Taking Donations for Animal Rescue Effort at the Earth Movement Studio
Wed, July 5, 2006 - 9:12 PMThis from one of my students, Genevieve, involved w/ Animal Friends:
Preston County Animal Control has taken custody of all Star Ridge
animals ("shelter" posing as a rescue organization; kept adoption fees and did not care for the animals.) There are probably 200 dying or very sick animals - dogs,
cats, rabbits. They are killing each other from hunger. No food or
water for days. Many crates are
needed. They also will need foster homes,
food, bowls, leashes, etc;
Preston County shelter needs foster homes for five, 6-wk old kittens w/ URI's (contagious, but treatable)
& many, many 40-60 lb dogs, a few larger, some w/ pups. Some females pregnant.
All now vaxed, wormed. Need love, bathing, grooming, good nutrition, training & more LOVE!
I think they plan to s/n as $$ & vet time is available.
All foster animals must be kept till court case is over, maybe ~ 4 months or so?
PC shelter has a simple foster parent form you can fill out on site for immediate approval. 304-329-3461.
Rabbits: 8 does-- all pregnant, except possibly 2 doelings-- & 1 buck, all in pretty good shape, are at my house now. I signed as their foster mom, but if anyone else can help-- call me-- 304-692-7403 & we'll get approval of PC shelter director, Jo Deen Johnnie.
Animal Friends took all dogs needing special care-- notably those w/ skin infections. 304-290-4PET if you'd like to volunteer time or give donations.
Woofs Canine Accoutrements donated supplies.
Morgantown Petco donated food.
Petco Fdn (not corporate) is going to help, we hope. They're very supportive & promised these folks would never take animals to a Petco again.
Anyone who can donate tarps, large dog houses, kennels, very large dog bowls, including the type that allows water storage & access, puppy food, blankets, towels, Clorox, transportation for volunteers, time to bathe, walk & love dogs, please call Jo Deen at the shelter or Susan as per her post.
This is a list of needed supplies given by another student who was there in her required haz mat suit rescuing animals on this raid:
Adult dog/cat food
Puppy and kitten food
kitty litter
toys
towels/blankets
food dishes
leashes
treats
clorox and cleaning items...
We will collect items at the Earth Movement Studio and arrange for them to be driven to the Preston County Shelter. If you would like to donate items, please bring them by before or after class times (see schedule on main page) or call to arrange another drop off time. Call 304-276-3262 or email Narah@TribalBellyDance.net
