ANIMAL CRUELTY

27/07/2023

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

This is TORTURE

This dog can not adequately use the restroom.
There is no shelter from the elements .(3 walls and a roof)
There is not adequate space for food and water.

This is what the owners of the dog who attacked the woman yesterday did with their dog as “quaritine”. It doesn’t matter what this dog did, this dog does NOT deserve to suffer.

This is showing the life this dog has. Her owners have FAILED HER.

This doesn’t excuse what happened, but this shows why this dog doesn’t trust humans.

GRAPHIC PHOTOS:

Dog attack on a women walking down her road in the neighborhood she lives in. Dog has been roaming for over 2 years with neighbors constantly complaining about containment.

This woman was attacked by an unprovoked female dog who walked up calm showing no signs of aggression which quickly turned into a bite with a 3cm deep , 4 cm wide wound on her leg. 7 stitches later and high risk of tissue damage.

This dog has had NO VETTING. A male dog that also roams who is fed by neighbors who refuse to claim due to the high aggression of the male dog also was involved by taunting and lunging at the woman.

Thankfully she was able to get away when the female dog released her grip and male did not attack. This female has had 4+ litters that we have been made aware of. Currently has puppies over 8+ weeks that roam as well.

Nuisance complaints have been reported. This is NOT the first bite case. This dog and brown dog have bitten before but no police reports were filed.

Upon arrival of police to the dogs owners residence the dog attempted to attack the officers.

A ticket was given and the dog is to be quarantined at its residence for 10 days.

We NEED animal control.
We NEED better ordinances.
We NEED our community to do the work.

We have voted in new members in government. It is time the public speaks up. It takes more than 3-4 people to fight for change.

Thank you for W/C SO for their response and urgency in the matter. They ensured protocol that Wilco does have was enforced to the best of their ability.

It is going to be very cold today and the rest of the week. With rain comes cooler weather. Please make sure your kiddos have adequate shelter with a doghouse (3 walls and a roof), pine straw /hay, heat lamp, fresh water & dry food.

Our founder Alexis Poole who does the leg work for WCAC with transports to rescue, fosters, connects locals with rescues, feed strays out of their own pocket and so much more is need of our communities help.

Their dog Blaze was bitten by a water moccasin in their yard tonight in 3 places. Her chest, mouth, and snout.

She was rushed to Southwood Animal Hospital where she was treated and sent home with medications but is not completely out the clear yet.

Pawsome Southern Rescue is helping them with the bill, but we estimate it’s going to be costly. If you can, please donate to the rescue under Blaze. Or you can call Southwood Animal Hospital In Warner Robins and donate to pawsome’s bill for Blaze.

NEED RESCUE

Abandoned female sweet possibly early pregnant

23/03/2022

We were reached out to by a good citizen who has a colony of cats. Most are feral but this pregnant mama is very friendly.

In some cases rescues can take domesticated cats and their kittens. It’s kitten season everyone. There is a spay/neuter program in Wilkinson, Baldwin, & Cochran.

Because of last minute space, dedicated people who have cared for her and are TNR her previous feral litter this sweet mama who is blind in one eye made it to her foster home lastnight.

Do your part. Spay/ Neuter. If you feed them they will stay and are your responsibility.

ACTION NEEDED TODAY on HB 1450, the GA Safe Outdoor Dog Act
Please send a POLITE email to Chairman Dickey of the House Agriculture & Consumer Affairs Committee, asking him to please put HB 1450 on the committee’s agenda. Use “HB 1450, GA Safe Outdoor Dog Act” in the subject line. (GA residents only, please)
[email protected]

“Crossover Day” in the GA General Assembly is March 15th which is the deadline for a bill to pass the House or Senate to remain active.

Dog hit at Sandy creek/ balls ferry church dumpster. Still alive we were told but no 100% as it’s been hours passed. Pitty mix white and grey. A flock of feral dogs was nearby.

Unsure if feral or not will not let people approach or touch without growling. If this is your dog please go get.

*PLEASE REMEMBER we are NOT animal control nor rescue. We are ONLINE networking for help ONLY. If you can help please help. If not please keep negative comments to yourself.

A year ago today we were able to reunite a family who had been seperated for too many years. Grateful he’s doing well!

A final update on the pup we affectionately named James.

Hours were spent making calls, knocking on doors and typing updates in attempt to find his owners. Volunteers worked around the clock, frantically trying to finalize the pieces to provide him lasting peace. Finally, when his pain became too much for him to bare and he began displaying reactivity, our heavy hearted volunteers made the drive to sit with him, as he took his final breath.

We will accept no negativity for this decision. Euthanasia is never an easy choice and quite frankly, not one our volunteers have ever had to make. Our desire was to continue hunting for his rightful owner, however we would have been acting against medical advice. James’ pain was excruciating and to wait to give him rest, would have been cruel.

Countless tears have been shed for a pup we hardly knew, but one we loved, because his gentle soul needed us.

James was someone’s dog. He was well trained, had a recent nail clipping and a flea collar. While under weight, his medical condition would have depleted his desire to eat more than a few bites. We understand this.

Thank you, for each share, each message, each positive thought. Thank you to the deputies who sat with him until volunteers arrived, for the dedicated team killing themselves to track down his family and to the volunteers that cared enough to stay with him.

Goodnight, sweet boy.

STAND WITH US. DEMAND FOR ANIMAL CONTROL. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

A call to action. For too long, Wilkinson County has struggled with animal welfare issues, having no where to turn and no one to help. Our resources have been

10/02/2022

Update #2: There seems to be confusion on this pup. We’d like to clear this up.

WCAC received a call from Wilco PD advising that a dog had been hit and needed assistance. They had received a call from another organization, advising that an aggressive dog had been hit by a car. Deputies went to the area and found him. He displayed no aggression, but seemed drawn towards men. When our volunteer arrived in scene, she began assessing him, also noting no aggression. After calming and realizing he was safe, he stood- obviously in pain. Volunteers stayed with him, walking him on leash for well over a mile, hoping he would lead them to his home. After stopping in the middle of the road, volunteers opened the door to their vehicle, where he hopped inside. He was taken in to temporary foster, while our team searched for rescue. Critical Care for Animal Angels stepped forward, offering to meet us at their vet to have him treated for his injuries. Before this meeting took place this morning, a young woman stepped up stating that she believed this pup belonged to her grandfather. We reached out to CCAA, letting them know this, they then posted the owner had been found.
We asked for proof of ownership, investing before we turned him over, the photo returned was of a Rottie, but was clearly not him.

Later this morning, his breathing became labored, he was rushed to another vet where they immediately began care. Beginning with x-rays, we were devastated to find the extent of his medical concerns. The x-rays revealed him having Osteosarcoma. For those unaware, this is a malignant and extremely aggressive form of bone cancer. The vet further believed that he was not hit by a car, though others believe he was.

Despite this information, we agree that he cannot be allowed to suffer as he is in extreme pain. We are desperately seeking his owners, as they should make this final decision. IF anyone knows his owners, please have them reach out. If he was dumped because they didn’t know what to do- there will be no judgment, but we need to know.
Please continue to share. Time is of the essence.

====

Update: Please continue to share as we are still looking for owners. He is currently at the vet to address his injuries. We are unsure how he came to be in this position so until we have the full story our priority is to get him stable, and find his owners. please check comments for flyer to spread. Thank you all!

Seeking this pups owners. Appears to have been hit by a car and needs immediate care. Please contact us immediately, as we are not a licensed rescue.

Over the weekend we received a call about a mama dog and her newborn puppies at a known dumping site in Irwinton. We recommended them to contact Paws and Claws Humane Services, Inc. to assist. Paws and Claws went out, removed the puppies and transported them to Pawsome Southern Rescue.

WCAC worked with the local Sherrifs office, Road Department and friends to get a trap, assisting with keeping an eye out for mama. When we put the trap out, we thankfully caught mom & then her pup from a previous litter within a few hours later.

We are grateful for the deputies who helped keep the dogs safe until Katie’s husband Peter could pick up and take to a fosters home locally.

Mama and pup both have mange and are scared of people. We trust they’ll turn into great dogs once they put on some weight and over come their skin issues. ♥️

Mama, pup, and the two newbie puppies are now safe with fosters.

You know that dog you got as a puppy? Yeah the cute puppy that grew out of its cuteness, the one you threw outside, then took down a dirt road near a dumpster ? You thought it’s just a dog, it will survive.

Here is your dog DEAD.

Border Collie black and white Male roaming off the fall line bypass past few days. He is wandering in and out of traffic. IF your please contain.

This is what happens when people abuse and mistreat animals with no animal control to enforce cruelty laws.

Poor pup had mange already. It didn’t deserve to have boiling water thrown on it face for eating where it’s been fed for many months.

The citizen’s continue blindly following those with county seats who sit and do NOTHING. Give money with no proof of anything in return. THIS is what happens.

We will be your voice even when those try to keep us quiet and spread lies.
