Please help Tickles

Tickles has been 2 years at the shelter. She urgently needs a home.



Lately, she's been getting quite withdrawn at the
shelter and what we term "depressed". Sometimes she
doesn't even want to leave her cage for her walks.

It's a real problem and an urgent situation.
I'm hoping that with your help, through crossposting
and getting the word out about Tickles' somehow
there will be someone that will want to meet Tickles
and take her home. I think sometimes finding the
right owner for a certain dog or cat who has been
at a shelter a long time is just a matter of circulating
their story to enough people.

To learn more information about Tickles you can
visit www.bobbiandthestrays.orgg and find her
on the "Adopt a Pet" page there.

Dogs in China need help!

Today I have decided to post something really sad and depressing...how dogs are treated in China.

This is an article that caught my eye:

Jackie Chan Urges China to 'Have a Heart' for Dogs

As a PETA affiliate's representatives meet with Chinese officials following the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of dogs, actor Jackie Chan has created a unique greeting card that will be auctioned off to benefit PETA Asia-Pacific's humane rabies-control campaign.

Shaped like a heart, Chan's card features the Chinese characters for "love" and "respect" along with the actor's signature and this inscription: "Of course it is our duty as human beings to love and respect each other. But that obligation extends to our animal friends as well. They are just as deserving of our care and kindness."

We have good news: Representatives of our Asia-Pacific affiliate are in China and have confirmed that reports indicating that Nanjing had plans to slaughter dogs are inaccurate. PETA Asia-Pacific’s chief representative and his colleague met with Ministry of Agriculture officials and toured a local animal shelter in late August and were told that the city has neither a rabies control problem nor any need to kill any dogs. We also understand that Mouding has stopped killing dogs (this is where most of the dogs have already been killed), although we are still trying to confirm this report.

PETA Asia-Pacific’s representatives then traveled to Jinning and met with officials from the mayor’s office, who stated that no dogs are currently being killed. Our affiliate’s visit to the office drew major attention to humane rabies prevention programs, and the representatives are in contact with other Chinese city governments to make sure that these routine, inhumane, and ineffective dog slaughters are a thing of the past.

One desperate Chinese woman wrote to an American friend, “I’m really worried about the dogs and cats. But I can’t do anything in my country! Could you do me a favor? If it is possible, could you find some information and send it back to your country? Public opinion maybe can stop this silly activity! This is the only [thing] I can do for the harmless animals.” PETA has received more than 15,000 letters from citizens around the world that we will deliver in person to Chinese authorities. Please get family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, delivery people, and everyone else you know to add their voices today.

* Photos of the mass dog murders are being sent around by compassionate Chinese citizens who are desperate for help from the international community.

Lynx the sweetheart

I will be away for 2 weeks, so there might not be any postings for those 2 weeks.

I do continue to think of all the precious dogs sitting in the various shelters waiting for homes.

Here is 1 dog in particular that has touched my heart lately:

She has been lying at the shelter for longest time...almost a year and has the sweetest eyes. Please consider this precious dog, she really deserves human touch.

Her name is Lynx. She is at a shelter in Brooklyn New York.
She is a little over a year old and is a pit bull mix.
She was found after she was run over by a car and Miraculously nothing happened to her.

She is very sweet and playful but would need training ( She has regression issues with other female dogs and pulls really heard when you walk).
She is great with people and older kids. She just needs a home that will allow her to be active and at the same time train her. The reason I say older kids is just because she is so active and might knock a small child over mistake. She is not aggressive towards adults and kids. She might be best to live with someone that is very sporty, maybe someone that wants a running companion ...that can be active with her on a daily basis. She will return the love to you! She is true gem!!!

If you want to meet her call 718-436-5163 between 11am-7pm and ask for Sean.

Here is her video:

a happy pit bull story

Any dog who can pretend to snore while keeping one eye open on the sly is a keeper for sure! And as far as her new family is concerned—not to mention the entire neighborhood—Scarlet the pit bull is more than just a keeper. She’s an inspiration.
Wes and Melissia McBride of Rolla, Missouri, were on the Best Friends website hoping to find a dog to adopt. At first, they thought perhaps one of the Vicktory dogs, but most of them are still not ready for homes. When they contacted Best Friends, the adoption staffers pointed them toward Scarlet on Adorable Adoptables. Melissia says that one look at Scarlet’s picture was all it took—oh, and it didn’t hurt one bit that Scarlet’s description said she is a snuggler! It was time to come out and meet her.

If they had any doubts whatsoever, they were laid to rest the moment they laid eyes on Scarlet. To set the scene, Scarlet came riding up in a golf cart for that first “meet and greet.” As soon as she saw them, Scarlet ran over and jumped up to pass out some slobbery kisses! It was love at first sight both ways.

And it has been love at first sight ever since. Back home, Scarlet and the four kids in the family (ages seven through fourteen) are inseparable. She knows when their school bus arrives and everything. When the kids get home, Scarlet is there, ready to say hello. All the other school kids love her, too, as does the rest of the neighborhood and every customer who sets foot in the store where Wes and Melissia work......
