Don’t You Want A Honey Bear?

Posted: 12 Jun 2009 07:11 AM PDT

Since we’re on the topic of senior dogs, here is a beautiful girl who desperately needs a home.

As I was finishing up the articleSenior Benefits I received an email about Honey Bear. She was rescued by The Pepper Foundation in Studio City, CA.

Honey Bear’s story…
We rescued Honey Bearfrom the Harbor Animal Shelter in San Pedro where her family dumped her cause they said they could no longer care for her. She is the sweetest dog ever! She is about 12 yrs old but is very agile and still active. She is very affectionate and give sweet kisses! she will make a wonderful companion and wants to be your best friend! Please give Honey Bear a chance, she wont let you down!

Contact: Julie Chadwick via email.

About Our Rescue Group…
We rescue dogs mostly out of the Los Angeles City shelters and find loving and forever homes for them. We mostly take in the special needs, and senior doggies on their last days at the shelter. A lot of the time these animals have been abandoned and we want to give them a second chance at a forever loving home. Donations are always welcome since we operate by donations only..You can always make a paypal donation to Planetheart. We are a 501 c 3 and all donations are tax deductible.

I have to believe someone out there is going to look at that precious face and contact the shelter about adopting her. Don’t you just want to grab hold of Honey Bear and shower her with love?

PAWS takes in 34 dogs from Kennewick puppy mill
On Saturday, PAWS took in 34 of the more than 370 neglected dogs seized from a suspected Kennewick, Washington puppy mill operation. With hearts beating rapidly, staff met the kind volunteer who drove the dogs across the state, and welcomed the small, frightened creatures to our shelter.

Watch the story of the dogs' arrival at PAWS on KOMO TV.

This week, the dogs and puppies, all American Eskimo dogs, minis, or mixes of the breed, are receiving much-needed medical attention, thorough grooming, and behavior evaluations. Most are going to experienced and loving foster homes to spend time in a quiet, home environment to recuperate and receive crucial socialization. After spending their entire lives in cramped cages with little or no positive humane interaction, it will take time for these pups to adapt to every day life, such as being inside a home or walking on grass.

The earliest the dogs will be available for adoption is the middle of June. If you are interested in adopting one of these special needs dogs, first read more about the reality of providing a home for a dog rescued from a puppy mill. Interested adopters must come to PAWS in Lynnwood and talk to an adoption counselor in person.

How can you help?
If you are not ready to adopt one of these puppy mill dogs, there are still plenty of ways you can help:

• Adopt another dog or cat already in our shelter. This will help open up space for other animals in need.
• Drop off supplies. PAWS needs small dog toys, small dog collars, canned dog food, and towels of all sizes. Hours of operation and directions to PAWS.
• Become a foster parent. While these puppy mill dogs are going to already trained foster homes, that means those foster families aren't available for other animals in need. PAWS is always in need of loving, attentive foster volunteers to provide temporary care for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in their homes.
• Donate today. At a time when our services are being used more than ever, PAWS is stretching our dollars to help care for these new arrivals, and ensure that they are placed into permanent, loving homes.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion for animals in need!

In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Food Lion

Posted: 02 Jun 2009 05:48 AM PDT

Dogster member Mozart gave me a bark to share the news about a new way to donate to the North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue, located in NC.

Food Lion grocery stores are donating a small portion of the proceeds of your bill every time you shop using your MVP Card. All you need to do is sign up on the NMAR website, just use the online formfilling our your name and 12  digit MVP number.

Voilá, the North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue starts receiving much needed donations. Easy, safe, and painless.

The NMAR is a wonderful organization who give dogs like Ana, pictured, a chance to have a normal life. Beautiful Ana hasn’t had it easy, she’s lived at the shelter since she was four months old, over 2 1/2 years.

This poor girl has been with us since she was a 4 month old pup, and was feral for all intents and purposes. A kind man was able to trap her and bring her to us with the hope that we might be able to turn her around. We attempted to present her for adoption, thinking that someone with a soft spot for tough cases would take her, but we had no interest from anyone. When she was only 8 months old, the vets discovered that she had extremely bad hips, and we did not expect her to live comfortably for long.

Amazingly, Ana has continued to surprise us. Although still very, very shy, she is sociable on her own terms, in her own time. She will sit for petting and loving as long as the human is also seated. She will often jump up on the couch and initiate the attention, even with people she has never met before. She has NEVER shown any aggression towards humans, she simply runs off when she is frightened. She plays with toys and snuggles with her doggie friends. Ana gets on well with every dog she has ever met, and runs and plays with exuberance despite the conditions of her hips. She has required very little pain medicine up to this point, and if you did not know she had hip issues, you would not be able to tell by watching her play.

Ana is going to require a very special family, preferably with no more than two dogs and parents who will have lots of time and love to give her.  If you think you’re the one please contact NMAR as soon as possible, there are some changes at the shelter and Ana desperately needs to move on to her forever home.
