URGENT Labrador Beagle Mix Carrollton Georgia Needs Home NOW!



Please, please help Dwight, he's been held over for almost three weeks (unusual) because he is so sweet, and late Sunday is likely his last day. Its ironic the same people who have held him over hoping, will be the ones to end his life.

He came to the shelter happy and bright, and full of life. In a few short weeks, he has become sad and depressed, he curls up in a ball in his cage, no longer hoping for the attention he originally sought. He has been passed by one too many times. He is "quietly dignified", a special boy IF given the opportunity.

Please someone help him, he is going to lose his life for being patient and waiting to be noticed. Along the way he's lost HOPE, it can be renewed. Many of the most loving and devoted dogs I've known have had similar stories. They should inspire all of us to keep trying for the ones still waiting to shine.

Thank you for taking the time to xpost for Dwight.

STOP FUNDING THE ASPCA - IN THE NAME OF OREO


Last June, a one-year old dog named Oreo was intentionally thrown off a sixth floor Brooklyn roof top by her abuser. Oreo sustained two broken legs and a fractured rib. Although the facts are sketchy, Oreo also appears to have been beaten in the past—several of the neighbors in the building where Oreo lived reported hearing the sounds of the dog being hit. The ASPCA nursed her back to health and arrested the perpetrator. They also dubbed her the “miracle dog.”

The miracle was short-lived. On Friday, the ASPCA killed Oreo, despite the fact that a local No Kill shelter had offered to save her.

We have said this before, but it bears repeating: Working to reform the humane movement to bring it back to its original mission of saving lives, we have experienced many unexpected and heartbreaking moments of animals being betrayed by their so-called protectors.

We believe this is one of them. PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE ABOUT OREO AND THE FAULTS OF THE ASPCA; independently written article for the Examiner: The Meaning of Oreo.

Do you have any idea what really goes on behind closed doors at a chicken farm? Do you know what the labels mean on the egg cartons in your local super market? Most people probably do not. I personally invite you to visit the following site and become educated on the false information that is being given to you by the egg industry. If you are compassionate at all it will shock you. Please visit the links within the site for more in depth information.
