Well before we get into that we want to tell you about our Mascot Mr. Roscoe Cheeks. He is in charge around here. Now I know you must be thinking that he is either one funny looking, ugly dog, OR,
that he is a pig!
Just look at him, he is handsome but he does always have something to say!
Being a Canine Rescue I know you are thinking that a dog should be in charge right? Wrong, you see if there is a conflict of interest between the dogs, they all want to be boss. So, we figured we
would put Mr. Roscoe Cheeks the Pot Bellied Pig in charge and then there wouldn't be any problems. However, pigs just do what they want and don't care much about anything else. I don't know how
fair he might be but non-the-less he is in charge.
OUR MISSION:
Our mission in a nutshell: Help A Hound, Inc. was formed in August of 2009 to help canines of all breeds, age, size, condition, handicap, and geographical area within the USA. We are dedicated to
saving and placing Canines of all breeds, in loving forever homes.
Our concentration is on Puppy Mill Survivors and dogs on death row at High Kill Shelters. We are not limiting ourselves to just these poor dears. We will help owner surrenders, strays, feral, and
abandoned Canines, as funds and Fosters are available. Therefore; you see, we can not do it without your help!
Our focus will include Fulton County animals, as well as other Counties directly bordering Fulton County that wish to enlist our assistance. We are in the process of dedicating appropriate space in order to work with the Fulton County area authorities to serve homeless, stray, abandoned and seized animals. We will accept these animals into our rescue for rehabilitation and eventual placement in to loving forever homes.
We recently completed the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) training required by the ASPCA to facilitate a TNR program in Fulton County designed to bring the Feral Cat population and problem to a more manageable situation. Therby preventing thousands more unwanted, unadoptable cats.
We have in the past and will continue to work on the New York Puppy Mill breeder dogs in. The individuals that we currently work with regarding these dogs are from around the Clyde New York area where the Mills are in operation. These dogs, many which are seniors, will be given complete Vet care and rehabilitation, we will attempt to find homes for them. Placing senior animals is not an easy task. It is a heartbreaking situation for these animals. If they can not be adopted out, they will remain with us in a loving sanctuary environment for the remainder of their lives. We currently have 5 such seniors. They are wonderful animals.
Because of their age families don't want to adopt because the dog has limited years remaining. Understandable, but still heart breaking.
Our mission is to bring public awareness and education with regard to cruelty toward animals, including Puppy Mill operation, and the ways that you can help stop it. Saving these animals is only
half of the battle, for everyone we save 2 are left behind. The ones that are left behind are still breeding litter after litter of puppies.
Every year tens of thousands of dogs and cats end up at high kill shelters throughout the Southern US. The reasons and excuses are many. Abuse, neglect, can't, don't want to, won't, no time, on and
on. Just ONE Georgia High Kill Gassing Shelter in one year received over 7.000 that is SEVEN THOUSAND dogs and cats, 2,058 were adopted out! That means that approximately 4,442 dogs and cats died a
hideous death in the gas chamber. Sick to your stomach yet?
Our mission is to help bring awareness to:
The importance of spay and neuter responsibility for population control
The importance of Adopting and not shopping at Pet Shops (purchases of these animals fuels the continuance of the parents suffering in Puppy Mills)
Proper care for family pets-tips on how to maximize care under a small budget
Help families find low cost spay centers in order to have their animals spayed and neutered
We will do these things, in part, through attending events that bring awareness, our web site, mailings, fund raisers, public education materials and much more.
We are currently accepting applications for Foster Homes as we have relocated the Rescue. Please go to this link to complete the application:
We simply can not do it without your support whether through purchasing from our fundraisers, donations or sending things on our wish list! Please consider donating today, it is a great feeling!
