check out the Dog Song, a small antidote to the grim mistreatment stories. One day there will be an end to all mistreatment of animals. Keep loving.

Please help Sissy:

Female pit bull, age: 3-4 years, 50-60 lbs.

She has had 1-2 litters already, but will be spayed and microchipped this week. Her eyes are a brilliant blue. She is extremely well mannered, and accepted leadership from a friendly assessor immediately. She is super on a leash, no issues. When she was being assessed, she was obsessed with a frog by her kennel. She is a true delight, gorgeous, very sweet.
She is very respondent to correction and leadership. She was obviously someone's companion pet and is housebroken. She will not go on concrete, but wants to go outside to pee/poo.
She is alert and curious, but shows NO SIGNS of aggression.
Guys were playing a rope tug with her in the office, getting her worked up, she was play growling but not aggressive.
We have NO clues about how she is with other animals, but they will assess her this weekend if one comes in. In the meantime, we will try and set her up around one.

She is currently staying in the Johnston pound in Iowa, which only has two kennels for holding dogs because they are normally contracted with the Animal Rescue League in Iowa to take dogs that come to them. The ARL usually does not adopt out pit bulls, so the Johnston people contacted another Iowa rescue instead, hoping they could help find a home for her so they would not have to turn her over to a place that would euthanize her almost immediately.

If you can help us find a home for her, please let us know. My number is 828-683-4316 (I am in North Carolina, but the dog and the people desperately trying to rescue her are in Iowa). Call or email (jhavana@aol.com) if you can help.

Malachi was picked up by the "humane" society and put down the same day. he never touched anyone, or anything. How do I get in touch with my state representative to report this?

Dear Lauren,
This is what I would do, if I were you.... I would tell your friends sister.. that you do have a witness. ( The vet, that helped the dog, when you brought the dog to him) I would also tell her that you talked to the SPCA and they agreed, it was a case of Abandoment and NEGLECT. Because it clearly is. And if sahe wants to take you to court.. So, be it. It seems to me that she is clearly irresponsible. To leave a house a vacant, and to have her sister clean it up. What was wrong with her , cleaning up her own mess????
I really believe, if any judge , heard your story, they wouls side with you!
This chick needs to grow up, and take responsibility.

A few weeks ago, I went to help my friend paint and clean up a house her sister had vacated (house owned by my friend) that was to be rented out again in near future. Utilities in house had been off for awhile and there were no signs of anyone living there. As I was helping out, my friend informed me that there was a dog in the garage. I went into the hot (100 degrees) garage and saw the worst sight I had never seen. It was a severely matted, feces-infested shih tzu. He had mats in his fur the size of baseballs, sores, bruises, he also appeared to be dehydrated. He had been living in far worse conditions than a pig in a pen. I asked my friend if I could take him and get him cleaned up and she agreed and said she'd let her sister (who clearly had not lived in the house for awhile) know. I took dog to a vet who shaved him down and got him looking normal again. The next day I called the GA SPCA who told me it was a case of abondement and the dog was now my legal property. Meanwhile, With that in mind, I turned him over to a local rescue group. Now, the original owners who left him there are calling and harassing me and saying that they are going to take me to court for dog theft. I don't know what to do. I don't have pictures, but I do have witness statements and he's labeled as a "rescue" on the vet paperwork. What should I do?

Good job creating this group. Just thought I'd let everyone know that my family runs a very small rescue in Connecticut. So far, we've only taken dogs from shelters that are going to be euthanized. If you know of any high-kill shelters in Connecticut, feel free to send me a message. We usually only foster a max of 2 animals at a time. So far we haven't found any cats that are going to be euthanized, but we could probably foster a few if we did.

Thanks and everyone keep up the good work!!!,
Drew
