at the Mason County Animal Shelter,located in Pt. Pleasant, WV. The nearest large town is Huntington.This afternoon (August 4, 2007) Michelle Rudd, Executive Director and StacyHollock, Manager of the Humane Society of Parkersburg, along with DebbieHines from the Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Parkersburg, wentto the above shelter to see what they could do.I talked to Debbie Hines who had the only working cell phone and she askedme to contact anybody and everybody and get this out. Michelle's andStacy's cell

phone cannot pick up a signal down there and Debbie's cellphone is running out of charge and she has no way to charge it. They aregoing to try to take pictures with their cell phones. I called WSAZ TV andthey are going to try to get out there. I called WTAP TV and they are goingto try to put out a plea during the evening news but they could not get acrew down there today. I called and left a message at the Herald-Dispatchnewspaper but did not get a return call.Apparently, 

; ; some county workers were filling in low places around theshelter in Pt. Pleasant, WV and the heavy equipment crushed the sewersystem. The WORKERS have GONE HOME, LEAVING THE MESS. The dogs are standing in green sludge, they are covered with feces and urine, blood andgreen sludge. Many dogs are tied outdoors in the direct heat of the sun.Dogs inside the building are standing in backed up sewer sludge. Iunderstand there is no clean water. Some of the DOGS APPEAR TO BE NEAR DEATH. The county commissioners say they don't know if they can do anythinguntil August 15, 2007!!!!!!! August 15, 2007???? THIS IS WHEN THEY ARE COMING IN TO TAKE OVER AND HAVE A MASS KILLING AT THE

SHELTER.Is there anything you can do? Please forward this to anyone who might beable to help these animals asap. Any news agencies or anyone who can movemountains quickly. Rescue organizations are needed, adoptions for as manyanimals as possible, even foster care. Also needed are some constructionworkers who are willing to volunteer time and equipment to go down there andget the sewer system fixed (you may never get paid). Use your imaginationto think of any other way to help. It was suggested I call the

amp; amp; nbsp;HealthDepartment but it is the weekend and they are closed. If you know anyonepersonally who works for any organization in the Pt. Pleasant area that canhelp please contact them.The phone number at the Mason County Shelter is (304) 675-6458 or (304)674-3085.Carol Orr______________________ Patricia Breen www.petstorecruelty.org
