I joined this forum in early August because I have a 6 year old Yorkie that I love and I thought this was a place that I could share my love for him and learn more about how to better take care of his health. I happened upon this forum by accident because I was looking for a birthday cake to make for Bentley's birthday which was August 13th. When I did a google search this site came up. That's how I found YT.
I do not know a single person at the precious paws rescue. The only reason I found out about it was I was looking on petfinder.com for a yorkie to rescue and there they were, the mange poor little babies. I thought that you guys would be outraged and might want to help so I posted the link on this site.
I'll tell you anything you want to know about me. I have nothing to hide. My name is Tonya Hansen I'm 36, I'm a scout master, I have been married for 11 years and have one son. I volunteer at my sons elementary one day a week and I'm a stay at home mom. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and I'm 1st councelor in the primary presidency.
I live in Vonore Tennessee in Monroe County. My phone number is 423-884-3958. You may call me any time. My husbands name is Brett.
I have no alterior motives by being a member of this site. I just love yorkies. I was just trying to do the right thing by posting the petfinder link about the mangy dogs. |
Hi Tonya, I think you might be able to help from this day forward by working towards and seeking others to get laws passed through out your state to see that all animals are treated humanely by their owners and work towards getting
ANIMAL CONTROL IN CONTROL
apparently those in the animal control aren't all that concerned are they would be fighting mad to get laws passed through out your state. It is totally disgraceful that there is such as this going on there. It doesn't matter how small a community is or how large
animal control's purpose is for the the well being of all animals.
I think that it is good you are trying to help them, but help should have started long, long time ago by getting laws to protect them, Pets have rights and the very first one is to be treated humanely, what about the Vets in your area aren't they out there fighting mad. I urge you and others there to start emailing your government officials and let them know something needs to be done. Get petitions started. Don't you all have a health department, has anyone thought to contact the health department on this? I don't live in your State, but I am going to email your government officials to let them know they ought to be ashamed, maybe some of them should forfit their high paying political position and go get a job as dog catchers and part of there job be in rescuing these poor ones abused.
Here is a site for those interested in emailing State officials in Tennessee, it has there email address's and phone numbers. As soon as I finish posting this I am going directly to email those I found here and I encourage others to do so too.
