Hi Shana,
Could you post a save a Great Pyr on Big Paws? There's a Great Pyr in Georgia due to be euthanized on Friday. Go to www.petfinder. com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=4873046&adTarget=&SessionID=42f1469f6e1c68d2-app4&display=&preview=1&row=0&tmpl=&stat= Â I hope someone can save him. If we were moved, I'd go get him. We like guardian dogs and once we are settled after our move, I will get involved in rescue.
Thanks, I'll let you know once we get Sapphire tatooed.
Take care,
Deena

on their website it has this : SPONSORSHIP POSSIBLE: IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SPONSOR A SWEET AND LOVING KITTEN, CAT, or DOG (vet bills, etc.) to help save its life and find it a loving home, please contact our rescue organization immediately at shelterrescue@direcway.com for information.
I will contact any pyr rescues I can find tomorrow or later tonight if hubby doesn't need the computer.
-
I sent emails out to my Pyr rescue contact list that I have, in all surrounding states.

Nina, I dont know what pyr groups you have emailed, but it cant hurt even if we should happen to email the same ones. I am just now getting online again, had a loooong nap after a nyquil self medication lol...... I will pull out my lists here and see if I can also find all breed rescue groups around here.
Ill get on it right away. I wish they put out age and more info on those petfinder posts.

I found this list < http://www.diggitty.ca/rescuecontacts.htm>
and emailed the emails in Florida and Georgia.
Anyone else I can email?
-
The other thing we might try is calling the animal shelter that has him and tell them who we are with and that we are trying to find a rescue to take him. And simply ask what we have to do to buy him more time. Think that would work? I am willing to call tomorrow if you all want me to.

great sobe...... I am still trying to find rescues, all breed rescues. I think Nina sent emails to the gr. pyr rescue groups in and around GA. If you feel like searching though, do a search online and see what you can come up with, and email as many as you have the energy for :D
Thanks for helping, I wish these dogs knew they actually have friends out here.
It is late and I have been working with both dog and cat rescue and the dogs on here most all day, now with fever and cold I am feeling totally emotional and feel I might go to bed crying for a bit, thinking about all the poor poor babies out there, that need homes.
In this country alone about 5 million dogs and cats are put to sleep each and every year.

I found another site for rescue <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/3528/. It has an alphabetical list of breeds. I went to G and emailed all the Pyr rescues in the surrounding areas of Georgia.
-
I am on my way to work, I cannot thank all of you enough for the help. I will say prayers all day for him, and hope when I get home and check the bigpaws site, there will be happy news! Shana

I emailed Flordia, Tennesse, North and South Carolina and can't remember which other ones. But Terrry is a rescue person that represents Florida, Georgia and one other state, he is the one that pull the other 2 Pyrs. So hopefully he can help us one this one.

Hi Nina, I am still working on calling some people in Atlanta, maybe I can find one that will help out.

I just got off the phone with the animal control (PLEASE CONTACT COWETA COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL TO ADOPT THIS PET: 770-254-3735 ) and they said that he goes up for adoption tomorrow. When I replied that it said he was to be euth'd tomorrow she said 'he will be up for adoption tomorrow.'
So I am not sure what gives. I told her that we were trying to find a rescue that could pull this animal to safety, to which she replied that he's going up for adoption tomorrow.
I heard back from the Great Pyr rescue in Chicago ( thinking they might know someone I don't ) and while they personally can't pull him I was told they will forward the info to the Great Pyr rescue of America. I didn't tell him I emailed them as well. Figured the more the merrier.
Keeping my fingers crossed
-
Wow not sure what gives with them treating you like that, not very nice is it? Thanks for all the hard work everyone.

I am still working on making calls in Atlanta. No luck so far but I am workign on it.

I cannot express enough my gratitude to all of you who are working so hard for this guy. I cannot believe they said he goes up for adoption tomorrow when it clearly states he will be euthanized! I am so glad so many of you know as much about, as as many people in Rescue. My many thanks to all of you and BIG HUGS all around. Shana

I emailed to the petfinder email underneath the picture as well and this is the reply I got:
<Hi Caroline,
Our organization, Newnan-Coweta Humane Society and Shelter Rescue, takes pictures of the homeless pets in local animal control facilities. We then post those pictures, descriptions and location of those pets (as well as our foster pets) on our websites: www.shelterres cue.petfinder. com and www.shelterres cue.org
That pet is in the custody of the Coweta Co. Animal Control facility in Newnan, GA. Their number is 770-254-3735. Please give them the id number of the pet (it will be eight digits) and they will tell you if that pet is still available. They will also tell you their adoption policy, procedures, adoption fee and driving directions. CCAC is open M-F 8a.m.-5p.m. with viewing of pets 10a.m.-4:30p.m. They are also open on Saturday 10a.m.-12:45p.m.
I would strongly urge you to contact CCAC as soon as possible. Euthanization is done on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
That fella will be avail. for adoption/rescue or even euthanization 8/5. CCAC is a rescue friendly facility. As long as the rescue organization has a GA state issued shelter license, they will just transfer the pet to the rescue group. CCAC will need a copy of the shelter license and a statement saying who will be pulling this pet - those things can be faxed to CCAC at 770-254-3737.
Thank you for your inquiry and we hope this information helps.

I''ve caught more ills from people sneezing over me and giving me virus infections than from kissing dogs.
- Barbara Woodhouse ->
What I would suggest is that someone else calls the Coweta Co. Animal Control facility as well and asks what the status is on the dog and let them know we're trying to pull it. When I asked they said he was going to be up for adoption tomorrow , but now from what I understand from this lady's answer it can either be adoption or euth?? Am I reading this correctly?
The fact that they ARE rescue friendly should help.
Please let me know what else I can do, ok?
-
It is unfortunate that they will do one the three things, it makes me so sad....So basically play russina roulette with this boy. God I hope someone can pull him....If I were anywhere near that area I would call in sick to work and go get him myself....
-
There is a Big Paws rescue in NC that I have been trying to reach, but each time I call it says the circuits are busy. I tried emailing them but it bounced back .
Here is their website: <http://bigpawsrescue.tripod.com/index.htm>
I just figured since they are Big paws and so are we.... Am trying everything to help this guy .
I will keep trying to call them but if someone else can try as well that would be great. NC is not too far from Georgia, plus we don't know who they know that can help should they be willing to pull this dog.
IF I get through I'll let you guys know
Caroline

I sent a messasge to them, hopefully mine goes through, a different area, I don't know. I will check again in a bit before I go to bed, I have to be up at 4am for another long day. Thanks again everyone. I will let you know if my mail goes through. Shana
-
Ok it bounced back says user unknown, not a member, permenant fatal errors. I could just kick something!
-
I found an AOL email for them and it bounced back too. I'll try one more time to call them tomorrow but I am out West so 3 hours behind NC. If anyone else can call earlier then please do so.

Great News I just got an email from Pyrnet
I just heard from Terry Stephanick. She said that they have found
someone to
pull this dog on Sat. I know that the shelter said he would die on
Friday but
like so many situations, if they know there is an option they can be
pretty
flexible. I do wonder if they actually would have put him down on
Friday.
Linda
I asked her to send me the GPCA contacts to that we have a direct line to the rescue people that have pulled this sweet guy. They have saved the last dogs in need that we brought to there attention. Great work everyone!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nina

BUMP for PYR people ;D

I just got an email as well <Thank you, we are making arrangements with the shelter to pull him on Sat.
Terry Stephanick>
I am so happy, can almost cry. This boy is safe!
