Holiday Blessings to all my Flickr friends.
I did not have time to do a holiday card yet.

Email title for the email that contained this photo: BARROW COUNTY~WINDER GA - EUTHANIZATION DATE CHRISTMAS EVE 12/24 - TONS OF HIGHLY ADOPTABLE CATS/DOGS - MANY PUPPIES TOO!
-----
Please remember all the shelter pets in your prayers this holiday season.
----> DID YOU KNOW????? Many are euthanized before Christmas so the employees can have off and not have to care for them. Please add a shelter pet to your home if at all possible. With the current state of the economy, the shelters are being over run with pets that people are no longer able to care for.
~ ~ ~ And every chance you get, be sure to help educate people about the pet over population crisis and the need to spay and neuter and " Dont shop..... ADOPT! ~ ~ ~ "

NOTE NEW HOURS: Wednesdays, SATURDAYS, and Sundays – CLOSED to the public (but they can still correspond with people on Wednesdays); other week days – OPEN 8-5. Call ahead before coming out around holidays.
WHAT ARE THE FEES?
The process DOES NOT have to be completed in person! ADOPTION – $100, INCLUDES spay/neuter, basic exam, vaccinations, and microchip! RESCUE – FREE for GA licensed rescues! Out-of-state rescues, please contact the shelter for details. NOTE: ALL adopted animals are transported to Four Paws Animal Hospital in Statham, GA, to receive discounted care and are picked up by new owners / agents from there. The hospital also has a boarding facility. The phone number is 770-725-PETS (7387).
HOW URGENTLY IN NEED ARE THE ANIMALS?
Call AND e-mail BEFORE 8:30 A.M. on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24. See contact information above. Generally, animals are subject to lethal injection after five (5) days of impoundment. Injections typically occur on Wednesdays, but because the shelter becomes SO FULL at times, they may occur more frequently. Contact NOW!
WHAT ANIMALS ARE AVAILABLE NOW?
The following animals are NEW since the last post but may still be "extra urgent" due to their being at the animal control at or beyond their typically allotted five (5) days and/or are owner-surrendered. Such animals are therefore subject to lethal injection at any time.
Many photos in each email our rescue gets.... begging for help. Here are the captions from the photos.
Pen 1 – Adult male, red pit with cropped ears; very sweet—a real kisser.
Pen 2 – I called these three lovely young ladies "The Three Musketeerettes." I think they may all be sisters: two black and white and one brown and white. All beauties. All sweet.
Pen 3 – Beautiful portly beagle mix looking for a loving home. She seems used to being in one, too, as she is obviously not a street dog. Sweet eyes.....
Pen 4 – Young male pure bred Basset hound, very friendly and wants out sooo bad! Won't you take him home for the holidays?
Pen 5 – Adult male shepherd mix. He's large but loving, looking for the right situation.
Pen 6 – Black and white male - pointer mix? - Gorgeous! Already dressed for the holidays!
Pen 7 – Adult female, reddish in color; a quiet and sweet, reserved lady. She didn't bark but whimpered when I walked away. :(
Pen 8 – Brindle pit female I think. A beauty!
Pen 9 – Adult male chocolate lab, very handsome...love those eyes....
Pen 10 – Adult male Aussie, beautifully marked. Possible rescue pending. (lets hope!!!)
Pen 11 – Adult male, rather large Shepherd-looking and very sweet. I spoke with the animal control officer that brought him in, and he said he had to carry him because he kept rolling over in a display of submission with his legs in the air. Please give this big sweet lug a second chance—he certainly deserves it.
JACK RUSSELL – sweet female - adorable!
SHEPHERD PUP – possible rescue pending? (lets hope!!!)
