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.

Well, they don't come much cuter than tiny little Grace. With her bristly coat and her endearing personality, I can't understand why she hasn't been adotpted yet..but she is in danger. HER LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE DECEMBER 14.

Handsome General appears to be a Cocker Spaniel with a long tail. He is very friendly and never meets a stranger...a really nice, stable temperament. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE DECEMBER 15.

B06-779 SHEPHERD MIX-URGENT! NEEDS RESCUE! RESCUED!



This big boy has a heart of gold, despite his broken hind leg. He must have been hit by a car before he came to the shelter. Since he is not showing signs of being in pain, the shelter has allowed him time to find rescue. His leg does not seem painful, but it is not weight-bearing and will not straighten out at all. HE NEEDS A LICENSED RESCUE TO SAVE HIM! HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE DECEMBER 17.

AO6-3551 BEAGLE/LABRADOR MIX-GOOB-RESCUED!


Well, I think the shelter outdid itself coming up with horrid names this time! Such a silly name for such a nice dog. This boy has a sunny personality and is playful without being in your face. HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE DECEMBER 18.

Dear Guy would dearly love to have a haircut! He can't even see due to the knotted hair in his eyes...he is matted all over! But his loving personality is intact..he is just waiting to shine! HIS LAST DAY ALIVE WILL BE DECEMBER 18.

AO6-3552 LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX-GILES-OWNER SURRENDER-RESCUED!
