DogsInDanger identifies dogs in danger of being euthanized, hoping the public to take action to save each dog.

Ask PACCA to join DogsInDanger.com

You may have heard or seen the recent controversy regarding PACCA's refusal to participate in DogsInDanger effort at identifying shelter dogs slated for euthanasia.  In brief, PACCA's argument is/was that they do not assign euthanasia dates to the thousands of dogs that have or will die there.

If the dogs are dying, and we all agree that dogs are dying at PACCA, surely there is some methodology for selecting those dogs. PACCA stated in writing that %u201Cwhen a dog is in imminent danger of death they send out mass emails to try to preserve that dog%u2019s life.%u201D Well, when you%u2019re starting to send those emails, why not just post the dog on DogsInDanger... it%u2019s another tool, it%u2019s free, it takes seconds!

Please help us tell PACCA how you feel, help us tell PACCA "it's only about the dogs" and that DogsInDanger WORKS for those sad dogs!  In fact remind them that 88% of the dogs listed with DogsInDanger have been saved...don't the dogs of Philadelphia deserve this chance too?

We the undersigned believe that dogs that are slated for euthanasia deserve every chance at life.  DogsInDanger is a free tool that works!  We can't understand why PACCA is unable to work with DogsInDanger to help the thousands of dogs PACCA is unable to find homes for each year.  We ask that PACCA reconsider it's position on the issue and reach out to DogsInDanger in the spirit of selflessness that is required of this issue/field.

Please find common ground with DogsInDanger, find a way to work with them, and find a way to save those poor dogs in imminent danger of death.

I am broken hearted at all the innocent, loving dogs that die everyday. I could only imagine waiting for my death, without love or hope. I believe that many more could be saved by having more exposure to potential adoptors. Please help in everyway possible by placing the helpless dogs on dogsindanger.com If only one life is saved then it will be a victory! Please help! They do not have the time to waste.

If PACCA really cared about the dogs, they would have no objections to joining DogsInDanger.com. I think this is a sad, sad reality that shouldn't have to be faced. These dogs deserve a fair chance so let's give it to them!
