Over and over again these so called home breeders are doing more damage to are buddies then they are worth. This time a home breeder in North Platte, NE was raided by the Lincoln County Sheriffs along with the help of the local animal shelter when they took eighty dogs from the home.
So again the local shelters are stuck with these poor dogs and they will have to foot the bill to check all these dogs health before any of them can be adopted. When will the greed stop and allow the dogs that are homeless to be adopted to a loving home. We read all the time how many of these dogs are killed because they weren’t adopted which is sad because there are so many dogs out there.

Free Website Offers Daily Training Lessons to Help Dog Owners Train their Dog in Just 10 Minutes a Day
Beginning on January 1st and running for the entire month of January, new dog “parents” and veteran dog owners alike can visit http://newyearnewdog.yourbestdogever.com for daily lessons on how to teach their dogs 13 vital obedience and behavior skills that are the foundation for raising a well-behaved dog.
The expert behind the site is Krista Cantrell, a cognitive animal behaviorist, dog trainer, dog-book author, award-winning agility competitor, and dog whisperer for national television, radio, and print media.

“Puppies are cute. Even misbehaving, mouthing, biting, barking, jumping and ‘accident prone’ puppies are cute...at least for a while,” says Cantrell. “But what happens when the ‘cute factor’ gives way to the reality that that cute puppy is going to grow up into a dog that needs more than just love to become a well-mannered member of your family?”
When reality sets in, as it soon will for the tens of thousands of new “Christmas Puppy” owners out there, where can these overwhelmed new “parents” turn for help?
That’s where Cantrell’s new site comes in.
The “New Year, New Dog” dog training website will offer more than 30 free dog training lessons that solve common dog obedience problems and teach basic training methods such as house training mishaps, excessive barking, pulling on the leash, inappropriate chewing, how to teach sit and stay the right way, how to teach your dog to come when called (the first time and EVERY time), crate training, clicker training, and more.

Hartz Shelter Donation Program Reaches Their Goal
Pet Lovers Took Only 10 Days to Connect Struggling U.S. Shelters with Hartz $1,000,000 Donation
The overwhelming response of concerned consumers to Hartz call-to-action is an eloquent sign that pet lovers from all across America are eager to help local shelters. According to Hartz, it's time to seize the moment, time for pet lovers and companies involved with animals to turn concern into actions, and do more to make a difference.
Just over ten days ago, Hartz reached out to pet lovers around the country to nominate local animal shelters who could benefit from a free shipment of 2,000 everyday pet supplies donated by Hartz. The response was overwhelming. No sooner had the announcement gone out that Hartz was looking for shelters in need, than consumer nominations came pouring in and, by the time Hartz ships supplies to all the shelters that were nominated in the first 10 days, Hartz will have shipped out the final $1,000,000-plus worth of pet supplies to reach the $3,000,000 goal.
In July, Hartz Shelter Donation Program was launched, pledging to ship up to $3,000,000 of Hartz pet supplies to animal shelters and food banks in the U.S. and Canada, to help them survive the tough economy. By end November, $1,623,138 worth had been shipped. That’s when Hartz decided to involve consumers, and empower them to help shelters in their communities by connecting them with the Shelter Donations Program.
Hartz Shelter Heroes to be featured on Hartz website.
As inspiration to other pet lovers in the community to make a difference, Hartz will feature their Shelter Heroes and the shelters they helped.
In these days of overcrowded and financially challenged shelters, volunteers can make a difference.
“For pet lovers who want to do something more to help shelters during this economy, there are many wonderful animal advocacy organizations, such as the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States, that can guide you on how to volunteer," says Dr. Melinda Fernyhough, Hartz veterinarian. "Shelters depend on volunteers. Whether it's by walking dogs, providing affection and important socialization by playing with caged cats and dogs, working in the office or helping on fundraiser events or websites, or even cleaning out cages, volunteers can make a major contribution to the lives of these abandoned animals while they wait to be adopted."

Maricopa County Sheriff’s Arrest Dog Abusers
Photo’s by abc15
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s arrested a total of four people for animal cruelty today in Mesa, AZ. Two that were arrested on four counts of animal cruelty and neglect were Debi and Terrance Carrol. Also arrested were on animal cruelty charges were Jeannetta Berry from Gila Bend and Jorge Gonzales from Mesa.
Just looking at these photo’s is enough to make you sick. Hopefully the Alta Vista Animal Hospital staff will be able to nurture these dogs back to their healthy life and they will find a loving home.

Florida Dog Breeder Defies Court Order Not To Own Dogs
You would think that after being told not to own any dogs stemming from charges of neglect earlier this year, you wouldn’t own any more dogs. Well another one of those so called home breeders named Patricia Dickson from Tampa, FL just didn’t care what the Judge had to say.
This time the Hillsborough County Animal Services working on a tip had found nineteen poodles and a chow chow in Patricia’s house after being told never to own anymore animals. The sad part was when the animal service workers found the dogs in bad shape.
I hate to read about these home base breeders that don’t have a care for these poor dogs and are in it just for the money. If people would stop buying these dogs from newspaper ads or from Craigslist maybe we could put a stop to some of these cruel so called breeders. I know that this woman is up in age but it’s no excuse for what she did to these dogs. Maybe this time the Judge will really make her understand what she did.

Has Ontario’s California’s Dog Laws Gone Too Far Where They Have Become Heartless
Photo by the Daily Bulletin
A women named Martha Cuellar had lost her two little Chihuahua‘s when they escaped from the backyard last month. After Martha tried to look for her dogs before it got too dark she was unable to find Luna and Osito so the next day she found out that the Inland Valley Humane Society in Pomona, CA had her dogs.
You would have thought that they would have just gave her the little Chihuahua’s with a warning to watch her dogs but NO, they wanted three hundred and fifty dollars for their return. I call that ransom for the dog, you would think that all these shelters have so many dogs these days they would have been a little grateful to have the dog’s owner come and take them home.
The article goes on to say that Martha was out of work and was unable to pay the fine and when she went back a week later the fine now was fife hundred and thirty three dollars. To top it off one of her dogs was adopted and finally the operations manager James Edward felt touched and gave her back the one dog at a reduced rate.
Well Mr. James Edward I have no thanks to say to you after all you put this lady through because your so called Humane Society was not only greedy, but you guys are the most heartless shelter I have read about….. Nothing but greed, when all you had to do was give the women back her two dogs. Like you never had a dog escape before?
