Saving Spalding Pets

I am part of a volunteer group of people dedicated to rescuing animals awaiting death by "gas chamber" methods. These are the animals at one such shelter, the Spalding county animal shelter in Griffin, GA.

AO6-3381 LABRADOR RETRIEVER/SHEPHERD MIX-BAXTER-RESCUED!


Baxter is as friendly as they come. He is just a young guy, about a year old and would love to be the beloved pet of some lucky family instead of waiting here to die. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 28.

AO6-3395 LABRADOR RETRIEVER/DOBERMAN PINSCHER MIX-NEED HELP, PLEASE! RESCUED! THANK YOU ANIMAL ACTION RESCUE!



This poor fella is need of some groceries! I can see every bone in his body and there is not an ounce of fat on him anywhere. He was picked up as a stray, so there is no way to know HOW he wound up in this condition. Despite his neglect, his spirit is intact and he is a friendly guy. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 29.

AO6-3390 CHOCOLATE LABRADOR RETRIEVER/DOBERMAN PINSCHER MIX-BEAN-ADOPTED LOCALLY.


Bean has the build of a Labrador with the beautiful color and markings of a red Dobie. He is one active boy, leaping and twirling in his cage to get my attention. What a comical guy! HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 29.

AO6-3391 BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX-BENITO-VERY SICK..RESCUED!


Benito is just a good ole Georgia black dog with a heart of gold. Can't you see how sweet he is in this pic? He was sooo happy to have some attention that he just wiggled all over! HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 29.

AO6-3396 SHAGGY TERRIER MIX-BRITCHES-ADOPTED LOCALLY.


Britches is a young adult male. He is one of those "Disney dogs" you find so often in the shelters. I don't know what his breed mix is, but he is adorable! He was very frightened today and was not really interested in interacting with me, but may be more social outside of the scary shelter. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 29.

AO6-3401 BORDER COLLIE/BLACK LAB MIX-CHEYENNE-RESCUED!


This girl is just a sweet, sweet little baby. She is only about 8 months old. She had just been brought in by the ACO and was shaking like a leaf, but warmed right up to me when I spoke to her. HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 30.

AO6-3344 GOLDEN RETRIEVER/COLLIE MIX-ANNIE-ADOPTED!


Annie was found as a stray by someone who kept her for a while, but then decided a dog is too much trouble; so Annie was dumped at the shelter. She is a senior, at least 10+ years. She has been shaved in a terrible version of a lion cut. When grown out, it looks like her coat will be long and fluffy, with classic sable and white markings like a Collie. I am sure Annie is missing her original owners, but if she cannot be returned to them, she deserves to live out her days in comfort and security in a new home. Please help her. HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 21.

AO6-3352 BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX-ALLIE-RESCUED!


This girl seems to posess all the qualities black Labs are loved for: good looks, sweet temperament, fun-loving. She is only about a year old. HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 21.

AO6-3356 SHEPHERD MIX-ANNIS-RESCUED!


This handsome guy is listed as just 6 months old. He is pretty laid back for a puppy and has a happy, playful attitude. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 21.

This big boy is only about a year old. He has the size and ears of a hound and is a shiny black and tan color. He has a gregarious personality and seems to be very social. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 21.

AO6-3264 MALAMUTE-SHEBA-RESCUED!


Apparently Sheba showed up at someone's home, wearing an ID tag. When the person listed on the tag was contacted, they said that they used to own Sheba, but had given her away and didn't want her anymore. So off to animal control she went. Sheba is not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside, too. HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 14.

AO6-3265 CHOW CHOW-KEVEN-RESCUED!


This boy may look imposing in his picture, but in real life he is quite comical. He looks like a Chow whose body has been put on legs that are too short! This handsome fella was abandoned at his home along with a Doxie companion. Of course, the tiny Doxie was adopted, leaving this poor guy all alone and in danger. He is very friendly and obviously likes other dogs. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 14.

AO6-3276 DUTCH SHEPHERD MIX-OWNER SURRENDER--CAMO-ADOPTED!


Camo is a 7 month old NEUTERED male. He has a beautiful long, brindle colored coat. His owner was an elderly woman who found Camo to be too strong for her to handle. He is a very sweet boy who just needs someone who can keep up with him! HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 14.

BO6-760 BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX-RESCUED!


This girl is about a year old. She has the shiniest black coat and the sweetest disposition. She is about 45 lbs only, so a Black Lab in a smaller package! HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 16.

AO6-3276 MAINE COON/PERSIAN MIX?


This big girl is just skin and bones under all that hair...I was told that flat-faced kitties have a hard time eating if they can't smell their food, so the shelter has started her on canned food. Despite her poor condition, she is a very friendly girl. HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 14.

Jay is one good looking boy. He came into the shelter with a chain collar on his neck that was so tight I had trouble getting it off...good thing he was not still growing!

AO6-3219 POINTER/DALMATION MIX?-RESCUED!

AO6-3218 GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER MIX-RESCUED!


This little guy looks just like a GSP, but is just not big enough to be pb, maybe a mini GSP?? He is extremely shy in the shelter, but responds well to quiet, gentle persuasion...a very handsome boy, about 2 years old. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE NOVEMBER 9.
