Last Friday, an amazing rescue of a dog trapped in the flooded Los Angeles River had people transfixed as it was broadcast live. People watched as firefighters tossed flotation devices which proved useless, watch as the dog attempted to scale the steep side only to slide back down again until finally a firefighter was [...]
 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.

Comments (5) This was Jiffy a little over a year ago in December of 2008. The 11-year-old border collie weighed in at almost 120-lbs, about 70-lbs more than what he should have weighed. He was so obese and in such bad shape that when his owner let him outside, his mobility was so compromised that he could [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 16th, 2010 |
Comments (19) This Rescue Tale is from our own Dru who had her heart stolen by a “wee” baby and wanted to share her “Miss Jane” or Jeanie as she’s now called, with us. Enjoy your smiles for today! Miss Jane, Puppy Mill Survivor Once a month or so I check into our local adoption center site to look [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 15th, 2010 |
Comments (9) You all remember Trooper, the pitbull girl that was found stuffed in a garbage bag, wrapped with duct tape and tossed in a dumpster in Baltimore in August? Well, she’s recovered from her injuries and after some time spent at a special rescue at an undisclosed location where she and other dogfigthing victims have [...] 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 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 Andrea, on December 24th, 2009 |
Comments (15) Here’s a heartwarming story I came across and thought would be special to share. It’s a tale we wish for all shelter dogs 365 days of the year. Not just at Christmas. Merry Christmas, and may all your wishes come true. “Did you hear that?” the old dog shouted. They all ran to the front of their [...] By Andrea, on December 23rd, 2009 |
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. [...] |
