The Heat is on !!!

Dogs cannot sweat!

Their only heat outlets are their paws, their tongue and their ears.

If you love them... leave them at home.

Leaving your pet in a hot car is considered cruelty!

The short stop you plan to make at the store could be 15 minutes or more before you know it. Your mistake could cost your dog his life. Leaving the window cracked won't cool your car enough to protect your dog.

The inside of your car will heat up to 110 degrees in 10 minutes on an 80 degree day - even with the windows slightly open. Your pet will suffer needlessly and could die when left in your car even on a moderately warm day.

Colby, a beautiful Golden Retriever, is Heartworm positive.
Colby has to undergo expensive treatment before he can go to a new home.

Hope is a sweet little Rat Terrier girl. Our veterinarian thinks she may have been born with one eye not fully developed. It needs to be surgically removed.
Please help her with the surgery cost with a donation through Paypal.

$ 3500 is needed

for Honey's surgery at Columbia Veterinary School. Honey's left hip has healed and now her right hip needs to be replaced

Please don't let her down !

The cost of other Dog's and cat's life threatening surgeries postponed Honey's need. She has been a wonderful girl and never complains.

My life so far .

Prevention of Animal Abuse And Cruelty

Is A Family Value

Never place an animal abuser in a position of authority. They will abuse
the privilege every time. They will eventually graduate from abusing
animals to abusing humans as their species of choice.

What is Time?

One of the most important things we can give our Pets
is "Time". The time to love them, care for them, and
train them. Animal Shelters and Rescues across
the country are filled with Pets whose families didn't
have "Time". Every year, the "Time is up" for 12 million
companion Pets.

Do you have the "Time" to make a difference?

A Shelter Dog asks God...

Author: Joan C. Fremo
Published on: July 29, 2001

Dear God,
What is "Time"?
I hear the sadness in the voices of workers here.
They say my "Time is up", that they have to make
room for yet another dog.

My "Time" is up. I don't know what that means, God. I
only know that my new friends are so sad, and the more I
wag my tail---the harder I try to make them feel better--
-the sadder they become.

I know I have heard that word "Time" before, but I don't
understand. When I was younger, my people would
say "Time to play!" They would throw the ball, and I
would run fast. Sometimes I brought it back to them, but
other times we'd end up chasing each other having fun.

I remember "Time to eat". My people would put down a
bowl of food, and I would enjoy dinner, wagging my tail
in joy. There was also "Time for your walk". My boy
would put my leash on, and we would go walking together,
visiting the neighborhood and enjoying each other's company.

When I was younger I thought "Time" meant fun.
Or maybe Love?

I don't understand. "Time" must mean something else, but
how can it change, God? Before I came here, I heard my
people say, "No time to feed you now, boy. Later, when I
get home." Sometimes my family would forget, and there
was no food in my bowl.

Does "Time" mean when my belly hurts?

My people said there was no time for walks. I tried to
hold it all day long-- but God, I just couldn't anymore.
When I finally had to go, it made my family very angry.

Does "Time" means anger? Or maybe Loneliness?

My family said they didn't have "Time". They didn't have
time to play, or time to take me to the vet, or time to
go for walks. They didn't have "Time",
so they brought me here.

Maybe I was right... They said they didn't have time,
and if "Time" means Love, how did they lose it?

Did I do something wrong?

God, I think my new friends are sending me to you. Do
you have "Time"? May I sit on the couch?

Am I a good Dog, God?

Is it "Time"?
