sabilities.

Fluffy is a medium size male, approx. 3-4 years old. He was paralysed following a traffic accident and lay on the street for several days before someone took him into their yard. Although they saved him and did their best for him he’s clearly living a pitiful existence dragging himself around in the dirt at constant risk of infection.

Other than his obvious disability he is apparently in good health aside he’s lost his left eye but this was a while back.

My good friend Kerry runs Disabled Dog Rescue and has had a lot of luck in the past finding good homes in Europe or the US for disabled doggies but as yet we’ve had no one come forward for Fluffy. We have transport leaving Romania at the end of February and the transporter travels back through Europe enroute to the UK so Fluffy could be collected at any point along that main route if a place were found.

We are looking for either a forever home or a foster home which would buy us time whilst we look for a permanent home. We just want him out of Romania as he cannot receive the care he needs there. We would provide a mobility cart for him but should anyone come forward they would need to be prepared for looking after a disabled dog. This would mean their house would require lots of flat surfaces for him to get around on (when in and out of his cart) and they’d have to be prepared to change his nappies and wash him daily. Help and advice would of course be in abundance! Although disabled, Fluffy has the will to live a full and happy life and just needs that chance!

Contacts would be either myself or Kerry: -

Dog, savagely beaten, slowly recovers

Harley, a 2-year-old Rottweiler mix, had been beaten and stabbed by his owner, who then viciously smashed the poor dog’s teeth with a rifle butt.

Taken to a local shelter, Harley had over $2,500 worth of medical treatment. His damaged teeth needed to be removed on one side, and cuts all over his mouth and body had to be attended to and stitched up.

We are glad to report that Harley’s case was championed by an animal-advocate district attorney, Harley’s former owner was sentenced to 300 days in prison for animal cruelty -- and Harley was removed from his custody. Through donations by people like you, who care deeply about animals, American Humane Association helps provide a second chance at life for battered, mistreated, starving or homeless animals. But we can’t do it alone. We ask you to give generously, so that we can do more for the defenseless. This year, more than ever, we need your help to make sure that critically needed medical treatment for dogs like Harley will be provided. Treatment that enables them to recover from their injuries and learn to trust people again. Please donate now to give them a second chance.

$6,000 reward offered for information on brutal killing of 2 dogs - National Dogs | Examiner.com

$6,000 reward offered for information on brutal killing of 2 dogs - National Dogs | Examiner.com

Atlanta, GA -- The Atlanta Humane Society announced yesterday that it is adding $5,000 to the reward to find the person(s) responsible for two brutal dog killings.

The dogs, purebred chocolate Labs, wandered from their home on January 16. While they were away from their owner, someone tortured and killed them. Neighbors discovered the dogs' bodies on January 23 around 3:30 p.m. near Hutcheson Road in Bremen.

The dogs' owner is offering a $1,000 reward for information on the person responsible for the brutal killing.

The Carroll County Sheriff's office has reported that the dogs appear to have been beaten, shot and one appears to have been choked.

Someone capable of such brutality must be found and punished. People capable of brutal animal cruelty are frequently a danger to society as a whole.

Anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office at 770-830-5916. Investigators are currently following some leads, but they are asking that the public phone them if they have any additional tips or information.

Call or Email to Stop City From Sanctioning Animal Cruelty-Before Feb 14

An AKC breeder had Stella's vocal cords cut to suppress her voice.

On February 14, the Warwick (RI) City Council will vote on whether to approve an ordinance that, incredibly, allows vocal cord surgery cruelly used to stifle a dog’s or cat’s voice. Massachusetts recently passed a statewide ban on canine/feline vocal cord surgery unless medically necessary--the only ethical reason for this procedure. However, the Warwick ordinance is cleverly worded to permit devocalization for any reason: All the animal's owner has to do is claim it is a "last resort" for so-called “excessive” barking or meowing.

The Massachusetts Legislature rejected the behavioral exemption because it creates an obviously unenforceable, sham law that will hurt animals.

Why would Warwick allow such cruelty?

Because breeders who devocalize for their selfish best interest—when they or neighbors don’t tolerate the sound of their animals—lobbied the City Council to keep this cruel practice available. Now it’s time for people who care about animals as companions, not profit centers, to step up and protect them.

Act Now to Prevent Government-Sanctioned Animal Cruelty.

Just five minutes of your time will protect dogs and cats

from a lifetime of suffering...or premature, horrific death.

Tell City Council members to REMOVE the behavioral exemption--it allows and sanctions an act of animal cruelty. (Scroll down for more information.)

CONTACT:

Call (for the biggest impact) and/or email (important for the public record) these two key Council members. Put "Reject Behavioral Exemption" in the subject line. Keep it brief, and always be polite!

Warwick City Council President Bruce Place, 401-467-8734, bruce.s.place@warwickri.com

Councilman Joseph Solomon, 401-739-2291, joseph.j.solomon@warwickri.com

Copy the Council Liaison on emails: joanne.m.cournoyer@warwickri.com

Have a few more minutes? Also call and/or email as many other Council members as possible:http://www.warwickri.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=797&Itemid=237

EXPLAIN THAT:

The behavioral exemption makes the law unenforceable--and must be removed. It's obvious: No vet can know whether a client has pursued all humane options for managing behavior, and some won't ask. Even receipts for training don't mean the client followed the protocol, which requires time, effort and consistency. Vocal cord surgery is easier for everyone except the dog or cat, who is helpless to refuse it.

Devocalization must be prohibited with only one exception: medical necessity, to treat disease, injury or birth defects that are causing the animal physical harm.

Vocal cord surgery performed specifically to suppress the voice is an act of cruelty that responsible governments should not condone—but Warwick will if it passes an ordinance allowing devocalization as a so-called “last resort” for behavior.

Devocalization is profitable for the vet, easy for the client, which may discourage humane, nonsurgical means for preventing and resolving problem behaviors: responsible selection, housing, training and care of animals. Some breeds are prone to frequent vocalization; they and groups of animals shouldn’t be placed where noise is not tolerated. Others bark or meow persistently because they’re bored, lonely, distressed—or the owner inadvertently taught and reinforced the behavior. Should the animal be punished with risky, needless surgery for that?

Devocalization does NOT ensure animals a home. It subjects them to pain, stress and serious risks and complications--from a lifetime of gagging and difficulty breathing to horrific death--without benefit. Devocalized animals are given up for the same reasons as any other, such as when they're not useful for breeding or exhibition.

We are so overcrowded here and we really need a big appeal to get some sort of help here for the dogs in our house and the poor little ones outside, we are in a country that chucks dogs out like we chuck out the rubbish and their heartlessness never ceases to stun me and the cruelty with which they treat the poor dogs that they no longer want never ends!

Heartstick used at Miami-Dade Animal Services - WSVN-TV

To complain to the Mayor of Miami-

Dade: calvare@miamidade.gov, mayor@miamidade.gov, am13@miamidade.gov

SEE VIDEO: http://www.wsvn.com/features/articles/carmelcase/MI90897/

The Miami-Dade Animal Shelter, which has been the target of criticism for decades is once again under fire. This time, it involves a painful process to euthanize animals. Investigative reporter Carmel Cafiero is On the Case with a report that we should warn you shows cats and kittens being put down.


WSVN -- This silent video is from inside a-ward, the euthanasia room at Miami Dade Animal Services. In the cages cats and kittens about to die. This happens every day here and in shelters across the country.

But in this case, the technician is using a controversial and painful process called a heart stick. It is just that a needle is stuck in the animal's heart and a barbituate injected.

Grace Avila: "But its very painful, the animals should be heavily sedated or

anesthetized."

Carmel Cafiero: "Were these animals sedated?"

Grace Avila: "No, it would have taken twice as long if they were."

It was last October and Grace Avila was supposed to be assisting in a ward, but she says she had to leave the room when she saw what was going on.

Grace Avila: "I heard screaming because of the needle size, you have to use a larger needle to try to hit the right spot of the heart chamber."

Grace says a vet tech euthanized 30 cats in 15 minutes. She reported it to animal services administrators.

Dr. Sara Pizano: "And this is the one I just showed you."

Animal services director Dr. Sara Pizano says on the video, she can only be sure two cats were killed by heart sticks.

Carmel Cafiero: "That one it just died."

Dr. Sara Pizano: "That was the other one I felt I could see."

The worker was demoted because the method is prohibited by pizano.

Carmel Cafiero: "Because you would consider it to be cruel?"

Dr. Sara Pizano: "Yes."

And that might have been the end of this issue, but a few months after blowing the whistle on her co-worker, Grace Avila has now been fired. According to the director, the two are not connected.

Dr. Sara Pizano: "We have had chronic problems with her, many issues with staff that are documented."

Grace disagrees.

Grace Avila: "I feel they were trying to find reasons after this came about to fire me."

Attorney Jeffrey Weiner represents grace who he says will challenge her termination.

Jeffrey Weiner: "And now all of a sudden they begin to build a record to justify her firing? So this is typical. It's to be expected, Grace didn't expect it."

As for the use of the heart stick weiner says he thinks it was a violation of state cruelty laws and will ask for an investigation.

Jeffrey Weiner: "And I think the video and the testimony of my client makes it clear that what went on was cruel and totally against the law."

If there's an issue in the future about activity in the euthanasia room, there will be no video as proof.

The camera is no longer recording.

Dr. Sara Pizano: "I'm not willing to give the public or the media any ammunition to really create any more negative impressions about this shelter."

Despite increased adoptions 22,000 animals came into the shelter last year and never came out because nobody wanted them.

Dog dumped in sub-zero temperatures - National Dogs | Examiner.com

Utica, NY - Sub-zero temperatures were apparently no deterrant to the man that decided to tie his Pit bull to a table and walk away yesterday.

People hearing the early morning cries from the 3 yr-old dog contacted authorities. They found a dog covered in wounds, with icicles hanging from his body.

The police photo shows the dog's blood on the backseat of the patrol car, and the dejected, defeated face of misery.

Maryville, MO - Though the New Nodaway Humane Society is proud of their status as a No-Kill facility, they admit that they are struggling and need help.

The shelter does everything right - they actively promote their sheltered cats and dogs, and they work hand in hand with rescues and foster homes, but sometimes, even doing 'everything right', simply isn't enough.

Let's Adopt! Global's - Milos: Everything is dark... for now!

Milos was found at the side of the road back in September.
She was in a terrible condition, a broken leg, shaking in fear and, sadly... blind.
We don't know exactly the cause of her condition, whilst her eyes react to light her brain doesn't process the images.
She is currently at our clinic waiting to have a final diagnosis to see if her condition can be treated or if she will remain blind for life.
You are an animal lover... but are you the kind of animal lover that would open his home to a blind dog temporarily?

Please help me find a home for Milos..

Conditions for adoption:

1. Family MUST have an existing animal.
2. Milos MUST live inside the home, not on the garden.
3. Milos MUST be fed a RAW diet (www.rawfed.com)

and finally...

4. The family will be a non-smoking family. Second hand smoke kills and makes miserable the lifes of both humans and animals. Milos is blind and she has gone through too much in her short life already, at least now she will enjoy a clean crisp air in her new home.

Mass killing at Georgia dog pound triggers sadness and anger - National Dogs | Examiner.com

Lyons, GA - In a perfect world, only people that were dedicated to life-long dog ownership would exist. In a perfect world, animal shelters would not brim with unwanted pets discarded by the general public for every "move", "baby", or "busy schedule".

In a perfect world, the un-wanted would be wanted and euthanasia would be a word never uttered.

The world is far from perfect and modern-day solutions to problems are typically far from ideal. A mass killing of dogs at the City of Lyons Animal Shelter has sparked huge controversy and anger among animal advocates.

Let's Adopt! Global's - Albert, let's mend a broken spirit

Albert is an old German shepherd with three legs abandoned in a shelter in Istanbul.

A once majestic and proud animal that, because of a set of unfortunate circumstances finds himself, with an amputated leg, abandoned in a shelter in Turkey.
To animal lovers around the world there is not a worst sight that the sight of a broken spirit, and this is what I am showing you here today.
We need to find a home for Albert where he can spend the last years of his life surrounded by something that every dog deserves, a loving family.

Albert has a wonderful character, friendly to humans and animals, a great example of the best of his race... his only faults are that he is old, that he has three legs and that he was born in a society where animal feelings are rarely considered, and the moment they stop being useful they are discarded like garbage.

Please help me find a home for this amazing dog.

Conditions for adoption:

1. Family MUST have an existing animal.
2. Albert MUST live inside the home, not on the garden.
3. Albertl MUST be fed a RAW diet (www.rawfed.com)

and finally...

4. The family will be a non-smoking family. Second hand smoke kills and makes miserable the lifes of both humans and animals. Albert has gone through too much in his life already, at least now he will enjoy a clean crisp air in his new home.

West Hancock Canine Rescue is an Illinois 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to rescuing homeless animals, providing emergency care and finding them forever homes. This organization transports hundreds of dogs and cats each year from high-kill pounds and desperately needs funds to purchase a replacement transport van. Some of these animals are rescued from horrible puppy mill conditions, and without this rescue, would languish in wire cages, standing in their own feces and urine. Without the ability to transport these needy animals to the waiting rescues in the Chicago area, and beyond, the rescue would not be able to save the lives of these highly adoptable and deserving dogs and cats. Transports run every week and at every leg of the transport volunteers wait to deliver these companion animals to new forever homes. Please help us purchase a TRANSPORT VAN!

Henderson, NC - Chained Dog Rescued But Heartworm Positive ~PLEASE CHIP IN IF YOU CAN~

CHIPIN: http://katielovesdogs.chipin.com/heartworm-treatment

This sweet and energetic boy has spent his life on a chain. When I found him, he was chained to a tree, but his owners told me he had previously been chained to a post. He was never played with, fed regularly, or given proper shelter from the elements, besides an uninsulated dog house that he could barely get inside of due to the length of his chain.

When I found a rescue to take him in, they told me I would have to have him tested for heartworms and that they would reimburse me for his testing. Unfortunately, life on a chain without proper treatment has it's consequences. He tested positive for heartworm. Fortunately, the vet said it was only slightly positive, and that he has a great chance of getting better and living a great life! The rescue, however, refused to take him because they said they could use their resources to help dogs who were already healthy.

Luckily, I found another GREAT rescue who agreed to take him. They are going to treat his heartworm. I have agreed to help them raise funds for his treatment and vetting. This boy is SO sweet and will make such a great pet for the right family. PLEASE help if you can! Even if it's just $1!!!!

Thank you all so much for caring, he's a great dog!

I just found out her name is Jasmine. This poor old lab who has lived chained to her doghouse on Presqueisle Street in Philipsburg, Pa for her entire life. Because she's an 'outside dog.' The term 'outside dog' doesn't exist. It's a regular dog just like every other dog who an uncaring human forced to live isolated, alone, cold, thirsty, and hungry outside.

I'm told humane officers have been there numerous and repeated times over the years...but usually she is within the law. And the law doesn't protect chained dogs.

Even when it's 2 degrees fahrenheit outside? No, it doesn't.

I can't even sleep for thinking about her. What will it take to save her before it's too late? Angry mob? Picketing the woman's house? A caring soul who is forced to commit a CRIME in order to bring her even a few days of happiness before deaths comes for her? What will it take?

You tell me. Legislators, you go on and on about the current laws being enough. Really? So this poor old dog being chained outside in 2 degree weather doesn't bother you at all?

Then you don't have a soul.

Please help this dog before it's too late. I'm voting for the angry mob, and of course I would gladly lead such mob. Let me know if you are IN by e-mailing dogs@dogsdeservebetter.org.

Chaining your dog for life IS cruelty. It is Abuse. And it should be a CRIME.

What will it take, Pennsylvania?

Champion (A1180585) for adoption

Dragged By His Neck Into The Shelter…
Yet Forgiving Of Human Cruelty And Indecency watch this video of a dog whose spirit remains unbroken

Champion (A1180585, 1 year old, and 54 lbs of endearment) wants to leave his battles behind him. A miserable owner who allegedly beat him, Champion is quick to drop to the ground if frightened, was not enough to extinguish this dog's love of people. From the first time I saw him in the kennel, right after being brought in, he came right up to the front, wagging his tail, with such happiness and joy. Only later did I find out that he was one of two dogs that our super-wonderful ACT Starr had told me about that morning. When she saw the owner dragging Champion by the neck across the floor, she told him in no uncertain terms that he needed to pick the dog up. So what did the owner do? Picked up Champion's skin at his backside and lifted him that way! But, Champion won't be defeated.

Please give him the victory that he deserves, adopt/rescue him. Champion is kenneled with another large dog and has done fine. You can meet him at the South L.A. shelter 3612 11th Ave., LA 90018, or call (213) 485-0117 or 0119. And we would truly appreciate your letting us know that he is no longer fighting a losing battle, but now taking on a new name and life.

This poor dog has been banished to a cold balcony with temperatures dropping into the single digits. A fellow rescuer spoke to the owner's who agreed to bring the dog inside but within a day the dog was back on the balcony DURING A SNOW STORM with nothing provided to stay warm. This poor fellow is 10 years old and only about 10lbs. His little body cannot handle this cold.

Due to the out-pouring of concern for this dog the owner's have placed rugs around the balcony to prevent anyone from seeing the dog. But he is still there.

Dogs Deserve Better has warm place for this doggie to go, we just need AC to do their jobs and get him out of there ASAP!

We are fighting for this soul…to heal her and to offer her a new life, a well deserved life where she’ll forget what she’s been through. We need you…our friends…our animals’ friends….we need support for x-rays/treatment/operation and all it will be necessary. We thank you!
