Welcome Mabel Anne
I thought some of ypou may wish to enjoy our newest 4foot member.
http://www.beaglestotherescue.org/mabelanne.cfm We are fostering through Thanksgiving so that another foster parent can shift her pups to go visit family. We can't handle her fosters due to either being anti-cat or too close on the heartworm treatment and untested with cats (too much excitement for them at this delicate treatment stage) so we worked it out to take in Mabel Anne. If she works well with the existing set, she has her forever home. If not though, it makes room to shift some others. She's no where near as well fleshed as the picture shows as she's just post treatment for heartworm so has lost much weight. She's not as skeletal though as Cash was and she's overall done well on the health score. She's curled up on a memory foam doggie mattress sized just right for her sleeping off about 1/3 cup duck broth with bits of duck 'nooner meal'. |

... I thought some of ypou may wish to enjoy our newest 4foot member. http://www.beaglestotherescue.org/mabelanne.cfm She looks to be a very nice dog. I'm also quite impressed by the depth of details in this rescue's page devoted to her. It would be good if that could be done for other rescues and shelters, but most of them are so overworked and understaffed that just a picture and a brief description is all they have time and energy for. I will be shooting some videos and setting up a web page for a very unique dog rescue that Muttley and I have visited twice. She actually does rehabilitation for difficult dogs and has separate areas for dogs in various stages from feral to fully socialized. And the dogs live in packs in outdoor fenced areas so they can interact normally and run and play. Much healthier than most rescues where dogs are kept in cages and rarely allowed to run or even be walked. But it takes special skills, on par with Cesar Millan, to operate a shelter such as this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YjI1RJ3vfY Paul and Muttley www.muttleydog.com |

Most are so overloaded, they can do no more or they lack the skills at web page updates to do much. Meantime, she's snoozing behind me on her own memory foam bed we got on the way home. It was obvious to us her old hips and weight loss means that would make a major comfort difference and frankly, Sammy barely fits with Cash and the existing one. Please excuse me while I spoil another elderly rescue (at 7 for a beagle, she elderly and she may be as much as 12 which means geriatric levels for the breed). It's early on and because she's much smaller than Cash, she's baby gated for now until she's calm about being here. She got home about 5 hours ago. Yes, she's deaf and we are learning to adapt. |

... Most are so overloaded, they can do no more or they lack the skills at web page updates to do much. That would be a great opportunity for someone to help if they lack the special skills or physical requirements to handle the dogs directly. Usually I think people equate helping with doing physical tasks such as cleaning cages, walking, feeding, or other similar jobs. But even more important in the long run is to get people to adopt dogs, and a nice web site with pictures and especially video showing the dog in action with people and other dogs might be very helpful for promoting adoption. The rescue where I plan to take video and set up a website is about an hour drive from here, but the Baltimore County SPCA shelter is only about 15 minutes up the road, and I know the director personally (although he retired recently). I checked their website and saw only a few pictures of dogs up for adoption, and I'm sure there are many more. http://www.mdspca.org/adoption/how.html So, maybe I can also help them by shooting some video and expanding their website. There is also a private no-kill shelter that is very close, and it's where I took Lucky to be adopted in just 5 days. But they have a pretty good website, although some simple video might help: http://www.adopt-a-pet.org/availableanimals.html There are many ways to help homeless animals. I'm glad that you have been able to take on several dogs with special needs. Good luck with Mabel Anne. Paul&Muttley www.muttleydog.com |

The MD SPCA is in Baltimore City. The director of the MD SPCA has been someone female (2 different women, both close friends of mine), since ~1990. |

Sorry, I am referring to the Baltimore County location of the Maryland SPCA, on Manor Road, as listed on the web page I linked. There is no such thing. The shelter on Manor Rd is Baltimore County Animal Control. Not associated with the MD SPCA. |

And I know that the sign says either SPCA or Humane Society, at least last time was there. And I think I'll stop by there again soon and see if they can use some help. Paul and Muttley |

And, as I said, the sign says either SPCA or Humane Society. I am well aware of the Maryland SPCA on Falls Road, of course, and the Baltimore County Humane Society (www.bmorehumane.com). Plus the BARCS shelter downtown, where Muttley and Lucky were rescued from certain euthanasia. And there is also Defenders of Animal Rights, where I took Lucky to be rehomed when I realized that I could not give her a good forever home. I want to help in any way I can, within my abilities. That might be by taking video and highlighting adoptable dogs in action with other dogs and people. The rescue in Frederick County where I have taken Muttley a couple times for socialization is called CASA. She has a unique setup where packs of dogs may run free in large fenced areas. It takes a lot of skill to rehabilitate and socialize these dogs so that they can be trusted to interact safely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YjI1RJ3vfY.

It takes a lot of skill to rehabilitate and socialize these dogs so that they can be trusted to interact safely. Will someone please explain to me why you would ever want your dog to congregate in a pack? Why would anyone find it important that their pet dog feel comfortable running with a bunch of strange dogs? Around here, one dog running around loose MIGHT not be noticed, but if it's two or more, they are likely to be shot as deer runners. I don't need my dog to be friends with a bunch of dogs. I need him to be friends with ME. And he is. That might be why he stays home. What a concept. |
