A Happy Day for Romeo & Juliet



If you've ever wanted to see an expression of true happiness, you only needed to be with me as I secured the safety of Romeo & Juliet, the sharpei pair that have swept the web by storm. Blind Juliet depends on her Romeo for safety, security and love. He is absolutely one of the sweetest creatures God has ever created. They both hopped into the back of my car after leaving the shelter where they sat for over a month. Once in my car they then sat up and looked out the window. Even though little Juliet can not see anything, she stood up and perched herself against the window of my SUV just the same. Eventually Romeo made his way toward me and just licked the back of my arm. Slowly Juliet inched her way forward and began licking. My eyes filled with tears as I finally realized what a miracle these two have been a part of.

Through the help of so many people, starting with The Pasadena Humane Society (thank you Kevin), all of your generous help in spreading the message and Kathy of Merlin's Hope for stepping forward to place these two, these guys have a second chance at life... and not just a second chance, Merlin's Hope and Bound Angels are committed that it will be a second chance at life TWO-gether 4EVER. They will be fostered in a real home, with other dogs, a good diet and lots of love. NEVER another shelter for them.

I brought them to a friend of mine to board them overnight, as they will be getting aboard a jet place on Thursday heading for Merlin's Hope. Kim Haba, the best anesthesia free teeth cleaning tech gave them both a nice cleaning, we bought them two new beds and they're as happy as can be. This will be an exiting journey and we are all a part of it. Giving hope to the hopeless... Through the power of LOVE... its all possible... Look at those faces ...

More updates to come...

Stumped... He's still at the shelter



Over the past 2 months I've featured so many cool dogs and cats on our new Shelter Video Angels program at WWW.BOUNDANGELS.ORG/LAAS and I'm stumped that Luda is still there.. He is the sweetest boy, very up beat and fun, good with people and other dogs. He really needs a home. Won't you help spread the word?! He's at the North Central Shelter and you could not ask for a better bunch of people to deal with, everyone there is friendly and willing to help you out. Tell 'em Bound Angels sent you.

WATCH THE SUPER COOL VIDEO - Click Here...

Luda is about a year old,black lab mix, friendly and fun and during my test with him I could not see anything that was not perfect. They say black dogs have a hard time at the shelter, and I'm seeing that to be true. Lets break that stereotype...

Join the Revolution...

Bonded Pairs - the rescue dilemna



Imagine for a moment that the last 4 years you spent with friend or a family member... then imagine that person is ripped away from you, never to be seen again. You'll never know this pain because as humans we are free to find out friends and family members again, dogs aren't. Now, some may say that I am humanizing dogs, well, I'm not. My reputation as a behaviorist speaks for itself, and I am speaking form experience. There is a big difference separating dogs who got to know each other, however bonded pairs are a big difference.

Roger and Ginger were dumped in the shelter back in May. Our first video (check out www.youtube.com/boundangels) raised enough money so that the pair (mother and son) would not be killed on Mothers Day of this year. PeiPeople stepped up and rescued them with our help. They went into one foster for a short while and then they were dumped. these two have been dumped and pushed around for LONG ENOUGH. Its time to get them a home. Please watch their video by clicking here. Tell everyone you know, they are super sweet and very low maintenance. A perfect bonded pair that will keep each other company, they enjoy walks, they are not hyper, good with people and other dogs... What more could you ask for?

Rescue Roger and Ginger today... I'll throw in a free Bound Angels T-shirt... come on!

Best regards,

Robert

Walker - Walks out of the Shelter..



I got the call from the shelter this afternoon that someone had seen the video on Walker and was interested in him. I got on my bike and headed to the shelter to meet Steve... A really nice guy who has been thinking about a dog for the past year and finally decided to take the plunge after seeing the video. Steve and I chatted and he was more than happy to get Walker into his life. He said he will rename Walker - Joaquin.... Since he lives in East LA :)

There are many people to thank... The great staff at the West LAAS Shelter, Charla, Debbie, Fred, Capt and all the others.. There is Fiona who forwarded the video to Steve and most of all, STEVE for Joining the Revolution... and giving a chance to someone who had no one... I know they'll be best friends.. Walker did develop a bit of Demodex from the stress of the shelter and the isolation he was under. I am filled with joy in knowing that we won a battle for this super sweet guy who was wrongly accused of something and almost was killed for it. I love to win, and I love it when I win a battle for someone who could not fight for themselves.

Giving a voice to animals, fighting for those who can't fight... Join the Revolution...
