After my recent blog post, I received the following email. I’d like to address it here. My comments are in italics: Thank you. Most of the kinds of people who would adopt the animals in the pounds — the kind who would give them good homes — say they “can’t” go into the pound. I feel it is because they …
1 day – 4 people – 5 lives saved
What started out as a location scouting trip for a TV show pilot turned into something totally different. So there is talk of a TV show about my work, so today we needed to scout the location, which was at the San Bernadino Shelter. For those who know me, you know I don’t like to leave Malibu, let alone drive …
Slamming the system won’t help.
As much as we are all frustrated with the current shelter system, it’s all we’ve got – and more importantly “it’s all the animals have.” Yesterday I found a post on facebook criticizing the LA City Shelters for the amount of animals that are being killed. Please note, I don’t use the word euthanize, as I believe these animals are …
another day – another opportunity
I’ve come to realize that each and every day gives us an opportunity to either do something, or the opportunity to do nothing. Today someone stepped up and did something. I’d like to focus on a group named PeiPeople, a local Shar Pei rescue group here in southern Ca. It’s run by two super women, Sue and Jody -both good …

Update on Blind Stevie Wonder – cocker spaniel
Stevie was in the shelter for over 2 months when I found him sitting there all alone in a dark cell. A sign over his kennel read “Keep Alone – Blind Dog.” It broke my heart and I knew I had to save him. I made a video which you can view by clicking here: STEVIE’S VIDEO He was rescued …
New Article for Shelter Workers
I can’t tell you how often I’m called to deal with a dog at a shelter that exhibits what’s called Barrier Aggression. This is a behavior when the dog is barking, growling or aggresses toward the front of the kennel when people are present. It is generally not that hard to fix, but it is a death sentence in many …

Selling Used Dogs
So…. big announcement. I’ve recently completed a book entitled “Selling Used Dogs.” This is a book about saving dogs that are doomed at shelters. I thought of many ways of marketing this book, selling it, promoting it, etc. but thought that this information is too valuable not to GIVE AWAY. So that is exactly what I plan to do. Selling …
When a Government Not Only Condones Murder – but Protects the Murderers
This is exactly what happened in Delavan, Wisconsin today June 30, 2010. There were some 200 geese living on the lake committing the greatest crime they could – sh1tting… These geese were considered a nuisance by some members of the community, but not by all. In fact some people stood up to fight for them. I am proud to know …
