Watch this video from TIME Magazine about veteran David Sharpe who found love and companion in a rescued pit bull. Sharpe now helps other veterans dealing with PTSD to be paired with dogs so that they too can be helped in the way he was.                                              via: doobybrain

A DOG REALLY IN NEED… All us rescue groups need donations to keep us going, but one of my volunteers brought to my attention, a dog named GI JOE — Orlando area. A former BAIT DOG. 322 Stitches. The thing that warms my heart is that he is going forward… he is sweet, loves to play with his toys and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. His temperament does not reflect his past —- This dog has been through literal hell and needs another chance. If you can donate ANYTHING towards his care — (Every $5 helps…) you can send it directly to his Vet — Banfield Animal Hospital - 1115 Vidina Pl, Ste 195, Oviedo, FL 32765 - (407) 359-7831 For GI JOE. OR— you can send it to Grateful Paws (we have a secure Paypal link at the bottom of our websiteand. Be sure to earmark it for GI Joe - and we will send a check with the names and contact info of the donors. My Volunteer/contact is Mike Soucy - email: arygorn@gmail.com We’ve rescued some tough cases in the past, but NOTHING like this one… 322 stitches. Makes my heart sad to know he has been through this but makes my heart SING to know that he is on the mend and is looking for a new forever home

Senate Cracks Down on Animal Fighting Attendance

fightanimalcruelty:

It is illegal in 49 states to be a knowing spectator at an animal fight, and a majority—29 states—consider it a felony. This federal legislation complements the state laws on the books, and gives the tools needed to both federal and state law enforcement agencies to crack down on the entire cast of characters involved in animal fighting, including the multistate animal fighting networks that are often out of reach for a local sheriff or prosecutor.

Helping Connecticut Canines

I just adore CAPTAIN JAKE (#335) ! A Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier Mix, approximately 2 years old, a little underweight at 40 lbs (should be about 50-55lbs). This dog has an INCREDIBLE personality. His love for life and people is just heartwarming. He is AWESOME with all the dogs he has met. He is good on leash but can definitely use some work on it. VERY affectionate. He is just starving
 for attention and love. He went to the vet to be checked and his eye was surgically removed a long time ago. He is emaciated and needs to eat 3 smalls meals a day. He was also de-wormed and had his very long nails cut which he did great with! LEGAL DAY OF ADOPTION IS 12-7 which means he will need a home that very day … a BIRTHDAY of sorts! IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING PLEASE EMAIL CTSHELTERDOGS@GMAIL.COM for an application. City of Hartford Animal Shelter (Connecticut).
