PeiPeople Rocks to Save Another Life



So.... I did a video of Lola, the sharpei that was living at the shelter after her pups were taken away from her. She was on the short list to start. Then she had an incident and "bit someone on the face." And, for this, she was set to be killed. I could not let that happen for several reasons, the main one being, dogs don't generally bite people on the face out of aggression, they do it out of stupidity. The stupidity is on the humans side. If someone puts their face near a dogs mouth, and doesn't know the dog, the probably deserve to be bit. DO NOT kiss strange dogs. It is so typical of people humanizing dogs and wanting to kiss them because that is what they think the dog wants. The dog does not want to kiss you no matter how cute you think you might be.

So anyway, Lola gets on the "super short list" and is do to be killed. There was no one who was gonna step up for this little girl. So I knew we had a fight in front of us. Sue and Jody from Pei People are really champs and care about the Pei around here. Bear in mind that these two women are the only Pei rescue between Mexico and Northern California. Most of the time rescuing a dog comes down to money and not will. Well, I bent Sue's ear quite a bit and leaned on Jody to take Lola. They acquiesced after I did the last video as it drew some serious attention to Lola and many of you generous people donated to save her life, especially Patricia.

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

Can human compassion Win over human stupidity?

Meet Walker...



This is a story that needs your help...   Many of you know me and the dogs I save and advocate for.  This is a compelling story.  PLEASE, don't go back and attack the shelter system, as they are making the dog available to rescue, not killing him as others might.  The fault here lies with the civilian who broke the rules and put his hand into a cage and then reported it.   There is no fault to the LA Shelter or the staff, nor the dog....   

read on...

Walker is a super sweet and totally cool dog, sharpie, possibly collie mix, he's young and fun and has a smile that will melt your heart.  He passed my temperament test with flying colors.  I've tested hundreds of dogs with 100% success....   This guy would land in the top percentile....   Walker showed no signs of dominance or aggression at any time.  His story is messed up and he's made to pay the price for human stupidity.  Someone put their hand into his cage and Walker got excited....  somehow in all of this commotion, the guys hand got scraped....  NOT BIT...  Because of this and a risk of liability he's on the short list...  He's got 5 days.

I personally re-enacted the scenario and played VERY rough with Walker through the bars of his kennel, and he did not bite or even mouth me.  In the yard I put him through a thorough behavior assessment and he is fine with handling, corrections, playing, etc.  

He's got 5 days at the West LA shelter...  
11361 Pico Blvd
LA, CA 90064
213-485-0494/5/6

Walker's ID# is A1050027

If you have any questions about Walker, call me, email me - contact me.   Don't let this guy go....

Thanks for reading...  watch his video and you'll see.  He's a total Super Star....

Sweet Judy will Steal Your Heart



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sECVBIO1nhI&feature=channel_page

I visited the NOC shelter here in downtown LA yesterday and saw an all too familiar face. I could not believe that Sweet Judy was still there and now she's on the short list. Her owners dumped her and she has no clue why. Won't you open your heart to Sweet Judy. Adopt or foster her or donate so we can help find her a forever home....

I personally temperament tested her and she is as sweet as can be. She showed no signs of aggression or dominance at any time during my test. She walked by the cages of other dogs that were quite aggressive. She pulls a little on the leash and did NOT want to go back to her cage. She wanted to leave and go HOME. Do you have a HOME you could give her?

Contact me directly if I can help or the shelters info is on the photo and the youtube video...

The clock is ticking and there's lots of love to be had here from SWEET JUDY!

Best,

Robert
