Man Stabbed Puppy During Argument, Police Say

Man Stabbed Puppy During Argument, Police Say

Way too many of my news posts seem to involve animal cruelty. I'm not a huge fan of Pit Bulls, but they deserve to be treated well and cared for. There is just no justification for killing a pet this way.

I hope they throw the book at him.

Puppy Discovered Nearly Frozen In Dumpster

Puppy Discovered Nearly Frozen In Dumpster

Bittersweet story. Sad for the abuse and miserable cold the puppy endured, joy for its survival and recovery. You can judge a person by how he treats his animals. The person who left this puppy alive in a dumpster in the freezing cold is a horrible, wretched piece of human debris.

Richmond landlord receives probation, home detention for brutal dog beating

There is NO excuse for this kind of criminality. I can't understand the logic. I could see jail time just for the chase, for driving on the sidewalk and for running the lights. Add on top of that the theft (dog-napping?) and torture of the animal and I really don't get this.

I'm not sure if this was a real head-butt, or if the dog nipped her with her teeth. Either way, Martha is probably covering for francesca, like any good owner would do.

Please take care of your dogs. Have them vaccinated and keep control over them.

These dogs will likely be destroyed, but the fault lies with the owner.

Puppy Friendly Pet Store Puppy Policy

Pet store puppy policy helps dogs across U.S.

A nice blog post from San Fran. I believe in breeding healthy pups. I believe that the key to that is committed breeders who deal directly with their customers and who have nothing to hide concerning how their dogs are treated and cared for.
