[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 590922, member: 1233"] Lisa, have you ever seen the show Dog Town that used to be on National Geographic? It is on youtube now. It is about the Best Friends Animal Shelter in Utah. They are the largest shelter in the US (probably in the world) and they help shelters with this sort of thing. The local shelter/humane society/rescue can contact them and ask for help. I know they go to other states and sometimes know people who will bring animals to them. They don't take anmals from individuals, only from shelters. But they often have or can find resources that can help. The lady who was intrumental in making our humane society a no kill shelter and who got our local animal control to get as close to that as is possible, actually went out and spent several of her vacations at this shelter helping out. They took the worst of Michael Vick's dogs and turned some of them around. NONE were put down because they couldn't be retrained. They have areas for that, and they worked with some of them for a very long time. Maybe if the local people got in contact they could help or give some ideas?
