Meet Jazmine! This beautiful American Staffordshire Terrier / Labrador Retriever mix is currently living in foster care with K9 Angels in Jonesboro, GA. Here’s what their website has to say about this darling:
OK, so this is more cute than funny, but I thought you might enjoy it.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
I stumbled into the website for Pet Tag Creations the other day, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they are not in business only to make money. Although they state on their site that they are interested in earning a living, they are also concerned with the plight of dogs in shelters. So, they partner with many shelters and provide a portion of their profits to the shelter designated by anyone who buys tags through them.
The tags are hand-crafted right here in the good old USA (Baltimore, MD) and are just beautiful. Most cost about $17.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

In honor of the 10th anniversary of the tragedy at Ground Zero, a new book has been published showcasing photographs of the search and rescue dogs from 9/11 that are still alive. Of the 100 original dogs, only twelve are left. Thought you might enjoy seeing some of the photos.

From HSPCAnimals.org:
It is with extreme sadness that we announce that the shelter will be closing on September 30, 2011. We have been instructed that all animals are to be placed by the 30th or be euthanized.
Any animal at the shelter that is already spayed/neutered will be adopted out with a “choose your own adoption fee” special. Those not spayed/neutered will be adopted out with an adoption fee to cover the costs. ALL adopted animals will be s/n before going home. PLEASE help us place these animals!
Between now and the end of September, the shelter will be open Tuesday and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. for adoptions.
Financial donations are still desperately needed to cover costs through the end of the month, in addition to covering debts.
When I checked at PetFinder this morning, there were 5 dogs and 23 cats left in need of a home. Please help if you can! Contact info: 765.653.5739 or [email protected]
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
