From
Christine Mandy:
Sunday
October 19, 2008
Five vehicles
wound up making the trek to the Montreal SPCA, four full to the brim with
"donations", to bring home some of the dogs in their care resulting from
the two recent puppy mill seizures. Due to the size of these seizures and
the number of dogs removed, the Montreal SPCA had to open a special
facility to house them. Fortunately, we were able to bring back 32 to
Kingston, from a tiny Jack Russell up to and including a Harlequin Great
Dane who drove back to Kingston loose in the back of Mandy's car!
The sad news is that we
had to leave many dogs behind. There is a room full of wonderful German
Shepherds in all sizes and colours who typically are among those most
often left behind. There is also a very tall male St. Bernard, a black
male Great Dane, six Bull Terriers, two Huskies and a couple of French
Mastiffs all looking for people! If you know of any one interested in
fostering any of these dogs, Krista would be willing to organize drivers
or phone ahead to ask that these dogs be released to her rescue (Krista is
ultimately responsible for all the dogs brought back yesterday) for people
to pick up and foster themselves. As you are no doubt aware, these dogs
may not be spayed, neutered or adopted until the legal system gives the go
ahead.
Last but not least,
please spread the word... We are making an appeal to the community to
consider helping with the medical expenses that these dogs will incur. An
account has been established at the Lennox and Addington Animal Hospital (Napanee:
613 - 354-1020) and cash or credit card donations may be made directly
and/or cheques may be made out to The Agility Connection for
deposit to this account. When it comes time, all these dogs will need to
be spayed and neutered and many dogs need to immediately be treated for
various types of infection such as ear and skin, etc. Their medical care
is going to be ongoing and the bills will soon reach proportions where
Krista alone can not, and should not, be expected to bear all the
responsibility. I am asking as Krista has never and would never ask
herself.
Thanks so much for all
your contributions and donations. To say that the volunteers and workers
appreciated the donations and opportunities given to 32 dogs yesterday is
an understatement!
Out of bad has come good
and fortunately we have seen the best brought out in many people over the
last few days, including the volunteers and workers at the shelter
yesterday. Lets keep that spirit alive!
I am providing Krista's
email address and phone number with her approval but please be patient and
leave a message if you don't get through at first:
