OMG.....Squirt will have to be called Rambo now!

We don't have a Humane Society here. The police come and get them and take them to this really crappy make-shift shelter (unless they're vicious). At least it's a no-kill shelter, but I've seen some nasty things out there. A lot of their animals are sick, they don't give them shots or neuter.......they adopt dogs at 10.00 ea. cats at 5.00. If it's a full bred dog they get 25.00. And that's all her money, cause she gets the food donated from the local Walmart. As far as the veterinary, you're on your own. I've been talking to several rescue agencies around here, and they have been trying for years to get a real Humane Society in this county. Some of these rescue people claim to have seen dogs feeding on dead cats and puppies, etc. I've only been there once when I was looking for a kitten, but all their cats looked sick so I went elsewhere. I did take a look in their kennel and it was pretty nasty. Plus they also had a lot of dogs and all the cats just running loose.

Story is the people who started the hospital and some other things (name Bartlett) were rich and they left a bunch of money in trust to start a shelter, but the county commission and other officials are pretty mum about it. No one seems to know what happened to the money and it ticks me off. One of the reasons why Creek Co. is sometimes to referred to as Crook Co.......crooked politicians!

I'm waiting for the police to get here now, and I'm feeling pretty sad. I've been out to give them treats. I'm so afraid the timid mother will try to attack them when they try to catch her. The young male is pretty friendly so I doubt he'll be a problem.

I appreciate you people letting me vent here.

I just got a call from the police and they are sending a fireman out this afternoon. ????

They will have a hard time catching the mama dog though. I think I'm the only person she likes and that's cause I always hand her treats over the fence. I can pet her nose, but I don't think I can catch her either. And they have a HUGE yard!

You know...its against Animal Cruelty Laws to abandon your animals...I'm sure there is a record of who lived there. They ought to hunt them down ...lets see how much time and money those heartless sociapaths have saved when they see the lawyer bills.....it would have been kinder and easier to find them a suitable home.

I know that, but we don't have anyone to enforce it. I doubt very seriously that the Kellyville police (we only have 3) will want to pursue it. I only have their first names and I have no idea where they moved to.

Oh, and the owner of the property is a relative of theirs, and I doubt she would give me the information to persue it. (although she is pretty PO'd at the way they left her house)

OK......yesterday came and went and the police still hasn't came and gotten the dogs. I called this morning and he said he would try to get someone out here today.

Last night the teenage boy that lived there came by with a truck and got some stuff out of their shed. He said he wanted the young black dog and I told him to take him then, cause I didn't know when the police would come to pick up the dogs. Evidentally his parents didn't want that dog and he said he was trying to find someone to keep him for him. But again he left without taking the dog, or giving me any information.

I'm at my wits end worrying about these dogs. I guess I should just let them be, but I can't stand knowing that no one is feeding them, so I keep on feeding and giving them water. My mom keeps telling me to ignore them, but I just can't do it. I live in a house behind my mom's house and when I go out my front door they're right there at the fence waiting for me to give them something. They know they have abandoned and that I'm the only one they can depend on.

ARRRGGGG!!
