TRULY, LAST CALL FOR "BIA THE BAIT DOG"-
THIS BABY IS IN FOSTER BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE ADOPTED.

From Leave No Paws Behind, Inc.
"Growing up I was taught to always be respectful of others. I was taught to treat others with kindness, to be kind, caring and to strive to always be the best I could be. I was taught reading, writing, spelling, and math so I would be prepared to succeed in the world and I learned that “right never had to be defended”. As I grew older however, I realized that the most important lessons I had yet to learn were not ones to be taught but felt from the heart. Through loving them I have learned 3 of the greatest lessons of all, trust is earned, forgiveness is a given and love, truly felt from the heart, is always unconditional. The greatest gift I received through the blessing of them loving me was learning to love myself. They are my dogs and I love them." tw, LNPB

"They want nothing more than a gentle touch, a kind word and to know they are safe from harm. They want nothing more than to feel they belong and that their days and nights are free of hunger, thirst and loneliness. They want nothing more than to feel the security they have come to know in being close by my side. They want nothing more than to feel loved and I am so blessed that they want nothing more than to share their life with me. They are my dogs and I love them" tw, LNPB

Ramon's Emergency Surgery
We've all seen the pictures on television of sad-faced puppies and crying kittens and heard the heartbreaking music accompanying the pleas to donate to help them. We've all felt the tears welling up in our own eyes wishing we could do more to help them all. Thankfully for those large organizations, those pleas work and they are able to help so many deserving dogs and cats in need. Unfortunately for us, we're NOT a large organization, and for us, raising the funds we need is a good deal more difficult. The dogs and cats don't know the difference though. They only know that when they come to us with something wrong, we do everything we can to make it better. We feel like we're always begging for funds and it's not something we're proud of, but when we see the faces of these sweet innocents who find themselves in need, our pride goes right out the window. We will gladly get down on our knees and grovel for pennies because every one DOES make a difference! A dollar won't even buy a gallon of milk of gas these days, but when a lot of you give even just one or two to these babies, it adds up quickly. Giving up one candy bar or one specialty coffee for the week could be the difference in the funds needed to help one of the most needy. Please, please consider even a small amount. It can go farther than you ever imagined in their eyes and ours!

PETITION: Stop the Killing
Every day, healthy cats are put to death in shelters across the country. Seven out of every 10 cats that are brought into animal pounds and shelters in the U.S. are killed there. In fact, that’s the number one documented cause of death for cats in this country.

PRECIOUS LOLA IS SAFE!!!!!! : )

My name is Lola. I am a very affectionate 10 month old female brown/white pit bull mix. I came to the shelter as a stray on October 2.
I share these photos to help get these dogs seen and perhaps find homes. I do not work for the shelter nor do I rescue, pull or do chipins. If you are interested in this dog, please contact the shelter directly to find out its availability. NOTE: Pit breeds are only getting 4-5 days before they’re killed so those are always urgent!!

The animals are counting on you
If you are in a situation where you must re-home your animal, or you have a litter of puppies or kittens that you need to find homes for, please do not advertise those precious lives as "free to good home". Consider doing home inspections, so you can see for yourself where your animal will be living.
The very lives of these animals depend on how vigilant someone is about where they will end up. These animals are helpless to change what is happening to them. They have only love and devotion in their hearts, and they rely on humans to keep them safe.
Please keep all of this in mind if you are ever faced with having to re-home your pets. Remember the faces of the victims like Puppy Doe, and know that it could be your beloved furry companion animal who ends up in the hands of sick and demented monsters, who have no love in their hearts for animals at all.

Begining in July of this year, ACS was notified no less than 6 times that dogs were starving.
Begining in July of this year, ACS was notified no less than 6 times that dogs were starving.
The first time ACS was notified, they sent a "nuisance letter" to the address. The second time, ACS did not respond. The third time, they left a letter but never followed up. The neighbor became so upset with ACS' lack of action that she reached out to a local rescuer. The rescuer made contact with ACS on 2 occassions and provided the cruelty investigator as well as Kathy Davis, ACS Director, with graphic photos of the starving dogs wasting away to skeltons. Two of the dogs died. One dog remained. ACS still took no action to save the dog and she died on Friday. This is her death photo.
Do not be angry at the neighbor as this is a crime ridden area and she was fearful of retaliation. She did the right thing by contacting ACS who had legal authority to immediately seize these dogs. ACS failed these dogs.
Those of us in rescue in San Antonio see this far too often. ACS drags it's feet. ACS does not want to seize these abused and neglected dogs because it means they have to house and care for the "evidence" while waiting on the court hearing. And if the animals have to be euthanized, then ACS artifical live release rate is adversely affected.
Kathy Davis needs to be fired now! This is just a long line of horror stories that occured on her watch.
Watch the story tonight at 10 p.m. on KENS 5. Then email your city council person and demand that Kathy Davis is immediately terminated.
The animals in our town deserves better!

PLEASE SAVE SUCCESS!
This baby has been rescued but I think she may still need help paying her medical bills.
This dog has Parvo, she has less than 1 hour to live before she will be euthanized The shelter does not hold dogs with parvo overnight. Parvo is a deadly virus that can be treated if caught early
She is only 6 months old. If we were able to save her, we would need help with donations for her medical care- we have several medical cases right now and we are really walking a thin line- Can you help us to save her? Her name is Success-
If you can help by making a donation to her care- please pledge on here- donations can be made via our website at www.nycsecondchancerescue.

When you clipped the leash to my collar, I trusted that we were heading somewhere fun.
When you walked me into the strange building, a tingling of fear ran through my body, but I trusted that we were going somewhere safe.
When you handed my leash to the waiting hands of a stranger, I trusted that they were a friend.
When you walked out the door and left me behind, I trusted that you would return.
As I sat in my kennel run, with each footfall that approached my door, I trusted that it would be you, returning to take me home.
When day turned to night, and then to day again, I trusted that you would come.
When a stranger finally came to lead me from my kennel run, my heart swelled with the hope that I would be led to your waiting arms.
As I sat in the stark room with the sad stranger, anxiety flooded my body, but I trusted that you would enter the room.
As my nose was muzzled and I was restrained, my eyes darted from side to side as I frantically searched for your face, certain in my trust that you would save me from the terrible thing that was about to happen.
You did not come.

WOOL IS CRUEL: The Wool Industry
Most of us think of wool as a cruelty-free product. When it comes to wool, we conjure up images of idyllic surroundings and happy sheep who naturally shed their coats or need haircuts to keep cool during the hot summer months, and live out this peaceful life until they take their last breath.
Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth.
Wool is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Like most animal agriculture enterprises, the welfare of animals is barely part of the picture. Sheep are commodities, pure and simple, and their only value is how much money they bring to the enterprise.
The majority of the world’s wool comes from Australia. In fact, Australia is now home to more than a hundred million sheep. Nearly all are Merino sheep, who are loved by the industry because they produce heavy fleece that makes a fine wool. Merino sheep are not found in the wild and are not native to Australia, so they do not do well in the heat of Australia. They have been specifically bred to have as much skin as possible — wrinkled skin. Wrinkled skin means more wool. Wrinkled skin also means flystrike.
What is flystrike?
Flystrike is caused by moisture getting into the wrinkles in the sheep’s skin. When this occurs, a foul odor is emitted, which attracts flies. Flies lay eggs and maggots are born. The maggots literally eat away the sheep’s skin.
The least expensive method to deal with flystrike (remember that sheep are commodities to the industry) is to cut off large chunks of skin around the tail so moisture does not collect in the folds. This practice is known as mulesing. Farmers throw lambs onto their backs and restrain their legs between metal bars. They use gardening shears to carve out flesh from their rumps. This is done without anesthesia or painkillers – spending money on anesthesia would cut into their profits. The skin is scarred and becomes smooth, which prevents flies from nesting and hatching eggs.
Other procedures performed without anesthesia include punching a hole in the ear of the lambs several weeks after birth, docking their tails and castrating the males. The castration of male lambs happens between two and eight weeks old, with the use of a rubber ring to cut off their blood supply.
Then comes the shearing process. Sheep are shorn in spring, just before they naturally shed their winter coats. Shearing too late would mean a loss of wool. Most sheep are sheared while it is still too cold. An estimated one million sheep die each year of exposure after premature shearing. Shearers are paid by volume, not hourly, so they must work quickly. Some sheer up to 350 sheep a day. The welfare of the sheep does not play a role in their shearing. Nicks, cuts and infections are not treated. Again, this would cut into profits.
So, what happens to the sheep once the ranchers have decided that the wool output is not as profitable as it was? They sell them off to slaughter, most at around age three to four (their natural lifespan is 15 to 20 years). They are typically shipped to the Middle East and North Africa. They are crammed onto filthy, disease-ridden ships, up to 100,000 of them at a time, and the voyage can take three weeks to a month. Two million sheep die during these voyages per year. The ships have open decks, exposing the animals to the elements. During the journey, they are taken off their natural feed and fed pellets. Most do not eat the pellets because they don’t understand that it’s food — up to 47 percent die from starvation en route.
On top of the terrible ship experience, animal welfare laws are non-existent in these parts of the world. The sheep are dragged off the ships to unregulated slaughterhouses. The sheep are not stunned before slaughter and are conscious when their throats are slit. In fact, some animals are still alive while their legs are being sawed off and their skin removed. Unfortunately, I have seen the videos:

Wool is a cruel and bloody industry that doesn’t at all resemble the image of happy sheep on green pastures. Deciding to boycott Australian wool is not enough. China, a country with a terrible reputation for animal cruelty, is second in wool production. While there may be sheep farmers who adhere to more humane practices, the inseparability of the wool and meat industries means even comparatively well treated sheep are destined for pain, suffering and a terribly sad end. Like dogs, cats, dolphins, horses, and all other animals, sheep are sentient beings who deserve to have a life free from suffering.

Today, when there are so many natural and synthetic fabrics that are cruelty-free, there’s no reason to choose fabrics taken off the back of an animal.
