What you did was right. Glad you got to someone. Glad the police were understanding.
As I agree with these 2 wonderful people I have always been proactive in opening my big mouth while in the store letting people know that if they buy one of these overpriced pups many more will die in shelters.I have actually been removed from a pet…
I agree with Lisbeth.
Here is a few ideas call the ASPCA or the humane society. Unfortunatly you live in a place where ppuppies can be sold from shops so the best thing to do is mentioned above. It is so heartbreaking to know that those are the ones you can only help in…
Whenever I am in the area, I pass through my local pet store. I can pretty much say without a doubt that the puppies are from some puppy mill. The cards with the "breeders" state that they are from many different states. It gives the name os the cit…
I don't think anyone should be harassed for something like this! However, since Biden is under the public eye, he should set a good example and adopt from a local shelter. Still, it is his choice and when people make a big deal out of something like…
she looks so content. very cute.
Thanks for the advice
Darrell is quite correct on that. Older dogs do have to go more than younger ones. Also take him out after each of his meals, too. If it doesn't cease the problem, go to the vet, it could be a serious problem.
Older dogs need to urinate more than young ones. You should take Spike out first thing in the morning, last thing before going to bed, a couple of times for walks and perhaps again at midday. If this stops his inside problem, then you are probably o…
My family and I love our dog, Spike. He is now almost eight years old. Throughout his life, we never had much of a problem with him. Recently, he has been urinating all over the house! We have tried almost everything. We can't find a solution. Altho…
sure call the aspca sector in your area. there should be a place to call to have them investigated. that is not the only petstore having problems. they should be watched more carefully!

I don't see why not but I wouldn't know the appropriate party to send it to? I will have to research it... I do know there are a team of lawyers working to strengthen the laws, as well as, significant media attention surrounding this incident. I will keep you posted!
PS We'd love to see pix of your babies... and Welcome to the ASPCA community :)

- Hi, I signed the petition "maximum penalty for the men who hacked up a puppy." I'm asking you to sign this petition to help us reach our goal of 100,000 signatures. I care deeply about this cause, and I hope you will support our efforts. Here are the basics of the case:
Hardened police officers have been shocked by the horrifying torture, mutilation and brutal slaying of a seven month old fox terrier puppy near Mackay at the weekend.
If found guilty, they could face up to two years in prison. Police have obtained video footage from a mobile phone which shows graphic images of the puppy yelping and howling in terrible pain as it hacked to pieces with garden shears and a pocked knife.
They said the owners were too distressed to talk to anyone about it.
The pups nose was cut off, its front right leg and rear left leg were cut off and it was decapitated. A three-part video series on a mobile phone shows the dog being tortured.
The maximum penalty under the Animal Care and Protection Act for such an offence is $75,000 or two years in jail; however the maximum penalty ever handed out has been a four month jail term.
WE BELIEVE THESE MEN SHOULD RECIEVE THE MAXIMUN PENALTY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA FOR THIS SADISTIC, DISGUSTING ACT.
To sign the petition, please copy and paste the following link:

A place to talk about whatever, animals or people, and have fun. Silliness is encouraged.
I just do not see why the ASPCA Bitches as " I have heard them called" Just don't just post on their own site and keep their the DRAMA there. We are going into a new year maybe things will change and people will grow up.
I think we need to start a…
