Dogs & cats living in sin.
Warning: intentionally sappy & childlike, as usual

Music: <b>Love</b> by Nat King Cole

The words to this song are what I think my dogs hear when I call them :o)

Song is by Holly Dolly the name is "Dolly song"
Enjoy

Everybody "Be Happy" Life is too short to be angry

A cat gives a little dog a bath. Enough cuteness to bring about world peace.

The animals in this video are available for adoption as of October 16, 2007 at the Lafayette Animal Control facility on Pont des Mouton Rd. in Lafayette, Louisiana. Photos and video are done by animal   more...rescue volunteers who want to see these wonderful animals saved before their time is up. The volunteers all rescue animals from the LACC facility when we have space and funding. However, we can not save them all. We need YOUR help! If you can, please adopt one of these precious animals before their time is up. Save a Life, Adopt a Pet! Please go to http://acadiana.petfinder.com to see the currently available animals.  less

Roicy Duhon Animal Control is located in Lafayette, Louisiana. This video contains the photos of the animals available for adoption as of October 2, 2007. There time is limited, so please do what you   more...can now to help.

There are many adorable kittens in all colors. There are two sweet young cats, Monkey and Blue, who were owner surrendered together. Their only crime was that they were too active, and now they find themselves behind bars.

As usual, the black Labs are present, this time 4 of them. Blackie and his two sons, Noah and Jonah, were surrendered. And Seth was probably found as a stray, but nobody has come for him. These sweet, shiny black boys will have a tough time finding a home, as black Labs and their mixes are just about the most common site on death row and the toughest to get out. So, with Dubois who was held over, that makes 5 of them. The dog that is so in demand in the east, is thrown away like yesterday's newspaper here in the south. It is heartbreaking, and as anybody who has ever loved a Lab knows, a crime, as there is no better family pet around.

It seems that a direct result of getting the word out locally by TV, flyers and email, there is a huge jump in intake numbers. This animal control facitily has already taken in over 8,000 animals, some of those wildlife, but in any event, almost 1000 animals more than ALL of last year. Perhaps the staff is not being brutally honest with these people, or perhaps they don't want to know. Some come in with dog houses, beds, toys, even clothes. These people are living on Fantasy Island, as the fact of the matter is that a very large percentage of the animals entering this facility will die. This was not the case for the two years after Katrina, because everyone wanted to save Katrina animals and their offspring, but it is no longer the case anymore. The overpopulation problem here is astounding. The director made the decision about 1.5 years ago to give those who make it to adoption more time, and the volunteers agree with this as it is impossible to get anybody out in a very few days, especially now. So, these adoption row residents have a chance to be held over, sometimes several times. But many of the animals won't ever have that chance. They are the faces that we will never see....the bios you will never read. And when one of these on adoption row goes to a home quickly, someone else from stray hold gets to go to adoption row. And, as is true in many shelters throughout south Louisiana, they are animals who would have been adopted, if there was space and time. I pray that one day the people in south Louisiana "get it".  less

A slideshow of my pets...who do u love???

The animals that you see in this video have been either picked up throughout Lafayette parish or turned in by their owners who could no longer keep them. They have been held for the required amount of   more...time and are now available for adoption with ONLY DAYS LEFT TO LIVE. These dogs and cats are in dire need of rescue as Roicy Duhon Animal Control is a euthanizing facility. Please do not forget these precious animals. If you can adopt, rescue, or sponsor one or more animal please do.

Song Lyrics:

Just a normal day
Streets turn into graves
Traces have been removed
The search was disapproved
So cold the night
The weak ones lose the fight
Too many of them out there
Noone seems to care

Lost and so alone
Born but never known
Left all on their own
Forgotten children
We'll never hear a name
They carry all the blame
Too young to break the chains
Forgotten children

They see, they feel, believe
Just like we do
They're laughing, and crying
Wanna live here
Like me and you

Eyes without light
Too tired of good-byes
Never felt embraced
And frightened of every face
A life in disguise
Hope forever died

Lost and so alone
Born but never known
Left all on their own
Forgotten children
We'll never hear a name
They carry all the blame
Too young to break the chains
Forgotten children

They see, they feel, believe
Just like we do
The're laughing and crying
Wanna live here
Like me and you

It shouldn't really be that way
It shouldn't really be that way

We see, we feel, believe
Just like you
We're laughing and crying
Wanna live here
We see, we feel, believe
Just like you
We're laughing and crying
Wanna live here  less

Please note: This video was made by volunteers. While the volunteers do not agree with LACC's euthanizing policy, we do what we can to save as many of these precious lives as we can. Also, the owner of this YouTube site runs a non-profit non-kill animal rescue. When we can, we pull from Roicy (LACC) and foster the animals until we can get them fully vetted and adopted. But, we can not do it without the support of those in the local and online communities. Your thoughts, prayers, volunteering, and donations all work together to save the lives of these precious animals. If you can't help the animals here. Please do what you can to help the animals in your own neighborhood. Happy Holidays!  less

In the spirit of the season... these special dogs & cats are all waiting for a place to call home.
Please open your heart and help those that remain behind.
CATS: One Sassy Siamese kitten
Two Black cats (Momma Marilyn and her baby girl Meri)
Three terriffic Tabby's (very friendly)
One gorgeous golden eyed gigantic black and white boy named Sherman!

DOGS: Dashing through the snow was Frieda, a high Dobie mix momma, now ready for her own family
In a one horse open sleigh were Zeke (ACD) and his three Rat Terrier pals, Elsie Katie, and Sweet Sue
'Ore the fields did Pearl (darling Black Terrier), Annie (carmel & white Terrier), and Oreo (black & white Terrier) Go!
Laughing all the way (and truly smiling if you check their photos) were Sugar (Yellow Lab) and Chip (Chi Terrier)
HO, HO, HO barked Drake (gorgeous flat-coated Retriever) and Roux (handsome chocolate Lab)
Bells on bob tails ring, making the spirits of Summer the sad young Catahoula bright
What fun it is to howl and sing said Snoopy (Beagle Terrier) and Kelly the Pug a sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, sang Cameron the Yellow Lab, jingle all the way
We all hope to find good homes this holiday and ride home in a one horse family sleigh.

The holidays are a VERY slow time for the animals wait and wait but not a lot of people are coming to see them. Consider giving the gift of life and adopt an animal over the holiday season. Roicy is closed Thurs-Friday, but OPEN Saturday from 10-2. Bring your family and come see the many faces of those hoping for a new home for Thanksgiving.

On the cat side, a very special plea for Pricilla, a gorgeous Tortie with a sleek black coat and chocolate spots. She loves people and for some reason Torties do not seem to get adopted easily but I don't understsand why. She is such a good girl waits patiently and is so loving and hopeful but she has been continues to be overlooked.

Several very nice adults that have been held over, 4 held over kittens including 2 Tabbys and 2 black kittens. There are 4 new owner surrendered Siamese kittens that are darling with pretty blue eyes.

On the dog side, a special plea for Tyler, a darling little Terrier mix that is a little shy but sweet as can be. There are donations of $200 to the 501(c)3 that will rescue him. McDoogle is a character and a great dog that we think is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. New dogs include a super super sweet JRT; a pair of owner surrendered Lab babies (one Yellow one Black); a happy Aussie girl; a tan Terrier mix; Basset mix, and black wirehaired Terrier mix. Lastly, there is Max, a Shep mix adopted as a puppy and now an adolescent. Maybe he got too big for his family? Maybe they just didn't care. Sadly for him, he was dumped right before Thanksgiving.

Please give these wonderful dogs and cats something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and help Save a Life.
