S.O.S.! Need help S.T.A.T.!!!

Guys, this is, like, a real emergency. Does anyone know of any pit rescues along the east coast? The short version of this depressing story is my aunt is probably going to lose her battle to cancer very soon. Two months or less, soon. She has three dogs; an elderly dachshund, elderly toy fox terrier, and a pit-mix that’s about three. While, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to find a ‘Senior Dog Sanctuary’-type thing for the dachshund and terrier, but the dachshund is honestly past his time and the pit-mix still has so much life left in her, so that is a major priority. My aunt lives in North Carolina so ‘take it to a shelter’ just isn’t an option. Hurley (pit-mix) was actually her ex-boyfriend’s dog, but, well, let’s just say he’s 'ex’ for a reason. And when my aunt tried to get rid of Hurley when they broke up, she found out that most North Carolina shelters (in her area, at least…) promptly put down any pits they take in. She doesn’t have any friends or family that can take any of them in. I personally would love to, but I just can’t.

Okay, so I really meant to keep it quick, but I got over-excited. Basically, the actual short version of this is I am in desperate need of information for somewhere reliable that can take elderly dogs and more importantly a pit-rescue along the east coast. My aunt is in North Carolina and I am in New York so we can more-or-less get about anywhere. If anyone has anything please let me know!

In a rare twist of fate, I was finally able to capture all three of my pets hanging out together, normally they hang out in twos, with one of them elsewhere.

Urgent Part 2 - Urgent Death Row Dogs Manhattan Center HOBAN - A0952648 FEMALE, BROWN / WHITE, PIT BULL MIX, 2 mos SEIZED - ONHOLDHERE, HOLD FOR ARRESTED Reason OWN ARREST Intake condition NONE Intake Date 12/07/2012, From NY 10038, DueOut Date 12/10/2012 Medical Behavior Evaluation GREEN Medical Summary SCAN NEGATIVE BRIGHT, ALERT, RESPONSIVE, HYDRATED PHYSICAL EXAM young female puppy good appt nosf Weight 7.0 For more information on adopting please read the following: https://www.facebook.com/Urgentdeathrowdogs/app_137541772984354 DO NOT call the shelter and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the dog. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the dog’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the dog. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how dogs fall through the cracks and end up being killed. For more information on a particular dog, email [email protected] but ONLY if serious about adopting, and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go un-noticed.
