Any food is greatly accepted! If you are interested in getting some dog food together to help these animals then please post on here!

[hey_hey_sup]

You didn't give the name of the shelter or where it is!! And your location isn't given under your name. Let us know so people can help!

[hey_hey_sup]

The location is in Ohio...Just e-mail me if you are going to donate and then I will give you all of the rest of the info you need:)

[Cincy'sMom]

I guess I don't understand if you want to help these animals why your can't post what shelter it is here. I also live in Ohio and would be interesting in donating, but I think you will get the most responses if you just post the info...or if you don't want to email or PM it to me, and I'll do it.

We would be more then willing to donate. We have a ton of pupy food sitting around and canned dog food thats just sitting in our closet.Just a suggestions, Maybe the Shelter shoudl start tranfering there dogs to other shelters or finding foster homes. Me and my father would love to foster a dog. Or they could even transport some dogs downs here to PA, our shelter is never full and has dogs there who have been there for over 5 months. I know when shelters around here get to many dogs they send them to other shelters, not put them down.


Well anyway :rolleyes: give me the info and I woudl lvoe to send food.

You NEED to be specific, or people cannot help. Shelter name, city and a phone number would be helpful.

[hey_hey_sup]

Umm ok, the name of the shelter is Ohio County Animal Shelter. It is not in ohio(the state) but ohio the county in indiana.We also need kitty litter. (812) 438-9220 That is the phone #. Also there is a lot of other humane societies around here that need volunteers and major donations! One of them had to shut down 3 times last month It is just so hard because there is not enough volunteers and too many pets!...If you would like you can just post here if u want my addy and then u can send it to me and I will take it all over there at one time.

desparate there. Thank you for caring.

[hey_hey_sup]

Thank you guys sooo much this year all year long i am going to be helping the shelters around here out with volunteering(yay i get to clean up dog poo J/K)fundraising and getting donations...

[lute]

hey_hey_sup ,
i wish i could help. i live inly about 3 hours away.yer on the other side of the state.poor doggies:(
it good that we have all the people here that give money to the shelter. even though you are far away.:D
maybe the reason they are hurting is the adoption fee for cats is $3 and dogs are $10.

[hey_hey_sup]

Please post here if you donated and if u did then put how many lbs u donted and i will try and get something special together for you!

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Our shelter charges I think 40 for cats and 100 or so for dogs, of course this is an adoption fee.

I also wondered about the minimal adoption fee amounts,
so I e-mailed the Shelter. Here's the explanation for the low
fees.

"Hello. Thank you for your concern. The fees are set by the County that owns the shelter. We (shelter employees and volunteers) have no say in the fees. Our shelter is very small....only 10 dog runs, 9 cat cages, and 3 wire crates which we use for cats and puppies. Actually our dog adoption fees only used to be $5.00 but the previous dog warden was able to talk them into raising it.
Again thank you for your concern. "

This county Shelter is right on the Indiana/Ohio border. A very rural area.

They should neuter or spay these dogs,this is the humane way to decrease overpopulation of cats and dogs.In my country there are shelters too,and almost all of them are overloaded.
You should speak about neutering and spaying of dogs and cats

[hey_hey_sup]

Ya i know this is a bad rate but all i can do right now is donate do food and stuff...On top of that the shelter is crowded....
There are more than 10 dogs and way more than 9 cats in that shelter...I e-mailed them and asked the e-mail i could get in contact with for the county....They have not replied yet...
