Notes from the Dog Park: July 2011
http://notesfromthedogpark.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Ramblings about life with dogs and dog welfare. Thursday, July 28, 2011. Animal Cruelty and Pro Dog Legislation. I've seen too many horror stories about dog abuse in the past couple of weeks. Of course, even one story in a lifetime is too many. This week there was an article on a dog nearly decapitated, but found alive. Though veterinarians tried to save her, she died. The perpetrator was caught. Suffolk county New York is working on legislation to ban the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet shops. Thanks...

Notes from the Dog Park: A Shelter Dog Finds a Home
http://notesfromthedogpark.blogspot.com/2011/09/i.html
Ramblings about life with dogs and dog welfare. Monday, September 5, 2011. A Shelter Dog Finds a Home. At the Mercer County Shelter in Kentucky, Ziggy was known as "Spot," a thin, 3 year old Beagle mix with asymmetrical eyes and long, soft ears, a stray who either got lost or who was dumped. When a dog enters a shelter as a stray and isn't claimed, I figure he's been dumped. Had he been lost, his family could have found him. Labels: adopting a shelter dog.

Notes from the Dog Park: August 2011
http://notesfromthedogpark.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Ramblings about life with dogs and dog welfare. Monday, August 1, 2011. Puggles, Labradoodles, Breeders and Death. The names sound like cartoon characters, or words a group of 5 year olds would make up while playing make-believe: Chiweenie, Puggle, Labradoodle, Goldendoodle, Schnoodle, Pomapoo. There's something disturbing about these childlike names. Of course these pet shop pups, like their purebred counterparts, come from puppy mills. Anyone who buys one, whether because they've been swept into th...

Notes from the Dog Park: April 2011
http://notesfromthedogpark.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Ramblings about life with dogs and dog welfare. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Saving a Shelter Dog Two Thousand Miles Away. Once I helped save the life of a dog a couple of thousand miles away. At that time, I was only beginning to learn about dog rescues via the internet. This was all a while back. I'm not even sure Pet Finder was around at that time. But animal welfare advocates and rescues had begun to network, set up sites, and post dogs that needed help. And it was irrational. A few miles away dogs...

Notes from the Dog Park: Which Dog To Save?
http://notesfromthedogpark.blogspot.com/2011/07/which-dog-to-save.html
Ramblings about life with dogs and dog welfare. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Which Dog To Save? This post is purely personal, though I suspect anyone who does rescue, and many who have adopted from a kill shelter, have had the same dilemma I'm going to write about. The second shelter is perhaps sadder, with photographs of dogs in indoor kennels that look rather dark, the floor traditional cement. The adoption fee is only $20 for a dog, $30 for a younger puppy. The dogs are not vetted. And I know what it cos...
