"Dear Save a Dog and Kids Inc.,

We at DogBreedsInfo.org are pleased to present you with a Dog Rescue Award for excellence in providing underprivileged dogs a much valued resource. We take pride in acknowledging the best organizations around the country with our special award emblem, recognizing them for their outstanding work – Save a Dog and Kids certainly qualifies as one of them.

Thank you for all the work you and your organization provides for dogs in need. We wish you the best in continuing your highly valued service."

 

Would you sponsor just one new young rescue:  6 Yrs ago DB was diagnosed with degenerative disks, and he recooperated so well but yesterday just before Christmas, DBs legs gave out from under him and Vet has him on Prednisone, but he needs much medical help. Won't you sponsor his medical needs?  DB We need $120 each for Deworming, Shots 2 sets, Microchip, Spay/Neuter of kitten, puppy we just rescued.  We have spent over $1,780 plus in vetting and no donations have come in for over a year. Cali needed Dental and meds for $155, she is so sweet and never complained.   And with our little 3 legged Precious that just had liver failure, we encurred another $330.  And 08/03/11 6 cats, and 2 dogs needed complete shots boosters for another $240, and we dont have $200 for Dentals 2 of them need.  Another $200 for Shaggy and $130 still needed. We hope these little angels will get generous donations to reimburse costs of helping people, shelters and these thrown away and neglected dogs and cats. I found a great program starting in Utah www.caninewithacause.com that helps disabled people train their future service dog.  $700 for the course.  I hope to take my rescued German Shephard there to help me up, and to pick up things since my spinal chord injury is getting so painful for me to get up from the ground or take deep breaths.

Thank you dear friend of over 12 yrs Dawn Buhlman of Dawgy Heart rescue of over 25 yrs here in Utah for your support and friendship: "I just posted your website information on my FB page, and will send out appropriate emails to friends and others as well.  Please know you are in my prayers,  I hope you get better very soon. "

 
Love,

PETS OF THE MONTH

PLEASE look at pictures and videos and help us find them great homes because we are retiring the rescue part of this program. 

 

PEANUT is a miniature Border Collie really!  He loves to run and heard other dogs, loves to learn, and be held and cuddled, 5 mos old puppy that is so sweet, crate trained, playful, active, shy little boy that is neutered, vaccinated, healthly and microchip.  He started out in a sad home but his owner realized that having her boyfiend kick him when he wanted to play with the new baby was not fair to Peanut and she gave him up. He luckily is so young that he has not been traumatized but is trusting, loving and ready for an adult home.  He is great with cats, kittens, and other dogs.

 

 

They are the most loving little angels that love to cuddle and just need someone to trust to take good care of them please.

SPECIAL EXPERIENCED LABRADOODLE Groomer/FosterHOME NEEDED:

 

Gentle Giant  Labradoodle SHAGGY is young (2 yr), friendly, quiet, crate trained, but needs lots of training as he is big and strong , can be protective  and so sweet.  He is groomed, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  He is so sweet, cuddly, loving, does all you ask him to do, fetches and brings it to you. What a great dog.   He is doing great in Advanced Obedience Training and will hopefully go onto Service Dog Training for our founder.  Thanks CAndy of K9 Grooming in South Jordan for grooming him again this summer.  http://youtu.be/w22Fasb8Ltc WATCH HOW ADORABEL HE IS ON THIS LINK

 

 

 Thank you all  for your enthusiasm and interest in Shaggy. I thought at first he was a Sheepdog, then the Sheepdog rescue in AZ told me if he had a tail, he must be a Bearded Collie.  Now he is relieved of all those thick mattting he had all over his body, with foxtails getting into sores.  But he will be fine and be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and health needs taken care of next week.  WE don’t know total costs to be reimbursed yet.  Now that he is shaved with white on chest and under chin, we think he must be a Sheepdog/Bearded Collie mix or  LabraDoodle since he doesn't shed.  Please fill out questionaire below.  Shaggy is doing great! He is a wonderful boy. We can't imagine life without him. He sleeps through the night on his bed with us and knows where to potty. Thank you for helping us find the perfect companion! Here's a few more pics of Shaggy." Unfortunately Shaggy lost his family and needs an experienced very loving home.

Thank you Candy owner of K9  DESIGN for helping relieve Shaggy and bath him of

 awful smell he must have suffered with for over 6 mos we estimate.  He loves to fetch, was so good at groomers.  What a great groomer and filled with REscuers.  Support such generous and compassionate small businesses: call Candy at 801-446-7996 or come by with your pooch at 12652 S. 2700 W. #E in Riverton UT.  We saw pet owners with special needs dogs like epileptic, bad arthritis and others come in for special care by this great place. Candy is so kind and gentle that the dogs are very relaxed.  We hope Candy will want to work together on kids program which is a dream of hers as well.

 

 Now he looks like a ShaggyDoodle.

This 28" piece of matting went accross his back. when we rescued him for the shelter he had been in for 2 weeks.   How horrible in this heat. Thank you Candy for helping him. 

DONATE PLEASE BY EMAILING US AT saveadogandkids@saveadogandkids.org We have run out of funds after all the vet bills for all these rescued pets and have no more money to care for them with.

Organization allows troubled youth to train, trust dogs

Description: http://universe.byu.edu/wp-content/themes/advanced-newspaper/images/icon-author.pngby Aubrey SteenhoekDescription: http://universe.byu.edu/wp-content/themes/advanced-newspaper/images/icon-date.pngMay 16, 2012, 6:00 am

Denise De Vynck suffered back injures after a head-on collision years ago. Her spirits were low, she needed a friend and she didn’t know where to turn.

In 1993 she found that friend in an unexpected form — a dog named Charlie.

The friendship that De Vynck found with Charlie served as inspiration for Save a Dog and Kids, the non-profit organization she formed in 1999 that has rescued over 1,200 dogs since.

“I had a parent come to me one day and say her kids did not like the after-school programs and wondered if they could correlate something with the dogs,” said De Vynck. “That’s when it occurred to me that I could have children help the dogs and in turn the kids would be helped.”

De Vynck has worked with children from every kind of background, but said she especially enjoys working with troubled youth. Once she gained her passion for animals, De Vynck said she realized dogs could further help the youth that she works with, and decided to pair the two together.

Description: http://universe.byu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/astrutnancynbelle-211x300.jpgAubrey Steenhoek

Save a Dog and Kids allows troubled youth to train and trust dogs.

De Vynck met with one of the nation’s leading experts on abuse, Dr. Frank Ascione, who said children who are abused or see abuse are predisposed to it. After talking with the doctor, De Vynck said Ascone’s research showed that animal therapy is one of the best ways to rid of abusive traits.

“Kids who have been through difficult situations have to feel needed,” said De Vynck. “All types of children can benefit from learning how to train and trust dogs. Those children who are troubled, have been abused or have depression learn to trust again. ”

Save a Dog and Kids does not just work with children, but anyone in need of a new friend. De Vynck explained that Charlie, her first rescued dog, helped her regain her health, and after gaining this happiness she realized she wanted to share it with others.

“Animals are such a gift, such angels,” said De Vynck.

Programs all over the United States have paired up with Save a Dog and Kids to transport the animals to their new homes. Flying Paws is a non-profit organization that flies animals to homes all over the country. Their rescue railroads consist of people volunteering their time and gas to transport animals from one state to the next.

“Bailey, one of the dogs, was transported across 15 states, with 15 different drivers to get to her new home in Chicago,” said De Vynck. “It is really cool to see people come together and help.”

De Vynck has found homes for over 1,200 animals all over the U.S., and those who work with the animals love seeing their progress. Kristen Queen is a new volunteer at the rescue and a student at BYU.

“It feels so good to see the progression of our work,” said Queen. “The process shows Denise’s love for the animals and it just feels good to know we are making a difference. ”

USDA: Stop Online Puppy Mills

Started by: Anne, Washington, District Of Columbia

 

Do you want to stop puppy mills?

My birthday is coming up on July 17th, and I'd love y'all to support my campaign to help close a USDA loophole which currently is very bad news for puppies. As an active member of the rescue community I have seen the effects of puppy mills first hand and would appreciate your support. I will be submitting this petition to the USDA so please sign by or on July 16 when the comments are due - if not please just keep on signing and sharing to show the continued interest in this issue!

The problem is that right now many puppy breeding facilities that sell puppies are not licensed or regularly inspected for basic humane treatment of animals. These places sell online, on the phone, or through the mail without even giving people a chance to see the animal like you would in a regular, inspected and licensed store.

While I'm a rescuer and would always encourage you to adopt an animal, the fact is that this huge USDA loophole is being exploited by those who breed and sell animals without being held to basic animal welfare standards.

Please join me and sign the petition. Make my birthday wish come true to take this step forward for animal welfare.

-Anne

"Dear Utah Animal Advocates,

On Friday, February 25, the Utah State House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of House Bill 210, a disturbing and inhumane bill that would allow for the killing of feral animals. It has now moved on to the Utah Senate for consideration.

If passed, HB 210 will allow anyone in the unincorporated (meaning mostly rural) areas within the State of Utah to decide for themselves whether an animal is feral and "humanely" kill said animal(s). Nowhere in the bill is the term "humanely" explicitly defined.

The ASPCA opposes this proposed legislation for several reasons. First, it often is very difficult to determine whether an animal is “feral,” especially in the case of cats. Second, this measure would provide airtight legal protection to those who kill animals for fun, as long as they can claim that they believed their victims were feral. Third, Utah has been very proactive in working on Trap-Neuter-Return programs for feral cats, allowing these animals to live out their lives without contributing to the cat overpopulation problem. This bill would defeat the efforts of many volunteers who have worked tirelessly to help these feral cats.

What You Can Do
Please help us stop this unreasonable bill from becoming state law. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to look up your Utah state senator’s phone number and call him/her right away to express your opposition to HB 210.

Thank you, Utah, for speaking up for these under-protected animals! "  ASPCA

Animal shelter wins $2,000 for customer service

The South Valley Animal Shelter in Spanish Fork received $2,000 for its good customer service from Maddie's Fund, a foundation working with Petfinder.com to improve customer service.

Shelter director Mike Morgan said, "We're thrilled," adding that the money is always welcome.

He plans to use the money for a more aggressive vaccination campaign and veterinarian care for adoptable pets. Morgan said people who want a pet but can't afford the up-front costs will benefit from Maddie's Fund largesse as well. The shelter will be able to offer lower cost or free adoptions to these folks.

"We will try to use the donation for things that directly affect the pets," he said.

The shelter posts photos and descriptions of adoptable pets on Petfinder.com, an online database of homeless pets. Secret shoppers phoned, e-mailed or visited randomly selected animal rescue organizations and chose a weekly winner based on that organization's customer service and response. If the random shopper visited a shelter and had a positive experience, that shelter immediately won $2,000.

That is how it happened at the South Valley shelter, Morgan said. Someone came in, visited the pet areas, took a tour of the shelter and visited with the staff a while. No one thought anything was out of the ordinary as Morgan said people often do this. But at the end of the visit, "They said we'd won $2,000." Morgan wasn't sure it wasn't a joke until he received the letter with the check.

According to the Maddie's Fund website, a representative visited the shelter the week of Sept. 6.

Maddie's Fund developed its customer service reward program in response to a survey of Petfinder.com website visitors who were motivated to adopt a pet rather than buy one. These motivated adopters did not always receive an encouraging welcome. Nearly half the time, shelters didn't reply to potential adopters. After this survey, Maddie's Fund staff placed customer service improvement at the top of their priority list. "The folks at Maddie's Fund pledged $50,000 this year to make it happen," wrote Betsy Saul, co-founder of Petfinder.com.

The shelter, at 582 W. 3000 North, is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. South Utah Valley Animal Shelter posts adoptable pets on Petfinder at www.petfinder.com/shelters/UT53.html.

"BECAUSE OF ECONOMY AND LOSS OF JOB THIS OWNER NEEDS A HOME FOR THESE TOGETHER. tHESE WERE ADOPTED FROM RESCUE THAT NO LONGER EXISTS AND SHELTER  IN CA:  Here are the pictures and bios you asked for.  Please let me know what I need to do.  Thanks!
 
Twinkie - Chiquawa/Terrier mix.  11 years old.  Sight is a little gone, meaning he won't climb stairs anymore.  A little hard headed, but a big heart.  Loves to have his belly rubbed.  Loves to play bite.  Good with older kids (like over 6).  Loves to walk.  Good at dog park but really doesn't care for his but to be sniffed.  Loves to play with Pilar.  They are great buddies.  I got Twink from the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter when he was 1-1/2 years old. He loves walks.  He drinks a lot of water.  Twink can't jump on beds or couchs any more.
 
Pilar - got her from the Little Dog Rescue from Orange, CA.  I have contacted them to see if I can have them find her another home.  Pilar was sponsered by John Wayne's third wife, Pilar, so they kept the name.  I call her my Hollywood dog.  She is all girl, but can run with the boys.  She is a happy dog, loves to lay in laps.  Plays well with other dogs, most sizes.  She is a love.  I've had her since she was 1-1/2 years as well.  She is about 15 pounds.  She loves walks and car rides.  She is about 8 years old now. She loves to get into bed with you - can still jump up.
 
I have had both dogs on the Banfield Insurance since I've had them.  I am so lucky to have had them.  My current situation is I found out my spouse is gay and has kept that from he as a secret fantasy lifestyle.  We are separating.  I'm moving to my mom's condo where they don't accept dogs and my spouse doesn't care for dogs.  So I'm in a bind.  Ideally, I would love to find a foster family and get my dogs back when I'm back on my feet.  I have a house I rent out in the Liberty Wells area, but I can't afford to live there until I am back on my feet (laid off from the home building industry back in March '09).  Or if there is an awesome family who would love these great dogs, I would be thrilled.
I have attached pictures. 
 
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!"

We hope that a large donation of $800 including all vetting for the next two teacup dogs like we have been given in the past will help reimburse vetting for all rescue pets to date:

  Annabelle is as teacup as a Pom gets, with her tiny little face, feet and all hair.  She has the nose of a Japanese Chin though that makes her so cute, she loves toys, spinning, begging, and sitting in your arms. She loves to chase toys and sit with you in the recliner.  She is so tiny and adorable and soft and fluffy.

 

WE got three little ones out, Pommeranian/Jap Chin 4 lb little girl Ana, 5 lb Yorkie boy Little Soldier, and 8 lb purebred Toy White Poodle Kitty are the most loving little babies that we were thrilled to give the adoption donation to the shelter of $236 total that goes to help the shelter buy vaccinations for all the homeless pets in the shelter.  We will now have our Veterinarian do dentals, spay/neuters/vaccinations and microchips and have them thoroughly checked out. We have spent $1,200 plus other costs total and so need to recoop costs with $750 donation each please.   They are all going outside to potty on leash well, making friends, and Ana loves to fetch toys and play and do little tricks.  She has a very tiny voice too.  Kitty is quiet, calm, loving and just wants to sit on your lap.  Little Soldiers needs obedience and house training but he is smart and should learn them well.  We loved working with the wonderful shelter staff that we will have work with us to deliver these little angels to their new mommy when we find the best applicants by delivering them to their new home.  WE got a great group picture with Pat, Deidre and Lindsay of the shelter that we will post on our website www.saveadogandkids.org/Adoptions.htm  And come read and see the entire trip to new home pictures of the dogs we rescued from this shelter in the past at http://ww.saveadogandkids.org/latestadoptions.htm  Come fill out our questionaire below to apply to adopt these tiny angels.  ( pictures of the three little angels with Shelter workers Deidre, Pat and Lindsay, and our Director coming today!!!  Thank you South Utah Valley Animal Shelter and Director Mike Morgan we have worked with for 9 yrs now.  And then there are many more that need a home. .  www.suvas.org

 Webmaster Needed!

 

I do a lot of volunteer work in animal rescue and saw your ad on craigslist for the senior pups you are trying to find homes for. I actually saw that you needed a webmaster at saveadogandkids.org.  I then wrote my sister who went to college and has experience in frontpage and told her you needed a webmaster and asked her if she would help you.  She said yes so I wrote you."
