Help Needed for Ten Dogs In San Antonio

Is there anyone out there that can help out?



Dear Friends,

With this e-mail, I am sending ten photographs of dogs currently impounded at Animal Care Services Brooks City Base Facility. These photos were taken this afternoon by Rita and me. ALL are extremely friendly and SWEET SWEET dogs. ALL would make excellent and very sweet pets ... they're non-aggressive, get along w/other dogs, very people-oriented, etc. We also feel that all of these dogs are or were owned by someone. They are in good condition, healthy weights, sweet personalities. How they became lost and impounded is always a mystery, but they are there and need help.

The situation is this ... Animal Care Services is finally re-instating an ADOPTION CENTER at the main facility on Highway 151; however, to do this, the Brooks City Base facility will house only "bite observation" dogs and other dogs deemed not quite as adoptable for whatever reasons. There is not enough space at the Hwy 151 facility to hold those dogs and still have a designated "Adoption Center". Everyone agrees that a designated Adoption Center is direly needed there.

There will be a transition of approximately one week, where dogs currently impounded at Brooks need to get out of there ASAP or be killed. While the transition is underway, it will be impossible to hold dogs any longer than their required 72 hours no matter how adoptable they are :( The photos attached with this e-mail are of ADORABLE dogs who will be killed at 8 A.M. this Saturday morning (January 22)unless they are able to go to either rescue/foster care or adoption. So, if there is anyone out there in cyberspace who would be able to take in any of these dogs (either by rescue, foster care or adoption), you MUST contact ALL of the following people (listed below) on FRIDAY, preferrably before 6 PM, but just write or call PLEASE ... it would be a crime for any of these precious dogs to loose their lives just because there are not enough homes. Please contact Peggy below ... and BE SURE to include the ID# of the dog you are interested in ...

2) ID#A152785 male, 2-year old Poodle (a CUTIE!!!) Helga's Grooming on Culebra Rd often does grooming free of charge for Animal Care Services so this might be an option on this adorable fellow ... he is very clean, but probably needs a simple haircut ...

4) ID#A152833 male, 3-year old Schnauzer ... this sweet dog is just adorable in person ... such a love bug ... we believe him to be a purebred, even though his tail isn't docked ... his tail just gives more of him to love ...

5) ID#A152844 male, 3-year old Fox Terrier weighing about 15 lbs. He is smaller in person than he appears in his photo! He is a small dog. A precious sweetheart ...

8) ID#152837 male, 3-year old Flat Coated Retriever? mix (smallish medium in size) We aren't really sure of this sweet dog's breed mix, but suffice it to say, he is a gorgeous dog with a shiny black coat, thick, silky and wavy. Photographs do not do this sweet dog justice, so you must meet him in person ... HURRY PLEASE!! His time is up at 8 a.m. Saturday morning :( Don't let him die ...

9) ID#A152863 male, 2-year old Australian Shepherd with a docked tail! In his photo he doesn't look "aussie" but HE IS. What a sweetheart. You will love him!!

10) ID#A152825 male, approx 4-year old wire-haired Terrier mix weighing 32 lbs. This sweet dog is SO wonderful. All he needs is a trip to the groomer's (again, Helga's Grooming on Culebra Rd might be willing to help out) This sweet guy's tail just never stops wagging. He loves people and is a little lovebug. He has a bit of an infected anal gland and Debbie has him on antibiotics. He'll do fine, that is not a big problem and is quite common with some dogs.
