BAN DOG AUCTIONS in OHIO

On Saturday April 3 I attended a meeting to discuss the ballot initiative to have dog auctions banned in the State of Ohio. I am now collecting signatures on a petition so we can have this put on the ballot next year. Dog auctions are the leading source of dogs used for breeding by puppy mills and backyard breeders. If we are to put an end to the horrors of puppy mills, we need to start with the dog auctions. Pennsylvania already passed a law against this and we can too!

Please check out the site for more information on this subject. You can even download petitions there if you want.

A couple of weeks ago I helped transport 3 little Schnauzers, about 2 years old, that were obviously from a backyard breeder or a puppy mill. When we put them on the ground for their potty break, they had no idea how to stand on concrete. They had always been on wire floors. Their feet curled under and their toenails were too long. When I picked them up, they clung to me for dear life, and I am sure they had never been held by a human before. They were afraid to make eye contact with me at first but little by little they began to trust me and even licked my hand once or twice.

We drove them to a rescue where they were groomed and fed and shown love for the first time. They are  now safe in foster homes and learning how to play with toys and hopefully will be adopted soon.

We need to put an end to puppy mill so no dogs suffer like these babies did.

Please support the Ban on Ohio Dog Auctions!!

OBAMA GOES BACK ON PROMISE TO ADOPT SHELTER DOG!

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY PRESS RELEASE ABOUT "EVERY RESCUED DOG HAS A TALE"

I am very disheartened by the news that the Obamas did not follow through on their promise to adopt a "shelter dog" and get a "mutt like me". They too have adopted a pure bred dog from a breeder, just like Joe Biden did. I was so hoping that this administration would not continue the lies to the public. We were led on, time and time again by President Obama when he was a candidate and even since the election that he would NOT go to a breeder.


What message did this send to all the shelters around the country? I feel so bad for them. And regardless of what you will hear on the morning news show, there ARE indeed Portuguese Water Spaniels in shelters, even puppies, available. There is no excuse for lying to the public to get the votes of the dog lovers in this country and I will not forget it. In the whole scheme of things I know it is a LITTLE thing, but not really. It speaks to his character and we have had enough leaders with no character in the past 20 years to last a lifetime. He had a chance to make a difference in the way people view shelters dogs as valuable or "damaged" and he blew it. If this matters to you as much as it does to me, do not hesitate to let the President know about it at the whitehouse.gov website.



SO if YOU are looking for a BEST FRIEND, don't do what the Obamas and the Bidens did. Go to a local shelter and save TWO lives...the one you take home with you and the one who will take his place at the shelter and get off the street.



DO THE RIGHT THING.

FOR HIM....
