I couldn't find anything that would point you any kind of animal shelters or control on the website. And why does that dog have a chain on it, whats it chained too?

You can see every rib on that dog and then a heavy chain hanging off it's neck....and this is the image the town wants to give of being friendly???? Yikes!

Obviously, the person that designed the website did not talk to Richard prior to doing so. It is not too late......maybe they can replace that awful picture with one of Old Fella. Sure would be a lot more welcoming.

This is Bullet. His owner died and he has no where to go. He is ten years old and is a house dog. Up to date on his shots and ready for adoption.

What a cutie! I hope Bullet finds a forever home very soon. I'll keep him in my prayers.

What's probably more ridiculous is that the web designer was trying to be dog friendly! There's an image of a dog pointing at a duck in the top left corner and the spiffy dog on the chain is a classic hunting breed, with the hallmark orange collar, clearly ready to run off and get to work. That IS the ideal dog in the rural south! Live in a kennel outside, ride in a box in the back of a truck to and from 'work.' A treasured family favorite may cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, yet never set foot in the house!

Welcome to the south!

I hope that Bullet finds a home with someone like he lost. Didn't you say he lived with an elderly gentleman? Is there anyone out like that? It reminds me of the story you wrote last year around Christmas.....
I voted today, and guess tomorrow will be the last day. We are at 65. At first a little disappointing, but when I looked at New Rattitude which is in the number one spot in GA, I found that there were several New Rattitudes. Their position was in the THOUSANDS!! So to think that Old Fella is in number 65 is pretty darn amazing!!! We may not win the $10,000 but we all know its a winner in our hearts!
