Thread: This is what I do

    I found the dogs when I was within a couple of miles of my house in the little obsolete town of Winnesoga, Mississippi. The mom and pups were within a block of a railroad crossing there. I rousted two local households and was told that the dog was a stray and been being fed with table scraps. Upon enquiry I was told that the animal shelter had been called, but the people were told that the shelter did not go into the county outside of the city limits. The sheriff's office was called, and the people were told to call the animal shelter.

    Our local shelter is called the Corinth Alcorn County Humane Society. Their website is www.cachs.com.

    There has been a turnover in management at the shelter, and the reports I receive are not good. Of course, this is heresay only. The previous management did an excellent job of tracking down calls and complaints, and adopted animals out all over the country, but I am getting reports from local vets and their technicians that the current shelter management is actually adopting out animals that have not been properly screened (shots/neuter, etc). This could be wrong information. I hope so.

    I have personally delivered scores if not a few hundred animals to this shelter and have always had good cooperation in the past. I have not dealt with the current administration so I may be completely wrong about them. They haven't met me yet, but I suspect that they will soon.

    I have to say you are an amazing man. I wish I were closer to help with mom and pups, I have a soft spot for black and tan doggies.

    Are they still at your home, are you finding homes for them by yourself, or?

    I called the animal shelter, and they have agreed to take the pups. I shall deliver them Saturday. The mom doesn't stand a prayer of being adopted, and if the shelter agrees with my assessment then, ..., well, then I guess I just got myself another dog! ...... ... .........

    It's great that the animal shelter will take the pups, although they'll miss their mom, and she'll miss them. Do you have a guess on their age? How's the little guy doing who was so quiet? Are they all eating, drinking, pooping?

    I left for work this morning at 5:15 am and haven't seen them since. Surely they will be okay until I arrive home around 5:30 pm. But mom was up barking at me this morning as I left, so it looks like she is going to be fine.

    All pups were moving around and eating and drinking when I left. They woke me up a couple times during the night, so ...

    I may need some good drugs to make it to the end of the week {{{Oh boy is someone going to bash me for saying that! }}}

    And did you ask about pooping? Didn't I mention? Are you kidding me??? There was poop. A lot of it. Everywhere!
