WE WILL NEVER FORGET

Why? Because Vick is looking for a 2nd chance at adoption because his family "deserves'' a dog. He had many 2nd chances each time he purchased a pit bull for dog-fighting, each time he used an innocent family dog as ''bait'', each time he trained and bred a pit bull for dog-fighting, each time he electrocuted, hung, drowned and shot a dog to death....or how about every time he wrote a check to Bad-Newz Kennels for a dog-fighting competition? 

He admits he did things to those dogs...would you want him to care for your beloved family pet? What about his friends and others who don't seem to care about the basic right to life?

Pledge drives like this one were created on a national level in response to the aftermath of the investigation when it became public information that Vick had full knowledge of the dog-fighting on his property. It is to bring awareness to his victims - all breeds of dogs used as fighters and as bait- which encourage stereotypes about dog-fighting, elevates media hype about pit bulls only bred to attack, and to educate communities at risk of breed specific legislation (BSL).

Sponsored Dogs in Danger of Euthanasia at Shelter

Yes, it's true. 

At least 20 dogs will be put to sleep this week. Just one week after 10 were put to sleep. About 3 months ago, 16 dogs were put to sleep. Each time, almost all were pit bulls or pit bull types. Why? Because people, the media, and breed specific legislation have caused potential adopters to see a monster when they see a pit bull.

This Labor Day weekend Metro Animal Control & Welfare, Casper, Wyoming, received 20 dogs that were found, strays, and surrenders. Legally the shelter is required to keep these 20 new dogs for a minimum of 7 days...which means that in order to accommodate them, they must put to sleep 20 other dogs just to meet the demand.

This morning our President, Lisa Craft, was sent this email from the Director of Operations at Metro:
Lisa,
Just wanted to touch base with you as I am full and was wondering about the dogs that you are sponsoring, I realize that you have invested money in them but we are not even getting nibbles on them and I am being forced to euthanize other dogs when these dogs would have been done based on time, so my question is would it be possible for you to get them out and to a foster home while you try and place them in a permanent home? I know it is hard but we were swamped over the weekend and I have no room again.
Rick Sulzen, Manager, Metro Animal Control and Welfare
We need your help - we need FOSTERS and ADOPTERS willing to take not only our sponsored dogs, but help the other dogs at our kill shelter. We are willing to transport anywhere in the United States. All dogs will be provided a vet check and vaccinations prior to transport. All dogs and cats must be spayed or neutered.

Please contact us at 307-215-3034 if you are able to help with fostering or adopting. Please Like us on Facebook at Paws2Help4Pits and Paws2Help Foundation to see the most up to date information on the situation.

How Brutis (Metro ID#A06893) Follows Commands



Here is footage of Brutis (Metro ID#A06893) and trainer Teresa Fondren. Brutis went out about with us on a walk and then he ate some grass. He was happy to be outside. 

Teresa says Brutis is ...
"A great dog for the jogger/runner who wants a companion to keep up with him."



If you would like to meet Brutis, please visit Metro and ask for him by name...
