Spike the bulldog, beaten by his owner Maria Aguilar with a shovel, continues his recovery at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in Manhattan. Almost 100 people have emailed and called looking to adopt the 11-month-old pup, and a number of people have submitted requests to formally adopt Spike when he is ready to be [...]
 Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.  Andrea Rosebrock Andrea has come onboard FTLTD to help out by contributing some stories and following-up with her "Justice Round-Up" series. For the Love of the Dog is my small effort to do that. Please, won't you help me! All articles on this site, unless otherwise attributed, are copyrighted to and property of Deanna Raeke.

Comments (12) My friends, today I want to share with you a touching piece written by a rescuer but I warn you, have your tissues ready…. From Dog, “Dear God” Dear God, God I don’t understand you put me here with unconditional love, I thought the most intelligent of your creatures, the humans, would be the same way. It all started [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 14th, 2010 |
Comments (26) Yesterday I received a video about Forrest City, Arkansas Animal Shelter and we’ve all heard some horrors about some of the shelters out there; descriptions, pictures, videos, and it makes up angry, pisses us off, hurts us but I want to warn you, if you watch this video which I’ve posted below, it is [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 13th, 2010 |
Comments (30) This wonderful Rescue Tale is from our own Susie – Sue Horn. I was lucky to be able to live this through from start to finish with her if only vicariously through emails. I shared the joys and tears and frustrations. A story like this takes you from the beginning to the end rather smoothly [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 12th, 2010 |
Comments (22) In June, in Vineland, NJ, this sweet girl was dragged behind a pickup truck, her injuries traumatic. This picture doesn’t hardly give you any idea. But now it’s been months and sweet Reese has recovered and shown herself to be a beautiful, sweet and loving girl. Amazingly, although there was interest at the time, [...] By Andrea, on January 11th, 2010 |
Comments (23) One of the most unconscionable acts is to deliberately set fire to an animal shelter. On December 20, around 4 PM, fire was discovered at the Southern Pines Animal Shelter of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The fire was contained quickly but not before the adoption office and two others were completely gutted. Four cats perished in the [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 10th, 2010 |
Comments (13) So often I hear from people, “I’m just one person, I can’t do anything,” and I wonder if people really know just how strong and powerful “just one person” can be. This story isn’t only about “just one dog,” it’s also about “just one person” because that’s all it took to get the ball rolling [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 5th, 2010 |
Comments (13) No, it was not vanity that prompted the RSPCA to get the near $1000 cosmetic surgery for the abandoned Shar Pei, Roland. Without the facelift and double eyelift Roland faced a life of pain and possible blindness from entropion, a condition where the eyelashes rub against the eyes and cause constant pain and can cause [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 2nd, 2010 |
Comments (15) In the end of October when the Memphis Animal Shelter was raided and evidence of starved dogs came to light along with numerous other problems, Mayor Wharton promised changes, improvements and now, more than two months later there are still massive problems including the killing of dogs that were in the process of being adopted [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 1st, 2010 |
