Winslow dogs

[lute]

I would like to work with another rescue...I've talked to a couple rescues around me. Asking if they could put up courtesy posts on petfinder. I got one rescue in Evansville to do it back when I had Trudy a couple years ago. I've not had any success since hardly any of the dogs I get in town are purebred. Everyone only wants to help purebred dogs. I haven't tried in a while...I may ask a few again.

Yeah, if most of the dogs you have in the area are purebred, I think the process of becoming a chapter organization would be simplified. For example, I know Greyhound adoption groups tend to have national heads and subsequent regional chapters. Hmm...that's tough. Could you talk to the director of the local no-kill and ask if you can become a branch with them? I know our local, private SPCA has a branch in the next county over, and they share the same website and stuff. I have no idea; good luck! I never knew it was so bad over there

The no-kill shelter in the next town is not very cooperative. The woman that runs it is a know it all. She is a real pain to work with. I've volunteered there before and I could do nothing right. I've volunteered at enough shelters, worked at a vet clinic and show dogs...I think I know how to clean a kennel run...Nope...She'd go over each one with white glove...finding everything wrong with it...I offered to bring in a bunch of food I had...Nope. Wrong kind of food. I offered to be a foster home. I was denied because I didn't own my home and didn't have a fenced yard. I'm tellin ya this lady is nuts. She's such a stickler on who the dogs go to she's had the same dogs for adoption since 2001 when the facility opened...It's pathetic.

I think tomorrow I'll get in contact with some rescues in Evansville. Which is about 45 mins from me. There are quite a few rescues there...Hopefully one of them can give me a helping hand. Good idea.

I'm so sorry to see all these poor dogs running around and so many of them with inadequate or no shelter. I wonder if this group in Indiana would be willing to take this little Scotty if you could catch him. They are a group that rescues Scotties and Westies and are located in Martinsville Indiana.
Here is a link to their website: link

This black dog looks like he could be the father of the pups you've got at your house. He has a squarish kind of a head.

It is awful that there are no resources for you in your area to try and get these dogs some help. I think you are wonderful for trying to help these guys, one dog at a time. Hopefully that Scotty can be helped by that group and it would be one less dog.

How many vet clinics are in your area? Is there one that would be willing to work with you regarding a discount for neutering and spaying?

The lady that runs the nearby shelter sounds miserable. She is hindering, not helping. If she had accepted any of the help that you had originally offered, so many animals would have benefited. Hopefully she will be replaced!

Would a neighboring, neighboring town be able to help?

Yes, I can catch the Scottie. He's pretty friendly. I'll contact the rescue in the morning. As for contacting other rescues to assist me. I will contact them tomorrow. I'll try some in Evansville,IN. It's about 45 mins from me. The closest big city.

I agree. One dog at a time. I've tried helping these dogs for many years. I've onyl been able to do so much because no one would listen to me for a long time. I was "only a kid". I'm 20yrs old now s they can't use that as an excuse.lol

I agree, I hope the woman running the no-kill rescue gets replaced. I highly doubt it'll happen anytime soon. I only know of one volunteer she has. It's a 14yr old boy who lives on my block. He's just as stubborn and crazy as she is.
