VERY URGENT... Senior shepherd at Mt Pleasant needs rescue

Mt Pleasant has a senior Shepherd believed to be around 10 yrs old. He is VERY, VERY sweet. He was out in freezing weather for a couple of days before being picked up as a stray. This poor dog really deserves a second chance....

Contact Monica at petrescue75455@gmail.com if you can help.

Dallas: 2 Neglected Dogs Need Rescue Group or Permanent Home

Reposted from Jonnie England:

This is a personal appeal on behalf of my cousin, Scott Carpenter. Scott owns a rental condo in NE Dallas. The tenant told Scott he was going out of town, and when Scott went to check on the unit, he found the tenant’s two dogs living in terrible, filthy conditions. Scott has been in touch with the tenant, who has agreed to surrender the dogs to avoid being reported for animal cruelty. Scott has taken the dogs into his home, but has three large dogs of his own and cannot keep them.

Below is information about these sweet dogs. If you can help or want more information, please contact Scott Carpenter –iamseeking_2000@yahoo.com – 972-342-6677.

Piper:

· Black Lab mix

· 3 years old

· Neutered

· approx. 50 pounds

· great with adults but due to his rambunctiousness, he's better with children 10 and up

· House trained

· best paired with another dog.

Macaroni):

· (Black) Blue Healer/ Terrier mix

· 8 months to 1 year old

· approx. 20 pounds

· NOT neutered

· great with adults and children of all ages

· Partially house trained, will only go in the house if he has no way of getting outside

· best paired with another dog.

These dogs do very well together, and would love to go to the same home, though they can manage without one another.

Both dogs are also trained to use doggy doors to go outside.

I appreciate any help you can give these sweeties. They deserve good homes. Please network and share with your contacts.

Foster dog, Sophie, needs home as only dog but loves kitties!

Hi! My name is SOPHIE and I am the sweetest girl ever (or so my foster mom tells me)! I am a 4 year old Lab mix and I am SOOOOO ready to find my forever home. I need a home where I can be an only dog however I am a big fan of kitties and kids!

I was rescued from a local shelter where they just had an over abundance of big dogs so I am so lucky my foster mom picked me! I love to go for car rides and my favorite place to go is the place with the "golden arches" out front where I get my favorite treat! I know to potty outside and I know basic commands (I will do anything for a treat!) I am currently an indoor dog only because I am a couch potato but I am also really good at letting my foster mommy know if anyone comes into our yard!

I am spayed, micro-chipped, current on Heartworm preventative and up to date on my shots now all I need is a home where I can be a spoiled rotten only dog! Could that be with you?

If Sophie could be your “one and only” please e-mail Kelly at kelbond@sbcglobal.net to meet her!

Age: 4 years old

Weight: 88 lbs

Update: Medical Info - 6 Yr Old Yellow Lab Mix, owner passed and looking for new home

This is sweet Tammy. Sadly, her owner passed away in November and the owner's daughters have been caring for her but cannot keep her long term. They are hoping to find her a new home with a very loving family. Tammy is a very sweet dog, yellow lab mix, about 6 years old, spayed, and she has a soft and shiny coat.

Tammy's previous family members included a boxer mix and Chihuahua and she got along great with the. She has a very happy demeanor and is eager to please. Walks well on a leash and understands commands like sit and stay. Loves car rides and loves to lay on a lap!

Recent trip to the vet went well. She is spayed, no heartworms, current on shots, and got a clean bill of health! Vet records are available.

If you can give her a good home, or know someone who can, please contact Janet Kriger Moore at 210-325-2410.

Here is a collage of the dogs on the EU list for Tuesday, 1-21-14 at 2:00 p.m.

Animals on the Urgent List are held on a day to day basis based on health, behavior and space. They may be humanely euthanized at anytime.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

To Reserve an animal from the Urgent List:

· Please send us an e-mail to NSanimalrescue@arlingtontx.gov with the subject line:

§ Tag from Urgent List

Please include in your email:

· Your Adoption Partner Group Name

· The Animal’s Kennel/Cage# and ID #

· Which of your representatives will be picking up the animal?

· When you will be picking the animal up? (same day as tag or no later than close of business day the following day)

· What other services are being requested, if any, and how payment will be handled.

(rabies $10, dh2pp/bordatella $5.50, fvrcp $2.50, heartworm test $5.50, cat combo test $12.50, microchip $5.50, de-worming $1, frontline/advantage $2)

· If your group is utilizing a transporter that is not a member of your organization, please send your name, address and phone number along with a copy of your driver’s license to request a Transfer Out contract. Scan/E-mail or Fax# 817-459-5698

Adoption Partners should receive a confirmation e-mail. If you do not receive this e-mail, it means that the animal has not yet been tagged for your group.

Adoption Partners must only send people that are on their current “pull lists” so that the correct animal goes to the correct Adoption Partner; if the person is not on the current pull list, please have the president of your group immediately send an email tolynn.trotter@arlingtontx.gov, susan.waits@arlingtontx.gov stating that you wish to add that person. Please make sure that your representative has the animal’s correct Animal ID # at the time of pick-up.

No Adoption Partner will transfer an animal accepted from AAS to another group (rescue group, agency, organization, shelter, sanctuary etc…) that is not an AAS approved placement partner, without the approval of AAS.

To become an Adoption Partner with Arlington Animal Services, or just to find out more information about placement with Arlington Animal Services, go to http://www.arlingtontx.gov/animals/rescueorganization.html

Transporters are required to have carriers to transport animals in safely especially if they are transporting multiple animals. Transporters without proper containment devices will be turned away.

Groups that wish to utilize transporters that are not members of their group now have the option of completing the Transfer Out Contract. Group member will need to send an e-mail with their complete name, address and phone number and request that the transfer out contract be sent to them. It will need to be scanned and e-mailed back (or faxed) with a copy of the driver’s license of the person signing the contract as the group member. This will remove the responsibility of providing proof of spay/neuter from the people that are just transporters. Transporters will be sent with a copy of this Contract at the time of pick up. They will also sign it as a transporter and provide a copy of their driver’s license just in case there are any issues.

You can review our Adoption Placement Partner Standard Operating Policies and Procedures on our website at anytime.

Accounts are now audited on a quarterly basis to be sure that spay/neuter verification have been received on animals that have been transferred. Adoption Placement Partners privileges may be suspended for non-compliance of this requirement.

BREED SPECIFIC RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS

Interested in adopting a dog, but want a specific breed? You can actually find breed specific rescue organizations everywhere. Labs, Poodles, Beagles and dogs of all breeds need rescuing too! They don't have to come from a breeder. If you are looking to adopt a specific breed please search for your new pup through a rescue organization before calling a breeder.

Breeds are listed below. Some regional organizations are listed where DFW or Texas groups could not be found. Please contact me at sydneyr@alumni.ou.edu if there are groups I need to add/remove.

This information takes a long time to compile so I will add more over time. Also researching hybrid breed rescues for all of you labradoodle, cockapoo lovers out there!
