62 Dogs and Still Going
Dog A Day Summer Rescue Challenge Heats Up
Meet #55 - BEN!
Ben is a little staffie pit that had been chained for 8 years in
Lafayette, IN. This rescue was orchestrated by our newest rep,
Monica Alcorn.
Monica is an AC in Lafayette. Thanks to her efforts
and contacting us we were able to find him a foster home in South
Bend, IN.
Ben now enjoys living inside. He has his own dog bed and
a stay at home dad that takes him for walks several times a day. He
also has 2 pup sisters that think he's a blast to play with.
Ben
was just neutered and completely vetted. Thankfully he is heartworm
free! He has a few issues with toy/bone possession and some food
aggression that his foster family is working with him on.
His new
foster mom just loves him and is insisting to go on all home visits
for anyone that wants to adopt him. She wants to make absolutely
sure he only goes to the best home. Don't we all! He clearly has
won them over!.

Michael Vick - To Play or Not
Does even the most villainous among us deserve 2nd chances?
Animal
lovers who are also football fans, face a dilemma come this fall - to
watch NFL games and support an organization that would allow a
convicted animal murderer to play for them, or to ban everything NFL.
Where do you stand?
The NFL has
decided, for whatever insane reason, to allow Michael 'mass murderer' Vick back
into the fold to return to life as usual. Is this a mistake on their part or is
the outrage of animal activists everywhere unjust? Read the rest here.

WV Law Update
Ordinance Could Hinder Pets' Activity
Charleston,
W.Va -- Pet owners might have to make some difficult choices if Kanawha
County follows through on a plan to restrict how and when animals can be tied up.
County officials are working on an animal cruelty
ordinance aimed at preventing dog owners from leaving their canines
tethered for long periods of time.
But some animal owners say the restrictions could make it difficult to let their dogs outside.

CO Law Update
Regulation Takes on Excessive Chaining of Dogs
The
Larimer County commissioners on Monday unanimously approved changes to
the county's animal control ordinance, including a prohibition on
Society.
 The
regulation on tethering an animal is not intended to ban chaining dogs,
said Capt. Bill Porter, director of animal control with the Larimer
Humane Society.
The idea is to promote responsible pet ownership
and keep dogs from being chained and confined to a limited area for
"weeks, months, years," Porter told the commissioners.
