On Facebook in 2010: Cathy Conrad: Please stop promoting puppies for Christmas presents. It is not right. Donna Grunewald: And so it begins… Cynthia Harper: And we have the puppy debate once again. Our adopters are great! What does it matter that it is Christmas!! Who cares. The puppy found a wonderful home. The DogLiberator: [...]
Update 12/14/10: If you weren’t on Facebook today, here’s what you missed! Click here to read the comments, and plan on staying a while! An anonymous comment was left this morning on Stallone’s blog post, and I usually publish everything, unless it’s spam. Freedom of Speech, it’s a wonderful thing, but this aint’ our first [...]
This little three-year old boy has quite a personally! His foster writes: Paco is a litter pad trained and does not really go out. He has been with us, our dogs and cat. So if you were to ask me if he was truly good with any of those I am not sure how I [...]
I did this video July, 2009 for Pet Rescue by Judy.
Puppies are a lot of work, but they’re a lot of fun too. It is so wonderful to see the puppies play with each other and us. It is what makes them so ready for their forever home! In this video are KitKat the Border Collie, Cricket the Kelpie, Kipper the Rat Terrier, Pippin and [...]
I keep saying that you don’t have to have a big company, a building, land, or 501c3 status to rescue. Do you think I got where I am overnight? One woman, one dog, one adoption, then the next, and the next, and with a lot of hard work, a year later, we have volunteers, transporters, [...]
I posted this last night on Facebook, and by the way, if you’re not on Facebook, you are missing out on a lot. After receiving and posting Asia and Sparrow yesterday, I was consumed with a video idea. The Comments were made immediately, you can read them here.
I have wasted an entire afternoon trying to find a low cost spay/neuter clinic in the Miami and West Palm Beach area. What a nightmare. 2-6 month wait for an appointment, and my favorite was a place that claimed it was low cost, but made it mandatory that you bring your pet in for a [...]
I joke all the time that I want to start my own reality show and here’s an example of why! About two months ago, I was in the process of pulling two dogs from the panhandle. One was from Terry Watts (Gemini) and the other was from a woman will I call “Sally” in this [...]
A great article, even though it was written over ten years ago, very little has changed with regard to the criteria that shelters and pounds euthanize, Death by the Pound. More about Black Dog Syndrome.
Here’s the scoop on Facebook! Update on the Huntsville dog that we have named Kudos!
A couple of days ago, I received an inquiry about one of my puppies. I responded with my standard, “we do not use an adoption application but rely upon on interview process. Please tell us about yourself.” The following e-mail, and subsequent adoption, reminds me of why we approach rescue with a different philosophy than [...]
Sometimes I never hear back from an adopting family but usually, thank goodness, they send me updates. I post them on our Facebook page since so many people enjoy reading how the dogs are doing. It makes them smile. Yesterday Boo, my last Teddy Bear Puppy , was adopted. I just received this e-mail from [...]
Told you I would post it next time! Here’s the link on Facebook, decide for yourself what you think.
You may remember Lexie. She was one of “Dee’s White Fluffy Puppies” that we rescued and placed in June. She generated a lot of interest, and many people came to meet her, but they adopted a different puppy. She just didn’t “connect” with anyone. And then Joanna walked into my home and it was a [...]
Sherry Lee forwarded this article to me yesterday, and I just had to post it here to share. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37359894/ns/health-pet_health/ Here, here! With the extremely high numbers of abandoned/dumped companion animals (not to mention the overpopulation due to non spaying and neutering), some parts of our society are finally doing something more about it. (It’s amazing [...]
Photo shown of a young female we are pulling from a shelter in Mobile, AL. Facebook Post: I had not paid much attention to how many dogs that are homeless and in shelters.. until I started looking for another puppy to replace one that we lost to age and many health issues. It makes me [...]
Many that have adopted from me have been turned down by other rescues. Many simply never got a response to an email sent. Many could not find a phone number to contact, or their calls went unanswered. I hear what others say regarding their experience with other rescues, I do not comment, but I listen. [...]
Since my break, so many thoughts have been running through my head, that I want to share. But I know better. I learned a while back not to mix good and evil together. If you want to learn about the dark side of rescue, you can go to my website, which I started probably about [...]

The Plight of Animal Rescuers – What People Don’t Know Rescuers receive owner-surrendered dogs, and dogs from shelters and pounds whose time is up. Dogs on Death Row that wait for the eleventh hour are pulled from shelters and pounds by private rescuers every day. Yet dog-owners continue to resist relinquishing their dog to a [...]
Know the Difference Between Reputable Breeders, Inexperienced Breeders, and Puppy Mills in Person and Online Before I walk you through the difference between shelters, pounds, rescuers, and breeders, there’s one very important thing I must share. We all know that the average person hates—actually loathes visiting a pound or shelter. Let’s face it, most shelters [...]
Free to a Good Home, Before You Surrender Your Dog Professional dog fighters are lurking websites like Freecycle and Craig’s list every day just waiting to comb through “Free to a Good Home” ads. After all, you don’t think they are going to pay good money for a dog that they are going to use [...]

Carol Bowman-Henderson contacted me one year ago, on April 20, 2008, after she had seen one of my anti-gassing videos on YouTube. “Can you help me?” She asked. She quickly began to send me her spectacular photographs, some of which were so horrendous, with regard to animal cruelty, that I have never used them. After [...]
