Police Officers Rescue Kitten!

This tiny ginger kitten’s fate could have been much different if not for Toronto police officers who rescued him out of a city trash can.

A group of pedestrians heard kitten cries from a garbage can. When they found the kitten, they flagged down 13 Division officers for help.

As soon as Const. Shawn Kinghorn saw the kitten, he knew right away that he wanted to adopt the cat. He took the kitten to the vet and paid for the entire bill. They named him Django. He was given a clean bill of health except he is very hungry and would need hand feeding through a syringe.

Django is determined to be about 10 days old. No one knows how long he stayed in the garbage can, but one thing is for sure that he’s now in good hands and very loved.

This tiny kitten’s fate could have been much different if not for Toronto police officers who rescued him out of a  garbage can.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Why I am Making Strides

Because I know I will make a difference in the fight to end breast cancer.   And I know that by raising funds and walking in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event, I will help save lives from breast cancer. 

It is my firm belief that one day breast cancer will never steal another year from anyone's life. Making Strides is not only my opportunity to join my community to fight back against breast cancer, but it's also a way to inspire hope by raising funds and awareness to help those facing the disease. 


Who I am Making Strides For

This is my opportunity to not just help raise needed funds, but to honor breast cancer survivors and to remember people we have lost.


I have signed up to walk and fundraise with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I hope you will consider joining my team and/or making a donation in support of my efforts.

Severely Emaciated Dog Found and Being Treated ~ Donations Needed *PLEASE SHARE*

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A severely emaciated dog infested with fleas was discovered at a shelter Monday morning, according to The Arrow Fund.

The female Chihuahua mix, named Cher, was dumped in the overnight drop at Mason County Animal Shelter and taken to Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners in Louisville for 24 hour care.
One she arrived Dr. Scott Rizzo assessed Cher and her fragile frame. "Her body condition is about a one out of nine," said Rizzo. "Her blood work would suggest that she has not been getting adequate nutrition for a long time and she's quite a bit down the way."
The two to three year old pup weighs only seven pounds, which is half of what she should.

"We're putting together a feeding plan," said Rizzo. "You have to be very, very careful with how you re-feed these dogs. They can actually get complications from feeding too quickly now because the body can't handle the food."

Dr. Rizzo believes with the right care she can bounce back. "We've got some hurdles that we have to overcome, but I definitely think that there is path to getting her back to being a healthy dog," said Rizzo. 

Eaves hopes this type of neglect will get the community's attention. "It doesn't have to get to this point and you as a citizen can do the right thing and report it," said Eaves. 

Eaves said Cher will be monitored at Blue Pearl for around a week until she is stable. Doctors also found Cher was born with a heart condition that will require surgery once she is back to a healthy weight.
The Arrow Fund said donations are needed to care for Cher. If you would like more information on The Arrow Fund or to donate, click here

Help Dogs Recover From Their Ordeal In The Fighting Ring

In what is believed to be the second-largest dog fighting raid in U.S. history, the United States Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized 367 dogs in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®, The International Fund for Animal Welfare, and The Humane Society of the United States assisted in the raid by official request.
The dogs were rescued and transported to temporary emergency shelters in undisclosed locations, where these three groups have joined other trusted responders to provide food and shelter, veterinary care, and behavioral enrichment. Once the investigation is complete, the responders hope these dogs can be rehabilitated and eventually placed into loving forever homes.
Dog fighting is a felony for good reason: these innocent dogs are the victims of unfathomable cruelty, forced to fight for their very lives. The rescued dogs range in age from just several days to around twelve years old.
You can help. Your donation helps provide food, shelter, safe transportation, and care for the dogs rescued in this operation as they recover from lives of cruelty and abuse.

Colorado Flooding - Help Animals Now

You can help animals affected by the Colorado flooding.
On September 15, 2013, the president declared a major disaster in Colorado. Weather patterns conspired to generate massive flooding that damaged homes and businesses and destroyed critical infrastructure, including roads and phone lines. The National Guard and other emergency responders have rescued more than a thousand people from areas cut off due to washed out roads and high waters.
When natural disasters strike, pets as well as people are affected; they too need emergency shelter, food, and water. Shelters need help providing for the animals in their care, repairing facilities, providing food and medical care, and replacing water-damaged supplies. Every donation makes a difference in the lives of animals.
You can help. Donations through this Gift That Gives More™ are earmarked for emergency rescue and recovery efforts for Colorado's animals in need, and the shelters caring for them.
