Great thread, and I'm subscribing.

In NW Indiana, Anderson's Feline Reduction Center in Beverly Shores is also a fine resource.

Dr. Anderson at the Anderson Feline Population Reduction Center works with both owned cats, and feral/stray cats. All cats are $50, and this fee includes the surgery itself, a pain shot, a rabies vaccination, treatment for visible parasites (ear mites, worms, fleas), a dose of Revolution, a shot of penicillin,and a physical exam; other vaccinations or testing is additional. The clinic operates on Saturdays, and is cash only. Dr. Anderson’s is a low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter clinic, and does not provide other veterinary services.

Hi y'all! I'm Daddislilgrrl, and we run Andrews Rescue and Foster Care. We rescue small breed dogs from animal control offices, and we bring them home, get them vetted, housebreak them and crate train them. They go to their new home with their crate and we adopt all over the country if there's an exceptional home

To see who we have available, go to www.petfinder.com and seach for dogs in Andrews TX.

Hugs,

It's always nice to see a fellow animal lover

I have done cat rescue in the past and am still with 11 rescues out of 36. It would be great to find homes for more of them, but past getting them fixed and bringing them home after their vet visit, I've never taken them back to the vet ...well, 'cept my little queen, who came with me from IL. She needs allergy shots regularly and ointment because she licks the fur right off her belly at times. If I had the money to ship my cats to other states, I'd be happy to send them off to good homes. Just that I don't ask for money to adopt them out because I don't have an adoption agency. All I ever wanted was good homes for them. I suppose if someone wanted one of them, they could figure out how to get them to their place.

I think it's great that we have so many kind, caring animal people on this site.

Goodness gracious. I have another senior here. There is a hot seat in hell for people who dump seniors at the shelter. She was part of a breeding pair, the male was so sick the shelter had to let him go. They called me to come get her. She's been over bred and then over bred some more. She's a sweet girl, with a wacky sense of humor. I named her Miss Cleo.

I had another dog through her last month. He was a starved GSP. Super sweet dog. He wanted to press his head against me all of the time. I tried to get him to eat to no avail. I gave him to a friend of mine to foster, she only got him to eat some and she was cooking for him. She had X-rays done and nothing was there. Six days later another set and something was so egregious they opened him up. He was full of cancer so they let him go. He was a great dog and I'm happy that the last three weeks of his life were full of home cooked meals and love. We named him Sport.

This is as insupportable as greyhound racing is.

Ticks “Crawling up the Wall” in Kennel at Tucson Greyhound Park

With each passing month, more evidence emerges of humane problems at Tucson Greyhound Park. Last week, GREY2K USA received new state records that document neglectful conditions in one of the track kennels, as well as an ongoing problem with greyhound injuries.

According to a March 6, 2012 Arizona Department of Racing Stewards Report, a state inspection revealed “ticks crawling up the wall” in the Brian Lewis Kennel:

“Brian Lewis kennel had ticks crawling up the wall behind the crates during a State Inspection and TGP Management told State Officials that the kennel would be addressed as far as cleanliness and to this date nothing has been done.”

This is not the first time that poor kennel conditions have been documented at Tucson Greyhound Park. In fact, similar conditions have been documented at the facility over and over again. Sadly, it’s becoming all too obvious that track management is simply incapable of addressing this chronic problem.

Meanwhile, the same March 6 Stewards Report also documents continued problems with track conditions at Tucson. The Stewards Report refers to a previous meeting between kennel operators and track General Manager Tom Taylor, and states:

“After nothing was resolved from a meeting with the GM and trainers/owners, some trainers/kennel operators are now holding the State responsible for all the injuries at Tucson Greyhound Park. As you can see there are 7 scratched greyhounds tonight ‘ALL LAME’”

Later in the report, state officials indicate that one kennel owner contacted them directly to voice her concerns:

“Donna Mann called the Stewards off the roof to talk about the out of control injuries. She has a list of 17 injuries which she gave to management, the racing office, and left copies in the racing office titled ‘DAN’ and the Director of Racing asked ‘why do you need him it’s our issue’ and to date Dan Reinertson has not received copies.”

Finally, it’s important to note that this Stewards Report also provides evidence that track management is indifferent to humane problems at Tucson Greyhound Park. Reading through the records, a sad pattern emerges. The state documents neglectful conditions in a track kennel, management tells the state they will address it, but then nothing happens. Kennel owners hold a meeting with management about injuries, but “nothing (i)s resolved.” A kennel owner takes her concerns about injuries directly to state officials, but the track Director of Racing discourages her from reporting the problem.

This indifference by Tucson Greyhound Park management is part of the problem. It proves that the track is incapable of being a good corporate citizen, and cannot be trusted to resolve even the most basic humane issues at the facility. That is why it’s time for Arizona lawmakers and voters to step up and help the greyhounds. If they don’t, no one will.

Blech!

Poor Sport was covered with ticks when he got here. My vet pulled them all off of him. He was visibly happier.
