Jeanne Develle <jdevelle@gmail.com>Hello Friends
I was traveling to Avery Island
(Louisiana) yesterday with my family and we spotted and rescued these two little
dogs on the side of a busy highway. There was a third who wasn't so lucky.
I rescue animals in California, but have little to no contacts here and
really need your help.
Avery is a tri-colored Beagle
approximately 15 pounds and two years old.
Pepper, who we think is her pup, is
between 6 months and a year. She is about 10 pounds and looks like a
Doxie/Beagle mix. Both are females. Pepper was not faring well with
the stress and the elements and it looked like she has Demodectic mange
(NOT Contagious and easily
treatable) I can elaborate on this type of mange if you are
interested.
Here's the "kicker"! We had to
bring them to a shelter as I had no where to put them. THE SHELTER IN NEW
IBERIA, LOUISIANA (approx 2 hours from New Orleans), DOES NOT
HAVE A VETERINARIAN ON STAFF, NOR A VET TECH! It's literally a
shelter. They are at least warm, watered, fed and now
safe. The hold time is 5 days, then they can be put up for adoption or
euthanized in order to create space for arriving animals.
Here's how you can help: please forward
to anyone and everyone you know in
town.
