Northtek Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 One of the things that surprised me the most coming here are the amount of dogs without homes. I am not sure why this is, but today I found out that three of the dogs that live in the park close to me are probably destined to be put down because they simply dont have a home. I never had a pet as I traveled to much in the past, but every day I would pass this new litter of puppy's and could not help myself and adopted one of them. Unfortunately today I heard the local residents want to call animal control and get ride of them, aka, put them down. So as a last ditch effort, I am here asking that if anyone has room for one of the last three, please let me know, as I would hate to see these beautiful animals lose their life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsdawgs Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 All shelters are full with hundreds of dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 There are considerably fewer street dogs today than there were even a few years ago. Literally hundreds have been sent to shelters (and new homes) NOB. Local free and low-cost spay/neuter clinics have also made a big difference. There are several no-kill shelters: The Ranch, Lucky Dog, and the newest SOS. That's the good news. The bad news is they are usually pretty full, especially this time of year when the snow-birds are returning and dumping off their 'winter dogs'. There is also a local Facebook group that works to find foster and forever homes for street dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"especially this time of year when the snow-birds are returning and dumping off their winter dogs" That is absolutely horrible, what kind of person has such a callous attitude toward animals?

court0503 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 All the shelters MtnMama referenced above have websites and FB pages with contact info…reach out and hope for the best. They’ll probably ask about the mama as they’re likely still nursing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 What kind of local residents do live near that want to have stray dogs put down ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexijims1 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Definitely try The Ranch. Lucky Dog is usually limited in numbers of dogs they can take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court0503 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 ALL the shelters of course have limits…and wait lists ..but are sensitive to dogs in immediate peril and do what they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Someone here will know how to contact the group that ships dogs north by the plane and busload on a very regular basis. If foster homes can be found until they can be sent, pretty sure this is your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court0503 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Shelters are as mentioned above:: The Ranch, Lucky Dog, and the newest SOS Natasha refers to Bone Voyage , also a local dog rescue group. they do have not a physical facility but rather rely on fosters. They have a FB page and website with contact info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northtek Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Thanks everyone, I have made a list of all the suggestions and will give it to the group that runs the area. Where I am is 100% locals and I am the only foreigner here, so I have still a lot to learn about the way things are done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
