In light of another local dog starving to death, we have decided to reinstate our helping Paws Petfood Pantry. We will be distributing cat and dog food to residents in need of petfood in Washington county Va, Floyd County Va, Russell County Va, Smyth county Va and Hamblin county Tn. It is in these counties that we are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of emaciated animals. We will be seeking help for this program from local vendors, residents of the community and myspace. We will be working with local vendors to allow us to use their business as a place to set up drop spots where area residents can come and pick up food for their animals. Once this has been arranged, we will publish dates, time and location of the petfood pantry. Food distribution will be on a first come first serve basis. Anyone wishing to donate may use one of the donation buttons on our page, please note that it is for the food drive, or send donations to Saving Furry Friends PO Box 741 Glade Spring,Va 24340. If you are local and wish to donate petfood to the pantry we will happily arrange for pick up.
If you are a resident of one of these counties and are in need of help feeding your animal please contact Saving Furry Friends at 276-706-6477

We hope to have this program up and running by Jan 1 ,2009

We have not even gotten to trail yet with Omars case. Omar, a doberman, was starved to death in a closet by his owner, Tyrell Suggs.  That case was supposed to be heard in court at 9 am today,December 16th, but has now been postponed.

We now have another case pending, this time against Tyrone Montgomery, of Chilhowie Va.  He allegedly starved and/or allowed his pitbull to freeze to death.It is unclear whether his pitbull stared to death or froze to death as the necprosy report has not yet come back. The case is scheduled to be heard in Smyth County General District Court at 9am on Feb 20th. I will post more details as they become available to us. In the meantime obviously this man is a DNA.
