Help the Last dogs of Tylertown...

We are searching for individuals or organizatians that may be able to take one or more of the remaining dogs at Tylertown or still in the hospitals from Hurricane Katrina.

Here is a list of what still needs placed. I can send a picture of any dog upon request.

We have nineteen dogs that are here, some since October that are available through our trainer program. They are all making great progress, some are now living inside and crate trained and are responding well to the extra attention. Some of these dogs have turned in to totally different dogs since being brought inside. Their names are Bo, Niblet, Diamond Jim, Clarence, Deputy, Alex, Man, Spark Plug, Meatball, Shamrock, Reebok, Sheriff, Ballsy, Obed, Vanna, Bunker, Allie, Bruno, Princess and Rascal. Some of these dogs with pictures are also listed on our website. Our program includes coming here and spending time with the dogs and help with expenses.

We also have an older dog that an owner just asked us to take in. It appears to be a border collie mix and is in need of eye surgery. His name is MJ and he is very friendly, but having a hard time trying to figure out why he is here and not in his home anymore. –a vet in Florida just volunteered to take this old guy.

We also have 25 dogs that were left over from Celebration Station….they are….

6-- seven week old puppies that have been in a foster home---I think we have these covered.

2 puppies that are now about 4 months old.

2 adult TVT dogs that just completed their treatments of Vincristine.

Two adult dogs at SAF, Elsie and Dixie they are very attached to each other.

An older cocker spaniel mix, named Dixie, that needs cage rest for at least 4 weeks she just had both rear knees done.

And 12 other very friendly adult dogs that were returned from a shelter that had a poor adoption rate and were unable to place them. We have 5 of these dogs living in a group run together, we have two more of the females living with Man and Heimi and we have a black shepherd mix living inside, three of the 12 dogs are probably under a year old.

If you can in any way help us with just one of these dogs it would be greatly appreciated. We can provide transportation.

We would love to send you pictures of the dogs upon request.
