24 Hours to Save Casper from Death



Casper is no ghost. He is a cuddly white- and-black, 8-month young pit bull pup in Orlando, Florida. Though a Fantasy Football Favorite, Casper faces possible death on Monday October 29, unless adopted by someone.

The Facebook post about Casper tells that he has been at the Orange County Animal Services, FL, since Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Friendly and heartworm tested (negative), his animal ID at the shelter is A248503. He is scheduled to be euthanized on Monday and thus needs immediate rescue by someone who can foster or directly adopt him. He is Fantasy Football Favorite!

An unaltered male, brown brindle and white Pit Bull Terrier, named Smokey is on the Red List now at the shelter where he has been kept, awaiting adoption. If not pulled urgently by a rescue or anyone who adopts him, Smokey may be put to sleep.

Australia Should Stop the Cruel Practice of Live Animal Export



Australia has been shipping live animals to other countries where they are brutally killed or slaughtered. A petition has been started online to urge the Australian parliament to stop exporting animals. The petition reads:

A recently released video shows a brutal cull of 10,000 sheep sent to Pakistan from Australia, with some of the animals being stabbed or buried alive. Though the shipment of 21,000 sheep had passed earlier health checks, authorities later found they were infected with salmonella and anthrax.

And as the petition notes, Australia also exported several thousand baby cows to Egypt where they were stranded for weeks at a port before were finally slaughtered.
To stop such cruelty for corporate interests, the petition seeks a ban on live export of animals from Australia.

Will ‘Journey’ End Today?



An American Staffordshire named Journey, just one year old, is the favorite dog of volunteers at a shelter in California, but today is his last chance at life.

Following comes from a post on examiner.com:

Journey is a favorite with the volunteers at the North Central Los Angeles animal care facility. Those people who have had the pleasure of meeting this young dog describe him as "gentle, like a kitten."
Despite the chaos of the shelter environment, Journey maintains an even keel, wearing a big smile on his handsome face and a happily wagging his tail.
Journey is non-reactive around the other dogs at the facility and he walks well on a leash.
The volunteers who love Journey feel helpless and are reaching out for assistance. They have created a short video of this young dog, with the hopes that someone else will fall in love with him as much as they have.

Click here to view.

According to the volunteers, Journey has until 3:00 p.m. (PST) to be tagged for rescue or adoption.
Information:
•      A1340860
•      Approximate age 1 year
•      Approximate weight, 64 pounds

Handsome and Friendly Dog in NYC Needs Immediate Rescue

While he looks handsome as a film star in his tuxedo, Brooklyn finds himself on “the list” tonight. Black dogs are typically slower to get adopted than dogs of other colors. And Brooklyn faces death for lack of space unless pulled urgently from the New York pound where he is caged.  

A volunteer writes in Brooklyn’s voice:

Hi - I'm Brooklyn! How dashing am I in my tuxedo coat and bow tie? I had a date with a volunteer so wanted to look my best! I was surrendered by my owner who is moving somewhere where I wasn't welcome. I lived with other dogs and like to play. I'm house trained, crate trained, friendly to everyone, like children and know “sit” and “stay”. My former family took good care of me, my weight is perfect, my coat gleams, and I was trained to walk well on the leash. I'm pretty much a rock star if I do say so myself. I'm hoping you will ask to meet me when you visit, as I would really like to find a new family to take care of.

Very friendly toward all, Brooklyn is an awesome boy with wonderful soft energy who is looking for a new home. He is neutered and ready to put his head in your lap for some snuggles.

Formal behavior evaluation tells that Brooklyn was calm and relaxed during handling and when playing tag with assessor. He did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily
pushed out of the food bowl, but was not interested in toys or rawhide. Brooklyn was stiff when approaching other dog, but showed no aggression.

Brooklyn is available for direct adoption at the Manhattan Animal Care & Control in NYC (326 E 110th Street, New York, NY 10029) (shelter website: http://www.nycacc.org/).

For information on HOW TO ADOPT please view: http://on.fb.me/Q4x1VS.

If you would like to foster this dog, or would like to adopt but cannot make it to the shelter directly, please contact rescue groups for assistance: http://www.bruisednotbroken.com/rescues.pdf. Contact as many rescue groups as you can until you (hopefully) find one that is willing to send you an application and, pending approval, "pull" this dog for you.
