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.

there are more...here is the facebook album>

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!

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.

This is my request list from us humans

This is my request list from us humans:

1. when you relocate take your dog with you
2. don't leave your dog in the car or tied up ever
3. don't abandon them because you just had a baby or re-designed the house
4. don't through them in the shelter because they do not have a puppy face anymore
5. be kind to them, they have feelings
6. don't abuse them
7. love them like your children

All of this will make you a better person and an example to your surroundings!

http://www.oldies.org.uk

http://www.oldies.org.uk is a great organization in the UK that helps older dogs find homes.

The above picture is one of there urgent cases.

Here is his story (go to there website if you can help):

Max came into Oldies Club care as an emergency case recently after his elderly owner had a fall and broke his hip and wasn’t found for several days. Very sadly we’ve since heard that his owner died. Max’s owner was agoraphobic and so Max is used to his constant company. At the moment having had such a big change in his life, he can become stressed if he is left alone even for short periods. He prefers to sleep in the same room as his person too. All this is very understandable given that he has lost his beloved owner and is no doubt worried he will be left alone again, but it does mean that he needs a very special and understanding fosterer or foster family.

Max is 11 years old and apart from his worries about being left, is a laid-back, placid boy who loves everyone. He adores people of all ages and he’s great with children. We think he’s also rather handsome too! He doesn’t need much walking: in fact he’d probably be quite happy just with access to a garden to potter about in.

He is currently in a foster home in Bracknell, Berks and his foster mum adores him, but we now need to find Max a permanent home or another foster place, as he gets quite upset about being left. He needs someone who can be around to keep him company most of the time, or perhaps a family environment where there is always someone in the house.

Is there anyone around most of the time who would like to open up their home to this wonderful old gent?

a tragic PITTIE

please read this...


We are The Mutt Scouts a 501c3 non profit org. For those that wish for a tax exempt receipt for their donation, please email us at The following is the the background on this Unnamed deaf white Pit in the emotionally brutal photo that has been passed around the internet. Brief History: This poor handsome guy first caught the attention of us at The Mutt Scouts when we were at the shelter checking on some dogs of interest. We returned on Sunday to bail a couple dogs -and if you follow our blog- http://themuttscouts.wordpress.com/ - wound up bailing many more. This Pit was not available that day but Nikki took the haunting pic that has everyone rallying for this guy's move to safety and to a facility that has the space and faculty to start his surgery, healing and rehab. Enter Kelly Gibson who was so moved by this image that she drove from San Diego up to LA to meet him. Kelly found what we did, that he was not the savage that he has been called and so deserves mercy and opportunity. Kelly's close friend, Rebecca, is the executive director of the Hamilton County Humane Society in Indiana. Rebecca has not only the desire and facilities to provide a chance for this guy, but also works with a trainer that is going to take him into her home and make his daily rehab her priority. We do not adopt out of state and have an iron clad rule not to allow networked dogs out of state either. Naturally we were skeptical when approached. But after extensive checking into Rebecca and speaking to her, we feel confident that she is so very competent, enormously dedicated and essentially the real deal. Therefore we started this fundable to help cover cost of pull, transport to a facility here for two weeks and his immediate care to be followed by his transport to her facility in Indiana. Anything left over will be handed off to his new care provider. Here is a six year old deaf dog sitting on Death Row who has been drug through hell in his life that sparked nationwide interest because of a picture. He is now being afforded a legitimate future and the possibility of pictures reflecting a vastly improved, nurturing quality of life. Huge thanks to all donators, all of you concerned for his well-being and all those reposting his story. If you have any other questions please email us at themuttscouts@gmail.com
