Subject: Marshall, MO: 24 mill survivors need your help!

Please share with all reputable rescue groups and individuals   Do not hit reply! Call the clinic direct at 660-886-2231 (central standard time) if you are able to take any of these dogs into your rescue/adoption programs!     The Marshall Missouri Veterinary Clinic is pleading for your help in placing 24 very sweet mill survivors into rescue. Pictures may be available after Thursday 11/19, or Amy at the clinic might be able to send pictures via her cell phone.    The following dogs need to be placed into rescue by Wednesday 11/25! Each holiday season this tiny rural clinic also takes in dogs for boarding while their owners are out of town. Now that we are heading into the winter months, it will soon be too cold to kennel dogs outdoors.    1   Beagle  1   Chinese Sharpei   1   Cocker Spaniel 10  Italian Greyhound puppies New Arrivals   2  Miniature Pinschers New Arrivals   6  Miniature Schnauzers 2 Salt & Pepper are New Arrivals   2  Pekingese New Arrivals   1  Shih Tzu   The longer coated breeds will be in need of bathing and grooming. Details are attached below at the end of this post along with rescue transport contacts.   The Beagle, Cocker, Chinese Sharpei, 4 of the Miniature Schnauzers and the Shih Tzu have been waiting for a very long time for rescue placement. We have absolutely no idea why they have been over looked because they are showing great promise with their friendly temperaments and eagerness to get on with life!   The Marshall Missouri Veterinary Clinic is very conveniently located midway between Kansas City and St. Louis, approximately 10 miles north of the I-70 & Highway 65 junction. A list of possible transport services is also attached below. Some of these services are free while others are not. The clinic staff may also be able to offer transport assistance suggestions.   All dogs will be spayed/neutered with rabies vaccination before release. It is suggested that dentals and ear flushings be done while the dog is under anesthesia for their spay/neuter, so please state if you wish these services to be done when you contact the clinic. Additional very rescue friendly veterinary services are available upon request.   The clinic strongly recommends that all commercially bred dogs be tested for Bruscellosis before release. Bruscellosis is contagious to other animals and humans. http://www.azdhs.gov/phs/oids/vector/bruc/pdf/bruc_qa_vets.pdf The cost for testing is nominal.   If you or anyone you know can help the clinic staff by taking any of these dogs into your rescue programs, please call the clinic as soon as possible.   Marshall Missouri Veterinary Clinic 660-886-2231 (Central Standard Time) The clinic staff will be happy to give you more detailed information.  Monday - Friday 8:00 to 5:00 (Closed Noon - 1:00 for lunch) Saturday 8:00 to Noon   With sincere appreciation in advance on behalf of the Marshall Missouri Veterinary Clinic staff,   Jan Carpenter (If this is a duplicate message, please accept my apologies)   1 BEAGLE Has been eagerly waiting for love at the clinic since early Spring 2009 Breed info: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/beagle.htm   Female   This is not the actual Beagle needing placement.

She was diagnosed with Demodectic mange and has been treated for it. Her coat is still very sparse, but is beginning to grow back. Demodectic mange (unlike Sarcoptic mange) is not considered a contagious disease, and isolation of affected dogs is generally not considered necessary. That said, there are some circumstances under which the mites could spread from one dog to another.
