Hello Everyone,

Currently there is a crisis going on in for dogs in Harrison Co. Ohio, and they need our help if they are going to survive. The Ohio SPCA and the Appalachian SPCA have been battling the unforgivable conditions at the Harrison Co Dog Pound for some time now, but things have recently escalated. Dogs are being kept outside in below freezing temperatures in their own waste. Dogs are dying, Parvo is spreading, most dogs are freezing and going hungry. Good samaritans and rescue orgaizations are doing their best to free the dogs from this place and put them in good, respectable shelters and/or foster homes before the mass pound euthanasia that has been scheduled within the next several hours! Most of these dogs are in dire shape and need immediate and extensive vet care. Please take a moment to read more about the situation and then donate to the cause. I donated this morning, and now I'm asking that everyone tries to help. Even if it is just a little bit. It adds up! Check out these links:

I emailed Robin McClelland (with the AOSPCA)  last night to get more information on the situation and see how I could help. This is the response email she sent me:

 I've been trying to respond to the dozen emails, but at 5 degrees with wind-chill, even dsl is worse than dialup would be tonight.

We sure could use some help.  Vetting is our biggest expense.  We have the mama and pup just dropped off at the pound after it closed on Sunday which were found in the icy snowy outside pen with no top and left there all day. Mom is eating and drinking, but shooting feces out of her hiney, and I suspect hook/whip worms and was correct.  She spewed blood out of her hiney the entire way to the vet.   We started her on Vit C, Immune and antibiotics as a precaution.  We just ordered about $500 of emergency supplies, parvo tests, slip leads, booties to cover shoes with plastic bottoms.

Stacy Skinner is handling the pulling and transporting of most of the animals, which is hard, as she is a nurse and sometimes works 12 hour shifts at night.  She got photos of all 8 remaining dogs and will get them to me,  but I think their photos and the conditions "inside" and "outside" this outdoor facility are posted and will be on our fb site as well.As of right now, there are five (5) dogs left in the pound and several more in fosters that need placed.

Our immediate need is:fostersmaterials for temp holding facility vet moneypull and gas moneytransporters

Three women here are helping these animals.  Stacy Skinner, Friend of the Pound Rescue Volunteer,  Darla Smith, Humane Agent  and myself.  Locals never will lift a finger.  This is just wrong.

We have a chip-in for a few of our needs on our fb page, and our paypal is aospca@frontier.com  Thanks for worrying about the dogs in this county and wanting to help.  We need all the help we can get.  We need lawyer money, for sure.  We need a real shelter for sure, NOT run by the county. We arranged for on of our animal hospitals in Belmont County to treat dogs in need as well as our northern county vet, Oak Pointe Animal Care in Dover, OH.  It is a two hour drive there and back regardless of which we use.  We need gas money.  None of us has an SUV, only cars so weather plays a factor in who we use. The lab with the ice on his belly and penis is at New Horizon Tonight.  He did test neg for parvo today, but could be positive tomorrow.  He is being examined due to the ice and fear of frostbite and spending the night there. I will be at the county commissioner meeting in the morning.Robin McClellandAppalachian Ohio SPCA, Inc.P.O.

December 4th was the Ohio State Persian Club Cat Show in Columbus Ohio. Our dear Igraine earned her winners ribbons that day, and is a proud new champion. Little Teagan made her debut in the showing world, and was the youngest kitten in her class! She was very classy though and acted like a lady. We are looking forward to January's Parma, Ohio show. Teagan and Igraine will be coming out again, and hopefully our little Bridget will be ready for her first kitten show!

We now have 2011 Celtic Cats Calendars availble for $18 each (plus shipping/handling). You can place your order through our Contact us page.

Our 5 month old Queen in Training, Igraine, entered her first kitten show this past weekend in Medina, Ohio. We are very proud of how well she behaved her first time out! She was lovely and sweet. She took first place, best of color in her color class in one ring, and she came in 2nd place in her color class in 3 more rings. :) We believe this is just the beginning of great things to come!
We had a wonderful time at the show, spending time and chatting with many of our wonderful friends who breed Maine Coons across the Great Lakes Region! :)

We are very excited as we wait for the arrival of our new girl, Rickoons Igraine! She is a very vibrant and flashy girl. Thank you so much Rick and Joann for trusting us with your beautiful girl!

Anwen went to live with her new owners this past weekend. She is already greatly missed in our home! We love you Anwen! You have found a wonderful home!

Celtic Cats Anwen is still available for adoption. She is a stunning brown tabby with white. She was 8 weeks old yesterday. Anwen is very adventurous and feisty. She loves to explore, loves to eat, and loves to cuddle when she's tuckered out. Send me an email for further inquiries about Anwen.

Our girls Bizou and Gazella competed in the Kittyhawk Felines CFA show in Dayton, Ohio yesterday! It was a very fun and productive day. Gazella gained her champion title and both girls made lots of new friends.

Vens Passion Fantasia also Championed at the Medina Show this weekend. Vens Passion PS I Love You More and Vens Passion Sam I Am debuted their kitten careers as well! Congratulations to them and all of our friends at Vens Passion!
