Permission to cross post and forward to as many as possible!


. . . . . . Urgent .... Springfield Mo. Pound .......



The only chance the following animals have to get out alive is based on what you and your contacts are
able to do. Yesterday was so heartbreaking .... a fellow rescuer and I were parked down the street from
the pound just chatting ... truck after truck went down to the kennels, shortly after they each left ... then
the white pick up truck drove by with the back end filled with plastic bags on the way to the landfill! Were the
dogs that I wanted to post here on the truck? I felt so bad not getting this note out sooner to you all ... I called
the pound and these were all spared .... another chance!

These are the dogs that were not chosen as first choice by CARE ..... leftovers? NOT A CHANCE .. these are some
of the very best and we need you to help them Walk out of the pound .... NOT .... in the back of that truck to just be
dumped at the landfill!

There is no holiday for the dogs ... Please tag ASAP to save their lives!

# 219-0626 ..... Female Chocolate Lab ..........

This special girl was running wild and frightened
for 2 days in the 95 degree temperatures ... to
make matters even worse it was in my neighborhood
and I could do nothing to help her. It's a miracle she
didn't get hit by a car. Kudos to the ACO that managed
to get her to the pound .... Now on to safety! Please.


Hmmm..... due to "technical difficulties" the remainder of the dogs will be attached
and listed .... Please help us save these guys ...

Refer to the numbers listed below the pictures.



A wonderful caring person has offered "Sponsorship" money to help get
# 309 to safety!
