Hello Again,

I am going to beg those of you that can no longer support your animals to at least find a humane shelter for them.

There are many horses that are being released on the road sides in Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska, I have learned that most states are also facing the same problem. These horse may have grass but they need water to survive Many areas are facing drought so the horses have neither food or water. Go on your computer or have someone do it for you and search for Horse Rescue Units. Those people will transport these horses to an area that can afford to keep them until they are adopted. The adoption fees are usually the cost of transportation and the feed they consume before being adopted.

I am aware that many of you have lost your jobs, your homes and now your animals. However if you truely care for them you will find them a home.

Now to the dogs that are being dumped along the roads or in open country, have you any idea what you are exposing your dog to. Some dogs are adopted by farmers, (Very Rare) They usually have their own. Back in the late '70's' People were dumping dogs in our area. My husband was attacked by a St Bernard, He shot at the dog but it got away, and a German Shepard was attacking our feeder pigs. Now here's the kicker. These dogs cross with coyotes and that cross is extremely dangerous because they don't have the wild fear of humans. We call them Coydogs. There has been numerous reports of these packs treeing people or if someone is stranded in their car, these packs keep them trapped in their cars for hours. Now if your dog is a small dog, coyotes will kill and eat them, as they did in North Carolina. They even went into the towns, Use your imagination for a second, what if a child were out in the yard instead of a small dog???

Find a No Kill Facility, once again use your computer or have someone else do it for you. Don't expose your pet to that kind of life or death.
