Urgent Rescues or Fosters from the Rottweiler Rescue of Michigan!

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

From the Rottweiler Rescue of Michigan:

GratiotmomURGENT – ADOPT or FOSTER by TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27

This very special family needs your help to save their lives. Through no fault of their own they are in one of Michigan’s saddest shelters where happy endings for the pets are far and few between. All pets who are not lucky enough to be reclaimed by their owners or adopted by new families go to a class B animal dealer. Class B animals dealers make their living from selling pets for research. A fate far worse than death.

GratiotlitterMom looks to be about 2 and the puppies are 6 weeks old. And if you foster for the Rottweiler Rescue, they will take care of the dog’s medical needs. Rescue is all about hopes and dreams – you can make the difference between this family having their dreams of a happy life come true, or, the worst possible nightmare of becoming a research experiment. They’re depending on you! Please note MSU is having many problems delivering the website online applications. Since time is of the essence please email silvar@msu.edu and the Rottweiler
Rescue will send you an application by email that you can fill in and send back just by hitting your ‘reply’ key.

Attention Eaton County Pet Owners and Animal Lovers!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

H.E.A.R.T.

H.E.A.R.T.

What can you do to help the cats and dogs at Eaton County Animal Control (ECAC)?  Please pass this on to pet owners in Eaton County.

1. Please write or call your Eaton County Commissioner and ask them to support #10 of the task force recommendations, the resolution to stop the sale of live animals to research. We have a sheriff’s order saying they stopped the sale, but the animal control ordinance still indicates they can do this. See the Animal Control Ordinance, page 6, Section 5.3,  http://www.eatoncounty.org/Assets/County+Clerk/Animal+Control+Ordinance.pdf

If you are not sure who your commissioner is, please see map:

http://www.eatoncounty.org/Assets/Information+Systems/GIS/Commissioner+Districts.pdf

tippy2. Please encourage people to adopt animals directly from Eaton County Animal Control. Eaton County Humane Society is taking out what they can, but there are many others left behind that need homes too. Not all the cats and dogs are posted on the website. The larger and older animals don’t have much of a chance. Currently approximately 75% of the cats and kittens are being euthanized.  http://www.eatoncounty.org/Departments/Animal_Control/Pets_in_our_facility.htm

3. Please attend public safety meetings to show support, if you can. The next two Public Safety meetings are on November 5th and December 3rd at 4 pm at the EC Sheriff’s Department training room. This is open to the public. People can speak during the public comment time, which is where we discuss ECAC concerns. http://www.eatoncounty.org/Board_of_Commissioners/Committee_Assignments/Public_Safety_Committee.htm

H.E.A.R.T. is so grateful to the people who attended the October 1st Public Safety Committee meeting and to the five citizens who spoke about concerns regarding Eaton County Animal Control. It was requested that the committee act on number 10 of the task force recommendations – “Maintain by County Board Resolution the Sheriff’s Order to end the practice of pound release (sale or transfer) of animals for research.” http://www.eatoncounty.org/Assets/County+Clerk/Animal+Control+Ordinance.pdf

Please join H.E.A.R.T.’s effort to help Eaton County’s shelter animals!

H.E.A.R.T. is now on Facebook!  Please sign up and be one of our fans.

Please see our H.E.A.R.T. website where we are doing our best to maintain current information.  www.HelpingEatonAnimalsRT.org

Our next HEART meeting will be at the Charlotte Public Library at 7 pm on Wednesday, November 4th.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for your support!

H.E.A.R.T.
