Don't Let It End Like This! The Animals NEED YOUR LEGAL HELP RIGHT NOW!

It is with a heavy heart that we report the Loving Home Rescue and Adoption was shut down on by Greenville County Animal Control, who seized ALL of our animals, based on the complaints from a person who volunteered one day at the shelter. Apparently, upon seeing sick cats, the volunteer made complaints to Animal Control. Had this person voiced their concerns to us, we would have told them that the animals in question were being medically treated by our Vet (who had been to the Rescue that same day). Unfortunately, Animal Control did not bother to confirm with our Vet that the animals were being treated and removed them all. And to make things worse, they ended up euthanizing fourteen of the cats they seized and told us to sign over, so they could get “medical treatment.”

The dogs they took are still alive (we hope) and we want to get them out of there! Many of the animals they took are disabled, or seniors with medical conditions and we worry that they will not survive the stress of being misplaced.

We are reaching out to you in our GREATEST hour of need to ask if you can donate to our cause. We have hired an attorney and we will fight these allegations in a court of law in front of a jury of our peers. However, attorneys are costly, something a non-profit 501.3c, NO KILL animal rescue operated by a disabled VET does not have the funds for. Please contribute in any way you can!

• Urge them to return the animals to Loving Home where they will get the loving care they deserve and not killed because they are not the cute little puppies and kittens that everyone wants to take home.

• Contact the newspapers and local television stations and let them know what’s going on.

• Please spread the word about this awful situation to everyone you know!

A RESCUER’S CREED

I shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that deserves in animals. I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death. I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last days. I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that do we walk in each other's paths. I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and to the beauty they bestow upon our souls. I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds when they bleed, cradle them when they whimper, and comfort them when they mourn. I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need - a companion and friend when the time has come. I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms. From the creatures of the earth I shall learn the fruits of compassion and undying love, and I shall be called the beloved of God. In their company I shall indeed be blessed. -Susan M. Pearson
