Wow, I thought for sure this guy was a goner and then I get the wonderful news this morning that Holstein, the second dog that was stolen from the Rowan County Animal Shelter in Morehead, KY has been found!!
There’s not many details except that he was found chain inside a pen and that the police are investigating. He’s at a vet right now to have some injuries treated. He does have some injuries, thankfully nothing as serious as the other dog, Jake. He was also pretty filthy, no surprise.
Here’s some pix of the pooch, nothing real graphic.
Hopefully once this guy is recovered he will be able to go to his new home with the soldier that is returning from Afghanistan who had planned to adopt him.
I still cannot believe it! A big thank you to everyone involved who found and brought Holstein home!!
If you’d like to help out, you can go to the STARS site, there is a number for the vet as well as a ChipIn widget.
I could not be happier! Kudos to the people that found this precious little one!
Great news , thank God .
That is a blessing and a half. I thought this poor baby was out there hurting somewhere and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Thank God he’s okay and will be able to go home with his new owner. Thank you Deanna – this made my day!
Maybe the publicity helped? I hope they find who stole and used these poor dogs in the first place. Maybe someone saw something and will realize they will prevent it from happening to some other poor innocent dog if they turn them in.
OMG I’M SO HAPPY THAT HOLSTEIN WAS FOUND PRAISE THE LORD. I KNOW HE WIL NOW BE WAITING FOR HIS PERSON TO COME HOME. WTG EVERYONE.
That is just great news.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!! ALL SHELTERS SHOULD HAVE SECURITY ALARMS HOOKED UP TO THE POLICE DEPT. THE NO KILL SHELTER THAT I WORKED AT HAD ONE.THEY ALSO NEED BETTER LOCKS. THESE ANIMALS ARE HELPLESS IN THE SHELTERS. ALSO…….DID JAKE MAKE IT???????????
Linda, I agree with you that all shelters should have security alarms hooked up to the Police Depts, but reality is that they all work on limited funds, which are mostly donations, and the monies they do have is more than likely spent on the animals’ health and welfare, not to mention food for all of them.
I believe you have a wonderful idea, but we have to deal with reality. If the alarm/security places would donate their services to each shelter, that would be even better because I know for a fact 95% of the shelters cannot afford it.
Thank you God they found him and hope he will recover… any update on the little beagle ?? I’d love to try to help some how with the little guy….
Yea! I’m so thrilled they found Holstien. I thought for sure he was a goner as well. It appears he WAS used in fighting and that just rips me to pieces. How is Jake doing? I hope they find the POS’s that did this and do severe damage to them. I also hope Holstien’s new daddy from Afghanistan is a kind man and not another Zimmerman. I know. I haven’t even given him a chance, but the Zimmerman deal stay’s strong with me and I hope someone follows up on beautiful Holstien to know he is being loved and well cared for. Deanna………..please give us an update on Jake. I sure hope he is okay.
Thank you to all involved in the rescue of these precious souls. You are all angels. God bless you!
That is great news on Holstein. I hope he heals nicely and has a good home with his new owner. Could you please give us an update on Jake. I hope he is okay. If they found Holstein chained in a pen, then they must have some leads to the POS that did this. I hope they prosecute to the full extent of the law. Kudos to the person(s) involved in finding Holstein. I wish more people would come forward and help. It isn’t always about the money. Sometimes honest and sincere people can help in many ways. There are so many alarm system companies out there and what a better way to get word out on your alarm system than to donate to some business and let people see the results. I know if this was done that would be the alarm system I would want in my house or business. I just had a system put in my house and I think I will contact them and make a suggestion. Great for the kennel and great advertisement for the company that sells the alarm. Besides the alarm system co. could write it off on the taxes. EVERYONE wins in this case. You have just given me more ideas on things that need to be done. Susie thank you. A suggestion to alarm companies in all of our areas would be a great place to start.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO HAVE SECURITY ALARMS ON SHELTERS, IT SHOULD NOT BE A MONEY ISSUE.I WOULD GLADLY TELL THE CITY TO USE MY TAX DOLLARS FOR IT.THIS IS WHAT TAXES ARE FOR.I FEEL THEY ARE WASTING ALOT OF OUR TAXES ON STUPID SHIT.AS FAR AS THE NON PROFIT NO KILL SHELTER, THEY ARE STILL DOING THEIR PART BY HELPING THE CITIES GETTING STRAYS OFF THE ROADS, SO THE CITY SHOULD GIVE THEM ALARMS.LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID THESE ALARM SYSTEM COMPANIES CAN DO IT FOR FREE AND USE IT FOR A TAX WRITE OFF, AND WORD OF MOUTH OF THIS KIND OF KINDNESS WOULD GET THEM MORE CUSTOMERS.OUR NO KILL SHELTER HAS HAD SECURITY ALARM HOOKED UP TO THE POLICE DEPT SINCE 1988, AFTER A GUY HAD BROKE IN TO STEAL HIS DOG BACK.NOT HURTING NO ANIMAL THERE. BUT WE ARE NOW SURROUNDED BY WHACK JOBS HUMANS, THAT ARE BREAKING INTO SHELTERS, TORTURING,RAPING, AND KILLING THESE DOGS AND CATS FOR KICKS!!THESE ANIMALS NEED SECURITY ALARMS HOOKED UP TO POLICE DEPT FOR THEIR PROTECTION, THEY ALSO NEED BETTER DOORS AND LOCKS!!THESE ANIMALS ARE IN THESE SHELTERS BECAUSE OF THE HUMANS. SO THE HUMANS NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONCE.
Your tax dollars are probably going to their support , as most anyone who would do this I do not beleive would have a job. They are what we call low life scum. How about camera security ?
I saw this guy the saturday before he was stolen. I was so upset after I found out he had ben stolen from the pound. I am glad that the pound has upgraded their security and even happier that the big lug was found. Thanks for all the people who aided in his rescue and may the scumbags who thought they would get away with this pay the price for their misdeeds!
