Re: [pyrnet] Fw: Re: Pyrs in Texas SAVED!!

["Linda Weisser" <lmweisser@attbi.com>]

And I hope that this message and the quick work of TGPR conveys the message
once again (I know better than to think that it could possibly be permanent)
that the BEST place to go with this kind of problem is to the organized
rescue group in any area (or to the GPCA coordinators).  What is clear to me
here is that the original panic post was incorrect in stating that TX rescue
was (or would be) unable to help.  If this had gone to Laila to begin with a
lot of worry and "hysteria" could have been avoided.  And, BTW, nearly every
organized rescue has big problems when these things to go public internet
lists *before* they get to them.  It can massively complicate their work.

=================================


I am happy to inform the general public that the pyrs previously listed
in Texas as needing help are being saved in a joint coordination efffort
by Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue, Inc. and the Kerrville Humane Society.

These dogs are not in danger of going down, but if you are interested in
adopting one of these dogs, please contact Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue
who will forward your application to Kerrville Humane.

If you would like to contribute financial assistance to handle the HUGE
numbers of pyrs in need in Texas, please visit the Texas Great Pyrenees
Rescue, Inc.'s website at http://www.geocities.com/txgrtpyrs/

We are a 501(c)(3) organization with a 5 member Board of Directors and
over 45 Texans members helping Texas pyrs-in-need.  If you can't foster,
then consider adopting a pyr in need as your financial contribution.

To fully vet a pyr in need, the costs are approx. $100

To be a sponsor of a pyr needing heartworm treatment (Tank, Sam, Athena,
Sugar and Maggie (who is not yet listed), please write us at
txgrtpyrs@yahoo.com -- the costs of heartworm treatment are from $150 to
$200.

We are an all volunteer, non-paid staffed group using our own funds to
help these animals.

Thank you!!
