 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 (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 12th, 2010 |
Comments (14) 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.

Pennsylvania’s new regulations are biting hard at dog breeders. [...] By Andrea, on December 22nd, 2009 |

In the last 12 months, animal shelters in the city of Los Angeles have taken in 4,700 Chihuahuas, 1,000 more than the 12 months before that. That’s a lot of little dogs.
