Shelby CTY KY Urgent!!! Overcrowded. Need Firm Rescue Committment, Adopters

Euthing starts this week without rescues or adopters
From e-mail
The big boss says the numbers HAVE TO BE CUT DOWN. No one is crying wolf here. The AC does not have a choice unless the numbers decrease thru rescue or adoption. Otherwise they will decrease through body bags of dead animals leaving the shelter. Please help if you can or send to anyone who may be able to help.


"Thank you so much for your interest in the well being of our shelter in Shelby County. The email copied in below was sent out on Friday. Our shelter is in MAJOR trouble.

HELP! Past urgent transport 4 cats and at least 10 dogs KY to NY, MA, and CT 7/31-8/1Share. Yesterday at 8:39pm
Folks,

This is desperate time again! We are still waiting to hear if 2 rescues will pull or not, but, I had to get it out…so, this is a temporary like run sheet. IF Pets Alive and/or Baypath do not pull then legs 12 and 13 will be unnecessary except for leg 12 to get Roxie to Westfield, so leg 12 would be come just one dog. I’m sorry for the tentativeness again, but, we need to move dogs if we can. So, as of now we need 3 drivers per leg, but, may need to add one if we add too many more dogs. Please respond ASAP but understand there may be some slight changes.

So, keeping that in mind, if you are not able to drive, please consider cross posting and forwarding.

Thanks!

Molly and Marguerite

Hi all,

Marguerite and I are desperate! We need MULTIPLE drivers and these sweethearts MUST move THIS weekend. The shelter is packed to the gills with dogs and cats. We will have moved 71 animals out of the shelter since Thursday, but, alas, they are still filled. Without this transport there will be animals that will go to the Bridge, so it is IMPERATIVE this goes. All animals will have collars with ID on them, but, you MUST bring your own collars and leashes or bring slip leads as the collars are not good quality and the snaps will bread easily. All dogs will be UTD and

***ALL WILL TRAVEL WITH HEALTH CERTS!***

We are asking for 4 drivers per leg. If you will please, to expedite the process, send the following with your willingness to drive:
Please provide the following, even if you have already driven for us before:

Vehicle description w/ license plate number:
