Jersey Dog Dumper Caught

The dog dumper has finally been caught and his name is George Atalay from Caldwell,NJ. The Passaic County’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has charged the bum for dumping his dog who just had babies.

Now the guy is saying he left the dog with a friend while he went to get some dog food. Ya... right... say anything to try and get out of this one... If the guy wasn't lying he would have went and got his dogs from the shelter... I hope the judge hits him hard on the twenty charges that he is facing...

Photo by Dan Pelle


The Humane Society and a few local animal shelters will be needing your help in finding homes for these American Eskimo dogs that were taken from a puppy mill raid at the Sun Valley Kennel in Kennewick, Wash..

After reading a few articles from this area it’s seems like Washington was trying to become the new puppy mill state.
So if you are looking to rescue one of these cute little dogs you can try the Lynnwood animal shelter and possibly the Stanwood's NOAH and the Everett Animal Shelter.

Here is an update on the puppy mill raid that happened back in January outside of Gold Bar, Washington.
The Snohomish County Judge has allowed a video that was taken by a Snohomish County deputy that showed some horrifying pictures of dogs that were frozen in the freezer and the conditions that these poor Chihuahuas, Pugs and Terriers had to live in.

After looking at this video it just makes me sick to think about how many other dogs over the years were treated like by Jason & Serenna Larsen who ran this puppy mill.

Ellen DeGeneres Fulfills Kids Request To Help Feed The Dogs

A group of fifth graders from Dover, NH middle school got together to help support their local animal shelter Cocheco Valley Humane Society help feed the dogs were amazed by the offer they received.

The fifth graders wrote a letter to Ellen DeGeneres in support for their local shelter and they received a reply from Ellen’s who is a co owner of a dog food company called Halo’s CEO Steve Marton offering two thousand dollars worth of dog food.

These little kids from the Dover middle school are earning all kinds of money to help the shelter feed the dogs during these hard times. It’s so nice to read about the love and teamwork that is being put to work with these kids. I’ll bet that the dogs are Grateful for all they have done too.

Thanks Ellen & Steve for helping these kids fulfill their quest.

That’s what the Passaic County Police in NJ would like to know. Somebody just dumped off their poor dog that just gave birth to nine little baby’s in park area called Garret Mountain Reservation.

How sick is that for someone to just discard their dog like that, why didn’t they at least bring the dog to a shelter if they were unable to care for the dogs. The article states that this place seems to be a dumping ground for dogs.
What’s wrong with dog owners, all you have to do is bring your dog to a shelter. I hope the catch this person and make they pay for this cruel act for abandoning the dogs.

K- 9 Officer Leaves His Dog In The Car Which Resulted In Death

You would think that a K-9 police officer would have enough sense and training to know not to leave his partner in the car, let alone for a little over three hours. Well the poor dog had died as a result of this officer’s stupidity.

As a result of this officer from Alameda, Ca the district attorney now has to decide if they will file charges against this officer. I would think that the officer was in neglect of his duties for leaving his partner locked up in the car for so long.
The real question is why was the dog taken to the training exercise knowing that he would have to leave him in the car and the other question is then why wasn’t the dog taken inside the training area?

Mississippi Dog Ring Bust

A Dog fighting ring has been busted in Bassfield, Miss. with about eight people being arrested and more to come.
There was a report saying that five dogs were found with injuries when they raided the house and were taken to the Jackson Animal Rescue League. With so many cars from different states this must have been one organized group of thugs who gets off on watching poor animals ripe each other apart.
