Help our Dog Shelters in Florida Please

Hurricane Irma Damaged our Dog Shelter in CENTRAL FLORIDA HIGHLANDS COUNTY

The Humane Society of Highlands in Central Florida and tend to be overlooked by larger rescue groups.  After the Florida Keys, we were hit the hardest and have been declared a Disaster Zone. How can you help?

1.       We have created an Amazon Wish List:  HIGHLANDS ANIMAL CONTROL this will help all the shelters in the area.  Go to your Amazon account and search lists.

2.       There is also a Go- Fund-Me  https://www.gofundme.com/Irmadogshelters  that will be used to help us repair fencing and deliver dog food to area residents.

 

  

Our staff is exhausted, our dogs are traumatized, but just last week we got water and air-conditioning.

                      

Our Little St. Francis Sculpture Survived.

Currently, we have 75 dogs and around 50 cats in our shelter. We are working at full capacity and cannot intake anymore animals. Our biggest wish is to ship these dogs to forever homes.

Thankfully our rescued No-Name Puppies are oblivious but others are suffering.

When a dog enters the shelter, our challenge is to convince them that they are good dogs and did nothing wrong. The shock of Irma hurt, and without our regular volunteers it’s difficult to tend to their emotional needs. Our solution?  We have enlisted the puppies to work with the older dogs and they are doing an excellent job. Who can’t be cheered up by a wee one?

What I did not count on were the “Hoarders”. Just last week we found a home with over a hundred

cats. And I did not expect the intakes from the flooded Puppy Mills hidden in the back roads and  finding  cages of dogs buried in ditches stuck in the mud who were rescued by the Sheriff’s department. Some dogs had been purposely blinded so they would not run away.  We finally know where these places are located who runs them and the Sheriff’s Office can now shut them down.

We have also found dogs tied to fences and cars, their backs and legs broken from the storm.  Many people panicked could not take their animals with them and tied them up instead of letting them take their chances.  We are performing emergency triage, but without our Vet our efforts are limited.

Below: Me and the Sheriff

My name is Kay Hall-Holosko and I am a just a regular person. I use my own time and resources to further my vision.  I was inspired to continue my work after Bark Magazine chose to feature me in the Xmas edition, 2017. Because of that article I gained confidence and could define my mission to go into High-Risk Rural areas, boost staff morale, kiss some dogs, hug a puppy and get them the things that they need.  Before the storm hit I secured 6000lbs of dog food as a donation to  Animal Services.  That feeds 30 dogs a day for 6 months!

NFL, Kneeling, Patriotism and Donald Trump

Kneeling nonsense reigns.

Look at it this way. In every church I have ever entered kneeling is the highest form of respect and reverence.  Mankind has been kneeling in front of God and Kings and Queens since the beginning of time. We kneel to be knighted, to be forgiven to beg for mercy.

It has nothing to do with disrespect in any culture anywhere on the planet.

Why would kneeling in front of our flag be any different? 

Dog Shelters Flooded Please Help

The dog  shelters that I sponsor are located in Central Florida. After the Florida Keys this area  was hit the hardest. Because they are located in the middle of the state they have been overlooked .
They still do not have running water or electricity and have been declared a state of emergency. FEMA has not yet reached these areas.

The kennels have been destroyed the cages flooded. Dogs and cats have been  found  terrified and traumatized,  tied to houses and cars many with broken legs.

What I didn't count on were the Puppy Mills that hide deep in the back woods flooded. We have found cages of puppies in ditches and on the road side.

Also the Hoarders whose houses have been flooded are releasing animals into the street.We found 100 cats and 43 dogs yesterday.

The Staff are overwhelmed and brave.

Below is our flooded  shelter.

I have set up an Amazon Wishlist for:

Highlands Animal Services.

Our First Rescue 

Hurricane Irma Pictures Aftermath

Yes I'm still standing. A lot of clean up required. A lot of dogs to save! People were tying their pets to cars and houses. We have picked up 50 so far.

The pics below say it all!

Phone God Speak to St. Jude and call A Guardian Angel

This is my new Installation . Phone God ask for St. Jude and call a Guardian Angel.

ST. Jude and Irma

I'm a big fan of St. Jude. He is the Patron St. of hopeless cases of things most despaired of.

For me he is the most powerful Uber coolest Saint EVER.
I don't care what anyone believes this guy listens and he can make anything happen.

I pray to him for Florida now.

I've prayed to him  many times in my life and  he has never disappointed me. And I believe that  if you pray to him he will hear you as well.

The thing about St. Jude is that if you pray to him you must promise to pay it forward and tell others about him.

Ergo, I am telling you.

Why Beached Dolphins?

Have ever wondered why hundreds of dolphins show up on our shores dead or dying?

 Underwater  missile tests  break the sonic ear drums of  whales and dolphins
and their navigation system is destroyed.

No more Goggle Maps for you!

If these systems can do that under the water imagine what they can do in the sky to the ozone.

DACA ISSUES Long Term

I do not think that the problem is with the 800,000 Dreamers. However, once they start sponsoring relatives that number of people admitted in the US could reach over 5 million.  The US economy cannot take that influx which will come around the same time when these kids become financially solvent.  

That does not count the children that they will have.

Maybe we could limit or not allow sponsorship for relatives?

Now I am off to Miami to save 300 shelter dogs.

Wish me well.
