Justice for Justice

There's a Dog called Justice currently at an undisclosed vet's in Queens NY. Here's a video for Justice - please watch before reading further:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMj0jY6H2OI



(this video might break your heart)

This dog was taken by a concerned animal lover that took it to her vets for treatment and then called the ASPCA for help. Officer Romano was sent to investigate (Tel #212-876-7700). The rescuer then slipped to the owner that this dog was getting treatment and was passed to the ASPCA - the owner than called and told the APSCA that this dog was stolen.

Now the ASPCA is insisting that this poor dog goes back to it's owner where it was living in a crawl space under the house and being mauled by another dog they owned - all the time not getting any treatment for his obvious ill health.

As of tonight (12/20) we are praying that this dog is still at the vets - so far the vet has not treated this dog in anyway. The vet was ready to put Justice into surgery that night. But after carefully looking him over, the vet decided Justice needed to heal on his own. He did have mange and what looked like bite marks all over his neck. The one vet said that he would have never survived another night outside. Anemia and mange and under weight, as well as big, open, sores. He is having trouble standing and looks as if he is going to pass out as you can see in the video. The vet cannot give this dog back to the rescuer and will tomorrow be given back to the owner that let it get this way as per the advise of the ASPCA officer Romano that was called on this case.

Please call the ASPCA, get the media, call the officer - network for this poor dog. We all want a happy ending to this tradegy while this dog has a fighting chance.

Rescue Ink: helping abused animals

RESCUE INK is a rescue group unlike any you’ve seen before: a bunch of tattooed, motorcycle-riding tough guys who have joined together to fight animal cruelty, educate abusers and help resolve situations other rescue groups can’t – or won’t – handle themselves.

Some of the guys grew up in the projects, some had their brushes with the law, some used their smarts to survive, even thrive on the streets. But that was then, this is now, and today they all share a common goal: Using every means within the thin boundaries of the law, they persuade and educate abusers about the right way to treat animals.

Like many of the animals they save, the members of Rescue Ink know what it’s like to be given a second chance in life. And they’re using theirs to help the animals, no matter what it takes.

What makes them so effective? Take a look. Would you mess with these guys?

http://www.rescueink.org/

This is the message they came out with today:
everyone keep a look out for dogs outside without shelters!!!!!! tomorrow is going to be nasty 12 or more inches on long island. If you see anything please go to
http://www.rescueink.org/ and let us know

Vito needs a break!

Vito (A07815890) looks like a mini Dog De Bordeaux, he has a mushy face and is full of wiggles. He has the BEST smile ever and will absolutely make you laugh. Vito knows ‘sit’ and has no food issues. He would prefer the company of people, but can be ok with other dog with long, proper introductions. He is about 3 years old and came to ACCT when he was shot. Yup, he spent over a month in ICU with a wound in his side, he’s all better now, but needs to get out of the shelter.

Forgotten Friends of Long Island

Forgotten Friends of Long Island Animal Rescue Group is dedicated to the rescue of companion animals which have been in municipal shelters for an extended periodic of time, overlooked by both the general public and by rescues. Sadly, and through no fault of their own, these animals are homeless and wait patiently to be euthanized.

Here is a list of some of the dogs for adoption: http://www.forgottenfriendsoflongisland.org/Dogs.html

They also urgently need foster homes: http://www.forgottenfriendsoflongisland.org/Why_Foster_.html

This is a wonderful organization, please consider to help!!!

Manhattan Compassion Program at AC&C!

Animal Care and Control of Manhattan is in desperate need of dog lovers (you MUST be a pittie fan) who have a minimum of 3 evening hours a week to devote to making sure the dogs who are most at risk to be euthanized the next morning get an evening walk, food, a treat, and a comforter before they go to sleep.

We have volunteers and staff to care for these wonderful animals before 6pm, but are extremely short handed after that. As a result, lots of dogs are forced to 'hold it in' until the next morning. In addition, we feel these dogs deserve encouragement, affection, and a chance to breathe in some night air. Life in a cage is not fun by any means, and the animals really do depend entirely on the kindness of people to alleviate their suffering. YOU can help!

You need to be as reliable as the sun (SHOW UP when you say you will), a hard worker, and able to deal with grief--but you'll meet new friends, interact with amazing dogs, and get 80 tons of good karma points in return. It's truly a life changing experience!

Respond to compassionacc@gmail.com to be trained, encouraged, and mentored by ME, or someone even better than me, in lovely, sunny East Harlem!!

Yuval Mendelovitz and the dogs need your help due to the coming cold winter in Israel.

Yuval Mendelovitz and the dogs need your help due to the coming cold winter in Israel.

As most of you know Yuval and his dogs have moved to a new location. Yuval currently has a one-room barn and some outdoor space. This location is not fully equipped as of yet and many of the dogs there still need to be separated and rehabilitated. Sadly approx. 20 dogs are living outdoors (the rest are living with Yuval in the barn).
It is very cold, windy and rainy. Yuval is doing everything he possibly can to cover their cages and try keep them dry and warm but the task is very hard.

At this point he needs to raise money so that he can buy heavy-duty nylon sheets to cover the cages. These poor souls are suffering from the cold and really need your help!

To donate money for winter supplies, please call Technical Warehouse, a store Yuval has an arrangement with to accept donations, ask for Hagar and tell them that you would like to donate money for Yuval Mendelovitz.
Telephone 011-972-9-8822903 (the nunber in israel is 09-8822903)
All credit cards will be accepted via the phone.

If you prefer a local number, you can call me and provide me with card info. I will transfer it to the supply store in Israel.
My number is 917 596 6492

Thank you once again for all the generosity

Edison: Municipal Animal Shelter

Edison: Municipal Animal Shelter is located in New Jersey.

The pit bulls at this shelter on not advertised to the public for adoption and only rescue groups can pull them.
They are walked once a week and the rest of the time sit in there cold cage.
There is a real pit bull crisis there and MANY are put to sleep on a weekly basis.

If you are a rescue group, please consider these poor dogs!

So you wanna volunteer at the Edison Municipal Animal Shelter? Well, sure you can! But, there are a few steps you need to follow beforehand.

First and foremost, do you like animals? (Haha, just kidding; obviously you do, or else you wouldn't be in this club.) No, really, you may be an animal-lover, but are you comfortable with handling them? At the shelter, you will probably be walking the dogs. If you have a dog of your own and/or are relatively comfortable around them, then you should be fine.

Next, you must get an application from Mrs. Hubbard. They're usually right outside the door of room A7, but if not, ask for one in person. The application must be filled out completely and signed by your parent/guardian. Volunteering at the shelter is a serious task and does present some risk, since you're dealing with animals whose behaviors are never fully predictable. Your parents/guardians need to be aware of where you are and what you're doing.

After submitting your application, you will be informed of when the next orientation will be held. Attending an orientation is MANDATORY for all shelter volunteers. At the orientation, which is essentially a tour, a shelter employee will show you and a small group of other volunteer-hopefuls around the shelter and the do's and don'ts of handling the animals. Again, you MUST attend the orientation; otherwise, you cannot volunteer.

When you've met all of the aforementioned requirements, you are then able to volunteer at the Edison Municipal Animal Shelter! Volunteer sessions will be held almost every Wednesday from 5:30PM to 7:30PM.

Beaten-down dog from Vick case has his day

Read this amazing article:
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - It’s a dog’s life. And for Leo it couldn’t be better.

Leo — rescued from heavy chains that confined him as one of the pit bulls in former NFL quarterback Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring — is a lover, not a fighter. He now happily frolics in a clown collar as he makes the rounds at the Camino Infusion Center, where he brings comfort to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Adopter returns handsome blk/white ABD mix to shelter

Dear animal advocates,

Please crosspost this message for the general public. Please do not clog rescuers' inboxes with it-- while I'd be happy to step aside and let another qualified rescue take this dog, I think most rescues have enough going on to be bothered with another rescuer's pleas. I also remind you that New Hope Partners cannot pull for any other rescue.

Anything you can do to get this great dog some exposure to the public where he might find a qualified foster home would be so appreciated!

Yours,

Emily Gear
Louie's Legacy

************************************************

Moron adopter returns handsome blk/white ABD mix to shelter (Is it a day that ends in "y"?)

This exceedingly handsome and stately gentleman is Spot. Spot had a home last night. Tonight, he does not. His dimwitted adopter returned him to the shelter today, saying he looked like he had mange, and he didn't want to pay to treat it.Knowing the pain these animals suffer daily, it is beyond me how someone could stand in line with a dog they had fed, loved and cared for-- even shared moments with for a year could turn around and discard them.

Spot has been discarded.

This 3-year-old American Bulldog Mix is friendly with people and other dogs. He is a handsome brute that does need more obedience training-- he pulls hard on a leash. He weighs 63 lb, but it's all muscle. He needs an experienced owner who's willing to work with him, teach him leash manners, and make him a gentleman. He'll already come with undying loyalty and devotion. Give him a family and a home, a real reason for his living.

DEMODEX MANGE, if he even has it, is NON-CONTAGIOUS. The rescue will provide treatment, but he needs a foster home to recover in. I think it would be a safe bet to say NO CATS, and no SMALL CHILDREN, because of his strength.

Please offer to foster SPOT, so we can help him escape with his life-- again.

Chico in cage 19

I got this heartbreaking message today:

in imminent danger.

I am a volunteer at the Edison Animal Shelter and advisor for an animal welfare group at the high school where I teach. Our students work with the animals each week.

There is a nice pitbull puppy, male, cream-colored, 1 1/2 yrs old, "Chico," in cage 19.
Chico was surrendered because his family was moving. He is neutered and up to date with his shots. He is friendly, playful and has a nice disposition, and waits quietly, without barking in his cage to be taken out. Chico has not exhibited any aggression toward other dogs, nor any food aggression either, and walks well on leash. He has behaved nicely.

Unfortunately, Chico cannot go for adoption to the public, as it is the shelter's policy that pitbulls may only go to a rescue. Edison is a municipal, kill shelter, and if a rescue does not take him, his time will run out soon, as they are full now.

Are you able to help with placement with Chico, or do you have any suggestions as to who might be able to help him?

Any assistance you can give him will be greatly appreciated. I am attaching a picture of him.

Thank you.

eldahubbard@hotmail.com

UPDATE:

Got this today:

Several days ago I sent out a plea for Chico, a 1 1/2 yr old puppy who was at a kill shelter and at high risk of being euthanized last week. I was not able to find a placement for him, so a rescue pulled him and I decided to foster him until I could find him a good home.
Chico is a nice pup who was obviously very stressed from 2 months in the shelter. He only got out of the cage when we, the volunteers, went there once a week. The rest of the time he was in an indoor cage. He was very thin and had a skin rash when I brought him home. I took him to the vet and he is now on medication for parasites and on antibiotics for the skin rash. He is doing well, has a voracious appetite, and is adjusting to the new home.

However, I still need to find a permanent home for him, as he and my 7 yr old male Shepherd are not the best of friends. Chico wants to play and my Shepherd wants no part of it, plus the fact that both males are competing for dominance and attention. He is sweet, VERY intelligent, is learning commands (although still a little stubborn) and will make a nice companion for an experienced person who can discipline him properly.

I would appreciate anything you can do to help me find him a good home. If you have a website, could you please post him on it? He is a good little pup.

Thank you very much.

Yuval Mendelovitz's cry for help!

Yuval Mendelovitz, also known as the Angel of the Pit bulls and Mastiffs, is an extraordinary young man, having dedicated his life to saving “bully” dogs in Israel. A while back he lost his lease and has been desperately seeking a new place for him and his dogs. He originally had 3 options but they all fell through and now he has NO where to go. He has been receiving threats saying his dogs will get poisoned and hurt.

This is a real desperate cry out for help, if he does not find a new place his dogs will end have on death row at various city shelters.

He is open to ANY area in Israel, if you have any ideas or suggestions please call 011-972-54-6647884

To learn more about Yuval you can read the best friends article:

thoughts....

I can't take all the sad stories lately...all the sad faces that just want to make me cry.
Owners that neglect there dogs, throw them out like garbage....the ACC and other shelters are PACKED with dogs many sweet Pit Bulls begging for some human touch.

Betty is still at the ACC waiting for a miracle....

xo

Can you save sweet Betty????

Sweet Betty is stuck at the ACC hell house.

Can you save her?

this is the info:
Shelter Staff made the following comments about this animal:
A VOLUNTEER WROTE: Betty tugs at my heartstrings. At 75 lbs and just 2 years old, this young little chubster was found on VanSiclen in Queens and brought to the shelter by a nice police officer. She is a wiggly girl who is gentle and kind, just looking up to you and waiting for her next little bit of human love. She got a great score on our behavioral test, and the behaviorist even said that she became protective of him. The test lasts about 5-10 minutes...imagine what a great and loyal pet she would be if you took her into your home and kept her for the rest of her years?!! I can hardly comprehend that kind of love :) come get her!

For more information about this animal, call:

Ask for information about animal ID number A831630
unaltered female, brown brindle and white Pit Bull Terrier mix.

The shelter staff think I am about 2 years and 1 month old.

I have been at the shelter since Sep 27, 2009.

a must read: New York ACC

YOU MUST READ THIS, written by a women that visited the New York ACC......

FROM MARY JO Karen and I went to the ACC today to pull Thomas, the 10 year old owner surrender, shep mix. He is an amazing dog, big, strong and yet a gentle giant, just like his volunteer description said!!! He is now safe and sound at Narrows!

While there, I did what I have never done before. I went into the shelter and actually looked at the pets for adoption. I never do this because I have always thought it to be too painful and I was right in one way, but wrong in another. By seeing first-hand all the animals that are at RISK of dying, I felt an equal feeling of desperation, but determination to make my visit count!!!

First of all, there are tons of wonderful cats there! Super friendly, really pretty, all ages and literally dying for a home!! Some are so sad, and just sit in the cage without even letting on they know you are there, then there were many other who came to the front of their cages to give me their heads to pet... and others were putting their little paws out to shake hands!!! These cats are all full of life!!! They are begging, in their own quiet way, for someone to save them from a death they don't deserve. It hurts to look them in the eye and to know that their time is limited. The only thing that made me feel me control the flow of impending tears was knowing that as soon as I got home, I would write this email to everyone I know to ask them to please, please encourage people to take a ride to the shelter and adopt or foster!!!

Then, of course there are tons of beautiful, desperate pits begging for someone to take them home. As I walked by the cages, I couldn't stand the feeling of helplessness that was overcoming me. I want to help them all, but I can't. I beg you to encourage any pit lovers you know to visit the shelter ASAP... there are some incredible dogs, again literally dying for a home... No exaggeration... these dogs don't have much time.... so please, make an effort to advocate on their behalf.

Then, I walked into the small dog room. There were two very anxious beagles crying their hearts out.... really pretty dogs....anyone who loves the beagle breed, you can get yourself a fantastic dog right now... so head on over to the shelter today!

There ws also a cute little light beige chi anxiously waiting to be noticed. Please, all you chi lovers - get going...what a sweet doggie!

Next were two dogs that ripped my heart out. Two poodle mixes, both 12 years old, both owner surrenders. The white one is in such a desperate need of a grooming. She appears to be so neglected looking but yet, came to the front of her cage and gave me her little nose to rub... a sweet, calm, gentle little dog.... the black one, while not badly groomed, actually sat with his back to us, as if to let us know that he had given up! It was like he surrendered his soul to the death that awaits him if not taken out of there soon. I felt sick! Please, if anyone can help with these guys.... get going... they were not listed on the website when I last looked, but they are very much there!!

And lastly, there was a 5 year old YORKIE. If a dog could look confused, then this guy was confused. He looked disheveled and emotionless. It was the saddest thing I have ever seen... He didn't respond to us in any way at all, other than to just look deeply into my eyes as if to say... "so you are here... now what are you going to do for me? Got any answers?"

...and I can't forget my visit to the dog sick room, which is in all actuality, just one step before death... that was the room I took Thomas from. There were four beautiful pits there. All still very much full of life. Each one stood up on his back legs to lick my hands and show me that, "YES, I am sick, so they say, but I still want to LIVE. I am full of LIFE!, just look at my non-stop wagging tail"...

I felt sick, very sick as I left the shelter with ONLY ONE DOG. I wanted to leave with twenty dogs and twenty cats.

Can each of you reading this email, please reach out to as many people as you possibly can, and ask them to please consider adopting a dog or cat from the ACC today!!! Or consider fostering...THE NEED IS ENORMOUS and death awaits all those who don't get out!!! Perfectly beautiful pets, dead because no one wants to go to the ACC! Let's change this.... Let's make it so that they run out of pets... Let's make it that they have nothing to EUTH at the end of the day!!! It is a tall order, but if you don't reach for the stars when it comes to stuff like this.... then animals will continue to die in crazy numbers.

The ACC is close, only a 20 minute car ride from Bay Ridge!!!

Thanks for reading this long email and please get motivated to make a difference for these pets who are counting on us to be their voice and to make their existence known to the people outside those four shelter walls!!!

Thanks,

Mary Jo

AND EVEN MORE PATHETIC....WHEN BUSTER WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD, HE WAS IN A VERY ABUSIVE HOME AND THAT'S WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER RESCUED & ADOPTED HIM AND WAS THE 'BEST' FAMILY DOG.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS STAYED IN CONTACT WITH THE SHELTER AND SAYS SHE IS HEARTBROKEN ABOUT BUSTER STUCK IN A CAGE..BUT SHE CAN'T HAVE ANY DOGS WHERE SHE IS LIVING WITH HER KIDS.

beautiful boy for adoption!

Got this message from Emily @ www.louieslegacy.org

Please help me save this calm, sweet, gentle, blue boy by reposting for his life--- please keep in mind I can pull him for an approved foster or adopter, but I am prohibited from pulling for another rescue group-- not my rules, but I have to play by them.

Thanks so much for any help you can give in putting his little face out there!

Best,

Gorgeous BLUE NOSE boy with A+ behavior eval - little time to live!


This is "Mazinger", a gorgeous, compact, silvery hunk. He is currently in the city shelter, and we are working hard to save him before his time is up. Are you looking for an awesome family dog? Have pit experience, or willing to learn? You could be the one for him!

This is what a volunteer wrote about this special guy: Gorgeous blue-nose Mazinger is a looker, and a lover - all in one. At 4 years old, he weighs a slim 40 lbs and still has playful puppy energy but knows how to sit and how to do his business outside! He is the best of both worlds and it's pretty clear he's had a loving owner at one point before. Mazinger was found as a stray, but we know he loves belly rubs and is very affectionate! When he was snuggled up to me and couldn't reach my face, he'd kiss my arm instead. He is very submissive and sociable and received our staff's highest praise for his behavior.

If you would like to meet Mazinger, PLEASE email us at emily@louieslegacy.org

We don't have much time-- please email now to save his life.

OR, you can get a head-start and apply here: www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

Mazinger will come neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and microchipped.

Pit needs home!

This dog needs a home. This wonderful woman found him roaming the streets back in april and took him in. The owners came forward so she gave the dog back. Now the owners brought the dog back to Illeann saying they cannot keep him. He looks to be a pure breed blue pit. Very mushy beautiful dog. If anyone knows anyone please contact Rosanna luvyourdog11@optonline.net He is young, looks to be about 2 years old.

Humane Society for Hamilton County Sends Urgent Plea for Help

Humane Society for Hamilton County

URGENT NOTICE: The shelter has reached capacity on both dogs and cats. We are in desperate need of adoptive and foster homes. Please visit the shelter today.

A Plea for Help from the Executive Director

Above picture is one of the URGENT dogs in need of a home. Here is his story:

Sedric is a 5 years old Pit Bull terrier-mix who was surrendered to the shelter in October along with his companion Pauly. The owner said she could no longer keep the dogs. Sedric is mostly white with the exception of his brindled left eye and ear. He has not gotten into somebody’s lipstick; his lips are just naturally pink! (They match his ears) When visiting with Sedric the first thing I noticed was how very thin he is; you can see every rib. This boy needs to go to Golden Corral and go back for thirds. Like Pauly, Sedric has lived with his owner since he was a little pup. He is naturally confused about being here, but he is willing to socialize with everyone he meets. It may take him a while to really warm up, but he loves attention and enjoys playing. He might play a little rough for small children, and we think he would do best being the only pet in the family. During his temperament testing, Sedric scored very well in his social skills and ability to follow directions. He has been neutered so he is ready to go home with his new family

For those who followed Nico's story....

The DogoMan Show: A Fundraiser Event About Dogs

Hello, my name is Nelson Gold Candolino. I am a dog trainer and an artist here in New York City, starting out as a dog walker seven years ago. Last spring, I made the decision to write and produce a show about and starring dogs. I have a great love for them, which has only grown more since I began training as a career. I believe dogs have the power to heal. My ultimate goal with this show is to start to raise money to help rescue homeless dogs, to help shelters and to establish a sanctuary, for dogs who I can train to be therapy dogs. I am looking for any kind of support in order to promote the show that I am producing/directing and co-staring in with 9 Dogs on stage, plus an 8 year old tap dancer, along with other singers and performers. The Dogoman Show is a benefit show that will be held at the beautiful Poet's Den Theatre this September 9th, in East Harlem, Manhattan.

Pugsley Urgently needs a home!

Pugsley is a 10-year old 90% blind pug. He had a severe pneumonia and a horrible ear infection when we rescued him from the shelter.

Pugsleys story is a sad one. Pugsley was fostered and adopted months ago. His adoptive family does not want him anymore. Pugsley has an issue with marking in the house. This can easily be resolved by crating or training. Pugsley needs a home where someone will understand him and give him the attention and care he needs.

Pugsley is available for adoption but also needs a foster home. If you could find it in your heart to give this senior blind dog a loving home, please contact Rosanna 516-945-4235

When it comes to choosing the right dog, it's not reality that bites. It's the seemingly endless list of myths and misconceptions that result in too many people bringing a dog into their family that's exactly the wrong one for them whi...le passing up a dog who might have been a perfect match.Read More

once again - DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG IN THE CAR!

Duration: 10 Minutes
You may be surprised to find out how high temperatures can soar within the interior of a car during a hot, sunny day.

However, it is important to note that the outside temperature does not have to be hot in order for a car to become an oven-like death trap. Even temperatures considered mild can lead to death during an extended period of time.

PLEASE PLEASE do not leave any living soul in the car (not your dog, cat, child..etc)!
This is a real crime!

Bucket (the cute black and white dog)
A 1.5 year old Hound mix. Bucket was rescued from Manhattan Animal Control just hours before he was scheduled to be killed.

Bucket is being fostered in a home with children, cats and other dogs. His foster mom calls him "Doof Head". He is a love able dog with a zest for life. He is neutered, up to date on shots, housetrained and knows basic commands.

Dutch (the golden brown dog)
This is DUTCH!
Dutch spent 10 months in a small cage at a municipal shelter. Because of his brindle (beautiful) coat, people just kept passing him by. Noone gave Dutch a glance, noone took him out of his cage to see what his personality was like. Dutch was only about 1.5 old so he spend his puppy stage just sitting in a small cage waiting for someone to give him a chance.

Forgotten Friends gave him that chance. He proved to be a sweet dog. Dutch did not know what it was like to have a nice warm place to sleep; he did not know what it was like to play with toys and he did not know what it was like to go for a car ride... For 10 months Dutch was just a number,

Dutch is a 1-2 year old Plott Hound mix who was picked by the shelter as stray. He is a handsome boy who shows nothing but love, playfulness and affection even after all he's been through. He knows "sit" and "stay"

Dutch is people and dog friendly and loves his Chihuahua foster brother, Rocky & Scungeeli.

Come meet Bucket and fall in love!

I have a real soft spot for Rottweiler's.....

I have a real soft spot for Rottweiler's.
My first love was a Rottweiler, she was such a sweet baby and lived with me through my rough teenage years, until she sadly died of cancer when I was 19 years old. She would sleep in my bed, cuddle with me, listen to me and just be there for me through everything.
Her name was Nita and she was a sweetheart!

The reason I bough that up is I came across a real sad and disgusting case of neglect towards a Rottweiler in Israel.
The dogs name is Jake and he is 1 years old.
His owners have been holding him chained to a tight and very short heavy metal chain in the backyard no matter what the weather was like (and in Israel it gets REALLY HOT). He was beaten on a regular basis. (he crawls up into a little ball anytime someone raises his hand next to him) When found he was weighing only 26 Kilo (about 52 lbs) which is half the weight a dog his size should weigh, and having real struggles standing up. He was been fed a small plate of food once a week and who knows how often he drank water.

Despite all of this he is affectionate and loving!
He is now in need of a home.

Located in Israel.

Earth Angels Canine Rescue in NYC

Every Wednesday and Thursday I walk by Emelinda Narvaez at Union Square with some of her dogs and every Wednesday and Thursday I donate money with teary eyes as I look at the sad dogs sitting in there cages waiting for a new loving home.

I wish I could do more...I wish people would not buy dogs and I wish people would be responsible loving pet owners.

God bless Emelinda Narvaez for the goodness in her heart to create this wonderful rescue group and make a difference in this world. Emelinda takes in dogs that others write off as too sick, too old, too ugly, or too unmanageable, as well as the healthiest, sweetest and the newborns!

Above are some pictures of the sweet sweet dogs up for adoption.

Best Friend rescued 22 dogs:

We call them the Vicktory Dogs - 22 pit bulls seized from ex-NFL star Michael Vick and placed in special care at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. They're here because they had nowhere else to go.

Many of them are suffering from serious psychological and emotional trauma, similar to what you see in children from situations of abuse and neglect. Many of them had been forced to fight to the death - like gladiators in some primitive arena.

Boy gathers birthday gifts for animal shelter

Signs with typical motivational phases that say "leadership" and "possibilities" adorn the plain white walls of the Lake Dallas Animal Services lobby. The cliche work-harder signs just happen to describe the atypical actions of a nine-year-old boy from Lake Dallas.

On day wile watching TV, Collin Culberson was inspired by the story of others helping animal shelters and decided he would do the same. Culberson asked birthday party guests to donate to the animal shelter instead of giving him presents.

Rio was left by his family at the shelter.....

Got this message today...

I am a volunteer at the Edison Animal Shelter. I am writing about a great all around dog at the Edison Animal Shelter, "Rio." (cage 15) Rio was left by his family at the shelter in June, on what was to be a temporary stay, however, they never returned for him.

Rio is a young, brindle, unneutered male who appears to be a pit/(maybe Lax) mix. It is the Edison Shelter's policy not to adopt out pits or pit mixes to individuals; they must go to rescues. Because of this, Rio must find a rescue to get out of the shelter! He is a great dog and walks well on leash. He was evaluated by a dog trainer and did not show any dog aggression. He is friendly, and has a good disposition. He is not a high energy dog, and would be fine with 2 walks a day and a little play time.

A placement with a rescue must be found for him. Are you able to help, or do you have any suggestions as to who I might contact to help place him?

Any assistance will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
