[Gpdd] [RESCUE] URGENT

[DL1Bossfan at aol.com]

Hi Everyone:
Many of you have already heard of the rescue situation in upstate South  
Carolina that occurred on May 4th.  There were 93 animals removed from a  lady's 
single wide trailer.  Over 60 were piggies.  The Spartanburg  Humane Society 
took all of the animals in.  During this time, there has  been an outpour of 
love and concern from wonderful people, many of  whom are digest subscribers.  
Two fellow digesters opened their hearts and  homes to many of the piggies.  
Others have donated money, food, and  hay.  I have never met most of you - but am 
 proud to call you my  friends.  I am posting this evening with another 
URGENT plea.  There  are still 20 plus piggies at the shelter.  I had a phone 
conversation on  Friday with one of the employees there.  The following is the hard 
 truth:  euthanasia has been discussed as space is needed.   Apparently the 
shelter can not refuse to take a pet that is dropped off - that  is why the 
shelters stay so full and the numbers don't decrease.  If any of  you know of 
anyone in the Spartanburg ,SC area wanting a piggy, please contact  Lisa at the 
SHS.  The number is (864) 583-4805 ext. #110.  Leave a  voice mail and she will 
return your call.  Also anyone knowing of rescues  that may want piggies - 
please pass the number along.  Please remember, the  SHS is doing what they can 
for the piggies, and this post is not meant to  provoke an *attack* of words 
or to down them in any way, shape, or form.  I  will also add that the SHS is 
well aware of the *uglies* of the community that  might want the piggies for 
reasons other than to provide loving homes for them,  so please only pass this 
to people that you know have the well being of the  piggy in mind.  Time is of 
the essence, and these piggies need loving,  caring homes and a chance for a 
happy life.  Thank you again, and I  apologize for the length of this.
Donna - Tom, Huck, Big Jim, Becky, Thatcher, Aunt Polly - and in loving  
memory of that special boy from SHS "Trooper"
