URGENT!!!!WEST LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: DAZ (A0734223)

FROM CHELA LANDAU:

Sadly there has been no response at all for Daz, a dog the shelter considered a minus 3 on a scaled of 1-10. Daz was originally adopted from the shelter about 5 or 6 years ago: back then he was a hopeful happy dog. When he came back bloody, covered in fleas and ticks, and emaciated he looked as though he wished he were dead, his eyes haunted and so sad.

And he will get his wish soon if no one responds to rescue him although now, nursed back to health by the shelter, Daz is friendly and hopeful and so happy when he gets attention. He wants to live very much but his time at the shelter is winding down: He has been there more than 3 months.

Daz is very very urgent: If you wish to also pledge for Daz please email: network@jasonheiglfoundation.org

FROM HEIGL FOUNDATION:

Daz is a charming 7 year old black and white staffie boy at the West LA shelter. Originally adopted from an LA city shelter years ago (note the old ID number) Daz was again impounded on 10/2/2010 as an abuse case. The shelter staff said that on a scale of 1-10, he came in a minus 3! See his Before/After photos. The WLA shelter has done a fabulous job nursing him back to health. He’s a healthy, sweet boy who needs a second chance at a GOOD life. Wouldn’t it be nice if he could welcome the New Year in a safe place? Please consider rescuing Daz!

The Heigl Foundation is pledging $200 for “Daz” A0734223 @ the West LA shelter. IMPORTANT: To receive a Heigl donation you must already be an approved Heigl Rescue Partner OR, if you are a 501c3 and have a PayPal account registered in your rescue’s name, you can apply to become a Heigl Rescue Partner in order to qualify for donations.

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: CRITICAL!!! : Readin’ Writin’ ‘Rithmetic Rhoda Choc chip staffie A1171241 South L.A.

READIN’, WRITIN’, ‘RITHMETIC RHODA WAS ON HER WAY TO THE LOCAL PREP SCHOOL ONE DAY

WHEN SOMEONE THERE DECIDED SHE COULDN’T ATTEND CLASSES WITH ALL THE KIDS — AND BROUGHT HER TO THE SHELTER INSTEAD — SHE’S SAD ABOUT THAT

RHODA WANTS AN EDUCATION. HOWEVER, WHILE SHE IS WAITING FOR CLASSES TO START AGAIN, SHE’S LOVING EVERYONE AT SOUTH L.A. — watch that wagging tail — and see her sneaking a kiss with the GS across the way.
YOUTUBE VIDEO OF RHODA
THOUGH HER OWNER TRIED TO MAKE HER LOOK TOUGH, RHODA IS A TOTAL CREAMPUFF

Rhoda (A1171241, 2 years old and a stocky 60 pounds) is as sweet as they come. Those soft brown eyes beg for your attention. She was a happy girl, no cares in the world — until she strayed into the prep school. This girl who wants only to learn and love now she has some serious cares — being at the shelter and picking up a nasty case of URI. Rhoda needs out right away!!! She is on her second antibiotic and has been moved to ISO. Along with her scholarly studies, Rhoda has a great fondness for other dogs — she goes so far as to steal kisses in the hallway. Please help this pupil get her diploma — call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or -0119 to save her. And KINDLY LET US KNOW if you do save her — as many people ask about the fate of these dogs. With thanks, Andrea & Mindy ivegonetothedogs@gmail.com (323) 363-4909

SOUTH LA DOG SPOTLIGHT: PRONOUNCED DEAD SAT. SCHEDULED TO DIE YESTERDAY. WANTS TO LIVE TODAY. 10-year-old super sweet GS A1168948 South L.A.

PRONOUNCED DEAD ON SATURDAY


SCHEDULED TO DIE YESTERDAY. “WHO ME? NO!!!!!!!!”

WANTS TO LIVE AND BE LOVED EVERY DAY




Watch Chewy’s video and see this gentle but camera-shy girl :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0LvlHwQZWk

I was at the shelter the day that Chewy (what a name — A1168948, 10 years old) was walked in by her owners who said she was “a good dog” but that they were moving. I was in the kennels shortly afterward, Chewy standing in her cage alone, puzzled at the bars surrounding her. And I was there the day that a Community Service worker found her, upside down, legs in the air, eyes open — and pronounced her dead. Lucky for Chewy that this was a mistake!!!! Chewy just sleeps on her back with her legs in the air, propped up against the kennel walls — she prefers it that way. As an older dog with an older hematoma to her ear (and now an ear infection as well! — but on antibiotics, no surgery necessary) and no one clamoring to take her home, Chewy was scheduled to be euthanized yesterday. But, Chewy has no intention of dying.

She’s bouncy on her walks, she’s loving with people, and she even enjoys sharing a space with her new kennel mate. She’s a good-natured, huggable hunk of fluff — a sugary sweetheart who shouldn’t have to be pronounced dead in the shelter. She’s thankful that she is making it to Thanksgiving — but will be even more thankful if you will take her home and let her live happily ever after — and sleep upside down.

Please, please have compassion 
for these older dogs.

Call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.
And kindly let us know that she is showing you that beautiful smile.
With thanks,

LORI’S CORNER: ACRES OF LAND DONT ALWAYS MEAN HAPPINESS FOR DOGS

Over the years, I’ve heard this phrase so many times, “I wish that I had lots of acres of land so that I could rescue a bunch of dogs and let them run free!” Sounds nice, but the reality is that sometimes, people who acquire a lot of land have other people dump dogs on their property, what’s one more dog which leads to ten more dogs, which leads to over one hundred dogs on a property that are not being property cared for.

A group of rescues, including Downtown Dog Rescue, are working together to take over 70 dogs off a property in the desert where they are living in makeshift runs without much shelter. The nights are extremely cold and it will be snowing there soon. Our goal is to rescue the dogs that are social with people and other dogs and there are a lot of them who need forever homes.


A couple of weeks ago, we helped raise enough money to bring Angel Dogs Foundation in to do 28 spay/neuter surgeries. The good news was that most of the dogs were already spayed/neutered but not every dog was done. There are still some feral dogs that are free roaming that need to be done before more litters of puppies are born. The day the mobile clinic went out, three new litters had been born that week.

We need a lot of help to help these dogs. We need experienced foster homes, people to transport dogs back to the Los Angeles area, volunteers to go out to the kennel to spend time with the dogs and cleaning kennels. Most of the dogs get very little human interaction since there are just too many dogs on the property. Most of these dogs were someone’s pet at some point in their lives, they are miserable waiting for someone to rescue them.

IN THE KNOW: Networking Disabled Pets on the Web

From: Celine Higgins 
disabledanimal@gmail.com



My name is Celine and I’m a third year student at UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine. I found that there needs to be a better system to connect disabled animals online because I had the hardest time looking for a precious wheelchair dog. Therefore, I am in the process of making www.disabledanimal.com


This is a classification system to where people can list their animals for free and it is completely dedicated to disabilities. If you do, please take the time to list your wonderful disabled animals on the automated site. I was so frustrated at petfinder because you can’t classify all of them as “special needs” and expect people to sort through 1,000 + hits. It’s bare bones right now but I’m going to do my best to make it well-established. You have full control over the listings just like in petfinder.

Please help me to spread the word! Of course, please crosspost with other venues so adoptable animals will find a home.



Thank You.
