Checkout Priscialla the dog we’re sponsoring at the Bangor Humane Society

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Green Acres is glad to be able to help the Bangor Humane Society by sponsoring a dog kennel and a cat condo every month. This is Priscialla

Priscilla is  a one year old female Plott Hound mix with gorgeous brindle markings. Priscilla arrived to the Humane Society as a stray, found roaming the streets of Corinth. When she arrived she had a mild ear infection in both ears which was treated with medicated ointment. True to her roots, Priscilla can be vocal and is an active girl! She enjoys playing fetch – tennis balls don’t stand a chance. She is clever and responsive to commands. This wonderful girl has been here at the shelter for weeks now and is still waiting for a loving, permanent home., the dog currently residing in our sponsored dog kennel.

Green Acres Joins the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Puppy Friendly Pet Stores initiative

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

We Love Puppies!

Green Acres is proud to have joined the ranks of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Puppy Friendly Pet Stores initiative. Participating pet stores pledge to refuse to sell puppies, but instead suggest that people obtain a puppy from a humane society, animal shelter or reputable breeder. The sad fact is that most puppies that are sold at pet stores come from puppy mills and large scale production facilities where the conditions are often inhumane. This mass production of puppies is one of the direct causes of pet overpopulation which results in shelters humanly euthanizing approximately four million cats and dogs—about one every eight seconds—each year. There are simply not enough homes for all of these pets, nor do “No-Kill” shelters have the capacity and resources to care for these dogs and cats until homes become available.

For help on finding a reputable breeder, checkout the article Finding the Right Dog and Breeder on our web site at: http://bit.ly/bvDVHG

Checkout Pumpkin, the dog we’re sponsoring at the Bangor Humane Society

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Green Acres is glad to be able to help the Bangor Humane Society by sponsoring a dog kennel and a cat condo every month. This is Pumpkin, the dog currently residing in our sponsored dog kennel.

Pumpkin is a one year old black and tan Coonhound mix. She was surrendered because her former owners had too many animals to properly care for. It is recommended that she live with older children as she is still learning manners – especially avoiding the temptation to jump on people when excited. A dog training class would be a definite plus for this energetic, sweet girl. She is a beautiful, loving dog who deserves a second chance and a forever home.

Hurricane Katrina was a tragedy of epic proportions. Tom McPhee’s An America Opera: The Greatest Pet Rescue Ever is the multi-award winning documentary chronicling what happened during Hurricane Katrina when pet guardians were forced to evacuate without their pets. The film follows the pets, vets, guardians, officials, rescuers, and adopters of animals as they try to remedy the situation, revealing that not everyone had the same goal of saving animals. Trailers are available at www.anamericanopera.com.

The Rescue Party Tour will be in Belfast at the Colonial Theater on August 2nd 2009. Doors open at 6:15 PM. A $25 VIP ticket comes with a signed poster, meet and greet with the filmmaker, and $10 will go back to local animal charities. A Q&A with the filmmaker Tom McPhee will follow the screening of An American Opera: The Greatest Pet Rescue Ever!

” This film is both heartbreaking and inspiring… Perhaps the biggest legacy this film will leave is the need to make a difference it imparts to those who view it.” FilmGuru.net
