Euthanized Puppy Comes Back To Life After Being Discarded In A Dumpster

March 4th, 2011 by C.J.

Oklahoma animal shelter officials are deluged with adoption requests for a puppy that was EUTHANIZED and disposed of in a Dumpster but then CAME BACK TO LIFE!

Officials say Wall-E and five other sick puppies were left outside an Oklahoma animal shelter last week.

Due to crowding and the dogs’ conditions, the vet euthanized the dogs and disposed of them in a Dumpster, but the next day an animal control officer found Wall-E walking around and looking for something to eat.

People from all over the country have contacted the shelter in hopes of giving the 3-month-old pup a new home.

Get Your Dog A Dogbrella!

March 2nd, 2011 by C.J.

It’s almost impossible to get your dog to walk under the umbrella with you, but now that’s not an issue because your dog can have his or her own umbrella!

It’s real and I’ll bet that it works.

The Swift family was celebrating the holidays with friends, when one accidentally ran over their dog Polo in the driveway. Everyone was upset. After a trip to the vet the options were limited, costly surgery that may or may not work, or something new… a prosthetic paw.

Prosthetic paws are relatively inexpensive, running about $900. Saving the family lots of money and saving their dog Polo painful surgeries that might not even help.

Merry Christmas!

December 24th, 2010 by C.J.

Hello everyone, I am the blogger here for the Animal Advocates Alliance and I just wanted to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, Happy Kwanza, and mostly happy Doggy Day, which is every day in my house.

I have a foster dog in my apartment. I have no business taking on a foster. I’m broke, I’m going to Japan, he’s too big, he hates my cats, I have to divide my house into two sections. He’s pissing on my Christmas tree, but it IS a tree (a real one), so I can’t blamer him. We’re all wet. We walk 4 – 6 times a day while we’re potty training the foster… which means we’re constantly getting rained on and then spending the rest of the day trying to dry, but we never really get dry before we have to walk again. I’m going to Japan for 2 weeks right after Christmas. I’m really stressed out that my animals will be taken care of properly while I’m gone, I always stress about it… nobody can do it as well as I can (in my opinion) so travel is always really stressful. I worry about accidents, and someone breaking free from their leash, fights with dogs on the streets, cars, poison, cats and dogs getting along. There’s a lot of worry involved in a family of this size (2 dogs, 1 foster dog, 2 cats in one apartment in Valley Village) This is my world… and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Does any of this sound familiar? What does Doggy Day mean to you? What’s your average Doggy Day like?

This is my foster dog, Grady. He needs a home… if you know anybody let me know. He’s making my Doggy Days bright.

Help Find Bane! Missing Michigan Police Dog!

November 29th, 2010 by C.J.

Photobucket

A Michigan State Police dog named Bane, went missing earlier this month while he and his handler were looking for a missing 70-year-old dementia patient.

Since Bane’s disappearance, his handler has spent countless hours searching for his companion and has created a Facebook page devoted to finding the dog.

“In August … the K-9 units were out looking [but] they were not able to locate him [and] the search was suspended,” Trooper Rich Tucker told AOL News. “On the weekend of Nov. 13, Trooper Bullis was again called into that area. … Ultimately that subject was located [deceased]. During the course of the search, trooper Bullis became separated from his K-9 unit.”

Bane and his handler were searching a dense, swampy area when Bane got caught in some brush.

“I dropped the lead to untangle him [and] about the time I got him free a deer that had been bedded … jumped up and ran directly in front of Bane,” Bullis wrote on his Facebook page. “Bane gave chase. He was out of sight in about a second and I have not seen him since.”

Authorities searched for more than a week but no sign of Bane. They had to call it off because it’s hunting season.

“We did not want a bunch of people tromping around in the woods with a bunch of hunters, because there is an increased chance of an accidental shooting,” Tucker said.

Although the official search is over, Tucker said several volunteers are still looking for Bane.

Hero Dog Put To Sleep By Mistake

November 18th, 2010 by C.J.

Target, was an American War hero. She defied an Afghan suicide bomber, gunshot wounds and an attempted hit-and-run.

US soldiers rescued her after she alerted them to an attack in February, by barking at a suicide bomber. From that day on Target was treated like royalty by US soldiers in Dand Patan, near the Pakistan border. The bombing could have killed as many as 50 troops without Target’s intervention.

She was shipped back to the United States where she lived with her soldier/master until she escaped last week. After being taken to a local shelter she “mistaken for another dog” and was put to sleep almost immediately. Her owner never had a chance to come and pick her up. When her owner showed up at the shelter Monday morning to see if Target was there, he was informed that his dog had been put to sleep.

The story is heart breaking. She survived bombs in Iraq, but couldn’t survive our animal shelter system here in the states. Kiss your babies tonight.

When Should We Forgive Michael Vick?

November 18th, 2010 by C.J.

You know everyone is talking about the amazing game that Michael Vick has Monday night. The best game of his life. He not only broke, but shattered NFL records and CNN hit the streets asking people if they thought it was time to forgive Michael Vick.

Most people said something to the effect of, “I don’t condone what he did but he paid his debt to society and should be forgiven.”

I personally don’t care about his debt to society. I have never seen one ounce of remorse come out of that man and until I see some kind of understanding and regret about the pain that he caused I personally can’t and won’t forgive him… I’ll go so far as to say that I don’t think anybody should forgive him.

You can’t forgive someone who isn’t sorry. I’m not going to lose sleep over Michael Vick. I’m not going spend my days wishing evil to fall upon him. I’m not going to watch his games when he’s on TV and I’m not going to forgive him. He doesn’t deserve it.

If you want to know when we can all forgive Michael Vick… ask this dog who not only suffered, but is still suffering because of the torture inflicted by Michael Vick.

I don’t care about Michael Vicks amazing football game Monday night because I don’t think that a monster like that should be playing football.
