ADOPTION Daisy was found abandoned in very cold weather, her nails growing into her
paws. She is a little dog with a sweet personality. She is great with all dogs
big and small. Cats are a non-issue and kids are okay because they are fun. |

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." |

THE CAT WHO SANG AND OTHER STORIES OF RESCUED
PETS BY BRIGITTA MACMILLAN Life is a crapshoot, as much for animals as for human beings. This makes it likely readers will find elements of their own stories in The Cat Who Sang. This captivating book, by Vancouverite Brigitta MacMillan, is about Katie's Place Animal Shelter, a no-kill refuge in Maple Ridge for felines and the occasional bunny rabbit. The Cat Who Sang is self-published and available at Ardith.ca/bookstore and other online retailers. If you choose to buy it by e-mailing Katies.place@shaw.ca, all proceeds will go to the shelter.

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. |

IPOMERANIAN PUPPYMILL RESCUE Munchkin and Tuffy are home for Christmas I can't tell you how deeply these little guys have crawled into our hearts. Timid, shy, uncertain, yet courageous. We are crazy in love with them. Thank you sooooo much for changing the world. More Munchkin and Tuffy photos and story

POMERANIAN PUPPYMILL RESCUE There were at rough estimate 60 Pomeranians of all ages, all intact. The dogs weighed between 3 and 5 pounds, some young ones, some really old...many with no teeth. Most of the males either have serious eye wounds or scarred blue corneas from old healed wounds. Six were rescued: Ruby, Munchkin, Kandi, Tuffy, Sprite, and Mary Rose, who held her head up for the first time after being groomed and bathed. From that joyful grin, she must like being warm and fussed over and the centre of attention. |

WILL YOU FOSTER KAMIK FROM BAFFIN ISLAND? The shooting of the strays has already begun. On hearing that AAS would help with her rescue, a collar was put on her to show that she was "claimed". This was the act that saved her life. Kamik is about 6-7 months old. She arrives November 20th. A foster home must be on the North Shore where our vet is and so that we can keep in close touch to help with her needs. |

IN MEMORY OF JEAN MARTIN In BC, the world of animal welfare, and especially cat welfare, has lost one of its best informed, fearless speakers for animals. One of her last success was spearheading the campaign to end the use of gas boxes at the pound in Nanaimo. She was able to do this due to her brilliant research -- she somehow dug up the original pound contract with city hall, and it showed clearly that the only allowable means for euthanasia was lethal injection -- not a gas box. Armed with that crucial information, and a moving speech she had written, she attended a city council meeting and managed to persuade all of the councilors to continue to disallow the gas box. |

TREVOR'S LIFE SPARED His death was postponed by a Supreme Court action filed against the city by local animal rights activist Kevin Sinclair, who was later joined by the Humane Society. The city believed Trevor posed a serious risk to public safety; the Humane Society countered that he simply needed the care and attention his original owner never gave him and that he would be a good dog.
AAS cared greatly
about this abused dog as soon as we heard of him, just as we care about all chained dogs. We kept in close touch, sometimes daily, with his
rescuers. When it looked like he'd got another bad rap from
the assessor who the City of White Horse chose, we asked
Gary Gibson, of Custom Canine
to fly up and do a second assessment just days before the life-and-death
hearing. We were glad to pay Custom Canines' expenses, approximately
$1,000 and we know our supporters hope and expect us to contribute to
the rescue of chained dogs.

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. |
