Injured Dog in Illinois Needs Dog Rescue

Immediate help is requested for a homeless dog that has been found injured and almost frozen to death in Carthage, Illinois.

According to a short facebook post, the poor sad boy was found stray this morning curled up in someone's barn here. He is skin and bones, suffering from cold, and it looks like his face is torn up. What could this guy have been through to have led him to be in this shape? Now he is at the local animal control and will be euthanized if no helps comes for him. He only has 7 days!

If you work for a dog rescue or know one in your area, you can help.

Worming Tablets Needed for Vulnerable Dogs in Greece

Dogs are being rescued in many different parts of the world by caring people and organizations. In Greece, there is a wonderful organization, essentially a donkey rescue, called Agia Marina Donkey Rescue. In addition to saving senile, vulnerable donkeys, this group also makes efforts to protect other vulnerable animals including homeless dogs. Currently they are in urgent need of dog worming tablets for their rehoming, barrel dogs and homeless street Dogs.

These tablets are very expensive in Greece and the funds available to the animal rescue group are low. They are therefore giving out this call for help to all dog lovers and caring people to donate them worming tablets for helping the vulnerable dogs live a better life. Those ready to help can mail them tablets, as many or as few as they want, at the following address:

Agia Marina, Petrokefali, Mires

Heraklion, Crete, 70400

Greece

For any questions about donations or the organization’s work, please visit their website http://www.agia-marina-donkeyrescue.com/.

Saving Marley from a Deadly Misjudgment

Dog lovers at the moment would love to know why is it that responsible people like judges start ignoring facts and rush things in a crazy direction while a canine’s life is at stake. Look at the latest case of a dog named Marley who’s at the mercy of a municipal court in San Antonio, Texas. A Labrador mix, Marley was one of the three dogs involved in a scene of dog attack that left a 10-year-old girl injured last month. All three dogs were declared dangerous and ordered to be put to death.

After the other two were killed by the authorities, evidence surfaced that Marley was not a dangerous dog; instead, he was a friendly dog and came to the little girl’s defense, as the girl herself and other witnesses admitted. While the earlier ruling was based on the girl’s statement when she was in shock, in the recent ruling by the municipal court, the girl’s new statement was entirely ignored as were testimonies from other witnesses.

The facebook page for Marley seeks justice now; justice that was not served in the recent ruling, maybe because the concerned judge just doesn’t consider canine life important enough. But caring people do. Marley, as per evidence, is innocent and upholding the death sentence against him has been called “ridiculous” by people who know about the case. Let’s ask for real justice then for Marley—that he be released and in fact rewarded for coming to the girl’s defense.

Please sign the online petition to help Marley escape death that is being imposed on him out of a first impression that was wrong, and is wrong.

Thank you!

Weezer, the Smiling Dog, Needs Donations for Immediate Treatment

One of the most compassionate and active animal rights activists, Larisa Scharikin has fallen in need of support from animal lovers, particularly dog lovers as her dear pet dog Weezer has got seriously ill. Weezer, the smiling dog, has been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition called acute pancreatitis. In her latest Facebook post, Larisa told:

Just dropped off Weezer lunch. The X-ray showed a gas pocket. If when they take another X-ray, it has not moved, then they can suspect an obstruction and not what appears to be a gas pocket. Also, her blood work shows that her pancreas is still flooding her body with enzymes. They recommend giving her blood plasma as this is known to ease inflammation. Paws crossed. Praying the Grants also come through!

Currently, under treatment, Weezer needs more tests and medication, and hence more financial support for Larisa is getting strained financially for this sudden attack of a disease that has already brought along a great emotional challenge for the owner—a person who untiringly devotes her time to protecting animals, particularly dogs, against cruelty, neglect, and abuse.

This blog is a public appeal to all caring souls to donate to help Larisa with Weezer’s treatment by donating as much or little as possible. At the moment, Weezer’s medical expenses need around 1500 dollars till the end of the week. Please click on the chipin below to donate to Weezer’s treatment.

On behalf of Larisa Scharikin, thank you all!

Left to Die, Barney Needs a Savior

It is easy for some people to let go of life instead of nurturing it. This is what happened to a dog named Barney who was traveling with his owners en route to Maine. The owners, from Florida, who had adopted him, suddenly decided not to let the dog be part of the family anymore. They turned the dog in to animal control through Dillon SC. And so, Barney faces death now, unless saved by someone who adopts him.

5-year-old Barney is known to be a very loving, positive dog of the Beagle breed. He has two more days to live and if no one steps forward to take him in as a new owner, he will be out down, that is on Wednesday, January 04, 2012. Please write via email to wherehopelives@gmail.com to save Barney.

Thank you!
