HOW TO HELP GABBY!
Please let Rushville's Mayor Robert Bridges, know where you stand.
Tell Mayor Bridges that the world is watching. E-mail him at:
[email protected]. Telephone him at (765)932-3735. Offer
solutions and encourage change. Demand that pound assistant Jamie
Glandon stay re-instated at the Rushville Animal Shelter, without
harassment or fear of reprisal. Without intervention, there is grave
concern about how this chapter will end for companion animals interred
at the Rushville Animal Shelter. Please read and sign the petition at:

Meet Gabby, she is a 4 month old Mastiff/Shepherd mix who was
euthanized on Monday November 12. Four days later shelter worker Jamie
Glandon went into the walk in cooler to dispose of a body, when Gabby
raised her head. Buried neck deep, in a barrel, under other dead animals.
Jamie immediately removed Gabby from the cooler and called the Head
Dog Warden, Jack Hill, she was told to take the dog to a local vet and
have her euthanized again. Jamie refused, instead phoned the vet to
have Gabby examined. Gabby now is safely into rescue and under
veterinary care.
Jamie has been placed on administrative leave for her courageous and
compassionate act. She could lose her job and face potential criminal
charges, all for saving a puppy's life.
It gets worse. This is the third failed euthanasia reported at the
shelter since September. First, a border collie who had to be
euthanized three times before death resulted. Second, a litter of 3
black lab puppies had to be euthanized multiple times before death
resulted.
The euthanasia procedure at the Rushville Animal Shelter is INHUMANE.
Instead of finding a vein, as a veterinarian would do, the dog instead
is injected directly into the heart. There is no sedation given, and
death is slow and painful, the animal fully aware. In the two previous
instances of failed euthanasia the dogs weren't even given the dignity
of being removed from the piles of other dead animals, simply injected
where they lay.
Jamie officially filed complaints with the Mayor's office on the
previous incidents, nothing was done. Now Jamie is being vilified in
her own community for speaking out, and taking action.
We are raising money, awareness and some hell to support our friend
Jamie, get shelter procedures changed and protect Gabby! Please help,
become Gabby's friend, spread the word, sign the petition, email us
your contact information for another Rally for Reason in Rushville
Indiana.
In the words of Gabby: My name is Gabby and I was dropped off at the
Rushville Indiana Animal Shelter because my owners didn't want me. I
remember that day like it was yesterday. My person grabbed my leash
and collar and walked me to the car. I was soooo excited! I was going
to get to go on a car ride!! Yippie!! We drove up one street and down
the other. I had my head sticking out the window with the cold winter
breeze blowing my ears up. And then it happened. I saw this run down
shack of a building with the words "Animal Shelter" written on the
side with a big white box setting outside the door. I asked myself,
"What is an animal shelter"? I soon found out and little did I know
that big white box was going to be where they threw my body after they
killed me.
I lay four days under a pile of other dead animals, no food or water.
Then I saw a bright light and for a minute thought I was going over
Rainbow Bridge to find peace at last. Instead it was my hero, Jamie
Glandon, who came to rescue me, give me a bath, warm me, hold and
comfort me until I quit shaking, and take me to the doctor. Now, I am
safe in rescue but the vet bills have been high and my savior Jamie
faces trouble for her decision to save me. Won't you be our hero and help?
