20 Dec '11

Thank you Cheryl and Jill and Margie and Clare for your willingness to help. I'm taking this bird to the Santa Clara Vet Hospital today and then Clare will foster her (?). She's upright and alert but it is a serious wound that unfortunately has gone untreated for a week. Think good thoughts for her. Name suggestions are welcome... e On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 4:42 PM, AdoptKings(a)gmail.com <adoptkings(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Hello- > > I picked up a king pij from SFACC that is more in need of vet & supportive > vet care than I was led to understand.

Hello- I picked up a king pij from SFACC that is more in need of vet & supportive vet care than I was led to understand. I'm full up and don't have an open indoor foster spot for this bird. She's got a deep puncture wound in her side and while stable, needs vet care ASAP. Please contact me if you can help. Thank you! Elizabeth www.MickaCoo.org www.RescueReport.org

Special Birds Need a Special Home! All of MickaCoo's foster birds<http://www.mickaboo.org/our-birds/species-19.html> are special and in need of special homes. They need to be adopted by people who are compassionate and dependable. People who don't think of pets as disposable.

Everybody Deserves a Chance
by Elizabeth Young 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

*Everybody deserves a chance*.**** ** ** That’s how MickaCoo <http://www.MickaCoo.org/> started. There was a gap in the animal rescue world: pigeons and doves were being put to death in Bay Area shelters. Everyone else had a rescue group, except these birds. ** ** MickaCoo is the only Bay Area organization dedicated to rescuing unreleasable domestic pigeons and doves, who, without a home, are dead. Our purpose is to meet that one simple need. **** ** ** [image: SFACC_kings_091111.jpg] In a world that gets more complicated every day, this is one problem with a simple solution. *Together, you and I and all of us have closed that deadly gap* in the animal rescue community and we are proof of the lives that can be saved when we have compassion for everyone. When we give everyone a chance. ** Before MickaCoo, this problem was invisible. Nobody even knew that hundreds of pigeons and doves each year were being euthanized in shelters. Now these birds have us speaking up for them. We’re giving each one a chance to live. ** ** If you are reading this, *you’ve been part of this solution*. Together, we have done something that none of us could have done alone. You've helped spread the word; some of you have adopted birds; many of you have volunteered and donated; all of you have helped. ** ** *This year alone we fostered and found wonderful forever homes for more than 300 birds*, including 12 king pigeons that were dumped like trash in a parking lot<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/01/dumped-king-pigeons-need-help.html> , 216 Persian High Flyer pigeons that were left behind when a Berkeley pet store closed down<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/03/216-iranian-high-flyers-surrendered-to.…> and 10 white homers who'd been used for years in lab testing<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/01/lab-pigeons-can-count.html>. Think about that. Most of these birds would have been euthanized if it weren't for you.**** ** ** Together, with each of us doing the part that we can, however big or small, we have created a capacity to respond that no one of us could provide alone. The MickaCoo network helps people when they find strays, when they need help for their birds because of a health or financial crisis, when there are birds timing out in shelters...**** I’m writing to ask you to do it again this year.**** ** ** MickaCoo is growing. We’re now a sponsored project of Community Initiatives, which means we are becoming a sustainable organization. We will be able to attract grants and continue filling this need. Each of YOU has helped us get here.**** ** ** We’re headed into a new year, and I need your help once again to save the lives of birds. I am asking you to renew your commitment to MickaCoo through 2012. There are three important ways that you can help. - Adopt!<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/03/pigeon-dove-adopters-urgently-needed.ht…> MickaCoo is full with *more than 115 birds in foster care* and we have a waiting list for new birds that need to come in. Create an aviary<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/01/how-to-create-aviary-for-rescued-king.h…> . Apply to adopt <http://mickaboo.org/apply-mickacoo.html>. MickaCoo's pigeon and dove adopters LOVE their birds. We are open and available throughout the holidays. Pass it on.<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/04/your-help-is-to-needed-to-reach-more.ht…> **** - Volunteer. Join our Outreach Team or Foster & Adoption Team or our Fundraising Team or our IT Team<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/12/mickacoo-needs-you.html> !**** - Donate <http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/donate.html>. *Please, if you can, make a financial contribution*, invest in MickaCoo’s future. One way is to support us becoming a permanent member of the GlobalGiving online community. To do so, we must prove that we can raise $4000 from 50 donors before the end of the year and we are 71% of the way there. We need at least 24 more donors to contribute a total of $1140 in the next 16 days. ****Click here to help us meet the GlobalGiving challenge.<http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/mickacoo-pigeon-and-dove-rescue/> ** ** *Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.* It is an incredible privilege for me to be part of this team with you. Together we are helping birds that no one else would help. Because of you and MickCoo, pigeons and doves have a chance.

WONDERFUL NEWS! Dear Friends of Muttville, We're over the moon with all of the wonderful news we have to share, none of which would be possible without you!! Your votes made Muttville "San Francisco's Favorite Charity!" Can you believe it? And both our $100,000 Matching Grant Challenge and our Holiday Adoption Center are going like gangbusters. And finally, dear Pappi, the semi-blind Pug so many of you fell in love with, was one of the lucky Muttville mutts who found his new forever home this week. SAN FRANCISCO'S FAVORITE CHARITY! We won! The winner of 7x7 magazine's [1] contest to find San Francisco's favorite charity is ... MUTTVILLE! THANK YOU to every one of you who tirelessly voted for us day after day. Your enthusiasm and commitment made it happen. First place prize is $10,000! And we'll be featured in the March 2012 issue of 7x7. The senior mutts are beside themselves with joy and gratitude and a few sloppy kisses. We're honored to have shared a ballot with the other six finalists: Hearing and Speech Center of Northern California [2], Lyon-Martin Health Services [3], MYEEP [4], Minds Matter [5], Saving Grace Rescue [6], and the Asian Women's Shelter [7]. And we salute their wonderful and dedicated supporters. Each of these organizations does fantastic work for our Bay Area community. OUR $100,000 MATCHING GRANT CHALLENGE More great news! Your response to our $100,000 matching challenge drive has been astounding. We're already halfway to our goal. If you haven't yet made your donation, now's the time.

HOLIDAY ADOPTION CENTER UPDATE SantaCon Pub Crawl at Holiday Adoption Center Photo by Chung Nguyen Photography [8] Our drop-in Holiday Adoption Center [9] has been a rip-roaring success so far. On Saturday, a bunch of happy Santas paused their SantaCon Pub Crawl to say hi to the mutts, and - as you can see - it was a match made in mutt heaven. ABC, NBC, and KQED news teams all dropped in, as well, to report on our happy event. We'll post their coverage on our Press Page [10], as each becomes available. Plenty of adorable, adoptable Muttville mutts have been spending their weekends there, hoping to find their new forever homes. Jennie [11], Connie [12], Carson [13], and Casper [14] already have! Santa's there, too, as well as lots of cool dog-friendly gift items for the holiday season. We're open from noon to 3:00pm every Saturday and Sunday in December except Sunday, Dec 25. At 1259 Polk Street (corner of Bush). Come on down and join in the fun! And find your senior mutt soul mate! PAPPI'S HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Still more good news! You may remember the newsletter we sent out last week that featured Pappi [15], the nearly blind love-Pug who was left in the night dropbox of a local shelter. His future looked dire until the kind workers at the shelter went out of their way to save him. When adoption seemed unlikely, they called Muttville. We received an overwhelming response to Pappi's story: eight adoption applications in 48 hours! That's a Muttville record! THANK YOU to everyone who reached out to make Pappi's life better. Congratulations to Pappi and his lucky new family. He now has a new sibling, a rescued Chihuahua, to curl up next to. We're so happy for him! And a special thanks to all the Muttville volunteers who showered Pappi with love while he was here with us. ___________________________________________________________________________ What an amazing triumph the past week has been! You share in Muttville's every success, and we are immensely grateful for your support. THANK YOU!

Fwd: Bill to Ban Live Pigeon Shoots! Pennsylvania Residents: Please Contact Your State Legislator Now!
by Elizabeth Young 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

PLEASE encourage friends and family in PA to contact their legislators now in support of this bill to end vicious and senseless live pigeon shoots AND please show YOUR support humane treatment of all, pigeons included by emailing PA Governor Corbett. Click on this link ( http://www.governor.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/contact/2998) to email (or call) him and say that you support stopping the shameful shooting of live pigeons for fun. Thank you! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: United Poultry Concerns <news(a)upc-online.org> Date: Mon, Dec 12, 2011 at 8:17 AM Subject: [UPC] Bill to Ban Live Pigeon Shoots! Pennsylvania Residents: Please Contact Your State Legislator Now! To: adoptkings(a)gmail.com ** [image: United Poultry Concerns] <http://www.upc-online.org/> *12 December 2011* Bill to Ban Live Pigeon Shoots! Pennsylvania Residents: Please Contact Your State Legislator Now! Forwarded from SHARK – Showing Animals Respect and Kindness http://www.sharkonline.org/ DEAR FRIENDS, The bill to ban live pigeon shoots in Pennsylvania is coming up for a vote, possibly as soon as * this* week. The legislation, by Representative John Maher, will be in the form of an amendment that will also make eating cats and dogs illegal and ban the release of exotic animals into the wild. It is vital that every PA resident contact their state legislator and ask that they vote "Yes" on the "Maher Amendment" to end the nightmare of cruel pigeon shoots! Find your legislator HERE: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/#address Obviously, the NRA is upset and crying about this, but what's interesting is that they don't even refer to pigeon shoots, but instead call them "organized bird shoots." They go on to say "For over a century, shoots have been held in Pennsylvania by law-abiding, ethical shooting enthusiasts." Now we know they are just making this up as they go along. SHARK has documented enormous unethical behavior, from Philadelphia Gun Club President Leo Holt *torturing wounded pigeons* to a *huge pile of dead and wounded birds* at the Wing Pointe canned hunting club. And let's not forget that putting a pigeon into a box and shooting them like clay targets is the definition of an unethical act. But that's the NRA; they have never met a cruel slaughter of animals that they didn't like.
