Madison Alabama Pet Adoptions No Kill Non-Profit Animal Rescue 35758

I've had pets in the past as I know many of you have or do and you know the unconditional love and companionship they provide.  It really kills me to see animals neglected in what ever form.  Not properly cared for, abused or abandoned because the owner couldn't afford them or couldn't take the family pet with when their home was foreclosed on.

Madison Post Office

 

 

 

 

Earlier today I had to stop by the Madison Alabama Post Office to post a few items that should have gone out a couple of days ago and the last thing on my mind was pet adoption especially when entering the post office.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jane Locklin

I did not adopt a pet partly because they didn't have any available Dalmatians and partly because it's not fair to the dog that I spend so little time at home, but I did make a donation to Jane's No-Kill Non-Profit animal Rescue/Placement Organization.  We talked for a moment then I went on my way.  It took me the thirty steps or so to my car to realize that I could do a little more than just put money in a pot with little more thought.  So, I grabbed my camera from the car and went back to talk to Jane and ask her permission to do a blog post about her rescue shelter.

It turns out that there is no actual shelter, but rather a support system of foster care givers keeping the adoptable pets in their own homes until new families are found for the dogs and cats.

The rescued animals are neutered and spayed, given proper shots and checked for worms, rabies, leukemia, feline AIDS etc....in short well taken care of and ready to be adopted.  Often the vet bills are more than the adoption fee of $100.  Jane currently has 9 kittens ready for adoption living with her and her husband.  Jane used to show dogs and has been involved with pet rescue for the last 20 years.

Adoptable pets plus lots more

 

Unless the post office wouldn't allow the pets to be on site, I think it was a mistake not to have them there...after all some of these little guys are pretty cute.

Nick what a great post!  How kind of you to donate and take the time to take the pictures and write about it!  But I wouldn't expect any less from you.  I know what a kind soul you are.

Debra-thanks but stop...we wouldn't want people thinking I'm a nice guy!

We've read some awful stories of animal abuse here in AR...I'm a soft touch when it comes to neglected pets.

Nick I am not a pet person, but I hate to see animals abused.  These organizations do a great job.

George-I read a post by another AR member about young pups that were left behind in a foreclosed house in the middle of winter...the dogs were found froze to death...makes me want to strangle the people that left them.  I know folks are having a tough time now with the economy, but there's no excuse for that...none!

Dawn-thanks for saying that, but I do it just to get attention from the ladies and see it worked...two of my favorites showed up ;) 

On a serious note, I have a lot of respect for people that adopt rescue dogs.  I did a post a while ago about a lady who rescued one Great Dane and because that went so well she adopted two more...that's like allowing three small horses into your house and life...now that's a commitment.

Nick:

This is such an important service that you are providing by showcasing this rescue operation.  Too many people are abandoning pets during the foreclosure process. It is a very sad state of affairs. They need to know that there are options available and take responsibility to exercise them.

Nick what a good guy you are trying to help with the rescue of these animals.  I am not a pet lover but I have two dogs at my home that were abused.  I couldn't stand the thoughts of someone hurting them.  Good for you for trying to help these guys.

Laura-how cruel is that to abandon a pet that depends on you for it's very existance!

Claudette-yes there are options...and exactly what happened to common sense or caring about something beyond yourself?

Diane-thanks, it's not so much that I'm a pet lover, but like you I don't want to see any animal neglected or abused.
