaving the shelter, each animal is microchipped and registered to the new owner (or the rescue group who pulls them). Meet the animals at the shelter from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m, Monday through Friday.

West Jersey Volunteers for Animals 27 North Warner Street Woodbury NJ, 08096 Phone: 856-845-3860 Email: wjvolunteers@yahoo.com Scrap (and hundreds like him) left to die at the pound 
I saw you with Scrap today. You were smiling and for a while Scrap was sitting next to you with his
tail wagging. You were standing in front of the intake counter at Jacksonville Animal Control.
You were explaining that you couldn't keep him because he chewed through a $5.00 dollar telephone cord.
I heard the lady tell you that they take in at least 100 dogs a day and that Scrap would most likely
be euthanized, because he is a bigger dog. You were still smiling and Scrap was still looking up at
you with his tail wagging wondering if the new adventure with you was going to involve some new dog
friends that he could hear frantically barking all over the building. The lady asked if you wanted
his collar and his leash and you took them off (presumably for the new dog you will buy after the holiday)
as the lady put on his new plastic Animal Control, ID
collar and an Animal Control leash. Scrap was still a good boy, still wagging his tail. As you
walked out the door you were still smiling.
When you walked out the door Scrap stopped smiling. As he was tied up Scrap's tail stopped wagging
and went between his legs and he started crying. Scrap kept trying to get to you long after you were gone.
The lady at Animal Control felt bad for him and tried to give him a treat but all Scrap wanted was to
be with you so he kept crying. The Animal Control Officer came to get him and Scrap left with him his
tail between his legs and his head down. Scrap knew then that you were leaving him at that place
and you weren't coming back.
Scrap has seven days until he dies, Scrap probably won't live until Christmas. This is a true
story, it just happened yesterday. I don't expect that anyone is going to run down to
Jacksonville Animal Control
and get Scrap but please if you are thinking about taking your pet to Animal Control - don't.
If you are looking for a pet then check at Animal Control as there are so many Scrap's there.
Although Scrap is in Jacksonville, FL, this is also happening hundreds and thousands of times in
all towns and counties AND countries. PLEASE take pet ownership seriously! These precious, loving,
loyal animals do not deserve this. They ARE man's best friend! In good times and bad times,
they'll always be there for you and never judge you. You have a duty to care for your dog, not to dump it
because you cannot be bothered to train it or because it is inconvenient to keep it.
