Dog Rescue In Action

Please read the following. I know it's not horse related but just because we arent' talking horses, doesn't mean we shouldn't help. The Pine Ridge Reservation is across the state from Borderlands but it's still in our state. If you can help....

Subject: UPDATE: Rez dog SWEEP, S. DAKOTA - Oglala Sioux Tribe, Pine Ridge Rez - # 1

K C Willis, his friends from the Lakotas and Oglala Sioux and the non-tribal folks are moving along with solid plans and great intentions.
What they need is the support of us distant from the scene:

* deliver food, vet supplies, crates [debit cards are great because they can be exchanged for what is needed in nearby towns];
* be willing to pull dogz for care until rescue groups come in to take them [unless some of you are allowed to rescue]
* help with transport;
CONTACT KC's GROUP AS THEY MAY SPECIFY CERTAIN ITEMS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE IN THE WAY OF FOOD, VET SUPPLIES AND OTHER ITEMS.

Hello my friends..... In the next month or so the Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation will begin their bi-annual "sweep" of the Rez Villages. We are grateful for the reprieve, as they were supposed to start a few weeks ago. Stray dogs will be gathered up and killed....shot. The recent maulings by packs and the suffering of the starving and injured strays (of which there are hundreds and hundreds) are prompting this action to take place earlier than usual. The tribe has reached out to us and given us the OK to begin rounding up stray dogs or litters of puppies. We will be doing this with the help of some Lakota friends involved in our program. This is an effort on the tribe's part to save some of the dogs...although many will be killed. In the future we will put together a long-term plan to change the way the tribe (who has no animal control/vet/ shelter etc) does this and to put spay and neuter programs in place.

If you know anyone who could transport dogs, or if you know any shelters or rescues who could take a few or many...please contact me right away at lightshinelakota@ yahoo.com. (<@yahoo. com) We have rescued over 40 dogs in the past 10 days. If you would like to help with food and meds for the dogs that are rescued, please Paypal us at the same e-mail address.

Message me if you are in the Boulder County area in Colorado and can donate a carrier or food or anything. I will give you my street address. Let's all network like crazy and see if we can get this done. We have been given the OK by the tribe to get the dogs....what we need is

* help with the care of the dogs and puppies until we can transport to other rescues AND
* we need help with transport and
* we need rescues and shelters to take some of them as soon after we rescue them as possible.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or can help in any way with connections you might have etc.

We do not just rescue puppies....we rescue any dog in any condition that is in distress. If they need help our motto is "That&# 39;s our dog!" If you are a breed specific rescue, we are probably not the organization for you as we get very, very few pure bred anything on the Reservation. ...and if you are only interested in fluffy puppies....we are definitely not the place for you. We are looking for people who want to save dogs that are on death row....period. ..it' s just this death row is the size of the state of Rhode Island.

Thank you so much! Please share......KC Willis
