Cindy runs the Chow rescue.
I just realized I left out the beginning story of this nightmare… the dumping of 34 chows as trash:
I wanted to give everyone an update on the 26 now 27 Chow Chows that were dumped in GA. http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-national/26-dogs-thrown-away-on-georgia-roadside?CID=examiner_alerts_article
Amy Young and Lynette White went to the Coweta shelter today to evaluate the three Chow Chows they have. They are going to need some work but they feel they can be socialized and then be placed in loving homes. These three will be spayed and neutered, heartworm tested, rabies and DHLPP shot and wormed. Once this is done they will be going to Amy's. She will be working with them and then they will be transported to my rescue.
They then drove to the Meriwether shelter to evaluate the 11 Chows they have there. They again think they can be socialized and be placed into loving homes. Lynette will be driving to the shelter and begin to work with socializing them. Amy will be pulling a few at a time and will work with them. They will either be placed there or will be transported to my rescue for placement. This shelter is very rescue friendly and will work with us.
Mike from Chow Rescue in GA pulled three Chows and we will work together to find them loving homes.
Unfortunately 6 have been hit by vehicles and died and 4 are still running loose.
We asked the shelter to have them all spayed and neutered, heartworm tested, rabies shot, DHLPP shot and get them wormed. All of this cost $$$ so we've set up a donation page http://chowchowrescuecny.chipin.com/coweta-chows
Desperate Situation - Chow kennel license pulled by Dept of Ag
by Cindy Stone on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 2:39pm
I don’t know if you have heard about the 34 chows dumped in Meriwether/Newnan counties in early March. Chow Rescue of Central New York and others are working on getting these chows pulled from the shelters, vetted, and adopted or into foster care. The current situation is that the Dept of Ag has now gone into the kennels that dumped these chows and has pulled their licenses. The kennel owners have now surrendered the remaining 74 chows to the Meriwether animal shelter. Chow Rescue of Central New York has 30 days to work out some solution for handling these chows.
We would like to line up foster homes with experienced dog people. We don’t know temperaments yet—most of the original 34 were very scared, but neither aggressive towards nor responsive to humans. If you are willing to help, please send an email to Cindy Stone at chowchow@twcny.rr.com , Lynette White at glwchows@bellsouth.net or Amy Young at bytez@hotmail.com with info about how many you might be willing to take in and when.
If you can not foster at this time please consider donating dog kennels, dog bowls, kennel leads, dog houses, dog food and any other item that may help these Chows.
This will be a tremendous financial responsibility for our rescue so we are also asking for donations to help defray the cost of vetting these Chow Chows. You can donate at -
