DOG OF THE WEEK:
Holly - My foster mom says I have a wonderful disposition, and will learn very quickly. I am VERY smart and super sweet. I am already learning housetraining. I am the calmer of the two pups, but it is an intelligent calm. I snuggle when picked up. I am very sure of myself, and have a gentle strong will and will work to figure out how to get what I want. I am a great problem solver, and once I learn something I do not forget. I sit extra pretty to get a treat! My pictures do not begin to show how beautiful and expressive I am. Winston, Winnie for short. I am a love bug! I am sweet and very affectionate. I light up when I am called, bound in for a hug, and wiggle all over. My foster mom describes me as “bounce to the ounce” I come out of my crate in the morning with a zest for life, and promise to make you smile when you look at my adorable face with my ears flopping as I run. I am alert and curious and want to explore everything. We are living with a foster family in Philadelphia and are now on a schedule for sleep, play and eating. We will need someone who has time to continue with a routine as it us makes me feel safe to know what is next. We have already learned to sit and give paw. When we are fed and have had enough exercise we settle in our crate and are content to watch while foster mom does her chores. We are spayed and neutered, dewormed, and up to date an all shots, just waiting for a loving home that has time and space for a puppy... or two ! ASK ABOUT OUR DISCOUNTED ADOPTION FEES! Can you HELP SAVE ME?
 Our Mission:
Thunder’s Angels is a small private group of volunteers who rescue dogs from animal control facilities where they are scheduled to be killed in gas chambers by carbon monoxide poisoning (aka: suffocation). The shelters that we work with do their best to help the dogs but they are small, underfunded and understaffed – many of them have no veterinarians, no spay/neuter clinics, and no adoption programs—despite their best efforts, their “kill rates” can be as high as 95%. Thunder’s Angels recognizes that pet overpopulation is a nationwide problem and we are saddened by the fact that thousands of animals are being euthanized in our local shelters too—however, given the cruelty of the gas chamber, we consider the animals who are doomed to this horrible fate to be most urgent and we are committed to saving as many of them as we can, no matter where they are located.
In addition to rescuing and facilitating adoptions for the animals who are languishing in these gassing facilities, Thunder’s Angels supports the passing of legislation that would outlaw this cruel practice in states where it is still legal. Please see our “About Gassing” and “How You Can Help” sections for more information and updates about proposed legislation that would permanently ban gassing. Until the laws are changed, we will remain committed to rescuing these dogs because we do not feel that it would be fair to the ones who are suffering right now if we were to wait for change. Animals are being gassed to death today. More will be gassed tomorrow. And even more, the day after. These are sweet, loving, loyal companions who have been abandoned by the people who were supposed to love them the most. We won’t turn a blind-eye or give up on them, even if we can only save one at a time… We hope that you will take a moment to watch the following video so that you can see and hear the realities of the inhumane gas chamber that our government still considers acceptable. We realize that the video is sad and can be hard to watch but now that you are aware of this horror, we hope you will support our work. Please see our “How You Can Help” page for more information on what you can do to save these dogs.
