Nevada’s New Cooney's Law And Almost 100 Saved Dogs
A hoarder from Burien, Washington has had one hundred dogs remover from two different places by the King County Sheriffs and the animal control officers after they received a tip. The sad part is that ten of the dogs had to be killed, so why did this person have so many dogs and no one ever said anything until the other day.
Now the Regional Animal Services of King County and the Burien's Community Animal Resource and Education Society are looking for help in donations and adoptions of these dogs.

Nevada’s new law called Cooney’s Law will be going in effect tomorrow morning which makes aggravated and intentional animal cruelty a felony crime.
A shelter manager for the SPCA of Northern Nevada named Holly Natwora said: Passing that law is a huge accomplishment, Cooney put a story and a face on the bill and I think that's why it passed. She didn't die in vain. She has a legacy now.
This law all started because an animal abuser named Raymond Rios cut his dogs stomach open with a box cutter.
Anybody who does something this sick should be locked up for a long time.

Rescued Dogs, Amazing Dog and A Shelter In Need
The Rowan County had to get a warrant to save one hundred and eighteen dogs that were living in unacceptable conditions at a woman named Pat Blevins trailer. The Save The Animals of Rown have taken the poor dogs that were so bad they even had mold growing on them.
A volunteer from Save The Animals of Rown named Shannon Malone said: Horrifying, overwhelming - panic is going to set in soon of what are we going to do with all these dogs. At this point, we have a partnership with law enforcement. Our goal is to take care of the dogs. Their goal is to figure out what they have so now at this point the prosecutor needs to step in and he figures out what we got.
This is so sad even after this animal abuser was let off the hook back in two thousand and four for animal cruelty. Hopefully this time she will have to pay for all these poor dogs would live in misery. So now the shelter is going to need all the help they can get to adopt all these dogs.

Amazingly a dog named Rocky from Shelton, Conn. was able to survive a deadly day of terror when a nut case named Kenneth Fox tried to kill his dog while killing his wife and himself. Who would have thought that after fifteen stab wounds this dog has survived with the help of Shelton Animal Hospital.
Dog survives 15 stab wounds: wtnh.com
The Shelton Animal Hospital Doctor named Danna Torre said: About six days ago he was taken in for a thoracotomy, and his chest was explored, and we found that the one chest wound was extremely deep through the body wall, through the ribs, and cut through a lung, and that lung lobe was removed, his chest cavity was sealed up, and he has done incredibly well. After everything he has been through, he has been so easy to work with, he is such a loving dog, he wags his tail all the time, and the public has given donations from all over Connecticut, people calling, trying to help.
I feel for this family on the tragedy they have gone though it is so heartbreaking to read, what had happened on the day.

With a twenty five hundred dollar reward being posted by the Humane Society for the villain who abandoned two dogs in Rocky Mount, NC over the weekend.
Kim Alboum from the Humane Society said: We do see animals like this, but they're in hoarding conditions or puppy mills. But they could have just been with a family that couldn't have taken care of them too. The level of neglect this dog has experienced is absolutely horrific.
So now that Marley and Charlie are in good hands hopefully they will be adopted to a loving home.

A Break In, Abandon, Survival And Amazing Dog News
How could anybody break into an animal shelter and steal their money. Thats what the police and the Cookeville-Putnam Animal Shelter in Tenn. would like to know when someone took about three hundred dollars from their donation box last Friday night.

Another sick person who left their two dogs to die when they moved out. It all happened in New Bedford, Mass when a pit bull was found that jumped out of the third floor trying to get some food to eat.
A tenant who lived in the building named Michael Acevedo said: When the dog fell out the window, we saw how skinny it was. It was horrible. It was horrible to see, it looked like it was starving for months. I don't even know how it's alive.
So now the poor dog has a broken hip from the fall and the owner of this dog is nowhere to be found. I only hope that the police find the animal abuser and makes them pay and hopefully the dog recovers from its injury.

Can the Oakville and Milton Humane Society animal shelter in Canada survive with this ringworm outbreak that has been going on since September Ninth. It looks like hard times are coming on figuring out where to put the two hundred animals that are quarantined after twenty two cats had become infected with the ringworm.
So if you can offer some help in the funding or even know where they could use a warehouse or something to help put the other dogs in to keep the shelter running they would be grateful.

It's That Time Again: Iams Home 4 The Holidays
IAMS HOME 4 THE HOLIDAYS KICKS OFF ITS’ 13TH ANNUAL PET ADOPTION DRIVE
- PROGRAM GOAL TO PLACE 1.5 MILLION PETS INTO LOVING HOMES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON -
Iams Home 4 the Holidays, one of the world’s largest pet adoption programs, kicks off its annual adoption drive today in partnership with Helen Woodward Animal Center, with the goal of finding homes for 1.5 million orphaned pets. Now in its 13th year, the program, which runs from October 1, 2011 through January 3, 2012, has helped 5.8 million pets find loving homes across the globe. This year, Iams and Helen Woodward Animal Center will again team up with more than 3,500 animal organizations worldwide to encourage pet adoption. In addition, Iams will also donate 5 million meals to animals in need at adoption and rescue centers through its Bags 4 Bowls program.
“Each year, as many as 4 million orphaned dogs and cats are euthanized due to shelter overcrowding – that is approximately one pet every eight seconds,” said Mike Arms, founder of the adoption drive and president of Helen Woodward Animal Center. “Since partnering with Iams on the adoption drive 13 years ago, we have really seen the benefit of what this program can do for orphaned animals, and the families who adopt.”
While finding loving homes for orphaned pets is critical and the core of the program, the campaign is also designed to provide shelters and rescue centers with much needed food donations. With the help of consumers, the Iams Bags 4 Bowls program aims to donate 5 million meals to animals housed in participating organizations. Consumers can lend a hand by simply:
· Visiting the Iams Facebook page and clicking to “Like” the page or various messages, photos, videos, etc. For each “Like” comment, photo posted, etc., Iams will donate meals.
· Becoming a fan of the Iams Facebook page (www.facebook.com/iams) and creating a custom adoption announcement or holiday card to share the news of their new four legged family member or just send a season's greeting to their family and friends. For each card created and shared, Iams will donate meals.
· Purchasing specially-marked packages of Iams dog or cat food during the duration of the campaign. For every specially-marked package sold, Iams will donate one bowl of food* to a participating Iams Home 4 The Holidays animal organization.
New to the program this year are campaign ambassadors, NASCAR driver, Ryan Newman, and his wife, Krissie. The Newmans, who founded the Ryan Newman Foundation to educate and encourage people to spay or neuter their pets and to adopt animals from shelters and rescue centers, have joined Iams in their mission to help animals in need this holiday season.
“As proud pet parents to five incredible animals, we are honored to join with Iams Home 4 the Holidays to find permanent homes to loving animals,” said Ryan Newman. Krissie Newman added, “We truly believe that the real reward is when the pet adopts you and we invite everyone to join the millions of families who’ve already experienced the joy of animal adoption through this program.”
Iams Home 4 the Holidays strives to educate about the importance of adoption so that every pet adopted goes to a permanent, loving home. Those who adopt through the program will receive an Iams adoption kit loaded with important information about nutrition, training and proper care to ensure their relationship with the new animal starts off on the right paw.
“Since its inception, Iams Home 4 the Holidays has seen 5.8 million pets find loving, forever homes and that truly is a gift that keeps on giving,” said Maria Beatriz Rodriguez, Iams general manager. “We recognize that not everyone is in the position to welcome a pet into their home. However, we still want to empower consumers to get involved and our Bags 4 Bowls program enables people to do just that.”

You Would Think That It Was An Honor To Have A K9 Dog As Your Partner
Most Police Officers know that they are honored to be the one who’s partner is a K9 dog but this office named Bob Diorio from the Tinley Park Police department in Illinois thinks that he should be paid more for working with his partner.
So now this police office is disgracing that honor to serve with a K9 dog. What has become of the guy who has turned his job into greed and has shown that his partner is nothing but doggy care? Yes that’s what he suing for doggy care.
This is just sad that this specially trained dog Thor has a partner like that.
