  GYPSY'S HAPPY ENDING -
THE FINAL CHAPTER

 

I knew the minute I saw her, she would come home with me. I'm not surprised because I felt a strong connection to her beginning when I saw her picture on your website.  She and I are like soul mates. She is a delight, walks great with the retractable leash, sleeps in her various beds, is learning some hand signs so we can communicate and what more can I say? As I write this she is sound asleep now and looking content.

Watch Diesel's Rescue (Part 3 of 3)

Diesel's days used to consist of only two things: pain and isolation. Then he met Animal Advocates...

Now his days are filled with fun, exercise, good food, and comfort; and most important of all, he has a family that loves him.

Rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming neglected animals is what Animal Advocates has been doing for 15 years, but it comes at a cost: Diesel's bills have amounted to more than $5000. Without the help of donors, his new life wouldn't have been possible — he would have lived the rest of his life freezing on that chain. Please donate so that we can continue to give new life to suffering and neglected animals.

  VEGAS: THREE LEGS ARE BETTER THAN NONE!

Vegas is a 6 month old boxer puppy, excitable, full of energy in spite of being in extreme pain due to her horribly crippled front leg from an unhealed broken leg. She was surrendered to Lesa Ibarra, a Boxer rescue for many years.  A bone was about to pierce her skin if she didn't get immediate care. She got it! Lesa took Vegas to Canada West Veterinary Clinic in Vancouver where there are surgical specialists. Surgery was going to be around $5000, and that didn't include after-care. The options were to euthanize or amputate the leg.  The choice was clear to Lesa - raise the money.  The surgery was performed and last Vegas was free from agonizing pain.  She adapted very well to being a three-legged puppy.  She hops around like she was born with only three legs and runs around the yard with her foster brothers and sisters.

AAS was asked to help with the bill.  We said "Yes" with $500.  Full story and photos

ADOPTION

Pepper is a lab cross about two years old.  She was rescued off a chain in the Yukon. She is very affectionate and would love to be someone's lap-dog. Pepper is also very smart!  She loves to run and swim and will fetch a ball for as long as you will throw it.

  RESERVE CATS RESCUE

"There are a bunch of cats on one of the reserves near Chilliwack. I went there last night and knocked on one of the doors offering to spay/neuter the cats. I put down some food so that the cats would come out of hiding. There were several adults and about 5 older kittens. There were also some timid ones who were hiding and ran as I approached them. I can trap/neuter/ release/ feed the feral ones as well."

  POMERANIAN PUPPYMILL RESCUE

I love this little dog. Dynamite couldn't break Ruby and I apart at this point. She has been through the wringer with neglect, abuse, skin infections, heart issues, eye conditions and colitis yet is always happy, happy, happy and loves to be close and cuddled. Ruby has a never-ending capacity for forgiveness as evidenced by her loving nature in spite of her previous life in the puppy mill. If people could be the same we would have peace in the world.

THE SPCA CALLS FOR TOUGHER DANGEROUS DOG LEGISLATION
August 28th, (News1130) At least one Surrey councillor is agreeing it's time to toughen up the rules to ensure public safety. Surrey City Councillor Barinder Rasode says “If the SPCA came forward to council with a proposal we would certainly not only discuss that proposal but send it out to public consultation…and maybe a ban is what we need to look at."

The photo is of a Surrey Pitbull whose suffering was not relieved by the BC SPCA.  It is dogs like this that the SPCA and the City of Surrey will subject to "tougher legislation" to protect the public.  Should the BC SPCA be in the business of protecting the public from dogs or protecting dogs from the public?  What do you think?  Let us know, send your opinion, or your story. If you have one, include a photo of a Pitbull or other breed that has been banned in other jurisdictions and we will add their stories here. . Email to animaladvocates@telus.net

IT'S TIME TO SPEAK FOR CHAINED DOGS!

Write the BC SPCA.  Tell it you want the PCA Act used to help all suffering, isolated dogs, whether they be on chains or other tethers, in pens, in garages, in sheds, under porches, in closets, or in basements.

Tell the BC SPCA you want it to use the word "suffering" in the PCA Act to prosecute for the suffering that more people in BC have to witness every day than all the media-attracting puppymills and starving horses put together.
