5 of the 7 dogs that I have been helping a poverty-stricken woman from Third Ward take care of … dogs have been taken in by BARC.  I got involved with feeding them, getting them tick & flea preventive, giving Ivermectin injections to each of them after I started fostering the five sarcoptic mange pups that lived with them.  One by one, I have been working on getting them well & free of sarcoptic mange, so that we can first get the females spayed… and now … a death sentence ….  The owners had been breaking the leash laws & not having the funding to take care of the dogs properly, but I have been doing my best to bring them bags of food & tie outs.  These poor souls are now at BARC, completely unvetted & definitely all heartworm positive.  I fear for their lives & am sending a plea to all of the no-kill rescues I know to see if they could possibly pull one dog & take them in.  … please make a donation online –nothing is too small. …  I am emotionally invested in these sweet dogs & each and every one of them deserves the chance they had never received by have been adopted into a poverty-stricken neighborhood.  The poverty-stricken owner has until Wednesday, 01/25/12 to get the dogs out at $213.00 a pop—not a chance she can afford it.
