On June 4, 2024, Chai, a brown and white ‘pitty-mix,’ was surrendered to Columbus Animal Care & Control Center in Georgia. The reason for surrender was listed as ‘no room.‘ After her family left, Chai watched the door, waiting for them to return. They didn’t.

Still, she was one to two years old and had her whole life ahead of her. And through the agency that is supposed to give dogs like Chai a second chance when things go wrong, she could find a worthy family — one that would give her the life she deserved. This was especially true for a dog like Chai, described on her paperwork as ‘affectionate’ and ‘playful’ and good with everyone: cats, dogs, men, women, kids, and strangers.

Unfortunately, that didn’t protect her from being killed by pound staff — and killed in a manner that was unprofessional, uncaring, cruel, and potentially illegal.

Our letter to the Mayor and Members of the Columbus Council calling for accountability and reform is here: https://bit.ly/4crVsdV.

Update: The veterinarian who defended Chai’s killing, including her killing by heartstick, has resigned.

Meet Moose, the very charming (and a little silly) 3-year-old mix who is ready to bring joy and adventure into your life! Moose loves making new human and canine friends, showing off his tricks, and being gentle when taking treats. Moose would love to meet the whole family before going home. If that sounds good to you, let him know!

I just got this email about Sweetie. Everyone at CCAS is trying desperately to save her life. If you can help, let me know or call the shelter where she is. You can save her life if you are willing to help.

Hello,

I am a foster with the Cumberland Co Animal Shelter in Fayetteville, NC, and one of the shelter dogs is an estimated 4 yr old female brown brindle Pit Bull Terrier Mix who is HIGH RISK for euthanasia due to space.

She was an owner surrender and is housebroken and knows basic commands. This beautiful dog was in foster care for the past two weeks while she recovered from a doggy cold but is back at the shelter now that she’s recovered and on the euthanasia list because of limited space at the shelter. She needs to be rescued or adopted STAT or will be euthanized for space. CCAS currently has NO space!

Would your rescue be interested in potentially rescuing her? She’s a gorgeous dog that needs a second chance!

Here are notes about her from her previous foster care who said nothing but great things about her!:

-knows basic commands

-listens well

-playful

-loves getting belly rubs and cuddles

-will snuggle up right next to you on the bed or sofa

-has a curious but sweet personality

-eats well

-fully housebroken (never had a single accident inside)

-does well inside if she needs to be left alone for a few hours during the work day

-friendly with all people

Here is a link to her post on the Friends of Cumberland County Animals Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CCACanimalfriends/photos/sweetie-a412003-video-in-comments-this-super-sweetheart-is-sweetie-she-weighs-59/920196780142724/
