Senior Paws & Furry Friends, Inc. has formed a partnership with SPCA Of Connecticut for :
-Shelter Dogs Rock, A Home For The Holidays Pet Expo-
in December 2010. This will be the largest adoption event in the Northeast. Our goal is to transport 400 dogs from Georgia shelters that are on the kill list to Connecticut and ultimately each into a loving home.

We cannot confirm the date until we pay the Connecticut Expo Center $20,000.00 for the event. Please make a tax deductible donation and read on for further information about how to become an Event Sponsor:

This year we are already planning our “A Home For The Holidays” adoptions in December by finding homes for 100's of dogs and puppies by doing a "trade" with the New England area. This can occur because unfortunately here is Georgia there is a huge surplus of companion animals -- dogs & cats are euthanized every week due to overcrowding in animal control centers. In the metro Atlanta area alone over 100,000 cats and dogs were euthanized in 2009.

In contrast the Northern states do not have the over population due in part to aggressive spay/neuter programs. Their shelters are actually lacking dogs!!! It's hard to believe if you are from the South but after doing my research I found that the transport of dogs from animal shelters in the South to the North started about 10 years ago, especially puppies and small breeds.

We are so excited about this project. The project sounds so simple, yet in reality it is not. All dogs must be fully vetted and all must be spayed/neutered. Many dogs arrive at the shelter in extremely poor health. Sixty percent will have heartworm and need to have a very expensive treatment to save his/her life. Also all dogs must be in a foster home and out of a shelter environment for a minimum of 14 days. This in to insure that all dogs involved in the transport are healthy -- we cannot take any dogs that would be a health risk to the other dogs going North.

Our volunteers do not view any of the tasks involved to be difficult, a problem or even an issue. So what is the problem we are faced with? Raising $20,000.00. Yes, we need $20,000.00 in donations to rent the Connecticut Expo Center for 3 days. We cannot confirm the date until we pay the Connecticut Expo Center $20,000.00 for the event.
