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:

(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?

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

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.

Located at the ACCT in Philadelphia

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!!

Many thanks in advance!

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.
