<span style="font-size: large;">Have a look! <a href="http://wildewmn.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/is-reacting-really-reactive/#comments">http://wildewmn.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/is-reacting-really-reactive</a></span><br />

Also, poor Lily, the volunteers at WLA have been working so hard with Lily to get her out of harms way. Right now she is IN TROUBLE with TIME RUNNING OUT... You can donate towards her rescue. Contact Mirja at MBishop355@aol.com. Please network her too! Thanks!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Spring...</span><br />
<br />
Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. I do love to enjoy the outdoors and see all the animal activity going on as birds build nests and everyone emerges from their long winter hibernation... Okay, well maybe not so much in LA, but I guarantee that it is going on all around us.<br />
<br />
For example, our dear feral cats have done their mating and are now nesting... I just caught two pregnant feral cats that have been living around my property. I will have both cats fixed when they are done nursing, socialize the kittens, have the kittens fixed and find them homes. The queens will be set free back onto my property once again but at least I will know that we won't have anymore kittens that would probably either end up as coyote food or hit by a car.<br />
<br />
I love my feral kitties as they keep the rodents at bay which is a real service if you ask me. They are beautiful to look at and seem so grateful for the meals I provide. I look forward to many more years enjoying their presence and I am so glad that there will be no more kittens!<br />
<br />
I found a great site called <a href="http://indyferal.org/index.php" target="_blank">Indy Feral</a> that can give you answers about pretty much everything to do with feral cats! They also have articles from lots of other organizations like the <a href="http://www.feralcat.com/" target="_blank">Feral Cat Coalition</a>. I will keep you posted on how things go with my ferals and their litters as things progress.<br />
<br />
Now here are a couple of cuties who need homes. Both are sweet and friendly and get along with each other too! Please network these cuties!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Wow! So far it has been a stellar December at the West LA shelter with many larger dogs finding homes for the holidays. That is wonderful news! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i>Yet, there are always more dogs (and cats) who are slipping through the cracks and are patiently waiting for a new home. If you are thinking of adding a pet to your family, now is the time to save a dog or cat from your local shelter. <b>Shelters are FULL</b> during the holidays and they desperately need your kindness to get through this season. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you can't adopt consider fostering. You can also volunteer, donate/sponsor a dog or cat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please, reach out to your local shelter and help. Happy Holidays!</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brenda Barnette, the GM of LA Animal Services just sent out this press release. It's a great idea so I hope you spread the word and tell everyone you know to ADOPT and not shop for a pet. Your local shelter is a great place to start with all types of wonderful dogs, cats, rabbits and more! Some shelters even have horses, goats, chickens, etc. looking for homes. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Come on, we all know that pet stores SELL animals from puppy mills and other similar breeding situations where the animal's well being is not considered. So let's not perpetuate this horrible trade that tortures animals to make a buck.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Please support your local shelter, they need you!!!</b></u></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It has been an amazing 2012 for the animals! At of the end of October, in addition to more adoptions, there were 3,500 fewer animals’ lives taken this year in L.A. city shelters than last year. That’s a huge achievement and a giant step toward No-Kill. Thank You Angelenos!<br /><br />There’s still one month left to achieve what we could once only dream about. Together, let’s close out 2012 on a high note – and make the month of December a <strong>No-Kill December</strong>!<br /><br />You can help make December the first month in LA history that the number of healthy or treatable animals killed in L.A. Animal Shelters is<strong> ZERO</strong>. Here’s how:</span><span style="color: red;"><strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">1. Adopt from a City Shelter </span></strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">– Open your home to an animal in need. From December 1–23, you’ll receive a special discount on select pets at all L.A. city shelters, thanks to FoundAnimals “12 Pets of Christmas” adoption promotion.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red;">2. </span><span style="color: red;">Foster</span> </strong>– If you can’t commit to adopting, then fostering is a great way to give a pet the time they need to find a forever home. For more information on fostering, click </span><a href="http://simplesend.com/simple/t.asp?S=541&ID=59489&NL=9743&N=74333&SI=4514833&URL=http://www.laanimalservices.com/Volunteer/Vol_Foster.htm" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">.</span><span style="color: red;"><strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">3. Spread the Word</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> – The more people who join the movement to get Los Angeles to No Kill, the sooner we will get there. So encourage everyone to help make this a No-Kill December! Tweet it, Facebook it, encourage your friends and family to adopt or foster a furry friend for the holidays.</span><span style="color: red;"><strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">4. Donate</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> – Can't open your home? Your generous donation could still help a pet find a home of his or her own. Here is a link for online giving:</span><a href="http://simplesend.com/simple/t.asp?S=541&ID=59489&NL=9743&N=74333&SI=4514833&URL=http://anidonation.lacity.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial;">http://anidonation.lacity.org/</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><wbr></wbr>. There are several options to choose from: an in-kind donation, a one-time cash donation or a monthly pledge, a kennel sponsorship or a direct donation to the STAR program dedicated to animals who need extra medical care.</span></span></span></div>

Thanksgiving is the time of year when family and friends get together to enjoy each other’s company and a myriad of delicious foods. We have a tendency to include our four-legged family members in this feast, which often results in overindulgence. Even when we don’t purposely include them, the agile and creative dog or cat can capture a special treat from the kitchen counter, trash or even the dining room table!<br /><br /><br />Thanksgiving weekend is also a busy time for emergency veterinary clinics. Dogs and cats suffer very serious and sometimes fatal consequences from turkey bones, too much rich and fatty foods and just plain overeating. If your pet is not acting like himself or herself, consult your veterinarian. Your best friend could be seriously ill.<br /><br /><br />It is difficult to comprehend, but when giving pets treats you must consider the relative size of their body compared to yours. If you weigh 150 pounds and your dog weighs 25 pounds, he or she is only 1/6th of your total weight. If you visualize yourself as a whole pie, comparatively your dog is only one slice of pie. Consequently, sharing an unfinished plate that still holds a generous serving of mashed potatoes with gravy, a side of very rich dressing, a few bites of turkey and a small slice of pumpkin pie with your best friend can make him or her feel miserable.<br /><br /><br />You do want your pets to enjoy the holiday. Stop by a pet food store and purchase some new dog biscuits or cat treats; then reduce the amount of their regular meal to accommodate the treats they will be getting throughout the day. Remember, biscuits and treats are usually much higher in calories than regular pet food so having them skip dinner may be a prudent choice if they have been snacking all day.<br /><br /><br />If you are planning a quiet holiday at home without a lot of company and confusion, and you don’t already have a dog or cat to share your life with, this could be the perfect time to visit one of our six Los Angeles City Centers and fall in love with your new best friend. You can get him or her settled in while you have a couple of days off work. What better way to give thanks than to give an orphaned shelter pet a home? You will be repaid with unconditional love and laughs for years to come. </div>

How a dog looks can be very deceiving indeed. A study done by Maddie's Fund Veterinary Medicine program at University of Florida makes the point over and over...and over. It's simple, do DNA tests on a bunch of dogs, ask people what they think the primary breed of the dog is and then compare the DNA test results. The results will amaze you.<br />
<br />
I had to laugh at some of the results because you have to wonder how some of these dogs got together?! It's a fascinating study and it will definitely make you reassess what you thought you knew about identifying dog breeds. All I can say is those American Eskimo Dogs sure get around! ;-)<br />
<br />
On a more serious note, I can tell you that every shelter out there is WAY off on their guesses as to what kind of dog breeds they have. One reason there are so many Pit Bulls in the shelters is that most mutts look like a what we think of as a "Pit Bull." How many dogs on this list would be categorized as a Pit Bull at your shelter? <br />
<br />
Most importantly, this study proves another reason why BSL is such nonsense. How do you identify a dog as a Pit Bull? I seriously doubt they are doing DNA testing on every dog. How can BSL be legal when they don't even know the breed of the dog? I'm starting to think that we need to eradicate the term Pit Bull from our vocabulary and call a spade a spade: it is a mixed breed dog!<br />
<br />
So, check out this study, you'll be really amazed at some of the mixes.<br />

These two dogs were rescued by a kind-hearted person who already had a houseful of animals and was struggling with her own problems. Yet, she gave them the very best of everything and did all she could to give these dogs a great quality of life for the past year or so. The dogs are up to date on shots and both are fixed. Unfortunately, she can no longer provide for these lovely dogs due to her on-going illness.<br />
<br />
Both dogs came from a very sad situation where they were tethered and left outside with no food or water all day and night. Her rescuer saw what was happening and convinced the person to give her the dogs. What originally started as being a "foster" situation, ended up in what is now an urgent situation.<br />
<br />
First, Arnie is a medium size Shepherd mix as you can see from his distinguished profile. He is a playful boy with lots of energy. He loves to bug Ziggy (which she tolerates nicely) and he also enjoys toys and raw bones. He loves to go on walks and is a friendly boy overall. He can seem a little tentative at first meetings but then warms right up.<br />
<br />
Ziggy is the "brains" of this duo. She is a very smart and confident dog. She has some obedience training which she seems to enjoy performing. She is a relaxed dog with a good temperament. She's strong though and needs someone who can keep up with her.<br />
<br />
If you know anyone interested in either dog or both, please contact Lola4dogs@gmail.com right away!<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If yes, you are my hero! :-) You already know how satisfying it is to help a wonderful animal that is waiting for a home in an over-crowded shelter system.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If no, why not? The shelter picks up the tab and you get to socialize and even save the life of an amazing animal that will be grateful for your help. The clock is ticking for each and every animal at the shelter. Only YOU can help them.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are some of the dogs currently in the foster program at LA Animal Services. Please consider fostering one of these worthy dogs or cats. You will be helping these animals more than you can know!</span></h3>

<br />
How to celebrate:<br />
<br />
Lots of sweet doggies waiting for homes at West LA right now. Why not save a life and adopt from your local shelter. If not, you can do a lot of things to help the dogs at the shelter like volunteering or donating. As a volunteer you can do different types of activities with all the animals be they cats, dogs or rabbits. The activity can be as simple as walking a dog. Inside and outside of the shelter there are adoption events where you can help people choose a shelter dog. You can photograph shelter dogs, write about them, spread the word through social media, etc. Donations can be money, items that the animals need, or donating your time to help keep the shelter going. There are tons of opportunities to contribute and I can assure you that you will feel really good about doing it. <b>Animals have no voice, we are their voice.</b><br />
<br />
You can get started immediately by helping me right now. Just tell everyone you know about these dogs! Happy National Dog Day everyone!!<a href="http://www.laanimalservices.com/" target="_blank"> www.laanimalservices.com</a><br />
