 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 (11) Good news for Puppy Mill opponents. In Pennsylvania, instead of breeding dogs, they’re “milking cows.” In an article appearing in the Lancaster Online, Edwin Zeiset, a kennel owner licensed to breed up to 500 dogs a year said he had no choice but to shut down. Pennsylvania’s new regulations are biting hard at dog breeders. [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 17th, 2009 |
Comments (41) This sweet little pitbull girl was found curled in a ball, covered in scars and open wounds, whimpering and shivering beside a wooded area next to Smithfield Road near Turtle Park Parkway.

Comments (4) At the Edison Academy in Fairfax County, students get much more than the three “R”s; reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmatic, they get hands on training to go out in the real world and for students enrolled in the two-year Animal Sciences program also get to help foster and shelter dogs get ready to find new homes. One [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 16th, 2009 |
Comments (11) As you gather this holiday season to spend time with friends and family and your own beloved furry family members, take just a moment to think of those dogs and cats who sit alone and unwanted, with just the barest of necessities. Gather up some old blankets and towels, maybe grab an extra bag of treats [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 12th, 2009 |
Comments (10) Here’s some updates on a few cases that I’ve previously covered; we’ve got a small measure of justice, some potential justice and what will probably amount to a slap on the wrist but at least justice in a guilty verdict.

Comments (22) Just unbelievable! Yet another good Samaritan being charged after helping a dog. This time it’s Troy A. Jackson, 36, who has headed the Boise-based animal rescue group Northwest Animal Companion for more than a decade. A few weeks ago he got involved after another animal advocate from Upper Valley Humane Society was charged with trespassing [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 10th, 2009 |
Comments (5) A wiggly pup waits beneath a Christmas tree. A teeny kitten brightens the Hanukkah festival. Nothing stirs the warm fuzzies more than a furry addition to the family. In fact, marketers urge shoppers to wrap Fido or Fluffy in red ribbons, for the perfect holiday present. But when the bows come off, an animal stumbles into [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 9th, 2009 |
Comments (37) Wow, doesn’t this just ring a bell? Looks like another good Samaritan is getting punished for trying to help a dog that was abused and neglected by its legal owners after the law and animal services couldn’t or didn’t help!
