Buttercup is at a temporary place right now. But is looking for a rescue to take her. Please do not call and harass people! That is why some info isn't released so people don't harass everyone...this makes people and organizations not want to help next time if they are being harassed. However, if you are a rescue and can take Buttercup then please let us know.

This is very sad, but it looks as if Buttercup will be euthanized...

We have been trying to find her a rescue for quite some time now. We even raised enough $$$ and got her SPAYED & FULLY VETTED, but it looks like that may have been a waste, since Buttercup's time is long up and we have no options for this wonderful girl. She has been in a Minnesota pound for a veeeery long time and although they have been patient they are letting us know that Buttercup needs to go.

I thought that i'd send out one last plea for Buttercup's life. Please, please pass this on if you know any good, responsible rescuers who may save her. We are super sad about this, as Buttercup doesn't deserve to die... Buttercup is 1-2 years old, spayed & vaccinated, sweet, loooves people & gets along with other pooches but does not like cats. THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT... :(

I guess that even though it looks like we will not be able to save her, at least maybe she will be remembered by some...

To be able to help all of these dogs (nearly 90 of them!) we are helping to place them all into great rescue organizations so they can go into loving foster homes to be socialized, have all of their medical needs taken care of, and be rehabilitated before they will be adopted to fabulous forever families. Please help by choosing to sponsor a dog.

The Paws for the Cause website is all about letting people know what we are doing with animal rescuing and rehoming, and developing a program to help people spay/ neuter their companion animals...

We understand the inconvenience this may cause some tenants but it is the Board’s positionthe incidents and altercations far outweigh the benefits. We apologize to the responsible tenants;however, we feel this is the best procedures to deal with the situation.

ND: Found very thin female black and white pit bull/mix? will be euthanized Thursday afternoon if no rescue group will take her. She was found so thin you could see her spine but in spite of that she still crawled into the finders lap and wanted to be cuddled and give licks. We are in desperate need to find a place that will take her! Reply to:[email protected]

ey everyone, please, PLEASE help!!! This beautiful boy is currently in a local impound and his time is up- Rocky will be euthanized on Friday!!! Rocky is an adult at 3-5 years old- they don't know much about him, but he's very friendly with people and seems fine with the other dogs at the pound (has not been cat tested). He needs some leash training but he should be easy to train since he's eager to please! Rocky is a favorite of the kennel workers and they really don't want to see him euthanized... Can anyone please save poor Rocky??? He must go to a rescue that will neuter and do a home visit prior to adoption and must adopt as an indoor dog only... HELP!!!
