Subject: Fw: Disappointed in rescues. No Shade, No Water, NO Chance. Now he dies. Jonesboro GA
CLAYTON COUNTY – JONESBORO, GA
OFFICER PHILLIPS PLEADING FOR THIS BOY “BARNEY” – HE IS SO VERY SPECIAL – PLEASE COME & GET HIM TODAY – HE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH – LET’S SHOW HIM WHAT A GOOD LIFE CAN? BE LIKE -
PLEEEZE CALL HER NOW? 770-477-3684
A Shih Tzu at this very shelter came in and was gone in 2 days. They received over 100 calls on her, and rescues literally fighting over the dog. Barney has slept on a concrete floor for OVER a week, and may very well be on tomorrows kill table. The shih tzu of course deserved a chance, but Barney does too. He has the BEST personality, and has been through a lot of abuse, more than most dogs. He requires less vetting as he has no physical injuries. Because the Shih Tzu was CUTER, she is alive and sleeping in somebody’s bed. Barney will spend his last night in a stinky, hot, hard floor shivering in terror tonight. Tomorrow AM since no rescue has even called to see how he is doing, there is a good chance his life will be taken from him. Officer Phillips may be able to spare him until tuesday, but i can not say for sure one way or the other. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call tomorrow AM @ 8 and save this dogs life.? He will be forever greatful. It’s disappointing that this wonderful, young, shelter favorite dog will die because he is big.? He has the BIGGEST heart of any dog at Clayton county.
Barney is in a situation, no pet wants to be. Sadly for him…he has a few strikes already against him.
He is big. 50-60 lbs
He is Black. (but has cute white markings)
He is in a HIGH kill Animal control
The animal control is VERY full.
He was tied out and abandoned… no owner is missing him :-(
His death date has already been set, and he is just basically waiting for it to come.
This being said, Barney still deserves to live. He is a special boy, who in 5 minutes captured they heart of an animal control officer who sees dogs every single day, abused, abandoned, neglected, and hopeless ones. Officer Tiffany Phillips rescued Barney from a short chain, in 98*degree weather. No Shade, No Water, No Life. Officer Phillips rescued Barney from that situation, and knowing his chances of ever walking out of this animal control alive were slim to none, she gave him a hug, took his picture and put him in his kennel.
Barney’s euthanasia date should have been tomorrow AM, but he has gotten a 3 day extension. PLEASE make it worth it!!! If a rescue does not step up, he WILL be on the friday kill list, and a dog who loves people will never know love back. Barney is a VERY well manner boy, with a gentle, calm disposition.
Please don’t let this happy dog who walked in the front door with his tail wagging, go out the back door as dead weight in a body bag.
Officer Phillips Comments:
Please save me, I was impounded by Ofc. Phillips because my owner had me chained up in the heat with no shelter. When my owner found out I had been impounded , he decided to leave me here ; (…Now I hope that I make it out alive… I am a big boy, but very sweet and gentle and did not deserve to be tied up like I was . Please help me find a better life with someone who will let me a member of the family. I am available now but it is urgent that I get out because they are very crowded…All animals adopted from Clayton Co Animal Control must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption. A low cost spay/neuter certificate will be issued to adopting families at the time of adoption. Rescues please have copy of Dept. of Aug. license and permission form if you are sending someone other than the license holder, also picture I.D. All animals posted are at risk to be euthanized at any time due to overcrowding under severe circumstances. All animals are considered urgent after their available date has passed. Please call or come in….Thank you…..
