Anyone from a rescue group, shelter, kennel in the NE Ohio area, can you help?? Ashtabula County Animal Protective League in facing a HUGE crisis. 40+ adoptable dogs are earmarked to be euthanized in a last effort ditch to reduce overcrowding and budget deficits. This shelter is the ONLY shelter in the largest county in Ohio and takes in over 2000 dogs and cats each year. Monies promised by commisioners hasn't appeared and efforts to reduce the crowded conditions in the shelter so far have failed. I have seen some of these animals personally. They are healthy, friendly dogs in deperate need of homes. Please if you can help, contact me directly for further information. All animals can be viewed at www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH71.html Please help if you can.

how horrible.
i would suggest you use google like CRAZY and search every breed rescue you can find anywhere in the US.
those ppl have connections and can get ppl together to help out.
i would also suggest calling the ASPCA (headquarters) in NY City and see if they can get the word out and/or help get something going.

this is an All breed rescue...meaning they rescue every breed or mutt out there:

Edit:
oh...just thought of this! Call up the local news station and radio station in your area...tell them what is happening and see if they will donate free air time to send out a plea for help...either foster homes or even families to adopt these dogs and cats!
