Bent, not Broken
Help us help those that need more ...
Helping animals doesn’t just mean taking easy cases and collecting adoption fees. It also means reaching out to shelters when animals require more than a traditional shelter can provide. It means extra veterinary care, extra time in foster care, extra efforts finding the right kind of home. Buffalo Humane has recently reached out to help a number of animals that simply did not have a future at their shelter:
Who says these kitties are “unadoptable”
Working with Feral Cat Focus and Operation PETS, Buffalo Humane offered to house a number of “unadoptable” kitties from the Wyoming SPCA until homes could be found for them anyway. Some will need barn homes, or will need to live with other free-roaming kitties in cared-for colonies. Some just need a home where they can be shy and hide when strangers come over. But ALL deserve a chance at life. With the help of our people willing to adopt the “unadoptable,” along with financial support to get the veterinary care they need, these animals are proving that they are, indeed, adoptable after all.
Bent, but not broken
Hoarding is a horrible mental illness. And all too often, defenseless animals pay the ultimate price – with their lives. A recent case involving the seizure by the City of Buffalo of numerous small dogs living in horrible conditions is a case in point. Buffalo Humane took a trip down to the city shelter to see if we could at least take some of the dogs. They sat there, cowering in the rear of their cages, shivering, ungroomed & matted, fearful of any human contact. We assessed the group, and took a few of the dogs with the expectation that they CAN be rehabilitated, but it will take some time.
Now that each is out of the shelter, they are in a home environment where their long road to recovery will begin. Time and patience will be key. Working on their fearful behavior will involve love, forgiveness for their “accidents”, and faith that they will finally learn to trust again.
We need YOUR help
These special cases take an inordinate amount of resources. They also take time, lots of supportive supplies, and specialized care. Adoption fees do not come close to covering the costs for all that they need. But, YOU can help turn around these animals’ lives . . . and help us SHOW that they are not hopeless, that they too can find forever homes. With extended care, behavioral rehabilitation, expanding love and positive experiences with people, we can change these dogs’ and cats’ lives forever and for the better.
Won’t you help by giving to our Bent Not Broken Campaign? Please chip in and give a little bit to support our efforts for the most hopeless, the most forgotten, those who will need the most. We ASSURE you, these animals WILL recover . . . with YOUR help.
Thank you!
Just One Day Event Planning Meeting
Working to Save the Savable ...
Saturday, April 7th, 3pm - 5pm
Buffalo Humane Education and Event Center
7007 Campbell Blvd.
Pendleton, NY
Happy hour, refreshments & social networking following the meeting
No Kill Buffalo-Niagara calls on all area shelters, rescue groups, veterinary professionals, and members of our community who care about animals to help us organize a major No Kill information and adoption event so that on Just One Day, no savable animal dies. Across the nation, shelters are pledging to focus on adoptions and working with rescue groups instead of euthanizing savable animals. Euthanasia technicians are putting down their syringes and picking up cameras, so instead of euthanizing animals, they will be photographing animals and posting them near and far to find them homes. Rescue groups are pledging to work with shelters to take animals who may need special care and rehabilitation. Hopefully, on Monday, June 11, 2012, across the nation, we can show that No Kill is possible, that there ARE options for all savable animals. If shelters see they can do it for Just One Day, perhaps they can do it Tuesday, June 12 for Just Another Day.
Toward this end, we will be holding a meeting on Saturday, April 7, 3-5pm, at the Buffalo Humane Education and Event Center, 7007 Campbell Blvd, Pendleton, NY. We need people and groups to work on the planning of this important event. We envision a major informational effort on Sunday, June 10, to kick off this national day of saving lives - Just One Day - on June 11.
Calling on . . .
- Shelter representatives and volunteers to work on getting THEIR shelter and euthanasia technicians to take the pledge<
- Rescue groups to pledge support for shelters who need their help to save animals
- Veterinarians and veterinary technicians, to spread the word and pledge no killing of savable animals for Just One Day
- People in the community to push adoption, rehabilitation, volunteering, donating
Please join us to help us plan this important event. Our community CAN work toward a No Kill future!
