Using the internet to put this story as far and wide as possible, on the off chance someone might know someone, etc., etc. From: Carol Orr: corr@ifriendly.com (@ifriendly.com) (at ifriendly.com ) Mason County, Pt. Pleasant, WV Animal Shelter As I write this, there is an emergency at the Mason County Animal Shelter, located in Pt. Pleasant, WV. The nearest large town is Huntington. This afternoon (August 4, 2007) Michelle Rudd, Executive Director and Stacy Hollock, Manager of the Humane Society of Parkersburg, along with Debbie Hines from the Board of Directors of the Humane Society of Parkersburg, went to the above shelter to see what they could do. I talked to Debbie Hines who had the only working cell phone, and she asked me to contact anybody and everybody, and get this out. Michelle's and Stacy's cell phone cannot pick up a signal down there, and Debbie's cell phone is running out of charge and she has no way to charge it. They are going to try to take pictures with their cell phones. I called WSAZ TV and they are going to try to get out there. I called WTAP TV and they are going to try to put out a plea during the evening news, but they could not get a crew down there today. I called and left a message at the Herald-Dispatch newspaper but did not get a return call. Apparently, some county workers were filling in low places around the shelter in Pt. Pleasant, WV and the heavy equipment crushed the sewer system. The workers have gone home, leaving the mess. The dogs are standing in green sludge, they are covered with feces and urine, blood and green sludge. Many dogs are tied outdoors in the direct heat of the sun. Dogs inside the building are standing in backed up sewer sludge. I understand there is no clean water. Some of the dogs appear to be near death. The county commissioners say they don't know if they can do anything until August 15, 2007!!!!!!! August 15, 2007???? Is there anything you can do? Please forward this to anyone who might be able to help these animals ASAP. Any news agencies or anyone who can move mountains quickly. Rescue organizations are needed, adoptions for as many animals as possible, even foster care. Also needed are some construction workers who are willing to volunteer time and equipment to go down there and get the sewer system fixed (you may never get paid). Use your imagination to think of any other way to help. It was suggested I call the Health Department but it is the weekend and they are closed. If you know anyone personally who works for any organization in the Pt. Pleasant area that can help please contact them. The phone number at the Mason County Shelter is: 304-675-6458, or: 304-674-3085.

This is awful. I cannot believe these workers left this place and went home first of all. I see a lawsuit toward them right there! There should be a county health line emergency # the shelter workers can call. This is not only a health hazard for these dogs, but to the community! I'm too far away to physically help but they really should figure out who to call. Call the friggin mayor if they have to! Call the newspapers, tv media and everyone else who has the power to embarass the people who made the mess and those who will not come to the aid to help!

I don't know, I will attempt to find out. I'd like to learn what happened, too.
