Humane Friends

I just joined, so I don't know if this is okay, but I am doing the Walk 'n Wag for the Humane Society in Silicon Valley, and I need some pledges. I will walk you through how to give if you want:

First, you go to the Walk 'n Wag website:
Walk 'n Wag!

Then, you click on 'Sponsor an Individual'
Next, look up my name, which is Colleen McEachern
After that, click 'make a gift!' and enter however much you want, then payment information blah blah. There is an option of making an anonymous gift, if you don't want your info out in the internet, that is totally fine.

It would mean a lot to me if you sponsored me, I rescued my dog, Chachi from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley!

HELP HELP SOS(save or spots) Need kind people in texas to help transport an 11 week old rescued dal puppy san antonio to dallas or if possible abilene. We may be able to go further than dallas if necessary. I am in maine, but my sister is in abilene and is due to fly home around the middle of september. If anyone... can help or knows of anyone who can help please contact me at jlstadler@yahoo.com, yahoo messanger jlstadler, or here on facebook. I am desperate to get this pup home. Can't afford to pay for your time, but I can reimburse gas and tolls

More people need to be made aware of this petition to try and put some pressure on the government. Many people aren't aware of the tests conducted on animals for their products, and it would surely put a huge number of consumers off, forcing companies to test in other ways.

 Please help our cause. I recently lost my job and the rescue needs some financial help to continue feeding and caring for the animals. We need bales of hay and bags of feed for the goats. Lots of food for the feral cats. Two geriatric indoor kitties need expensive prescription formula food for renal failure. One cat needs dental work as she is not eating. One goat also needs to see a vet. If you can donate, even if it is just a dollar, please click the banner. THANK YOU

An animal shelter burned down during the recent Summit Fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains:

According to the article, of the approximately 120 dogs, cats and birds that owner Chris "Catman" Puett cared for — mostly abandoned pets — he's lost four dogs and 17 cats. Several cats have returned home; some with minor burns. Many animals are still unaccounted for.

If you would like to help Puett and his animal sanctuary, Humanity For Cats is accepting donations for building supplies, food, and other needed items on his behalf. Please visit humanityforcats.com. For donation drop offs call 408-997-9332.

We are located in Enfield, CT which is good for adopting out to someone in either Connecticut OR Massachusetts.

According to the breeder, these two hatched in early 2007. They are banded. These are great birds, they just aren't easily trainable. They are the first pigeons we've had and we intended to keep them as pets. We call them Jasper and Juniper. We read about how docile pigeons are, but despite all our attempts, these two never became docile. After trying for a time, we ended up quitting because handling them seemed to cause them more anxiety than benefit. We don't want them to be unhappy and we don't have the proper knowledge or habitat to allow them to breed. I want them to go to either an experienced breeder or someone who knows better how to keep pigeons as pets (and tame them). These two are quite anxious around people. They've been living on our enclosed back porch for some time, but this obviously isn't ideal. We don't see pets as disposable or anything of the sort, we just want them to be the happiest they can be and we recognise that we seem to be unable to provide the happy home which we hoped we could. It hasn't been an easy decision, so I ask you keep any disparaging remarks you may have to yourself. We are looking for a $40 rehoming fee. Reply here or email enquiries/your details to smartpigeons@gmail.com.

Name: Miley
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown (we believe she is relatively young)
Color: Calico
Hair length: Short
Shots: Unknown
Nuetered/Spayed: No

Area of Adoption (city/state/country): Roselawn, Indiana (we are willing to take her anywhere within a reasonable distance)

Photos of Miley!

Story: Miley was previously a housecat. Unfortunately, after becoming unexpectedly pregnant, she was dumped near my in-laws' neighborhood. Her kittens did not make it through the winter.

I just met Miley on Saturday, July 26th. My in-laws leave food out for her every evening, so when she stopped by to eat upon seeing me she immediately rubbed herself all over my legs and ran her head into my hands to be petted. She purred almost non-stop, so it is safe to say that she is definitely not afraid of humans or human contact. As a former housecat, she is most likely house-trained (although being left to the wild for as long as she has she may need some re-freshing on house ettiquete for a few days or so, cats learn quickly).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Miley is in desperate need of medical attention. She will need to be taken to a vet immediately, and will probably need some type of medication(s). That shouldn't scare anyone off, she's a lovely cat, but just be prepared for the expenses.

Consider, ask around, please! She is a sweet and loving cat and she deserves a second chance! Miley needs a loving and caring home, so if you or anyone you know is interested please contact lovemiley@ymail.com and/or leave a message/comment!

Thanks so much!

Hey humane_friends ,

This may be a long shot, but I thought I'd give it a whirl.  I'm from Toronto Ontario Canada, and I was wondering if anyone here is from Toronto and would like to adopt a cat.  My mom and I would love to, but we already have a cat, and some other problems right now.

He/she is a lovely cat who comes by our doorstep around five times a day.  We feed her at our porch.  She's very sweet, absolutely tame.  She does many rollovers.  I have a feeling that someone abandonned her. :'(

Here's a picture:( pictureCollapse )

(This has been x-posted. Apologies to those in multiple pet-related communities, but I feel this is very relevant for the subject matter of this community.)

I run a blog called A Furry Friend. It's dedicated to highlighting animals in need and to keep people informed on general animals news, stories, events, and advice!! I have helped many everyday people, animal guardians, and animals through my blog.
I invite anyone to please submit any animals, stories, or events they'd like me to feature. You can contact me with information at afurryfriend@gmail.com.
If you know an animal  that is in immediate need of a rescue, adoption, foster, transportation, etc., please contact me as well!


I also have links to several animal rescue/welfare resources I've compiled, including: 

• Rescue transportation services
• Shelter/rescue directories
• General animal welfare/rescue resources
• A guide on how to report and stop internet animal abuse
• A guide on how to help both domestic & wild animals in need
• A guide to prepare your own animal rescue kit

These resources can be found by going to my blog and clicking on any of links under "A Furry Friend Resources" on the left-hand side.

I'm sorry if this has been posted a million times before, but I feel it's important to spread the word. In case anyone's not aware of the Herbal Essences campaign - Herbal Essences force-fed butylparaben to pregnant rats to see if it harmed their developing offspring in a test that killed almost 100 pregnant mothers and their 1,447 babies.

We all love our animals, so please go here - http://www.uncaged-news.org.uk/hep… and sign the petition to stop Herbal Essences testing on animals.
