Petition to Save Gwendolyn the Pig, Resident of Prince Georges County Maryland. 
Here she is, this is Gwendolyn "Description: Prince George's County, Maryland has told Pat Brown to get rid of her
20-year-old potbelly pig, Gwendolyn, a death sentence since a pig this old cannot
be moved from her home. The appeal is pending, date unknown, and a PG official has already stated Pat Brown will not win.
Please help fight the PG Pigsecution of Gwendolyn!" This 20 yr old Pot
Bellied Pig has only known one family, and the County rules here in Maryland have now been changed so that they want to have
Gwendolyn removed from her environment. All of the neighbors are fine with her
being there. Please sign this petition so this
can be rewritten, Gwendolyn is grandfathered in and the issue is dropped and
this Animal & her Family can stay together!" Maybe we can get a new law passed
called "Gwendolyn's Law" and it can
be a reassessed, updated ammendment to the County, and State of Maryland and other states that include people dealing with
this issue and other animals that may not be considered "traditional" but at the same time not harmful to society
or others. Pat Brown's Facebook Group: Please Join: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=239206895328 You can comment directly to the county at this customer message form: http://cms.princegeorgescountymd.gov/OnlineForm/Lists/Customer%20Service%20Message%20Form/NewFormcp.aspx also was thinking if you comment to the county, include
this petition link, that way if they read a comment from us, they will also have access to this petition, and see the
support. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Upon clicking submit, I-petition (this petition site) will most likely display a Donation Page,
this is NOT required at all to submit your name for this Save Gwendolyn Petition and is something initiated by Ipetitions
directly.All you have to do is X out of that donation page once you submit your name and email. This petition started
to Save Gwendolyn is FREE and no obligation or donations are required at all. (the petition from this site was started without
the knowledge that a donation page was being generated). 
this petiton was created by a fellow animal lover, I do not know Ms. Brown personally and
have never met her, but turns out she lives in my community and wanted to see if I could help out a little by starting this
Save Gwendolyn free online petition.
Sparkle needs new home after her owner passed away last week. She was in the hospital
just being diagnosed as diabetic when he passed away. She is a special
needs dog at 10 because she needs 2 injections- and a careful diet. My sister and I have been giving the shots- and she does
not react at all. Can you help us save Sparkle? She must,
though, be an only pet (dog). She is a little Diva girl and literally
sat on my Dad's lap and made him happy for 3 years- since he rescued her before. She followed him everywhere, guarded him
intently and was his pride and joy. Please, can you help us save her? We
will pay ALL medical expenses but want her to have the kind of home he would have wanted for her. Dayna Silberman 301-881-1651

This Just In! An
Update from the Field …. Dear Members and Friends, We received this update from our colleagues who were in Missouri this past Saturday,
picking up ‘throwaway’ dogs from puppy mills, dogs who would otherwise be sold at auction or killed. This is the
second transport of our ongoing Pup My Ride program, in which we are getting dogs out of puppy mills and taking them to areas
where they’ll be sure to find a home … their very first! These kinds of miracles would not happen without your generous support. We need your help to make sure the dogs
we’re rescuing get to where they deserve to be! For every $50 we raise, one dog will be lifted out of the misery and will start a new chapter full of adventure and happiness. Your dollars go to help transport unwanted puppy mill dogs to shelters and rescue groups
where they will be spayed or neutered, given medical care and placed in forever homes.
This is just one way Best
Friends is closing the book on puppy mills through our national Puppies Aren't Products campaign. With your help, we can save lives and realize our shared dream of No More Homeless Pets.
To find out up to the minute news on this current rescue, please
visit our site. Every dog deserves love, good care,
and lots of fun. Give a special gift to save dogs living in puppy mills today! From the field on Saturday… “Wanted to send a quick update to let you know how things are going out here
in MO. The short version is, really well! The team is great--we've
got about 15 staff and volunteers here. You should all be very proud of the people you have here in the field. They are all
working hard and doing a great job, like a well-oiled machine. We
have about 40 dogs here now, and are getting 47 more from one woman (who has 1,000 dogs) and then there will be 12 more coming
this evening. Three more stops tomorrow and we're on target for the 150 dogs and puppies expected from the beginning. Many
of the dogs we have now are older and/or special needs. We're seeing the typical issues of bad teeth, bad skin, cloudy eyes…
one little poodle has no lower jaw, and two dogs (a maltese and Cocker) have huge inguinal hernias. We have five puppies that
were returned by the broker for various reasons-- three cockapoo puppies that apparently aren't "poo" enough (they
look like purebred cocker spaniels) and two other “designer” breeds. We're in a lull now as we wait for the 47 to arrive. I think it will be the last lull until we're on the drive!”
Remember, the very latest on these special dogs as well as a video of our latest rescue is on our website. Thank you for all that you do to help vulnerable animals! The
staff and animals of Best Friends Animal Society P.S. Please forward this email to your friends and family to help spread the word about this issue and the work of Best Friends. As more people understand the
link between puppy mills and pet stores, more people are opting for adopting, diminishing business for puppy mills. Commercial
breeders are handing over more dogs than we can transport at one time. That’s why we need your help so we can continue
these transports on a regular basis

PRESENT SITUATION / NOTES: Flooding
drowned 10 kittens and one dog in their cages at Louisville Metro Animal Services shelter 8/4/09. Director Giles Meloche
led an effort to rescue animals and then supervised the transfer of about 250 dogs and 300 cats from the shelter
to temporary housing at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. [NO animals remain at the water-soaked shelter].
"The water came up so fast," Meloche said. "It went from three inches to three feet in about
30 minutes." Capt. Wayne Zelinsky, an officer with Animal Services, said about 20 people worked frantically to
save the animals as the water rose. "By the time we got to the (second) building, the dogs' heads were the
only thing above water," Zelinsky said.
Meloche said kittens who drowned were on the floor and couldn't climb
above rising water, as their mother did. He said he wasn't sure of circumstances surrounding the dog's drowning.
The dog was found dead. Spokeswoman Jackie Gulbe said it is unclear when they can be returned to the shelter.

Thoroughbred
Placement and Rescue, Inc In 2008, we placed a little over 150 horses. The main goal of Thoroughbred Placement and
Rescue, Inc. is to provide racing owners and trainers in the mid-atlantic region, a way to reach people who want show and
riding horses. In this way, we can direct retiring racehorses into the right hands. We assist horsemen in placing their retired
racehorses into good homes so they can enjoy meaningful, productive lives when their racing careers are over. These horses
will avoid ending up in the slaughter pipeline and suffering an unspeakable end.
One thing that sets TPR, Inc.
apart from other placement programs is that it is a vehicle for thoroughbred horsemen to take responsibility for their own
retiring racehorses. What is happening is a cooperative effort on the backstretch by owners and trainers to get their horses
into the best possible hands. Too many times the responsibility falls on people outside the industry, when it should be borne
primarily by us, with their support.

| Dear
Friend of PetSmart Charities®,
Even as you read this issue of PetsAlert, our efforts in North Dakota and Minnesota
continue. Thanks to your generous support, our Emergency Relief Waggin® vehicle remains in the region providing vital
resources to care for companion animals in need.
But the danger is not over. The Associated Press reports that
the Sheyenne River, which feeds into the Red River, is rising. When the Red River crested last month it was just short of
41 feet above normal. The second crest is projected to reach 38 to 39 feet.
This poses a tremendous threat to residents
of the area and their beloved pets. That is why PetSmart Charities has vowed to stay as long as we are needed...and to provide
additional life saving resources should the situation become more serious.
No one knows what the coming days will
bring. But with generous support of our emergency relief efforts, PetSmart Charities will care for the displaced pets of North Dakota and
Minnesota until they can be reunited with their loving families.
And while our rescue efforts go on, we also continue
to address another dire situation… but sadly, one that often doesn’t make headline news.
Homeless
pet overpopulation is one of the reasons why so many homeless pets end up at animal shelters every year — and why millions
of lives are lost to euthanasia.
At PetSmart Charities, we know that the most effective way to prevent this tragic
loss of life is through spay/neuter programs. And over the last two years, we have launched major new spay/neuter initiatives
in areas where pet overpopulation is the greatest.
I hope you will take a moment to read about these initiatives in this issue’s
Focus On – and learn how PetSmart Charities is helping put an end to
unnecessary euthanasia one pet at a time.
Once again, thank you for helping our efforts in North Dakota and Minnesota,
and for supporting ALL of our life saving programs.
Sincerely, Susana M. Della Maddalena Executive Director PetSmart Charities, Inc. | | as of April 21, 2009
 | | | | Thank You for Helping Pets in North Dakota and Minnesota Thanks to your generosity, PetSmart Charities®
was able to provide assistance to pets affected by possible flooding in North Dakota and Minnesota. 
But we still need your support in case the situation changes, and to strengthen

| Spaying and Neutering Saves Lives! Spring is a time of year when potentially
millions of puppies and kittens will be born into pet homelessness – and tragically, many will never have the chance
to be lifelong, loving companions.
This is part of the reason why so many homeless pets end up at animal shelters
across the country every year, and why spay/neuter programs are so critical.
PetSmart Charities® is the leading
funder of animal welfare programs across North America. And our support of spay/neuter programs prevents thousands of unwanted
litters — and saves lives from being tragically lost to euthanasia.
Controlling homeless pet overpopulation
is indeed one of the ways we can save lives. And because of this, PetSmart Charities has launched major spay/neuter initiatives
in areas where homeless pet overpopulation is the greatest, including: - Los Angeles, CA — a landmark effort to build and fund
eight low-cost, high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter clinics in the city and county of Los Angeles, where shelter intake
is second highest in the United States. Learn more about our efforts in Los Angeles by watching a video about
the PetSmart Charities® Spay Los Angeles Initiative.
- Texas — opening or expanding low-cost, high-quality, high-volume
spay/neuter clinics throughout Texas, where euthanasia rates reach 95% in some cities.
- Across North America – in communities
large and small, PetSmart Charities will provide millions of dollars of funding to spay/neuter efforts where they are needed
the most.
PetSmart
Charities is working tirelessly to prevent millions of lives from being tragically lost. With your gift today, we can fight homeless pet overpopulation…and
work toward a day when dogs and cats don’t have to be euthanized because shelters have run out of space. | |

Grants
and funding update The Grey Muzzle Organization improves
the lives of old dogs who have been abandoned or left homeless by helping animal shelters, rescue groups, and sanctuaries
around the country build programs for the special needs of senior dogs. In addition to the stories above, here are
some of the grants and funding awards we have made in the last few months: - Financial support for a seniors-for-seniors adoption
program (helping senior citizens adopt senior dogs) at Muttville in San Francisco.
- Medical costs for a rescue organization in New York City, Posh
Pets, that frequently takes old dogs from animal control.
- Medical costs for an old Bichon Frise, who had been surrendered to a shelter by her family
when it was discovered she had health problems, so that she can live in a small, in-home sanctuary in Maryland, House With
a Heart.
- In Texas, financial
support for two excellent hospice programs run by breed rescues: Golden Retriever Rescue of North Texas and Central Texas
Dachshund Rescue.
- Cots and
beds for the senior dogs at the largest shelter in Washington State, The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, so that
old dogs don't have to sleep on cement floors.
- Funding for Brody, a Golden/Shepherd mix,
so that he can end his life happy and comfortable in a foster home provided by the St. Louis Senior Dog Project,
who rescued Brody from a high-kill animal control facility, only to discover that he has an untreatable cancer. It is Grey
Muzzle's goal to help dogs with even a short time left feel loved one last time.
Grey Muzzle's goal is to raise funds to continue to help these
organizations and expand our assistance to new organizations. To find out how you can help, visit www.greymuzzle.org/howyouhelp. Or, donate now. And of course, another great way to help is to

2008-07-30 just
got off the phone with another sad situation. A homeless man and his dog were living in a car until a week ago when
his car broke down and left him totally stranded. The Christiansburg (VA) Baptist Church have been helping him, but
now they are reaching out for additional help. Lee adores his dog, Little Bit, however, the dog is badly in need of
medical care which Lee can't provide. Currently no shelter in the area can be found that accepts dogs, plus Little
Bit needs medical attention. I'm asking you all to please help us help this man
and his dog. Please print the attached flyer and put up in your work place or any other place that allows postings.
All donations designated for Lee and Little Bit will go to them for veterinary care,
food, and housing. Again, thank you all for opening your hearts in this bad
economic time. Sincerely, Carole

Foundation I'm

ALERT FROM KINSHIP CIRCLE SUPPORTER / PLEASE
CROSS-POST: 6/13/08: Katrina/NOLA Rescuer Dead. Her Animals Need Help!
FROM
KINSHIP CIRCLE: We are shocked and dismayed by the untimely death of devoted New Orleans rescuer, Linda Potts.
For the last 15 or more years of her life, Linda trapped, rescued and brought hope to homeless animals. Please help
Linda’s surviving companion animals...and/or forward this to others. Kinship Circle
ALERT FROM / REPLY TO: Charlotte Bass, table25@bellsouth.net Linda Potts, longtime
rescuer and resident of New Orleans' Holy Cross 9th ward neighborhood, was found dead in
her gutted home on June 11, 2008. Linda volunteered for ARNO as a feeder/trapper and assisted
many other New Orleans area rescue organizations with assistance in the field.
Linda,
age 49, lived with her pets in a FEMA trailer next to her gutted home. Her death was officially
classified as death from 'natural causes' as police report that there was no evidence
of foul play. There seems to be conflicting opinions from neighbors -- as well as suspect evidence
found at the death scene -- but the important thing right now is to get Linda's pets rescued and into foster or permanent homes.
LINDA’S LEFT-BEHIND BABIES... CAN YOU FOSTER OR ADOPT? Currently
five animals are being held at the LA/SPCA and have been transferred in name to ARNO's foster/adoption
program. We thank the LA/SPCA for allowing these pets to be housed for one week at their facilities.
It is paramount we move these pets to foster homes quickly, as LA/SPCA and ARNO have
zero space at their respective shelters.
1. Blackie
Large...a handsome black lab who
is just waiting for his next command... a good, good dog.
2. Lucky
Small...a precious white terrier mix,
who reportedly is on daily heart meds. Scared, shaking a little, but sweet... just doesn't know what is happening.
3. Dixie or Trixie (uncertain about name) Medium...a beautiful cream/red color, not sure of her name yet, a
sweet, but scared girl who obviously misses her Mom. Possibly a collie mix?
4. Tuffy Large...will
be the toughest to place... This old man is blind (no eyes), and almost deaf. He is just an old, handsome pit mix. He
was protective of Linda while living in the FEMA trailer, but seems to be quite gentlemanly at the shelter with
strangers handling him. I am not sure Tuffy gets along well with other dogs, as Linda never left him alone with the
others.
5. The only cat...
...Though there was a black one whom the police saw run away... This guy is not exactly happy,
but we all know how cats can be... He looks nice and healthy, too. I will try to find out his name.
TO FOSTER OR ADOPT ANY
OF LINDA’S PETS, CONTACT ARNO: Charlotte Bass Lilly, ARNO http://www.animalrescueneworleans.org 504-522-0222 desk
& voice mail 504-289-2777 cell (no voice mail, but text away)
OR
Robin Beaulieu, ARNO Shelter Director 504-913-2328 cell
& voice mail (texting is fine, too)
These pets have been through a traumatic event, had no contact with anyone for
at least two days, then were picked up when the police called it in. Please help if you can...so
Linda can rest in peace...
- When cross-posting INCLUDE PHOTOS so people
can see these sweet peas.
- If you’re fostering and not able, ARNO will
list these pets on PetFinder, and we’ll help any way we can.
- We’re trying to find the vet who has their records, but if they need inoculations or health certificates we’ll gladly do this at no charge
for anyone willing to foster or adopt.
-
We will also neuter the males after we have a foster or permanent home.
- All
medicals at our vets included with accepting a pet into your home.
- No adoption
charge, but an application and vet reference are required.
- Rescue groups:
We’ll need a copy of your adoption application, contract and vet
reference.
for the animals, always, Charlotte Bass Lilly

Justice For An Animal Rescuer Target: Frederick County Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Glenn Williamson Created by: We need your help to stop a miscarriage of Justice! The Assistant Commonwealth's
Attorney in Frederick County, Virginia is attempting to prosecute Alla McGeary (a well-known and well-respected 60 year old
animal rescue volunteer) for trying to save a young Doberman Pinscher named Stella, and to potentially charge Alla under a
FELONY charge. It's a shame animal cruelty cases are not pursued as vigorously. We need your support and your voice now.
In the spring of 2006, Stella,
a young stray female Doberman Pinscher with a front leg deformity (known as lobster claw) was placed by DAR&E (Doberman
Assistance, Rescue & Education) with a veterinarian to foster. This placement proved to be totally unsuitable for her.
AFTER 9 months in this foster home, DAR&E finally removed her from the negligent situation and placed her with Alla McGeary.
Within days of removing Stella from this negligent foster home, the same Board of Directors of DAR&E reversed their decision
and decided to allow this same foster home to ADOPT Stella. Alla McGeary, who was Stella's foster parent, refused
the adoption based on the months-long demonstrated sub-par care, coupled with the negative Home Visit report and numerous
other documented statements made by those involved in the 9 months that Stella was at this foster home.
Alla stood
up for Stella as was her right as the Foster Parent. For this, she has been arrested; her house, car and outbuildings
have been searched and her civil rights have been, and continue to be, violated.
DAR&E (who by their own numerous
admissions may not even be the owner of the dog) obtained an Arrest Warrant by making a sworn statement to a magistrate that
they did own the dog in question.
DAR&E has also been negligent with the care of other dogs placed with them
by shelters.
DAR&E has protected and made excuses when one of their own was charged with animal cruelty and
neglect.
This story is long and we strongly encourage you to go to http://www.mypromisetostella.com/ to read a more in-depth account of what
has been taking place.
There
are many reasons to sign this petition. You can sign because you want to support Alla McGeary in her fight. You
can sign because you love animals. You can sign because you support civil rights and the fair application of those rights.
You can sign because you abhor the justice system being hijacked. You can sign because taxpayer dollars should not be
used to fund a personal vendetta.
