:( :( :( :(
This is an HORRIBLE place for this dog to be....
How could any pet owner do this??? I am so angry....:( :( :(
Can we come together to help him??? He is just a baby.

Answer:
Most of these dogs are someones pets that got lost, are house trained, playful, young, and homeless. They will be gassed if no one adopts them in 3 days. Please help us save these wonderful pets. IF you would like to volunteer, please email petpaws4u@aol.com. Volunteers are needed to take pictures of the dogs, post them on 800 save a pet, give them a ride to our local vet for and exam and annual shots, and sometimes help bath, and socialize them. Help them catch a ride to their forever homes or a rescue group. Simple things that mean alot to saving a dogs life.
Please read:
"Our volunteer went Monday to take pictures. AGAIN Mr. Shamrock is
refusing to cooperate. Mr. KEating was notified, and he refused to
believe it, wanted us to have witnesses. Why do the commissioners or
the HR Director refuse to believe us? We have no reason to lie or make
up stories. We either have pictures outside the runs or we don't.
Pictures don't lie!
The ones we have now, we took off the wardens site that are out of the
cage. We are again, not allowed to take pictures out side the wire
cages. Mr. Shamrock claims there were not enough people there. But
the prisoners were there and they offered to hold the dogs for
pictures. Mr. Shamrock chewed them a new jump suit, and they are not
allowed to help us, but they are allowed to walk the dogs anytime, but
if they have the dogs out, they are not allowed to let us take pictures.
What is wrong Trumbull Co Citizens with this picture? Do you see your
well paid pound staff trying to foil any rescue attemps so they can
continue to enjoy gassing the dogs?
What is the purpose here? Mr. Shamrock loves to gas the dogs, don't
believe his sob story, he wants the dogs all adopted? If he did, he
would help with pictures no matter what, so the dogs would have a
chance to been seen on line and possibly adopted and not gasses.
OH YES< MR> SHAMROCK has lots of lies he tells the commissioners and
the HR Director, but no one believe he LIES. What makes him above
everyone else? He has a record in his personel file, but no he
wouldn't lie."

That is very sad. I could imagine that the family may not be able to afford the surgery, and so as a result, they are giving him up for adoption. Way to go pet store for selling dogs from a BYB.:mad:

Answer:
THIS POUND IS AWFUL, but there is a group of volunteers that work with Trumbull. Believe I saw them on Petfinder. If you can save this PB Lab or any other dogs there please e-mail April Jean!!!!!
As bad as the staff is there, the girls have learned to not get them upset, because they will only take it out on the dogs.

Could we possible post this urgent boy in the other rescue thread?
Maybe just this one time because he is a purebred?

Answer:
I just posted this puppy's story in the other rescue section...(I hope it was okay)
Hoping some of the rescue people will see it.

I know Laurie...I just can't get this puppy's face out of my head...he is absolutely no chance at this horrible place...:( :( :(
I guess we need to put the blame where needed and that is with the owners of this dog...
and of course, the pet store where this dog was purchased...:mad:
and this poor innocent dog will have to pay the price because of it...it is so unfair....breaks my heart.

Answer:
April Jean:
Do you know if this dog's medical records were also turned in with the dog?
It would be very helpful to rescues if they knew the extent of his hip problems.
Can you possible get this information and let me know?

Answer:
Also...is there anyway you can possibly find out the name and address of this dog's Vet? Does anyone have anyway to get in touch with the original owners of this dog?
Please read Jill's response from the other thread:
Has anyone found a way to contact the former owners? If nothing more, they could give you the vet's information, and the vet would probably tell you (or a volunteer, whoever calls) once the vet knows that the animal has been surrendered to a shelter. In fact, you never know, the vet may actually take the dog and do surgery at a discount for a rescue (if it is a surgery that is needed and/or the vet is capable of performing that surgery). Vets really hate to see their patients dumped in shelters. If you are in touch with any of the volunteers, see if they can sneak a peek at the paperwork that came in with him.
Until more is known about the extent of his condition, it would be difficult for someone to commit to him because of the possibility of a big expense, so get in touch with any point of contact that you have at the shelter and see if they can get more info somehow. They may even know the vets in the area and they could call the ones who are most likely to have had him as a patient. Our animal control officer in TX found Homer's vet by calling the vet across the street to see if he was a patient. If they know the owner's name, that would help in such a search.

Answer:
Does anyone have the phone number of the Trumbull County facility? I need to find out if any rescue has jumped in yet as I may have transport for this guy to the northeast where we possibly could get him into rescue and a foster home. Thanks all.
