Animal Rescue In Livingston Parish
WARNING…GRAPHIC PHOTOS !!
For about a year now , we have been searching for a way to give back. How can we help. How can we make a difference…..that is why we wanted to let everyone know about an animal resuce that took place this past week in Livingston Parish.
“Small Animal Rescue” went to assist a humane society representative – there had been a complaint that at an address there were over 60 animals in horrible conditions on the property and the people were calling themselves breeders. Their idea of breeding was simply seeing dollar signs only….there is no other excuse for the condition these animals where found in. Due to an error of court order papers not being ready, the breeders were not arrested and/or fined. Nothing happened to them….”Small Animal Rescue” volunteers did convince the property owner to at least release approximately 10 dogs to be taken off of the property for care and adoption. I could hear in the volunteer’s voice when I spoke to her as she left the property it was with a heavy heart that she left the other animals behind. I tried assuring her she did all she could do and only good things would come from her efforts.
What is even worse is the fact that this is the second resuce at this location. These so called breeders were visited by the Humane Society once before about a year prior. At that time, they found over 200 animals is despicable shape on the property. Nothing was done to the breeders at that time also.
So, we have decided to step in and try to help out as best we can. We have esatablished a chip in link to accept donations for the treatment and care of these animals. 100% of all donations will go straight to the “Small Animal Resuce” to help these poor pups. Any money will be greatly appreciated…nothing is too small. Just follow the following link : http://faithfulfriends.chipin.com/faithful-friendsf
If you don’t feel comfartable donating money, they are in need of supplies (ie. dog food, etc.) to take care of the animals. Just contact us and we will be happy to pick up any donated items and deliver them to the resuce.
The pictures below show just a few of the animals and their conditions….
This lab and dachshund were literally starving too death…the lab is being placed with a foster home who is trying to slowly work with him to gain his weight back. The dachshunds are at the rescue and being worked with to get back to a healthly weight.
All of the pups generously received checkups from local vets….to explain the dire situation these dogs were living in…the vet said they had no heartworms or intestinal worms because they were in too pitiful of shape to even host the worms. There literally was no protein on the dogs to host even a parasite.
The chihauhau pup below was taken and was so malnourished that you could not even tell that she is very advanced in a pregnancy. At least the litter, will start life out on a loving track.
The poodle below is only five years old….it only had one tooth left in it’s mouth, nails were overgrown to the point he could not walk, and was so severly matted did not know until a vet examined him that his hip was totally out the socket. He never grimmaced even in severe pain. Unfortunately he was beyond being saved and had to put to sleep. Members from Small Animal Rescue cleaned him up , clipped his nails, and gave him a proper burial so he can go where he will no longer suffer.
Any support you can give us including prayers will be greatly appreciated…
