ASPCA Adopt a Thon in Joplin a Huge Success

Adopt-a-Thon Helps Heal Joplin
Story Link

As you may know, the recent Adopt-a-Thon at the Joplin Humane Society was an enormous success. Thousands of people from 24 states visited our emergency shelter, and a whopping 739 animals were adopted!

The adopters included Miranda Scott and her family, who adopted a once-feral kitten, and Peggy Howe, who, along with her daughter, drove four hours from Topeka, Kansas, to rescue a puppy—though she was weak from undergoing cancer treatment.

This wonderful event never could have happened without your support. That’s why in this issue of News Alert, we’d like to thank you for what you’ve helped us accomplish—and share photos and stories from the adopt-a-thon that will have you breaking out the tissues.

It’s Fourth of July weekend; what better way to kick it off than with some heartwarming stories and photos of Americans pulling together for the animals—and people—of the Heartland?

Ruff Life Wine Tasting..National Mill Dog Rescue in Colorado Springs

Mill Rescue Wine Tasting
Link

Set your Calendars for Ruff Life Wine Tasting in Colorado Springs. When? August 5, 2011 from 6-9pm. Norris Penrose Event Center 1045 Lower Gold Camp Rd..come out for a great cause

They have been in existence since February of 2007 when Theresa rescued our founder, Lily, from Reedgate Kennels in Missouri. When Theresa got to the auction, Lily was sitting up in the back of her cage in the dark barn that she lived in. Lily was sitting on her back legs and rubbing her stomach with her front paws and looking Theresa square in the eyes and asking her for help.

Theresa knew that she couldn't leave the auction without Lily and said, "We may have come 800 miles for one dog." That wasn't the case as Lily was worn out, with a rotted jaw and mammary tumors along her entire left side. She brought 40 dollars. I wouldn't sell her for a million dollars. She's brought joy and love to my life from the day she got here.

On that day National Mill Dog Rescue began. We have pledged to put an end to the cruelty and evil of the commercial breeding industry. (Industry! Indeed.) Also more commonly known as puppy mills. We do this by educating the public about puppy mills and letting them know that buying dogs in a pet store is wrong. There are many reputable breeders and shelters from which to get dogs

Lost Dog Get's Back To Her Home..Don't Think She Was Too Thrilled

**So I found this lovely dog this morning posted ads everywhere and was going to even put signs out for her. No collar, no chip no anything so wasn't ready to take to the shelter just yet.

**The owner Archie Garcia called and said it was his, great come pick it up. The next thing I know she didn't want to go with him, he was rude about having any information for the dog in case it got out next time and any advice I had (I operate a Stray dog rescue site and recover 3-5 dogs a year so I know a little) he proceeded to tell me off, tell me to buzz off and he didn't care!!

**Responsible dog owner...I don't think so! If you are a dog breeder Archie, which I assume you probably are, I would not have others buy dogs from you after risking the life of your dog and most importantly the puppies left behind for 24 hours while you were being so careless!!

Glad I could help save your dog thanks for being ungrateful

L.A. Pet Super Adoption, a Rookie’s Perspective-Best Friends Org

L.A. Pet Super Adoption, a Rookie’s Perspective
May 25, 2011, Story Link
By David Dickson, Best Friends staff writer

'Super' is an understatement when it comes to 284 (and counting) animals finding new homes during two-day event

Having worked as a writer at Best Friends for several years now, I’ve heard an awful lot about the L.A. Pet Super Adoption events. Yet, I’ve never actually attended. Well, this past May 21 and 22, I finally made it down, and let me tell you something: Hearing about it from afar is nothing whatsoever like being there in person.

Before heading to L.A., I had a pretty solid handle on one particular detail: This event is big. Perhaps a little perspective on the area will help. Los Angeles County is the most populated county in the United States, has been for decades. In fact, on its own, Los Angeles County has more people than 42 of the 50 states.

When you have those kind of numbers to pull from, it’s a no-brainer why there are so many castaway animals in need of homes! Sure enough, close to 1,300 animals showed up from 18 shelters and approximately 50 rescue groups, each ready to find his or her own happy ever after. I had all this in my head conceptually before heading down. So yes, I was prepared for big. Instead, I should have been prepared for massive! There’s something entirely different about seeing it with your own eyes.

Who are YOU walking for?
MaxFund’s Lucky Mutt Strut June 26th, 2011

What is the Lucky Mutt Strut?
MaxFund’s Lucky Mutt Strut is our way to “Make Trax for Max!”
You’ve heard of the Furry Scurry, right? It’s the largest dog-walk in the nation. The Lucky Mutt Strut is a smaller version, but with the same idea and outcome: Raise money for homeless animals.

In this, our 15th year of the Lucky Mutt Strut, we are proud to remember our very first strut which, at that point was Rover’s Romp – not the Lucky Mutt Strut. It was a small gathering of about 50 close friends and supporters of MaxFund, Racine’s provided some wonderful brownies and we went for coffee and bagels to warm-up afterward, compliments of King Soopers. The Romp took place in Wash Park, just like today’s Lucky Mutt Strut, but we’ve grown quite a bit from our humble beginnings!

What happened on the day of Rover’s Romp was a great beginning to what happens this June 26th, 2011 when we celebrate our 15th year of strutting: we get out there and make Trax for Max!
· 2 mile walk for animal owners and lovers alike
· Celebrates MaxFund – Denver’s No-Kill Shelter
· Raises money for the kids of MaxFund
· A fun afternoon of picnicking and meeting friends, old and new
· Meeting local vendors who provide samples and information of their products and services


Why MaxFund?

In 1988 our namesake, Max, was hit by a car and suffered two broken legs. He was left by the side of the road to fend for himself. A young woman found him and brought him to the local vet where Max stayed for 10 days…no one claimed him as their own. Dr. Bill Suro, who owned a vet hospital at the time where he & his wife Nanci both worked, decided to take in Max, injured and suffering.

Max required five surgeries, and eight weeks of hospitalization. There was a lot of pain as well as weeks of physical therapy and rehab. Through all of it thought, Max never lost his amazing attitude.
A fishbowl was placed on the counter of the vet hospital with “The Max Fund” taped to it and a yard sale was held to raise money for his treatment as well. Max was a favorite of the staff and clients alike. After two months, Max was able to be discharged and was adopted by Dr. John Joseph, one of the vets who had taken great care of him during his hospitalization.
The happy ending to Max’s story was the happy beginning of the MaxFund. The money that was left over from the fish bowl and yard sale was used as the initial start-up money for the MaxFund – an organization dedicated to injured animals with no known owners (like Max).
Thanks to MaxFund, over 25,000 animals have been helped and given a true “second leash on life”!

Denver's Furry Scurry is Close! Pet Fundraiser Day at Washington Park

The Furry Scurry is this Saturday! On May 7, Washington Park will be filled with Furry Scurry fun. Register now so you don’t miss this exciting event. Stop by our sponsors' booths for fun giveaways and shop the Flealess Market for unique items for you and your pets. Not only will we have Colorado Disc Dogs and the Ruff Flyball Club in our demo ring but now there’s even more entertainment to enjoy. Live music by The Give will be in the meadow west of the Flealess Market. Bring your dog and come bark along after you’ve finished the walk.

Of course, everything that’s being planned to make the Furry Scurry the best celebration of pets and people anywhere has one main goal—to help the hundreds of cats, dogs and small critters that are at our shelters right now, waiting for happy homes. Among them are 52 dogs that we took in a few weeks ago, victims of an animal hoarder who had neglected them for years. They are getting all the love they’ve missed, plus the medical care they need to turn their lives around. Read their story here and be even more inspired to take part in the Furry Scurry, our premier fundraising event of the year.

You can register online or at our Quebec Street shelter until 5 p.m. on Friday. Registration opens at the park on event day at 7 a.m. Event Link

Ohio Canine Hoarding Victims Arrive at ASPCA Partner Shelters

From ASPCA

After we helped bring the canines to a temporary shelter and provide critical care, an ASPCA team completed individual behavior evaluations. The dogs were then ready for placement, and nearly 200 found spots in Ohio. The ASPCA began placing the others through our network of partner shelters in the North and Southeast.

Denver Area Summer Dog Walking & Pet Care-Washington Park, Englewood, Littleton & Lakewood

Summer Pet Fun

Yes it's Here, Summer has officially arrived and the heat is on! The cool spring weather is gone and we can see cars sizzle, the atmosphere ripple with heat waves, and colors baked right out of signs and posters.

Temperatures are skirting with triple digits, keep a wary eye on your pets, who are just as susceptible to heat stroke and sunburn as you are.

The normal body temperature for dogs and cats is much higher than our own, between 101 and 103 degrees. Usually, their fur coats have their own cooling systems, but in this weather, sometimes that is just not good enough, said Carla Thompson, veterinarian at Paisano Animal Clinic.

Animals are more prone to heat stroke, dehydration, sunburn and dangerous negligence.

Heat stoke is the biggest problem, "and that can be fatal," Thompson said.

If your pet is overheating and is possibly in mortal danger, the animal would be panting heavily, unresponsive and hot to the touch.

The condition causes the tongue and other mucus membranes to become red and it causes the dog to be unsteady, vomit and have bloody diarrhea. Body temperature goes up to over 106 degrees and the episode can end in a coma or death. "Cats are no less at risk," Thompson said.
