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.

We Love Our Pets

Soo.... lets figure this out. Someone drops this little guy at the shelter and basically leaves him to die. I get an email from my good friend Kim, who is an angel to any animal in need. The pleas go around and PeiPeople steps up to take him. Thank GOD! Now lets examine the facts.

This little guy is is covered with mange. Mange is a relatively easily treatable condition in dogs... when it is caught early. Look at this poor dog and tell me when you think it might be early enough. To what level can some selfish human allow a dog to get to before its time to do something. Did they think it was gonna go away? There are plenty of vets and vet clinics that work at reduced rates. There are numbers available at local shelters. I would say farm more of these services are available to animals than middle income Americans. But, the question remains, who would take a dog in this kind of condition to a pound? What is wrong with humans.

The good news in this post is that through the efforts of many HUEY will be saved. Please help PeiPeople by donating. They need to raise about $750 to pull this off, and its not that much money. visit their website, they are good friends of mine and do great work. I support them and hope you will too.

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...

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

Jasmine- A NEW LIFE

Sometimes people ask me why I do what I do, and I ponder. Then I get an email like this one and its pretty clear. The story of Jasmine is a sad one. You can check out her youtube video and you'll learn more, but what really hits home is when you hear the story from the person who adopts. This is the story from Vikki who adopted Jasmine not too long ago.. Thank you Vikki for sharing!

email #1

My name is Vikki from the pei_cafe,Kathy (aka MM) was telling me about all the great work you do trying to save animals.
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all the hard work you do I just adopted a little black Sharpei named Jasmine from Kathy that came from CA...if it weren't for people like you I wouldn't have this sweet little girl....all of my dogs as well as both of my daughters have been throw away dog...rescues.

Kathy told me Jasmines story the more I hear and saw pictures of her the more I know I needed to see if she would allow us to adopt her...we were so thrilled to hear back from Kathy telling how happy she was that we wanted to give her a forever home....knowing how hard it is in this line of work and just how hard and depressing it can get I wanted you to know how much people like you *really* do make a differences in so many lives....thank God for people like you...what a shame there weren't more like you in this world because it sure would make this world a much better place....so thank you for doing what your doing and do keep making a difference in this world by doing what you do.

email #2

Hello Robert,
It's so nice to meet you...I'm so *thankful* you saved this little girl she's a true joy such a sweet pei.

She looks better each week..I've given her a couple of baths to get all the dirty out of her and I think one more should do it...she loves when I brush her which makes her coat shine..its so soft now.

Your so right she really dose have a wonderful personality even after all she's gone through...its so hard for me to think of anyone hurting her much less wanting to put her down...its so hard to understand why or how people can treat them in them so cruel.

Yes Kathy dose a wonderful job with any fur she gets..were so happy that she showed us Jasmine even tho I wasn't looking to adopt another dog just having lost my big rescue chow Riley to cancer but hearing her story and knowing how much she reminded me of Riley's personality I just knew she needed us as much as my husband and I needed her.

Again I'm so happy you take the time to help as many of these second hand dogs get another chance at having a wonderful forever home...thank you for doing with out you and Kathy we wouldn't have this beautiful little pei girl.
Yes it would be very nice to stay in touch.

A couple of pictures to remind you what you do is so worth the huge effort,time and disappointments of not being able to save all you hope to be able to save..you did this one and she's a happy little girl now..
Vikki
