AKC Humane funds donated to help animal organizations with disaster relief efforts
In support of the people and pets affected by the recent natural disasters around the country, the AKC Humane Fund has donated $40,000, through its “Sandy Fund,” to four separate animal organizations. The donations of $10,000 each were made to The Sato Project, The Houston SPCA, Napa Humane, Sonoma Humane Society.
The AKC Humane Fund’s “Sandy Fund” allows AKC clubs and affiliated organizations to provide assistance for pets and their owners in their own communities during a time of disaster and in the aftermath.
“The recent natural disasters have left several animal organizations with significant needs to keep pets housed and safe,” said Doug Ljungren, President of the AKC Humane Fund. “These four organizations have been working diligently to protect the welfare of pets during these disasters. We at the AKC Humane Fund, will continue to do everything we can to support relief efforts in the aftermath of these events.”

Hurry! Voting Closes at 3 pm on May 3rd!
Sorry for the short notice, but I just received this from our friends at Pets for Patriots.
They are asking that we vote for Jameson as an Emerging Hero in the 2017 American Humane Hero Dog Awards. Voting ends today at 3pm Eastern!
Despite the cruelty inflicted upon him as a young pup Jameson has triumphed. Adopted by one of the responding police officers the night he was brutalized, he now teaches children to be kind to animals and collects donated items for various animal welfare organizations.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Toy Poodles Rescued from Hoarder
Yesterday HART was able to help FIFTEEN more toy poodles out of the hoarding situation they’ve been trying to alleviate throughout the past several months. Most of the dogs are very timid and unsure of their surroundings right now, and will take some time to warm up to people.
The dogs are still adjusting to the incredible turn their lives have taken. They’re at the vet’s office receiving their vaccines, being fixed, and groomed (most had terrible mats that needed shaved).
HART is planning on having the ones who aren’t as timid at their ADOPTION EVENT this Saturday at the South Lebanon Petsmart from 12-3pm. If you’re interested in one of these little guys, you can fill out an online adoption application.
Kudos to Homeless Animal Rescue Team of Cincinnati for taking in these poor dogs.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
