What makes my day is getting an email like the one below updating me on the beautiful girl I found at the shelter last year. Hope was anything but, however, I named her that in the “hope” that someone would see in her what I saw in her. She was an amazing lady and an amazing lady named Diane contacted …
He Smiled Till He Died – RIP Smiley
I hold to my statement that I made from day one, that the solution to the animal shelter problem starts with responsible pet ownership. Responsible pet owners, do NOT turn their pets into shelters. Every time I see a newscast showing a crying person dropping their pet at a shelter, its like nails on a chalkboard to me. Its bullsh1t. …
The Peanut Polo Cup
Be There or Be SQUARE.. This August 30, 2009 there is only one place to be and that is the PEANUT POLO CUP… It is held at the Augusta Polo Club, only 1.5 hours west of Montreal. I don’t think there is a cooler event anywhere, including here in Los Angeles. It is founded by one of my all time …
Jasmine- A NEW LIFE
Sometimes people ask me why I do what I do, and I ponder. Then I get an email like this one and its pretty clear. The story of Jasmine is a sad one. You can check out her youtube video and you’ll learn more, but what really hits home is when you hear the story from the person who adopts. …

Its very clear that if you criticize the shelters and slam them day in and day out it only hurts the animals that are being killed at alarming rates. …
Billy the Elephant at the LA Zoo
This post is not about dogs or shelter animals, but instead about a very sad day for a lone Asian elephant at the LA Zoo. I will state here that I oppose zoos for all the reasons that anyone in their right mind opposes them. They are prisons to house wild animals for human amusement. The reason they are called …
Dangerous Dogs – Who’s to Blame
A situation I am constantly asked to help with is that of “dangerous dogs.” These are dogs that have bitten someone and presumably pose a threat to the public. Animal control officers are quick to point the finger at the animal and try to move to killing it as quickly as possible. What seems to be overlooked here is the …
ALASKA gets a Forever Home
This one will make you cry… A few months ago I got a call to help rescue a little Eskimo that was stuck at the shelter. Mitzi would champion the boy and get him to foster at SBACC. She did way more, she also stayed in touch and relayed one of my favorite adoption stories ever. Here goes: The nice …
