Desmond Tutu has been quoted as saying, “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
Downtown Dog Rescue in Los Angeles has done just that, opening a Pet Resource Center in a low income area to address the reasons why the poor surrender their dogs to shelters at such a high rate. Continue reading Low Income Pet Resource Center in Los Angeles

I always like to share Hope for Paws videos because Eldad Hagar is so patient when he captures these strays. (Warning: don’t watch this one with the sound turned up if your dogs are in the room. My dogs were VERY concerned when the mama dog started whining.)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
If you’re following this hashtag on Twitter, you already know the story. If not, you’ll want to watch this video. The LA Times and KTLA are reporting on a small white dog, who we have since found out is named Gordo, was hit by a van being chased by the highway patrol.
The video is not overly gory, but it does show the dog being hit. Gordo was rushed to an emergency vet and is now recovering nicely, although he did lose a leg.
The video is on its way to going viral, as is the hashtag #SaveTheWhiteDog. A donation fund has been set up. If you’d like to contribute, please visit Access Animal Hospitals‘ site.
Doggies.com extends our best wishes to Gordo for a speedy recovery! Feel better soon little guy. Your Daddy misses you!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Another touching street rescue from Eldad Hagar of Hope for Paws, with a little help from Death Row Dogs.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
