This Catahoula mix, named "Tracker" has a new home, but he needed a way to
get from Franklin, GA to Fayetteville, N.C. There are several groups that will help
setup transports with volunteers to get dogs and cats all around the country.  
"Tracker", who was helped by Mae West of the Douglas County Humane Society
get to his new home. If you are interested in transporting, call a rescue group of
your choice and fill out an volunteer form.
Thanks to you these babies found a new homes.

RESCUE

30% of all animals in shelters are purebred?  If you can't find the dog you want at the shelter try breed specific rescue.  Most
dogs are fully vetted and have their temperament evaluated by experts with that breed.

First Strike: The Connection Between Animal Cruelty and Human Violence



The First Strike® campaign was created in 1997 to raise public and professional awareness about the connection between animal cruelty and human violence and to
help communities identify some of the origins of violence, predict its patterns, and prevent its escalation.
Each year, the campaign works with local animal protection agencies around the United States to bring together animal shelter workers, animal control officers, social
service workers, law enforcement officials, veterinarians, educators, and others to learn about the violence connection and to promote inter-agency collaborations to
reduce animal cruelty, family violence, and community violence.

First Strike also provides investigative support, rewards, expert testimony, and information on the animal-human cruelty connection to law enforcement and prosecutors
in high-profile animal cruelty cases. We also work jointly with legislators and activists throughout the United States to press for the passage of well-enforced, felony-level
anti-cruelty laws.

Find out more about the animal cruelty/human violence connection and what you can do to break the cycle.
