This kind of action is what Dawn Bechtolds group is fighting. There was a photo of what looked to be a purebred GSD pup around 10 weeks old in this group of missing animals!!! We can only pray that they euthanized them instead of selling them to class B dealers or straight to the laboratories. "Connecticut rescuers turned away by GA animal control officer from shelter where they are being killed, or are they? Many animals have all but disappeared that were deemed to go to rescue up north. There is a group of women that work with a local GA animal protection agency U.S. Animal Protection with the group animal shelter reform a campaign formed by U.S. Animal Protection to stop the cruel killings and reform shelters by documenting cruelty that occurs behind the walls of these shelters. When rescuers attempted to save these animals the rescuers were told they could not save them because this shelter had problems with someone up north. This licensed organization never had problems with the shelter or its aco. This group of women had put credit cards up for vet care and were ready to transport these animals up north to pre adopted homes after the aco said he would transport them to the vet, he then changed his mind again about sending them. It seems every time rescue tried to acquire animals from this shelter it was impossible. Are these animals being killed or something worse? Could these animals perhaps be being sold under the table to class b dealers or labs? Where are these animals going? Or are they being killed instead of sending them to families that would love and care for them." Dawn Restuccia __._,_.___ .
