"YOUR FUZZY VALENTINE AWAITS!"
BROOKLYN, NY ADOPTION EVENT
Sponsored by In Our Hands Rescue, Inc, The Mayor's Alliance of NYC,
Northshore Animal League and the Regal Theater
 
 
  True love comes in all colors... 
     How about a friendly Russian Blue?  Maybe a mushy Red-nose?  Or even a bouncing baby brindle?  We have them all, and we hope you'll make one of our "fuzzy Valentines" your "one and only" this Valentines Day.
    But don't do it for the holiday-- do it because animals offer us unconditional love on a scale rarely experienced.  He or she will know you saved his or her life-- and never forget it.
     Thanks to our friends at the Mayor's Alliance of NYC, Northshore Animal League and The Regal Theater, IOHR will be holding an adoption event to help place the many animals still held in foster or boarding.  When you adopt a pet, you will open a space in rescue for another death-row animal to be saved.
 
 
Saturday Feb 14th, 12 PM - 6 PM
In front of the Regal Theater, located at:
 
106 Court Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201


meet these cats, kittens and dogs
• Until one has loved an animal,  a part of one's soul remains unawakened. -- Anatole France •

 

Palania, 2 yr old special needs DSH

 

Her name should be "Little Miss Sunshine," and she's just so special in every way!  Of course her Cerebral Hypoplasia just adds to her charm.  She is a "special needs" cat, but her conditon requires no extra treatment and her lifespan will be normal.  Cerebral Hypoplasia is a neurological ailment that affects some motor skills and makes her a bit wobbly, but she is healthy and happy despite it.  The condition will not worsen and she will simply be a "one-of-a-kind" loving kitty!
 
 
 
Kittens, kittens, kittens!

Looking for kittens?  We have a HUGE selection of furry, friendly, well-socialized kittens.  Ages start at 16 weeks and all are great little balls of fur and fun.  There will be many colors to chose from-- all super sweet.
 
 
 

 
Lucy, 1 yr old DSH
 
     Sweet Lucy is a mom that nobody wanted.  Her kittens were adopted long ago.  She is so sweet and loving, we have no idea why she's still here.  If you check out any cat at this event, come to see LUCY!  We are determined to find this incredible girl a home!
    Rescued from the city shelter with her own kittens, she proved to be a loving mom, nursing another litter as well. Now that they have all gone off and found loving homes poor Lucy waits for her turn. She'd give anything just to be your Valentine.
 
 
 
 
 
Abby, 1 yr old Russian Blue
 
 
 
     Scared, yet sweet Abby is another shelter rescue.  Now, she seeks the love of her forever home.  Not only is she a stunning Russian Blue colored cat, she is delightful company.  If you want to "rescue" a cat and help her to relax and adjust, this is your girl.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cindy, 5 month old Tabby Mix
 
 
 
    Poor scared Cindy has the look of terror in her eyes, however she non-aggressive and very much wanting to be loved.   She is looking for that calm soothing voice and soft touch to teach her to trust... is that you?
     She promises to be a wonderful cat in return.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Johnny, 6 month old DSH
 
Break out the cat nip and keep it coming!! he is a playful kitten who LOVES dogs i will repeat he LOVES dogs.  loads of fun and kitten cuddles i envy the lucky home who gets Johnny
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fredd, 6 month old DMH
 
     Fredd is the the cat who loves cats, yet not so much his humans-- he's not aggressive, just runs away.
     Are you looking for the purrrfect companion for your cat while you are away?  Or maybe your kitty is very pushy and you want another but someone very low-maintenence?  Well have I got the most beautiful soloution: FREDD!  He is simply stunning to look at, however he prefersto keep to himself or play with other cats.  He is a great cat for any other animal friend (he's also good with dogs)!  It's OK, he won't hurt a fly, even when cornered-- he just wants to get away. He isn't a hider either.  He can often be found lounging by the window or couch, but let's not scare him with all that touchy-feely business!
 
 
 
 
Zoe, 2 month old Boxer/Amstaff Mix
 
Adorable 8 week-old zoe is a typical puppy-- very playful and loving, but very emergetic!  She needs a home with bully breed expierence in order for her to grow into a well-rounded, disciplind family dog.  We'd love to see her new family eroll er in puppy training as a way to teach her groundrules and build the human-canine bond.  When placed in loving, structured homes, this breed is sweet, obediet and loyal!
 
She has all her shots, is dewormed, spayed and microchipped-- ready to share her puppy kisses asap!

She is a great little lady who you will be lucky to have added to your family-- come to meet her at teh event, or email jennifer@inourhandsrescue.org.
 
 
 
 
 
 
*** Here are some HIGH PRIORITY dogs who are UNABLE to be at the event.  Please email emily@inourhandsrescue.org to meet them!
 
 
 
Max, 11 month old Great Dane/Boxer Mix, 60 lbs

     Max was saved from euthanasia at the shelter and was placed in a kennel temporarily to save his life. We are now looking for his forever home.  MAX is an 11-month old male tan and white Boxer/Great Dane mix puppy that weighs 60 lbs. He arrived at the shelter on Oct 9th as a stray. He is your typical puppy – full of playful and innocent puppy energy. As you can see from his picture, he was emaciated and all we want for him is a caring owner that will take him into their loving home. Can you afford Max this once in a lifetime opportunity?
     We know that Max is good with most dogs when introduced properly, but he does chase cats, and not in a playful way. We picture the ideal home for max to be with active, experienced adults with no small furry creatures who may be perceived as prey running around! Max is very, very intelligent. he is eager to learn and eager to please-- one volunteer even pictures him as an excellent SAR (search and rescue) dog!
     ***MAX is boarded in the Philadelphia METRO area, despite our NYC area code!*** If you can provide Max the loving and nurturing home that will give him the TLC he deserves, please respond to this posting or call 212-533-0822. When leaving a message, please also provide your email address so we can email you an application right away for consideration. 
 
 
  
Ashley, 8 year-old Amstaff Mix, 50 lbs
 
 
Sweet ASHLEY was saved from deathrow at the local city shelter in the nick of time. She's a calm gentle very loving mature F Brindle Pit Mix weighing approx 50 lbs. She was surrendered by a family that couldn't keep her because they were moving but they assured us that she is a wonderful family dog!  She is not great with other big dogs at first but she may be ok with them once she gets to know them... she would probably do better with smaller dogs but it would be best if she were an "only pet". She's going to need someone who has had previous Bully Breed experience and will be patient and compassionate with her.
     Ashley was always kept in the house and was never properly acclimated to fast moving city life so she's a bit afraid of objects that move quickly in front of her i.e bicycles, skateboards, running people.. therefore we feel a  QUIET HOME IN THE COUNTRY would be the best place for her. Her foster mom is patiently working with her fears and reports that once she gets to know you, she is the sweetest loving snuggle buggle... she just is a bit afraid of the unknown. So if you're looking for a sweet calm loyal companion - please open your heart and home to welcoming ASHLEY!
 
 
 
Mr. White, 6 month-old American Staffordshire Terrier, 40 lbs
 
This beautiful pure-white rednose Amstaff originally came from an upstate breeder. They can no longer keep him because of the landlord, and this sweet puppy needs a new home. IOHR agreed to help him find the best forever home he could hope for! he loves his toys and loves to play with other dogs-- he is a well socialized, typical puppy! He will need lots of exercise for his age and breed, so we hope to find him an athletic or active new mom or dad. His owner says he is good with kids and other dogs. He is a big snuggler and loves to give kisses while laying next to you on the couch-- what a mush! His favorite snack is cheese.. now you gotta love a pup that loves cheese! All he needs now is that final FUREVER home. Contact emily@inourhandsrescue.org to meet him in Richmond Hill!
 
 

 
Eric, 11 month old Amstaff Mix, 50 lbs
 
THIS SWEET HANDSOME PUP NEEDS TO BE IN A HOME!  HE HAS BEEN STUCK IN BOARDING - CAN YOU HELP US TO SAVE HIM BY COMMITTING TO Adopting/Fostering/Sponsoring?
 
HOW WAS THIS DOG EVER IN THE SHELTER? Whomever gave him up did someone else a favor. This dog is nearly *perfect* - he scored "NO CONCERN" on his behavior test and he's GORGEOUS to boot. Can you believe a coveted blue nose puppy was dumped? Well, he was. Their loss, our gain!

ERIC is calm, cool and collected, gentle-- well behaved. He is all of those things you want in an 11 mo, 45 lb puppy but can't get. He has a gorgeous silver and white coat, and a uniquely spotted nose--- a beautiful boy, inside and out. So highly adoptable, we don't even need to spew euphamisms here, however since he's still a pup, he will still need "EXERCISE, DISCIPLINE & TRAINING". He appears to be housebroken and he's good with other dogs. We don't know how he is with cats or small kids under 5 yrs old so we don't recommend that he go with young children unless YOU'VE HAD PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with PITS. If you come to meet him, you just might get the privilege of being his mom or dad--- but don't wait--- he's not safe from loneliness yet-- not until hes cozy in your arms.


 

Missy, 2 year old Hound/Amstaff Mix, 45 lbs
Sweet MISSY is the kind of dog you want to cuddle up with. This small 2 yr old hound/amstaff X arrived at the Shelter as a stray. She loves being caressed and petted, and loves treats, ah, perhaps a bit too much. She needs to put on some weight. She arrived here very thin and underweight.  Clearly, life had been hard to her. She wants to gobble up treats and needs to learn to take them gently from your hands. She walks nicely on a leash, and has learned "sit" when tasty treat is her reward. She's been good with most dogs, so email us to meet her today!



 
Slim, 1 year old Lab/Amstaff Mix, 45 lbs
SLIM is a 1-year old (or possibly younger) male, black and white American Staffordshire Terrier Mix puppy that weights about 45 lbs. Poor Slim was found chained to a tree. What a cruel thing to do to a dog! He's a very sociable and friendly boy. Slim loves being with people and adores being petted and hugged. He's still very much a puppy: a bit mouthy but has no intention of hurting you. Just puppy mouthy -- wanting to gum anything he can get in his mouth. He's still puppy-clumsy. For example, he fell off the bench while going belly up for tummy rubs. He's quite a mush. He's been fine around other dogs at the shelter. He weighs 39 pounds and will grow some more. He is very active and needs to be adopted by someone who will give him daily exercise-- morning and or evening jogs would be great for him!

Orlando, FL - Dogs need rescue/adopt URGENT!
Jan 18, 2009
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Various
Location: Florida, United States

Original Message:
-----------------

Orlando, FL - Dogs need rescue/adopt URGENT! 7:24 AM


The following dogs are located at the Orange County Animal Control Services in Orlando, FL. Their last day is Tuesday, January 20th. There are many other URGENT dogs there as well, which you can find here: http://www.orangecountyfl.net/dept/CEsrvcs/animal/NetPets/Overall.asp?NN=1&AT=D


These are the ones I was specifically emailed about:


Animal ID: A127783 Room No.: WD43

Hi, my name is Scar face. I am an approximately 1 year 2 month old brown and black brindle male Pit Bull-Mix. I am listed as shy and was very fearful at first. Once the shelter workers started playing with me, I was bouncing and prancing around the yard! The workers say I'm always smiling and seem like a really nice dog! Wouldn't you like to be my playmate and make me smile? I'm housebroken and walk great on a leash!


Animal ID: A127809 Room No.: WD53

Hi, I am an approximately 5 month old black and white male Pit Bull-Mix. I'm a sweet, playful pup! Please give me the chance to grow big and strong...and to know what it feels like to be loved. The workers here say I'm pretty laid back for a puppy, a little on the shy side. I just need some TLC. They also say I have tons of potential! I'm housebroken and walk on the leash well.


Animal ID: A127683 Room No.: WD36

Hi, I'm Trina, a 2-year-old female black and white Labrador Retriever. I am shy, but once I spend a little time with you, I cling to your side and don't want to be away from you. It's very apparent that I want to be a good girl, if someone would just show me what they want. I need an understanding home that's full of TLC. I will be a loyal companion forever.


 Animal ID: A127801, Room #: WD37


Hi, I'm a 1-year-old male black and tan Rottweiler. I'm just waiting at the shelter for someone to come adopt me and take me home! I love people and dogs and am very friendly with both. If I'm not adopted or rescued soon, I don't think I'll reach my second birthday. Please give me the love I deserve.

They must be adopted or pulled by a rescue VERY SOON, or they will be euthanized. The shelter has MANY other animals (cats, kittens, dogs, bunnies, etc.) in need of adoption. To check out the other furry friends waiting for a forever home, visit the Orange County Animal Services site.


If you are interested in adopting/rescuing one of these dogs, please contact ALL THREE OF THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESSES:

WILBUR NEEDS A FOREVER HOME !
Jan 4, 2009
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Various
Location: Utah, United States

This is A Best Friends Member Message



Carol from PAWS in St. George, Utah contacted us because Wilbur was at the St. George Animal Shelter and he was in bad shape. It was New Years Eve and there were no vet offices open and Wilbur's injuries were so severe that they could not wait.  



Wilbur has a severe infection in his leg, and is about 20 lbs underweight. He had one leg bone completely exposed and then someone wrapped it so tightly that it caused the tissue to atrophy. 


Wilbur is in good hands now and is getting treatment at the Best Friends Clinic but his recuperaton may take a while as he may be losing his back leg. 


We need a comfy home for Wilbur to stay at until he is completely well and can go to his forever home. 



 We estimate that Wilbur he is about 3 years old and is a male blue brindle pit bull. 


Wilbur has been an absolute sweetheart with everyone, even when some of the treatment he received hurt.


If you can provide a comfortable place for Wilbur to recuperate or if you are interested in adopting Wilbur please contact  Carol at  carol@dixiepaws.org 


435-680-2643 or 435-634-5829


Thanks Members. We are making a difference one animal att a time.

PETITON FOR BRINDI !

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/FREEBRINDI/

YOUR BELOVED DOG COULD BE NEXT!

 

 

 

This is a true story and is worthy of everyone's attention. It is a story of a caring woman, Francesca Rogier, who, for the past 5 months, has been fighting to save her dog Brindi from euthanization. It is a fight against the wrongful, unjust system of Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Brindi's plight has reached thousands of supporters "worldwide". We are all watching and waiting to see what happens in Halifax, Nova Scotia on January 5, 2009. Will justice prevail? 

 

 

 

I know we all have our priorities in life, in rescue, different areas or different goals. But Brindi's life depends on each one of us, to speak for her, by covering this story and/or writing to the contacts below. Help us  set a precedent that this will never happen again to any innocent animal, because of laws that are too rigid and humans who are without compassion.

 

 

 

Brindi has been held on death row since July 24, 2008, that terrible day that animal control officers seized her from her home, where she lived with Francesca and her two cats. Brindi is at the NS SPCA Metro Shelter (HRM), 5 Scarfe Court , Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B3B 1W4 Shelter Phone# (902) 468-7877. This shelter was  ready to kill Brindi on August 7, 2008. To prevent this execution, Ms. Rogier had to hire a lawyer.


 

During this time, Ms. Rogier had sent numerous written requests to visit Brindi at the HRM shelter, but was denied.  On Wednesday, December 17, 2008, she went to the shelter once again to try to see her dog. The SPCA had the police officially ban her from setting foot on their property for six months, or she would be fined $250.

 

Francesca is presently unemployed and unable to look for work, due to stress, because of this long heart-wrenching battle and her costs have now reached C$12,000. for legal fees and shelter costs of C$4,050. at $25/day. Ms. Rogier has used up her financial resources in her fight to save her dog, putting her urgent house repairs on 'hold'. She had hired contractors and after she paid them, they left her hanging with a house that is in such a terrible state.

 

During these past months, numerous supporters, consisting of Rescue Groups, Vets, Animal Advocates, have written to Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly, to intervene and put a stop to this power game. They have asked that he revise Halifax's By-Law A-300,  by adding it to the agenda for the city council. Council refused to discuss it. This law has too many loop holes and does not serve the community. The Council was also presented with two petitions signed by approximately 4,000 people. This was also rejected, for their reason that it did not have the civic addresses included.  This was just another one of many excuses.  Mayor Kelly has sent this same recent response to several people  - (his words -  therefore no corrections to spelling have been m ade)   "Thank you for writing.  I understand your deep concern regarding Brindi and Ms Rogier.  Howeve, I am unable to comment on this case while it is before the courts."   

 

The City Attorney is willing to exhaust the City of Halifax's financial budget of $2.3 million, on perpetually appealing the "Francesca Rogier and her dog Brindi's" case! The public would be outraged to learn how their hard earned tax payers' money is being spent.  They also are well aware of Ms. Rogier's hardships. How can this be allowed to happen? Why have they been given so much power? Why are they so persistent in crucifying Francesca & Brindi? Why would they want to kill Brindi, when she is not considered to be a 'dangerous' dog?  Why are they so inhumane and without compassion?

 

There is word from a reliable source, that if Ms. Rogier wins her case on January 5th, the City plans to appeal and will not release Brindi. They will keep her incarcerated for an undetermined length of time. In the end, they will have destroyed her, if we don't all fight for her now! 

 

In such a terrible contradiction, not to say hypocrisy, dogs are treated so harshly under these present laws in Nova Scotia, and are killed far too readily.  Yet, dogs are a billion dollar box office gold. They are seen in every kind of commercial ad and form of entertainment. They are totally relied upon by everyone, from ground search teams to therapists, doctors, policemen and of course the blind, deaf and much more. Humans would suffer a lot without our precious dogs.  Despite this, laws everywhere fully ignore their true value, not just in terms of the work they perform but in terms of their individual bonds with people and their inestimable physical and emotional health benefits.  


Not only is there the possibility of an innocent dog being destroyed by the HRM Metro shelter,  but Halifax is destroying  Francesca!  On the court date, scheduled for January 5, 2009,  Brindi & Francesca's fate will be decided.  Please help us save Brindi and send her home to her rightful owner, Francesca Rogier.
