animal rescuers - resources - support

Andrew, Jr. · 04-07-2010, 09:53 AM

In Baltimore City, there was a Saint. He intervened when a group of children were spotted throwing rocks & bricks on a puppy. The puppy was saved. And now the puppy is being treated with tlc and his wounds are being addressed. The Saint wanted no publicity, no cash reward, no nothing. All he asked the media to do was to get the children who did this to turn themselves in. We will see.

My neighbor who had to put down his elderly shepard last year called to see if anyone adopted the dog. If not, he put his name on the list to adopt the puppy. It is a pitt bull mix.

i work with rabbits/squirrels [as you know, the department of natural resources], and live with pigs. all of these animals have the sharpest of incisors, and require hard items to chew- proper pellets [oxbow], hay cakes, and hay/grass, plus toys [bird toys can be given to rabbits/pigs]. if there is malocclusion, i would suggest having the bunny be seen by a qualified exotic pet vet.

lately, incisors have been a topic of conversation- between a friend who lived with a sweet rabbit, the lady with whom i work [d n r ], and the guinea pigs. don't let me get started on the claws [smile].

only have a moment, but i wanted to share with you all [especially you, kimbo], that i received a telephone call early this morning from the Chief Officer Herself. she was so impressed with a conversation on case # for the horses, pigs, and cats, and my committee getting food/vet care for the animals, after i spoke with the officer a few days ago.

Chief Officer has asked for a meeting with me [we scheduled for the 19th at 2 P.M.], and really wants to work in partnership providing food to the animals in need throughout this county. her officers are on the road each day, and come in contact with people who could use the help. i promised her that the three people i plan to accompany me to the meeting will not be involving themselves in any of the past issues between the humane society and animal control facility. i made my intentions very clear - moving forward, mending fractured relations, and focusing on helping the animals. one of the people i invited to join me is a new board member for the humane society, and she has not any of the old troubled history between the HS and AC.

good news part two - the animal advisory board will consist of seven members- AC, HS, vet, community member, commissioner, attorney,
& law enforcement. these meetings will be Open to the public- yay ! and, the Chief Officer of animal control shall have no voting power.

i am happy today. thank you kimbo for your support during the process- and to everyone else who has followed, and cheered on my committee to bring the animal control in my county into the 21st century.

best,
belle
