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.
