Take a good look at this dog. It could have been your dog. It could have been anyones dog, but it wasn’t… She was just another statistic in an “Animal Care” system that isn’t working… NOT AT ALL. The little girl was 2 years old when she was killed. Not by thugs, a car accident, not from sickness or negligence, …
Just Kill the Ones that Aren’t Adoptable
Here is the email I received… The photos above are self explanatory…“Apparently the owner said Chaquira was fine with people and other dogs. Upon impoundment June 6th it was noted she tried to bite. She has been in isolation at the ANNEX at South Los Angeles where nobody sees her unless they specifically ask to be taken to the ANNEX. Now it is said …
Why Do We Call Them “Shelters?”
When children are taken out of abusive homes they are put in “foster care.” When criminals are taken out of society they are put in prisons. No matter how crowded these systems get or how sick the humans get within these systems, they are never killed. Which leads me to question the integrity with which we treat animals. Of course …
When Those Who Are Supposed Save – Cause Death
This is a topic that could span many posts, as most of the dogs and cats that die today, do so at the hands of those we entrust to save and protect them. For the most part I would point the finger at the failing “shelter system.” However, since entering into the rescue community I’ve also found that many others …
the Sanctuary Irony – I’m Mad as Hell
I’d like to start out and “re-emphasise” that I started BOUND ANGELS as a media awareness organization, not a hands on rescue. I have been flung into rescuing a few dogs here and there. I receive much praise, and some criticism. Today I received an email response to my last blog entry that asked me to “temper my anger” because …
5 Dogs Saved from DEATH- Thank you!
To say I’m emotional at this moment would be a grand understatement. Since last Sunday May 18th, I’ve been working this case…and pretty much nothing else. This is the case of 5 dogs scheduled to be KILLED at the LA County Shelter. They belonged to a “challenged” man, who truly became a victim of the system. One of his dogs …
Update on the 5 dogs at Carson Pound
I’ve had no less than 500 emails about this rescue. My hands are tired from typing, so I figured if I write the synopsis here, everyone may read it and I can keep busy rescuing and training dogs. Think that might happen?? lets see. OK, to start off with, the rescue is progressing quite well. In spite of me not …
Update on Dogs Scheduled to be Killed – from Robert Cabral
First off, thank to those of you who already opened your hearts and wallets to donate to saving these dogs. Here’s the update: The team at Bound Angles have been in negotiations with Torrance City Attorney to give us a couple more days extension on the dogs we are trying to rescue. This morning I visited the Carson shelter and …
Dogs Due to Die in Carson CA.. you can help
from the desk of Robert Cabral – BOUND ANGELS I am sending this plea out to help 4 dogs that are just hours away from being killed at the Carson Shelter in Los Angeles. Its a long complicated story, so I’ll save the immense details and give you the basics. These four dogs belong to a person who has been …
A Worthwhile Drive
I receive hundreds of emails and/or phone calls each and every week about dogs that need rescue, dogs that are about to die, people giving up their dogs… so, you can imagine how happy I am when I receive a call from someone who wants to actually rescue a dog. That was the case last week. Someone was interested in …
