There are few things that get under my skin as much as when someone we expect to tell us the truth, lies to us. The media is guilty of this over and over…. and here is a great example. I was forwarded this mail by a very good friend of mine, so the story is valid. Spread the word, as …

I’m not talking here about a criminal who deserves it, this is the story of a group of dogs that got the bum rap of hooking up with an idiot human… a person we call a hoarder. This “person” had over 200 dogs living in bad conditions… obviously gone mad and “collecting” dogs. Through no fault of their own, our …

We were scheduled to save Gordita, the sharpei at the Camarillo shelter. So after a long morning I drove out there to find the shelter closed. I rang the bell and Edward came out and offered to help.

So I just read the latest plan by Gov Schwarzenegger is to impose a tax on vet care in California. This tax is to be used to make up for the budget shortfalls. So my question is why do the animals have to suffer. I see countless animals dumped in the shelter because people can’t afford the vet care as …

Please read the following story from the LA times. As a person who understands dogs, I can honestly tell you that if a dog “grabs” your hand and has not severed a finger, it is being “mouthy.” Misha, the dog I recently rescued did this.
