shorty

Thanks everyone!Courtnek if she wants to give up the yellow one I will get in touch with you :D There is some good news to share.My aunt was talking to her Vet about all the animals that get abandoned in the area.He said he was going to to sponser a local meeting in their county about dumping unwanted pets! That's the first positive step my aunt has seen for dealing with this problem!Needless to say she is very excited! :D

Woo Hoo Congratulations! :laola:

Oh no! :o

Aww poor baby :( Sending good thoughts and prayers her way.

Aww everyones babies are so cute! I adopted Shorty when he was 3 so I don't have any baby pics either :cry: I sure wish I did though I bet he was adorable :D

My aunt lives in the back woods of Tennessee.She said many people there don't have electricity or indoor plumbing and are very poor.Most people there have dogs but do not spay/neuter them or give them any health care.She has rehomed quite a few adult dogs that have wandered onto her property.She took in and old coon hound that a neighbor just quit feeding so he would starve to death.A few months ago she took in a stray kitty who was already pregnant and got her spayed.She was a teacher back when she lived here in Michigan.She tried to approach the school system in Tennessee to ask them if she could start a program to educate children about animal welfare.She said very few seemed interested :( She thinks she will not be able to find good homes for these pups so she has decided that she will probably just keep all of them.She has 7 acres so she certainly has enough room.The animal shelter in her area closed due to lack of funds so most unwanted pets in her area are just dumped or shot!We just started putting together a dog rescue forum.We would appreciate everyones help and input.We want to start saving as many of these babies as we can.We don't really know what to do,but we are determined to do something!Thanks everyone! Here is the link to the forum [URL=http://www.mydogsite.com/forum]Rescue Forum[/URL]

My aunt who lives in TN was told by a neighbor that someone had dumped 3 puppies on the side of the road a few days ago.Hearing this my aunt and her husband went to check it out.When they got to the "scene of the crime" they found 3 Lab mix puppies skinny,full of ticks,fleas,and worms!So they took them home and are in the proccess of getting them well.I am so happy that these pups were saved! I don't think they would have lasted much longer. Here is a pic of them [img]http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid67/pcb147482b2f7e6efbd5c9c6ebaab2697/fbcdbd61.jpg[/img] And here is a little website she made for them [url]http://www.smbizassist.com/Orphans.htm[/url]

Awwwwwwwww what a sweetie!

That's wonderful news! I love hearing stories like that! :D The Kong is definately a wonderful invention!

It cost $160.00 to neuter Shorty. :(

Hello and welcome to the board :D

Hello and welcome :D Love to hear more about your Danes!

Check out dog anatomy :D

This is great! Thanks for posting it.I am a big time Labby fan too. :D They are so precious!

Hi Ali nice to see you here too. :D

What a cutie :D

Welcome to the board Erin.Mary Jane is so adorable :D

Sending positive energy and prayers to Perry.Good luck Horsefeathers I know you love him so much.

Oh how sad. :cry:

Did you talk to the Vet about this?Can they help in any way to get through to your freind? I agree something needs to be done before it's too late. Wendy

I agree with the others.I love Labs and my goal is to start a Lab rescue in my area someday,but they certainly aren't for everyone.I had 3 Labs and they chewed everything and they shed like crazy.I had one that was a avid digger and my yard was terrible.I love the breed and will do rescue someday,but people need to know all the pros and cons before bringing one home.Too many people don't realize what a handful they can be and many end up in the shelters.So make sure you do plenty of research before bringing any dog home. :D

OMG I am in shock.How can someone be so cruel! The pic of that dog was so heartwrenching. :cry: I can't beleive he may get away with this with just a small fine! :mad: Wendy

Oh great site.Lots of stuff to read.I will be all about it when I'm at work tomorrow. :lol: :wink: Wendy
