Please go here, please read, please take part...please help us get justice for Mooie...she deserves it.

Warning: THERE ARE GRAPHIC PHOTOS.

I hope she was able to feel some kind of comfort and love in her final hours.....
I really, really hope so.
I can't imagine the torture and the fear and the pain she must have felt...
I really hope she knew..just for ONE fucking moment how GOOD people can be...and how much they can LOVE.

If you are an animal lover - PLEASE spread the word...

I know the townhall meeting was today - but please continue to fight, please let people know that the LACK of action towards animal cruelty and TORTURE like this is NOT tolerated.

Don't let Mooie's pain be forgotten.
If you have a dog, like I do - look at them and think - what if it was YOUR dog?

Wouldn't YOU want justice?

If you can't help directly, cross post! Get it around to someone who can!



Secret is a biiiig mix, she has Akita, lab, boxer and pit bull in her..but she looks like a cuddly teddy.

If you want more info on her..click below :)

This little baby's brothers and sisters have all been adopted, and she's been left behind....can you give her a forever home???

I've never given any attention to Winter-een-mas before, and I feel like such a poser, claiming to be a gaming fan :x

So happy Winter-een-mas all you gamers! I'm going to celebrate by giving love to "old is new". Older games that have been remade recently.I have a couple of days to make up for, so let's get started.

Good idea, bad idea? I say "good idea", given the developer is capable. It bugs me that this is a bit of an offshoot of the "sequel factory" problem that gaming has right now, where developers and publishers are going with the recognizable names and the safe bets, rather than take chances on a new IP. I do think it's a better alternative than the sequel, though. Because the long-haul gaming geek who cut his teeth on the Commodore Vic-20 and Colecovision, and thought that Super Mario Bros. would be the pinnacle of graphical achievement would kill to see his old favourites rehashed using today's technology. I think I'll cap it off with some old time favourites that haven't seen new life, but should.

Crossposting for riot_grrl, who had posted about Princess originally back in July - and she still hasn't found a forever home!
PLEASE repost!

Updated post found: here in hounds_of_hell!!

Posted on behalf of her foster mom: goodriddance070

Princess has been in foster care for almost three months now to ensure her stability as a companion and let me say she is an awesome representation of what a pit bull should be. She has been living in a home with an older male lab that she is in love with and two cats that she would rather live without. Princess is OUTSTANDING with people, 100% potty trained, quiet in a crate, enjoys going for car rides, walks good on a leash, and loves to sit in your lap to give you kisses. Princess is good with children but is easily excited so would do best in a home with kids over the age of 8. 120$, through Multnomah County Animal Services, includes Spay, microchip, licensing for a year, first set of shots, rabies shot, and a health exam to a vet of your choice. If you have any more questions about this sweet girl please call Jen at 503-663-7063 or email her at goodriddance070@hotmail.com

NO OVERSEAS ADOPTIONS!!

Jake is a 10 year old Yorkie who is very affectionate and loves attention! He is still very active!! He was brought to the shelter after his owners passed away...he is up to date on shots, neutered, teeth cleaned and healthy as can be for a senior baby. Extensive bloodwork has been done and everything is normal. Jake does have cataracts, but that is normal for a senior baby. If you are interested in adopting Jake - please click the link for information on how to contact the shelter he's with and go about adopting him.

This dog has been missing since August 2nd.


This is what happened (taken from e-mail received by original poster):

Sunday, July 31st, around 3:30 pm, while driving home from an agility trial in Hutto, one of my Flyball Team mates, Mark Malone was in a dreadful automobile accident. He had his two German Shepherd Dogs with him, Steffi and Sasha. He rolled his SUV and the dogs were ejected. The SUV rolled over Sasha killing her and Steffi ran off. Mark was Care Flighted to Ennis.

His friends are trying to find Steffi for him. Steffi is a long haired, German Shepherd with a black saddle and brown feet female, spayed70 lbs 26" tall at the withers. She is a bit shy of people.

This happened on I-35 just south of Hillsboro near exit 373 or Exit 367 on I-35 Mark was heading north but someone saw a dog running from that exit 367 heading south.

Express permission is given to post this far and wide to any groups or anyone who can help us locate this dog. Anyone in the Waco, Hillsboro, Alvarado, and any other town and city between I-35 and Midlothian (where Mark is from) please please keep looking for Steffi.

So far there has been no sign of Steffi - and the family is devastated as they have now lost both of their dogs in such a short span of time. PLEASE spread the word...

If you have come across a dog that looks like Steffi, or know someone who has found a dog that looks like Steffi, or you have seen a dog that resembles Steffi in a shelter - PLEASE contact the phone number on the flier.

PETEY : STAFF MIX : AGE 8 : SOUTH L.A. SHELTER : ID..171471 : AVAILABLE NOW!


This comes from an employee from LA Animal Services:
Every so often, someone will come into the shelter who you just want to grab by the scruff of the neck, throw them into a cage, and lose the key. Today, I had the misfortune of meeting such a person.

An early 30's woman brought in an older black neutered Staffie, mix and told the shelter staff he belonged to her dad, who died in March last year. Since then, she said, he's been living in the yard, and a neighbor has been feeding him.

But, the loving daughter decided it was time to get rid of her dad's pet, and brought him to the busiest shelter in California, where his chances of being adopted are minimal, given the number of younger, cuter staffs already there.

I asked if she would keep him, and she snapped back, "I'm not keeping him," as though I'd just asked her if she would like to contract the ebola virus for her birthday.

She also turned on the charm with the officer on duty when he asked her to pay the princely sum of $5 charged by the city to turn in an animal. She became angry, and spat out, "it's not my dog." When he pointed out that she had said it was her late father's dog, she turned very nasty.

She eventually coughed up the cost of a measly couple of cups of coffee from starbucks so she didn't have to take the dog home (God forbid!), and stomped out, leaving her dad's elderly dog looking very forlorn in the cage.

His name is Petey, and he seems very sweet. He just laid down in the holding cage, not barking or reacting to other animals who came into the area. He is estimated to be 8 years old.

I took his photo and am sending this in the hope that a rescue group or individual will show him that strangers can often be much kinder than "family."
