Pooch’s Pups Spared From Shelter Life (VIDEO)

April 30, 2013

(SHELTER PETS) Mimi, an unspayed Maltese, was brought to an animal shelter after her caretakers found out she was pregnant. Unfortunately, pregnant dogs who are given up to shelters have very grim prospects. Puppies are oftentimes aborted so they are spared from living a tough shelter life. What’s more, pups who do make it into the world stand a greater chance of death from freezing or exposure to various diseases. Thankfully, Mimi’s shelter worked with a local rescue group and found herself a great foster home where she safely gave birth to a litter of six puppies. Mimi was very lucky, but most stories like hers end in unnecessary and preventable tragedy. This is why spaying a neutering should be a must for all responsible pet guardians.  Read on to see what’s in store for Mimi’s future. — Global Animal

During one weekend in Philadelphia, PFL was able to administer 391 vaccinations and 212 spay-and-neuter vouchers with the money collected from used car donations.

Help End Pet Sales In Malls

May 30, 2012

(PUPPY MILL/PET STORE) Last year, the Macerich mall company went “cruelty-free,” passing a ban on leasing and renewing leases to stores that sell non-rescue pets. Activist Jennifer Peterson worked to get them to do it and is now trying to get the mall company Westfield to do the same. Most pet stores that sell non-rescue dogs, cats and bunnies get them from mills, where pets are mass-produced to maximize profit. Can getting malls to ban pet-sellers help alleviate the problem of pet overpopulation? — Global Animal
