Dogs At Kennel Found Dead

A business at 1516 Coitsville-Hubbard Road promotes itself as a center for dog training, grooming and boarding it also offers “doggie day care,” underground fencing, dog importing and stud service sadly all of it isn’t true.

Kyle Ziegler and Joe Borosky, Animal Charity humane agents, went to the business Wednesday afternoon after a woman called and complained that she couldn’t get her dog back from the man operating the place.AS they couldn’t get inside they got permission to look from the next-door neighbor’s backyard sadly they found seven dead and eight skinny, neglected dogs.

This cannot be minimized. This man deserves more than a slap on the wrist. He deserves some serious jail time for the dogs he allowed to suffer and die, and the heartbreak he has caused.  He should never, ever be allowed to have so much as a goldfish in his care.

Drug Sniffing Dogs

Drug sniffing dogs

The key ingredient for a drug sniffing dog is a ball-crazy dog. You know the type; a dog that is totally nuts about chasing, catching, and otherwise frolicking with a tennisball. They find these dogs through a very scientific process whereby they get a bunch of puppies together and throw tennis balls around until it becomes apparent that one puppy is especially interested in ball-activities.

That puppy is rewarded with his very own ball, one scented with  cocaine or  semtex, or whatever. They get these scents from a police-supply outfit. The puppy grows up with the scented ball. Whenever the dog is playing, it is with the scented ball. If the dog seems pretty adept with scents, it might get another ball with a different scent, but two seems to be the limit. Besides just playing “catch,” and other doggie-sports, the dog eventually learns the
game “find your ball!”

Parents Hire Drug-Sniffing Dogs to check up on their kids since it is easier this way to avoid the confrontation that come with asking them to kindly urinate in a cup.

“The dogs’ noses are so sensitive that they can smell a marijuana seed from up to 15 feet away and marijuana residue on clothing from drugs smoked two nights before.”

Have You Met Quick?

Quick is a Border Collie. A Border Collie is a breed of herding dog that originated in the border country of England and Scotland. They are widely regarded as the most intelligent dog breed. Border Collies are highly energetic. They are still frequently used on farms all over the world for assisting with the handling of livestock, these dogs can also be protective of a human family member and affectionate to those they know.

Quick is currently being taking care of by BCHS- is a non-for-profit organization,they accept strays from outside city limits and owned animals if room is available. They offer spay/neuter assistance and placement services for animals that need homes. They also use in-depth breed rescue lists for the adoption or placement of pure bred animals.

You can read more about Quick in the rescue me blog.

Letting Go

It is not the first time i hear this sentence when you love someone let him go, still it seems hard especially when you get so attached to a person let alone a loved pet. But it is true, when a dog or a cat finally finds a loving home it is not the time to be sad on the contrary it is a joy full time as it is going to be with a good loving family and make room for more dogs or cats that needs our help and care.

Berine from a place to bark that run a full-time dog rescue writes about her first letting go experience and how sad it was and how she got over it and how she deals with it now days when one of her dogs finds a family.

The day came to let it go and I cried and cried, begging to keep it.  
He held my hand & looked me square in the eye and said, do you love this bird?  
I looked at him with tears welled up in my eyes and quivered yes…  
Then you must love it enough to let it go.  
You must want what is best for it.  You must love and not posses it. 

Another treat in the post, a photo introduction with more great dogs and puppies waiting to be adopt. one of them is Eli i put a picture of him because he reminds me so much of my own dog.

Isn’t he cute?

Watch The Video To Help No Kill Dog Shelter

I had to go all the way to the animalblog in the UK to read the letter of Kim Hodge asking people to watch his video. As he and his friends have entered a competition and the winner is decided by the number of viewing.

Anyway it is relevant here because they decided to donate the prize money if they win to a no kill dog shelter in Phoenix Arizona and helping a no kill shelter is a worthy cause in my book.

So people just watch the video - the competition ends on October 4 so you have plenty of time left.
