2008-07-30 just got off the phone with another sad situation.
A homeless man and his dog were living in a car until a week ago when his car broke down and left him totally stranded.
The Christiansburg (VA) Baptist Church have been helping him, but now they are reaching out for additional help. Lee
adores his dog, Little Bit, however, the dog is badly in need of medical care which Lee can't provide. Currently
no shelter in the area can be found that accepts dogs, plus Little Bit needs medical attention. I'm asking you all
to please help us help this man and his dog. Please print the attached flyer and put up in your work place or any
other place that allows postings. All donations designated for Lee and Little Bit will go to them for veterinary
care, food, and housing. Again, thank you all for opening your hearts in this bad economic time. Sincerely, Carole Adams, President The Mosby Foundation I'm asking you all to please help us help this man and his dog. Please print
the attached flyer and put up in your work place or any other place that allows postings. All donations
designated for Lee and Little Bit will go to them for veterinary care, food, and housing. Again, thank you all for
opening your hearts in this bad economic time. Sincerely, Carole Adams, President The

 ALERT FROM KINSHIP CIRCLE SUPPORTER / PLEASE CROSS-POST:
6/13/08: Katrina/NOLA Rescuer Dead.
Her Animals Need Help!
FROM KINSHIP CIRCLE:
We are shocked and dismayed by the untimely death of devoted New Orleans
rescuer,
Linda Potts. For the last 15 or more years of her life, Linda
trapped, rescued and brought hope to homeless animals.
Please help Linda’s
surviving companion animals...and/or forward this to others. Kinship
Circle
ALERT FROM / REPLY TO:
Charlotte
Bass, table25@bellsouth.net
Linda Potts, longtime rescuer and resident of New Orleans'
Holy Cross 9th
ward neighborhood, was found dead in her gutted home on June 11, 2008. Linda
volunteered for ARNO as a feeder/trapper and assisted many other New Orleans
area
rescue organizations with assistance in the field.
Linda, age 49, lived with her pets in
a FEMA trailer next to her gutted
home. Her death was officially classified as death from 'natural
causes' as
police report that there was no evidence of foul play. There seems to be
conflicting opinions from neighbors -- as well as suspect evidence found at
the
death scene -- but the important thing right now is to get Linda's pets
rescued and into
foster or permanent homes.
LINDA’S LEFT-BEHIND BABIES... CAN
YOU FOSTER OR ADOPT?
Currently five animals are being held at the LA/SPCA and have been
transferred
in name to ARNO's foster/adoption program. We thank the LA/SPCA
for allowing these pets
to be housed for one week at their facilities. It is
paramount we move these pets to foster
homes quickly, as LA/SPCA and ARNO
have zero space at their respective shelters.
1. Blackie
Large...a handsome black lab who is just waiting for his next command...
a
good, good dog.
2.
Lucky
Small...a precious white
terrier mix, who reportedly is on daily heart meds.
Scared, shaking a little, but sweet... just doesn't know what
is happening.
3. Dixie
or Trixie (uncertain about name)
Medium...a beautiful cream/red color, not sure of her name yet, a sweet, but
scared girl who obviously misses her
Mom. Possibly a collie mix?
4.
Tuffy
Large...will
be the toughest to place... This old man is blind (no eyes),
and almost deaf. He is just an old, handsome pit mix. He
was protective of
Linda while living in the FEMA trailer, but seems to be quite gentlemanly at
the shelter with
strangers handling him. I am not sure Tuffy gets along well
with other dogs, as Linda never left him alone with the
others.
5. The only
cat...
...Though there was a black one whom the police
saw run away... This guy is
not exactly happy, but we all know how cats can be... He looks nice and
healthy, too.
I will try to find out his name.
TO FOSTER OR ADOPT ANY OF LINDA’S PETS, CONTACT ARNO:

OR

Beaulieu, ARNO Shelter Director
504-913-2328 cell & voice mail (texting is fine, too)
These pets have been through
a traumatic event, had no contact with anyone
for at least two days, then were picked up when
the police called it in.
Please help if you can...so Linda can rest in peace...

When cross-posting INCLUDE PHOTOS so people can see these sweet peas.
-
If you’re fostering and not able, ARNO will list these pets on
PetFinder,
and we’ll help any way we can.
- We’re trying to find the vet who
has their records, but if they need
inoculations or health certificates
we’ll gladly do this at no charge for
anyone willing to foster
or adopt.
- We will also neuter the males after we have a foster or permanent
home.
- All medicals at our vets included with accepting a pet into your home.
- No adoption charge, but an application and vet reference are required.
- Rescue groups: We’ll need a copy of your adoption application, contract
and vet reference.
for the animals,
always, Charlotte Bass Lilly

Justice For An Animal Rescuer
Target: Frederick County Assistant
Commonwealth's Attorney Glenn Williamson We need your help to stop a miscarriage of Justice! The Assistant Commonwealth's
Attorney in Frederick County, Virginia is attempting to prosecute Alla McGeary (a well-known and well-respected 60 year old
animal rescue volunteer) for trying to save a young Doberman Pinscher named Stella, and to potentially charge Alla under a
FELONY charge. It's a shame animal cruelty cases are not pursued as vigorously. We need your support and your voice now.
In the spring of 2006, Stella, a young stray
female Doberman Pinscher with a front leg deformity (known as lobster claw) was placed by DAR&E (Doberman Assistance,
Rescue & Education) with a veterinarian to foster. This placement proved to be totally unsuitable for her. AFTER
9 months in this foster home, DAR&E finally removed her from the negligent situation and placed her with Alla McGeary.
Within days of removing Stella from this negligent foster home, the same Board of Directors of DAR&E reversed their decision
and decided to allow this same foster home to ADOPT Stella. Alla McGeary, who was Stella's foster parent, refused
the adoption based on the months-long demonstrated sub-par care, coupled with the negative Home Visit report and numerous
other documented statements made by those involved in the 9 months that Stella was at this foster home.
Alla stood
up for Stella as was her right as the Foster Parent. For this, she has been arrested; her house, car and outbuildings
have been searched and her civil rights have been, and continue to be, violated.
DAR&E (who by their own numerous
admissions may not even be the owner of the dog) obtained an Arrest Warrant by making a sworn statement to a magistrate that
they did own the dog in question.
DAR&E has also been negligent with the care of other dogs placed with them
by shelters.
DAR&E has protected and made excuses when one of their own was charged with animal cruelty and
neglect.
This story is long and we strongly encourage you to go to
http://www.mypromisetostella.com/ to read a more in-depth account of what has been taking place.
There are many reasons to sign this petition.
You can sign because you want to support Alla McGeary in her fight. You can sign because you love animals. You
can sign because you support civil rights and the fair application of those rights. You can sign because you abhor the
justice system being hijacked. You can sign because taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund a personal vendetta.
Please support us in our fight for JUSTICE.
