Please Don't Let This No Kill Shelter Have to euth Rescue. Adopt.

[Elizabetty]

I do a lot of crossposting of shelter dogs and cats who are urgent. This shelter in Kentucky has not killed a healthy dog or cat for over a year but they are very overcrowded and have been pleading for rescue help and adoptions. I think the AC is weary. The animals keep coming. These animals are loved and cared for. Please help this shelter not have to start killing again. If you can rescue or adopt I am sure the shelter volunteers will help you get the animals to your destination. I can't even look at the pictures. I ahve been crosspostin so many of these aniamls I feel like I know them and I can't bear the thought of these healthy cats and dogs being killed for lack of space.

My friends of rescue,

I know I have been doing this a lot lately, but, this weekend, only ONE dog left the shelter and more came in. James is rapidly approaching the point of no return. It has been more than one year since anyone has had to die because of space…don’t let the streak end this week. James is very good about not putting anyone down and putting animals everywhere if the animals are spoken for. They also have VERY temporary foster homes for animals committed to rescue.

The animals are begging for their lives…please don’t make them die…PLEASE! I know some of you are breed specific or cross posters such as myself, but, please look and forward on…the more cross posters the more rescues get a look.

ANIMALS WILL DIE WITHOUT OUR HELP!!! HURRY!!! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!

James’ contact info is below with the link to the website. If you see someone you want for next weekend and you don’t want to wait, you may email me or call me and I will get the info to James ASAP. I know we have 4 kittens moving to WI next Saturday, but nothing else in stone. I will be happy to set up transport for anyone who wants it.

National statistics:
Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home. Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever find a home. 800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the U.S, because there are not enough homes for them.

Saving one animal may not change the world, but, it will surely change the world for that one animal

Lord I wish I could help...but I have 4 dogs, 2 cats and a husband who never wanted any. I'm sorry, if it was up to me, I'd be fostering at least. One day.
