these dogs need help!!!!! ASAP!!!! UPDATE 11/9!!!!!!

I think neighbors are feeding the dogs as best they can now. I'll ask my police friend tomorrow for sure. They still need food and care.

I'll keep everyone updated!

Thank you for all your efforts so far. I do know that most all animal control
groups operate at capacity or near it anyway, but through their contacts,
maybe they would have more info on other groups who could help. How about
AC in Vincennes or Evansville? They are close to that area.

I do agree that Petersburg should have more animal resources. You can't
be the only dog person in town. I still think that officials seems to move
a lot quicker to solve problems once the bright light of TV or newspapers
shine on them & their lack of response to animals in need.

A lil update! Some great things have been happening! I'm teaming up with a lady that has law smarts and is a dog lover! We put together a petition to get an animal control shelter here. We want at least 1500 signatures. We have just over 650 now! We have a meeting with the chamber of commerce soon and she will be taking some action in other ways as well. This morning I went out when I walked Brick and took pictures of a ton of stray and unconfined dogs. Dogs that were unreasonably thin, had no shelter, food or water, a chained dog who's chain went as far as the middle of the road, etc.

I don't go to work until 2 tomorrow so in the morning I'll be walking the town and getting signatures for the petition.

A real plus to getting an animal control shelter here is we already have two people aching to be animal control officers....Me and my partner in crime! I could use a second job!


Anyway, we are definatly making headway and the fun thing is the county HAS to provide us a building and such because according to Indiana state law every county MUST have an animal control facility or humane society.

The lady I am working with also made a Myspace page for support. Add yourself if you'd like. Myspace page


I'll keep you all updated!

Well, We almost have all the signatures we need! We also have heard the state has the money for the building we just have to kick the county's butt into gear to start building. We start our first round of meetings soon! I'll let you know how it goes!
