Rescue Me
Uploaded by: mycatranch
Video Description:
Roicy Duhon Animal Control is located in Lafayette, Louisiana. This video contains the photos of the animals available for adoption as of October 2, 2007. There time is limited, so please do what you can now to help.
There are many adorable kittens in all colors. There are two sweet young cats, Monkey and Blue, who were owner surrendered together. Their only crime was that they were too active, and now they find themselves behind bars.
As usual, the black Labs are present, this time 4 of them. Blackie and his two sons, Noah and Jonah, were surrendered. And Seth was probably found as a stray, but nobody has come for him. These sweet, shiny black boys will have a tough time finding a home, as black Labs and their mixes are just about the most common site on death row and the toughest to get out. So, with Dubois who was held over, that makes 5 of them. The dog that is so in demand in the east, is thrown away like yesterday's newspaper here in the south. It is heartbreaking, and as anybody who has ever loved a Lab knows, a crime, as there is no better family pet around.
It seems that a direct result of getting the word out locally by TV, flyers and email, there is a huge jump in intake numbers. This animal control facitily has already taken in over 8,000 animals, some of those wildlife, but in any event, almost 1000 animals more than ALL of last year. Perhaps the staff is not being brutally honest with these people, or perhaps they don't want to know. Some come in with dog houses, beds, toys, even clothes. These people are living on Fantasy Island, as the fact of the matter is that a very large percentage of the animals entering this facility will die. This was not the case for the two years after Katrina, because everyone wanted to save Katrina animals and their offspring, but it is no longer the case anymore. The overpopulation problem here is astounding. The director made the decision about 1.5 years ago to give those who make it to adoption more time, and the volunteers agree with this as it is impossible to get anybody out in a very few days, especially now. So, these a
doption row residents have a chance to be held over, sometimes several times. But many of the animals won't ever have that chance. They are the faces that we will never see....the bios you will never read. And when one of these on adoption row goes to a home quickly, someone else from stray hold gets to go to adoption row. And, as is true in many shelters throughout south Louisiana, they are animals who would have been adopted, if there was space and time. I pray that one day the people in south Louisiana "get it".

The animals in this video are not Humane Society animals. They are in the local Animal Control facility that we work hard to rescue from. When we have space, we pull some of the animals, get them vetted and altered and put them up for adoption through our Humane Society.
We don't have the space to save them all ourselves, so we make these videos to help get the word out so that others can help save them too. =^..^=
this is sooo sad!
I wish I could adopt all of them!I hate animals dying!
