               Dear Friends of the Animals -
                
Long story - short                version.  Ben went on vacation and the Police 
Department                (since it is a city pound) was supposed to feed and 
water the                animals.  Apparently, they didn't - or, if they did, 
it was                not adequate.  Several dogs and cats died from            
    starvation/dehydrat ion - among which were a Boxer (which had to be         
       put down because of its starved condition), a purebred Jack              
  Russell and two cats.  Others were so sick they had to be                
euthanized. 
 
The vet is coming tomorrow (Friday) to                put down others.
                
               Their web site is:
               http://www.petfinde r.com/shelters/ MO215.html
                
However, the Petfinder                site is not up to date.  Some of the dead 
dogs/cats are still                on there.
 
There are two Westies that Westie rescue is                trying to help; two 
Bloodhounds that we are told are being looked                at.  But, there is 
an awesome Rottweiler girl, several Labs,                and a Pit Bull girl 
(about a year old, full grown and weighs only                25 lbs.) that are 
still alive and need a fast save.  Also,                there are two Mastiffs 
that rescue is looking at.  But until                they are out of there and 
safe, they are still in crisis.                
 
If you can help any of these remaining dogs and                cats, please 
CALL Ben right away to put a hold on them. I                have not talked 
with Ben, just with Tracy (in the e-mail below)                and others who 
have talked with the folks there.                 
 
First things first.  The remaining animals need                all the help 
they can get.  Since it is a pound, emphasis is                not placed on 
adoptions/rescues.  Ben and Tracy and the                handful of other 
volunteers do their best to save as many as they                can - but they 
do not have the support of City Council or the                local media.  
Given the circumstances, it is probably fair to                say the Police 
Department doesn't feel responsible for what                happened in Ben's 
absence. 
 
We will need to network                together on transportation for the 
animals being                rescued.
 
This is such a tragedy and is totally                without excuse and should 
never have happened.                 
 
But, there are still animals that need our                attention.  Both Ben 
and Tracy are willing to help in                whatever way they can. 
 
Let's roll up our sleeves,                folks, and see what we can do to help 
save these remaining                FRIENDS.  The contact people are:
Ben

417-396-9032
                              OR
               Tracy
               Volunteer
               417-499-2751 
                
               God bless the animals and the people who love,                
respect and care for                them
