It Wasn’t Suppose To Be Like This For These Dogs

A dog trainer named Ronnie Williams was suppose to be taking care of the racing dogs when the Washington County Sheriff’s found some twenty Greyhounds at the Ebro Greyhound Park down in Florida dead.

It’s bad enough that this poor dogs are put though hell just to have them raced and when they’re not good enough the owners sometimes kill them. Thanks to all the greyhound rescue groups that try and make the dogs live better.

I only hope that the charges of animal cruelty against this dog abuser doesn’t go over easy for him.

Two Animal Abusers Arrested For Dead And Sick Dogs In South Carolina

After a raid by the Dorchester County Animal Control two animal abusers named Hampton Reeves and Brian Edward Altman have been charged with multiple charges of animal neglect.

The animal control officials found ten dead dogs out of the thirty one dogs that was on the property. Some of the dogs had heart-worm and other problems along with the neglect of nourishment.

I don’t understand how people can do this to dogs and not even feel guilty about it. With all the charges against them, I hope the judge sees the server neglect these two did to the dogs and really hits them with the book.

DOD Restarts Funding Military Spouses For Animal Behavior College

Animal Behavior College Welcomes Return of Funding for Military Spouse Education

Animal Behavior College (ABC) is ready to enroll military spouses in any of its three exciting animal-related career courses thanks to the re-launch of the Department of Defense's (DOD) Military Spouse Career Advancement Program (MyCAA). Funding for the highly successful program had been suspended for revamping by the DOD earlier this year, but not before ABC enrolled almost 1,000 military spouses in its programs.

ABC President Steve Appelbaum says, "When I think of the sacrifice and dedication of our armed forces, and I consider all they do to keep us safe, it is an honor for ABC to help military spouses by affording them the opportunity to learn the types of viable, portable careers they can utilize to assist their families. ABC's unique distance learning technique makes for a perfect fit with the highly unpredictable and mobile lives that our military families lead. What's more, in a salute to our new MyCAA students, we are not only offering our existing military discount; ABC is taking care of the cost of books and training attire as well."

The MyCAA program was launched in August of 2009. Since the program began, 970 military spouses have chosen to pursue animal-related career training through ABC. Spouses are eligible for any of ABC's three courses: Certified Dog Trainer, Veterinary Assistant or Groomer. Donald High was one of those students. After finishing his tour of duty in the U.S. Army Infantry, High wanted a new career - a career that was "portable" and would go anywhere his wife's career as an active member of the Army would take her. Donald, who graduated from ABC's Certified Vet Assistant program in September, says, "I am grateful to have found a school like ABC. I have not only been able to fulfill my goal of working with animals; I have a new and exciting profession that I can take with me wherever we go." High was immediately hired by the Banfield Pet Hospital in Lakewood, WA. Thanks to ABC and the MyCAA program, Donald plans on continuing his education and becoming a Veterinary Technician.

Through the MyCAA program, military spouses are eligible to receive $4,000 in education benefits to pursue associate's degrees, certificates and licenses. After graduation from any of ABC's three courses, many students are immediately put to work by the businesses they complete their "hands-on" training through. For more information on ABC and the MyCAA program, please visit http://www.animalbehaviorcollege.com/tuition.asp.

Animal Behavior College (ABC) is a vocational school that specializes in animal-related career training. ABC currently offers three programs - a Certified Dog Obedience Instructor training program, a Certified Veterinary Assistant program and a Certified Grooming Instruction program. ABC has training locations in all 50 states as well as in Canada and is the premier school for animal lovers who wish to pursue animal-related careers.

White Sox Pitcher Mark Buehrle Helps Support Adopt-a-Pet.com

White Sox Pitcher Mark Buehrle Launching Pet-Adoption Billboard and PSA Campaign Today

White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle has a message for the city of Chicago: adopt a shelter pet. Buehrle and his wife Jamie have partnered with Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America's largest non-profit pet adoption web service, for a public service campaign launching today in the greater Chicagoland area.

Starting today, Chicagoland residents will see light-hearted adoption-promoting billboards and televised public service announcements featuring Mark and Jamie Buehrle playing with their three dogs on the grass at U.S. Cellular Field. Funding for the billboards was generously provided by Nestle Purina.

"Pets in Chicago's shelters are getting a boost today, thanks to Mark and Jamie Buehrle," says Adopt-a-Pet.com executive director Abbie Moore. "By speaking out about their passion for pet adoption, and educating people that they can go to Adopt-a-Pet.com and see photos and information about pets in shelters, they're truly making a difference in the lives of people and homeless pets."

Says Mark Buehrle, "Our dogs add so much to our lives, and our family wouldn't be complete without them. The shelters are filled with great pets, both mixed-breed and purebred. We recently adopted a purebred Viszla. You can pretty much find any kind of pet you want in a shelter."

Adds Jamie Buehrle, "We're really excited to launch this campaign with Adopt-a-Pet.com, and we hope that everyone, no matter what team they root for, will become a fan of getting pets out of shelters and into loving homes."

The Buehrles are extremely active in companion-animal welfare issues. Together they founded Sox for Strays, a monthly pre-game adoption event that brings pets from local shelters and rescue organizations to U.S. Cellular Field. They are also funding a brand-new adoption and care center for Hope Animal Rescues, an Illinois-based rescue group.

Some Sick Dog Killers And Abusers Out There

 

A Whack’ O from Virginia named Leshawn Harper set his brother Demestrius Harper dog on fire, has sick is that.
I hope that the dog lovers in jail take care of this lowlife.



Up in Somerton, Pennsylvania another sick’o has cut Sherri Verdons dog in half and left it on her porch. What is this world coming too with all the animal abuse going on?

Sherri Verdon said: It’s very gruesome. It’s very scary. It’s a sign to me. If somebody’s disturbed enough to do that to a dog, what are they going to do to me?

I think that this women should get some protection in case this person comes back.

A company called K9 International LLC from Royal Palm Beach, Fl had one of their dogs seized when an employee found three dead puppies in a dumpster to see if the puppies were from their dog.

Apparently this company has had some twenty one dogs seized before this. Something is a little fishy to me about this company and you would think that the clients would be aware of all the seizures.
