PET OF THE MONTH:  SOLDIER  Purebred 5 lb Yorkie boy Soldier is a rescue from shelter as puppy with hair cut, so adorable. This Chrismtas I am 1 yr old and so playful, loving, and listen and follow you.  Please give me a forever home.  5lbs now.  Soldier is all Yorki, all puppy, loving playful, and working on his housetraining, but is doing well, putting on weight as he was way too skinny, and he is so adorable and teacup too.  He is not much of a barker, prefers to play, rub against the other dogs, you, roll on his back. Adorable. He is tiny at 5 lbs. and so smart and adorable.  Young little ones like this are hard to come by. Come see my new video with my girlfriend at http://youtu.be/hX3kH9aZMdM I got a new Chrismtas coat.  Too Cute!!!

"Dear Save a Dog and Kids Inc.,

 We at DogBreedsInfo.org are pleased to present you with a Dog Rescue Award for excellence in providing underprivileged dogs a much valued resource. We take pride in acknowledging the best organizations around the country with our special award emblem, recognizing them for their outstanding work Save a Dog and Kids certainly qualifies as one of them.

 Thank you for all the work you and your organization provides for dogs in need. We wish you the best in continuing your highly valued service."

Would you sponsor just one new young rescue:   We need $120 each for Deworming, Shots 2 sets, Microchip, Spay/Neuter of kitten, puppy we just rescued.  We have spent over $1,780 plus in vetting and no donations have come in for over a year. Cali needed Dental and meds for $155, she is so sweet and never complained.   And with our little 3 legged Precious that just had liver failure, we encurred another $330.  And 08/03/11 6 cats, and 2 dogs needed complete shots boosters for another $240, and we dont have $200 for Dentals 2 of them need.  Another $200 for Shaggy and $130 still needed. We hope these little angels will get generous donations to reimburse costs of helping people, shelters and these thrown away and neglected dogs and cats. I found a great program starting in Utah www.caninewithacause.com that helps disabled people train their future service dog.  $700 for the course.  I hope to take my rescued German Shephard there to help me up, and to pick up things since my spinal chord injury is getting so painful for me to get up from the ground or take deep breaths.

DONATE PLEASE.   We have run out of funds after all the vet bills for all these rescued pets and have no more money to care for THEM:

 THAT.

Yes 7 members of the ProvoUTFreecycle@yahoogroups.com with over 9,000 members group have asked us to take in unwanted dogs and cats, and we have paid 1,000s in vet needs like Spay.Neuter/shots/microchip/ feline tests/ medical needs out of our own pocket. WE are a nonprofit volunteer organization of 13 yrs and have placed over 1,000 homeless cats and dogs.  We need supplies, blankets, volunteers, and other donations.   Why we need to eliminate the inhumane, ineffective, stressful Ethanasia Gas Chambers. Shelters quote a very old VMA report that now American Humane, Humane Society, SL County Shelter, and even Uintah County shelter have stopped using and have more current reports of Humane, less costly injections while held by kind workers is best..

He luckily is so young that he has not been traumatized but is trusting, loving and ready for an adult home.  He is great with cats, kittens, and other dogs.

DB is 7 now and retired from performing and needs a special home

.

SPECIAL EXPERIENCED SHEEPDOG HOME NEEDED:

 

Gentle Giant  Labradoodle or Bergomasco Sheepdog SHAGGY is young (1 yr), friendly, quiet, crate trained, but needs lots of training as he is big and strong , can be protective  and so sweet.  He is groomed, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.  He is so sweet, cuddly, loving, does all you ask him to do, fetches and brings it to you. What a great dog.

 

 Thank you all  for your enthusiasm and interest in Shaggy. I thought at first he was a Sheepdog, then the Sheepdog rescue in AZ told me if he had a tail, he must be a Bearded Collie.  Now he is relieved of all those thick mattting he had all over his body, with foxtails getting into sores.  But he will be fine and be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and health needs taken care of next week.  WE dont know total costs to be reimbursed yet.  Now that he is shaved with white on chest and under chin, we think he must be a Sheepdog/Bearded Collie mix or  LabraDoodle since he doesn't shed.  Please fill out questionaire below.  Shaggy is doing great! He is a wonderful boy. We can't imagine life without him. He sleeps through the night on his bed with us and knows where to potty. Thank you for helping us find the perfect companion! Here's a few more pics of Shaggy." Unfortunately Shaggy lost his family and needs an experienced very loving home.

Thank you Candy owner of K9  DESIGN for helping relieve Shaggy and bath him of

 awful smell he must have suffered with for over 6 mos we estimate.  He loves to fetch, was so good at groomers.  What a great groomer and filled with REscuers.  Support such generous and compassionate small businesses: call Candy at 801-446-7996 or come by with your pooch at 12652 S. 2700 W. #E in Riverton UT.  We saw pet owners with special needs dogs like epileptic, bad arthritis and others come in for special care by this great place. Candy is so kind and gentle that the dogs are very relaxed.  We hope Candy will want to work together on kids program which is a dream of hers as well.

 

 Now he looks like a ShaggyDoodle.

This 28" piece of matting went accross his back. when we rescued him for the shelter he had been in for 2 weeks.   How horrible in this heat. Thank you Candy for helping him.

"Dear Utah Animal Advocates,

On Friday, February 25, the Utah State House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of House Bill 210, a disturbing and inhumane bill that would allow for the killing of feral animals. It has now moved on to the Utah Senate for consideration.

If passed, HB 210 will allow anyone in the unincorporated (meaning mostly rural) areas within the State of Utah to decide for themselves whether an animal is feral and "humanely" kill said animal(s). Nowhere in the bill is the term "humanely" explicitly defined.

The ASPCA opposes this proposed legislation for several reasons. First, it often is very difficult to determine whether an animal is feral, especially in the case of cats. Second, this measure would provide airtight legal protection to those who kill animals for fun, as long as they can claim that they believed their victims were feral. Third, Utah has been very proactive in working on Trap-Neuter-Return programs for feral cats, allowing these animals to live out their lives without contributing to the cat overpopulation problem. This bill would defeat the efforts of many volunteers who have worked tirelessly to help these feral cats.

What You Can Do
Please help us stop this unreasonable bill from becoming state law. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to look up your Utah state senators phone number and call him/her right away to express your opposition to HB 210.

Thank you, Utah, for speaking up for these under-protected animals! "  ASPCA

 

 

HAVENT WE ALL HEARD IT BREAKS MY HEART to have to give up Smoochie BUT.... 

This really puts things in perspective.  

♥  For all my animal loving friends and rescue buddies!!   

 

For all those people who can't keep their dog because they are getting a divorce, moving to a place that "doesn't allow pets", and are going to "have" to take their pet to a pound because the kids no longer play with it....

 This woman has been through a 9.0 earthquake, a killer tsunami, a nuclear power plant that is emitting radiation, has nowhere to live, is hungry and cold... And she STILL HAS HER DOG!!!

 I thank God everyday for awesome volunteers (That would be YOU!!) who always step up to save the poor dogs that are tossed away by their loser owners or do whatever they can to help someone else save a dog or cat!!

I wish I could find this woman and take her and her little dog into my own home

(and get her on the nightly news!). 

She is a model of what it means to be a committed, loving pet owner

Animal shelter wins $2,000 for customer service

The South Valley Animal Shelter in Spanish Fork received $2,000 for its good customer service from Maddie's Fund, a foundation working with Petfinder.com to improve customer service.

Shelter director Mike Morgan said, "We're thrilled," adding that the money is always welcome.

He plans to use the money for a more aggressive vaccination campaign and veterinarian care for adoptable pets. Morgan said people who want a pet but can't afford the up-front costs will benefit from Maddie's Fund largesse as well. The shelter will be able to offer lower cost or free adoptions to these folks.

"We will try to use the donation for things that directly affect the pets," he said.

The shelter posts photos and descriptions of adoptable pets on Petfinder.com, an online database of homeless pets. Secret shoppers phoned, e-mailed or visited randomly selected animal rescue organizations and chose a weekly winner based on that organization's customer service and response. If the random shopper visited a shelter and had a positive experience, that shelter immediately won $2,000.

That is how it happened at the South Valley shelter, Morgan said. Someone came in, visited the pet areas, took a tour of the shelter and visited with the staff a while. No one thought anything was out of the ordinary as Morgan said people often do this. But at the end of the visit, "They said we'd won $2,000." Morgan wasn't sure it wasn't a joke until he received the letter with the check.

According to the Maddie's Fund website, a representative visited the shelter the week of Sept. 6.

Maddie's Fund developed its customer service reward program in response to a survey of Petfinder.com website visitors who were motivated to adopt a pet rather than buy one. These motivated adopters did not always receive an encouraging welcome. Nearly half the time, shelters didn't reply to potential adopters. After this survey, Maddie's Fund staff placed customer service improvement at the top of their priority list. "The folks at Maddie's Fund pledged $50,000 this year to make it happen," wrote Betsy Saul, co-founder of Petfinder.com.

The shelter, at 582 W. 3000 North, is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. South Utah Valley Animal Shelter posts adoptable pets on Petfinder at www.petfinder.com/shelters/UT53.html.

YEAH SHE IS ADOPTED TO MOST WONDERFUL RETIRED COUPLE FROM LA. PICS COMING. PIPER is a 2 yr female Shorkie, that is a Yorkie/Shih Tzu "Designer dog" and she is the smartest, pp pad trained, fetches, happy and loving little girl.  Doesn't bark much and is a love once she gets to trust you because her  prior owners scared heR. GO TO LATEST ADOPTIONS TO READ UPDATE 11/11/10 

Soldier is all Yorki, all puppy, loving playful, and working on his housetraining, but is doing well, putting on weight as he was way too skinny, and he is so adorable and teacup too.  He is not much of a barker, prefers to play, rub against the other dogs, you, roll on his back. Adorable. He is tiny at 5 lbs. and so smart and adorable.  Young little ones like this are hard to come by.

"Little D" is an adorable, sweet, friendly, housetrained, 2 yr old Portuguese Hound we found out female. She weighs 6 lbs, but needs another pound or two. She is just precious and so sweet and loving, she rolls on her back for you to rub her belly, and kisses you and loves to be carried. The sweetest ANGEL so shy, quiet, and loving.  She is scared of strangers and barks at them till she gets to know they won't hurt her.

"BECAUSE OF ECONOMY AND LOSS OF JOB THIS OWNER NEEDS A HOME FOR THESE TOGETHER. tHESE WERE ADOPTED FROM RESCUE THAT NO LONGER EXISTS AND SHELTER  IN CA:  Here are the pictures and bios you asked for.  Please let me know what I need to do.  Thanks!
 
Twinkie - Chiquawa/Terrier mix.  11 years old.  Sight is a little gone, meaning he won't climb stairs anymore.  A little hard headed, but a big heart.  Loves to have his belly rubbed.  Loves to play bite.  Good with older kids (like over 6).  Loves to walk.  Good at dog park but really doesn't care for his but to be sniffed.  Loves to play with Pilar.  They are great buddies.  I got Twink from the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter when he was 1-1/2 years old. He loves walks.  He drinks a lot of water.  Twink can't jump on beds or couchs any more.
 
Pilar - got her from the Little Dog Rescue from Orange, CA.  I have contacted them to see if I can have them find her another home.  Pilar was sponsered by John Wayne's third wife, Pilar, so they kept the name.  I call her my Hollywood dog.  She is all girl, but can run with the boys.  She is a happy dog, loves to lay in laps.  Plays well with other dogs, most sizes.  She is a love.  I've had her since she was 1-1/2 years as well.  She is about 15 pounds.  She loves walks and car rides.  She is about 8 years old now. She loves to get into bed with you - can still jump up.
 
I have had both dogs on the Banfield Insurance since I've had them.  I am so lucky to have had them.  My current situation is I found out my spouse is gay and has kept that from he as a secret fantasy lifestyle.  We are separating.  I'm moving to my mom's condo where they don't accept dogs and my spouse doesn't care for dogs.  So I'm in a bind.  Ideally, I would love to find a foster family and get my dogs back when I'm back on my feet.  I have a house I rent out in the Liberty Wells area, but I can't afford to live there until I am back on my feet (laid off from the home building industry back in March '09).  Or if there is an awesome family who would love these great dogs, I would be thrilled.
I have attached pictures. 
 
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!"

I hope you were able to view the results of our seventh investigation into the Live Export Industry on the 7.30 ABC Report (if not, click here to watch it online). Tragically, what the ABC aired was merely a glimpse of what my co-investigator and I witnessed in the Middle East during the Festival of Sacrifice last month Australian animals bound with wire, dragged, and shoved into car boots before being brutally killed in the streets.

Some 22 million sheep have been exported to Kuwait over the past 20 years. To visit this country again and witness even more brutal treatment of animals on this occasion was near soul destroying. As an investigator unable to intervene, all I can do is make a commitment to them that their suffering will not be in vain; that we will do everything in our power to ensure that their suffering will heighten calls for live export to end.

Change is desperately needed in the Middle East and this will not occur whilst a country such as Australia sets an example that it is acceptable to send animals halfway around the world only to be slaughtered. The damaging message that Australia's live export industry sets by its mere existence is that animals are nothing more than chattels to be traded and slaughtered for profit.

Australian animals need live export to end, but so do all animals in the Middle East. They need a nation to set an example that will inspire change that will send a clear message to the region that animals and their welfare matters.

Please help us to call upon our government to end the live export trade.

By sending a quick, polite message to our Prime Minister and Agriculture minister, you will show that Australians want this cruel trade to end. I've included their contact details above. Your letter or e-mail need only be very brief. Your help today truly can make a huge difference.

Thank you for helping me to be a voice for these animals,

Dear Animal Advocates,

U.S. Representatives Diane Watson and Elton Gallegly have introduced the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act (H.R. 4733), an ASPCA-supported bill that would require the federal government to purchase animal products only from entities that do not keep animals cruelly confined in gestation crates, veal crates or battery cages.

Factory farms in this country commonly house animals in cruel confinement systems. Veal calves are chained in small crates without enough room to turn around; sows are confined in gestation crates only a few inches wider and longer than the sows themselves; and egg-laying hens are jammed into tiny battery cages with less space, per bird, than the size of a regular 8.5″11″ sheet of paper.

Whether or not it intends to, the federal government supports these cruel practices by spending over $1 billion per year on meat and eggs from animals who are raised in overcrowded cages and cramped crates. (This food is distributed to our military, federal prisons, school lunch programs, and many other government programs and services.)

Since almost all major packers and distributors do business with the federal government, passage of the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act would have a significant impact. It would dramatically improve living conditions for countless farm animals across America, and would put an end to the federal governments economic support of this form of cruelty.

What You Can Do
Your U.S. representative needs to hear that this bill is important to you as a voter. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to email your representative and urge him or her to support the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act.

 I am so sorry for what you are trying to deal with right now with your spinal chord injury.  Please be assured of my continued love and prayers for a quick healing and you back on your feet doing the great work you've always done for others.  You have truly been a wonderful inspiration to all of us...God's blessings on you, my dear friend.

Denise:

"You are the most wonderful caring, understanding loving person I have ever known.
Thank you ssssooo much for giving me hope.  as I love my little babies & would hate to ever have to part with them (but thank you for being the LIttle Dog Angel and finding a great home for my Sophia and now my Lacy)

I must tell you about Lacy the Brussels, she is terrible with people So afraid of them even with me. She doesn't come when called & hides from strangers. She seems to like other dogs better than people.  I was hoping when Sophia was gone she might warm up to me.  I bought her from my daughter who breeds, she was not a good breeder so she let her go.  She has been bred about 4 times & couldn't have them without a doctor to take them.  She is not fixed yet as I have been waiting for the place that does it to come to this town. They were supposed to set up at Cal Ranch a while back but never showed.  I will pay for her to be done plus shots if you will get it done.
She is no trouble at all its just that the three of them come out with me to potty & sometimes she takes off & won't mind me when I call her back.

Thanks again for all your care and concern, not only for me but animals, kids, service men and women and your dad. The list goes on and on, YOU ARE DEFINITELY AN ANGEL,  

Best wishes,
Doris

WASHINGTON ?� ??Sasha? is a dog still shy of a year old but the German shepherd mix was an old pro in a room full of second-graders at Stewart Elementary School in Washington.

I wanted to let everyone know that Hope Ranch will be at the Horse Expo this weekend (Horse Expo info http://www.utahhorsecouncil.com/expo2.htm)  and we have the BEST raffle items EVER! We will be raffling off 2 pair of Jazz tickets, 12th ROW SEATS!!! and 2 painting for a wonderful local artist.  Our goal is to raise $1,000 this weekend to bring a rescued ex-race horse to Hope Ranch. Just stop by to say hello. It would be nice to know we have been heard. I hope to see you there!

Mission statement-Hope Ranch Ministries in Magna, UT (a 501c (3) nonprofit organization). Our mission is to Use Horses to Transform Lives; Imparting Hope, Love, and Purpose to the Hearts of Individuals through a Personal Relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. In the past we have worked with abused children from the Utah County Childrens Justice Center, children involved in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America program, and children with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to work with, train, and ride horses. We also reach out to divorced women struggling with depression, teens from broken homes, and all those people who are going through a dark time in their life. We offer hope to the hopeless, friendship to the lonely and broken hearted, and horses to those that dream of horses but financially will not be able to own their own. Our service opens the door of opportunity to discuss our faith in God and allow the healing to begin. As we rescue horses we use them to rescue people from the depths of despair, drugs, alcohol, and other self destructive behavior through the power of positive influence and the love of God. Our hope is to raise people above the mentality of mediocrity and self-destruction, and become a taker to an attitude of excellence, service and making a difference in the lives of others, the community, the country, and the world. We save and use horses to build and save people, which includes natural horsemanship, grooming, bible camp, and easy trail riding.

Please come read how the Government BLM Bureau of Land Management who is supposed to be protecting our wild horses has been tormenting, inhumanely collecting and killing them to the point of extinction and how one named "Freedom" got away but suffered:

They Named Him FREEDOM

 

 

It lasted only minutes, but his life changed forever. His ordeal was horrific but he had no choice, he was motivated to risk everything in his escape to freedom. Freedoms story needs to be told, so we dont forget what it means to be FREE!

 

Dear IDA Member,

In January, Freedom and his family were among hundreds of Americas wild horses mercilessly chased by helicopters over dangerous terrain toward capture pens, where uncertain futures and sometimes death awaited them.

Most were terrorized - frozen with fear.

But Freedom fought back!

With dramatic determination, he regained his freedom by jumping a 6-foot fence, then breaking through barbed wire, as it painfully tore his flesh, in his successful effort to regain his liberty. The photos below show Freedoms emotional and inspiring escape.

freedom fights back blm horse roundup<http://ida.convio.net/images/content/pagebuilder/15023.jpg>

Today, IDA is fighting for all the wild horses who are threatened by mans inhumanity. And we need your help!

Tens of thousands of Americas wild horses have been rounded up and trapped in internment camp-like corrals. They are threatened like never before by the BLMs accelerating efforts to steal their land and drive them into extinction.

The BLM, doing the dirty work of the cattle industry and corrupt politicians, has removed tens of thousands of wild horses through cruel, unnecessary and illegal roundups - sending thousands of wild horses to their deaths in slaughterhouses, as millions of acres of land that had been reserved for them have been deliberately confiscated by this reckless agency.

As Dances With Wolves author Michael Blake wrote in an op-ed to be distributed by IDA:

 

Since 1971 our horses have been given no protection at all. They have been shot to death, poisoned, rustled for slaughter and captured in the tens of thousands by a government charged with protecting them. The genocide of Americas wild horses has accelerated wildly. Today these iconic animals are approaching extinction.

The BLM claims that the last of our wild horses are being captured to protect them from starvation, lack of water, over-breeding and disruption of cattle ranching. The only wild horses I have seen in starvation are those in captivity. On many occasions I have witnessed wild horses having to travel twenty or thirty miles a day for water because ranchers and the government have denied them water by fencing off access to streams.donate now button <http://ida.convio.net/site/R?i=eT6sZrATffOzYjiX5Sf0zg..>

Simply put, the governments removal of wild horses from public land is based entirely on the production of money. The public land that allegedly belongs to all citizens is being ruled by corporations engaged with the BLM. If the American laws we depend on were fair and equal, the Secretary of the Interior and the BLM squads involved in the roundups and killings would be defending themselves in court.

 

And that is precisely where we are today

In federal court to stop the eradication of our nations wild horses.

 

In addition to the ground-breaking lawsuit IDA filed in December to stop the roundups, we have:

Exposed the secretive plan by the BLM to rush a roundup of 200 horses living in Utahs Confusion Mountains, forcing the BLM to postpone the roundup and initiate a new Environmental Assessment that will allow for full public participation after receiving thousands of outraged emails from IDA supporters.

Successfully pressured the BLM to indefinitely postpone the stampede and capture of almost 500 horses in the Eagle Herd Management Area in Eastern Nevada through threat of additional legal action and letters of opposition from IDA supporters and activists.

Funded video documentation and flyovers to gather evidence of the roundups.

Sent action alerts that have generated over 17,000 emails to the Obama Administration.

Helped organize protests nationwide including San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Albany, New York City, Phoenix, and Reno. These protests and our news releases and action alerts have generated hundreds of media stories.

With your help, here is what we will continue to do to SAVE AMERICAS WILD HORSES:

We will continue our lawsuit to stop the roundups.

We will demand an end to massive, indiscriminate roundups that break up family structures and bonds and destroy long-standing relationships.

We will press for the limitation of livestock grazing on the horses range lands.

We will push for monitoring, counting, and identifying wild horses and their social groups.

We will demand an end to the stockpiling of wild horses in cramped holding facilities.

Please, send IDA the most generous contribution you can <http://ida.convio.net/site/R?i=Q-X5jxQSmUF9SosxDkwX5A..> . This vital campaign has already cost over $25,000 and is certain to cost tens of thousands more. Your gift will be put to immediate use to help protect Americas wild horses and to care for horses rescued from abuse and neglect or who are at risk of going to slaughter.

Freedoms story is real! So are the monster helicopters. So are the older horses, pregnant horses, and little foals who are chased to exhaustion.... 35,000 ROUNDED UP WILD HORSES ARE SCARED, STARVING TO DEATH IN BLM PENS WAITING TO GO TO SLAUGHTER HOUSES THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE CRUEL TO THEM.  WHAT TRAUMA WE PUT THESE POOR ANIMALS THROUGH THAT USED TO BE USED TO BUILD THIS COUNTRY.

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Senator Christensen's deadly wolf-killing bill is quickly moving through the state senate. Although S.B. 36 has been modified, its passage would still be disastrous to wolf recovery in Utah, allowing wolves in the critical Northern Rockies wolf recovery area to be captured and killed

Please write your state legislators today -- even if you have done so already. A vote could come as early as TODAY.

Spread the word: Forward this message to other Utahns who care.



I have what could be some really bad news. Utahs legislative session opened today, and state senator Allen Christensen (R-N. Ogden) is champing at the bit to introduce a bill that would require state officials to destroy or remove all wild wolves that wander into Utah -- even in areas where they are protected as an endangered species.

Christensen summed up the proposed legislation by saying, This bill simply says any wolf within Utah will be captured and killed. We dont want any of them here.

If youre outraged at Senator Christensens statement, please take action now to let your state senator and representative know that Senator Christensen doesnt speak for you and that you support wolves in Utah.

Wolves belong in your state.
While wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act in most of Utah, they have been delisted -- and remain vulnerable -- in the northeastern corner of the state.

Unfortunately, the part of the state where wolves arent protected happens to be where most of the wolf sightings have been reported over the past decade. It's also a vital travel corridor for wolves that are migrating to Utah naturally from Idaho and Wyoming.

We need your help to fight back for wolves.
Join other caring Utahns who are helping protect Utahs fledgling population of wolves by sending a message to your state legislators right now.

If the legislature passes this bill and allows wolves to be killed in this important wildlife corridor, it will be a huge step backwards for wolf recovery in the American West -- and a disaster for anyone who wants to see these magnificent animals return to their rightful home in Utah.

Utah has already committed to protecting wolves within its borders with its wolf management plan, but Senator Christensens bill would take an extreme step and eliminate any hope wolves have to gain a foothold in the state. In fact, he has gone on the record saying he intends to take his proposal as far as he can -- all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if he has to -- to keep wolves out of Utah.

We need your help to stop this dangerous bill before its too late.

Wolves are a rare sight in Utah, but with proper protections, time, and a little luck, these important carnivores can and will make a comeback. You can help write the next chapter of this endangered species success story in Utah by taking action today.

Thanks for all you do for wolves and other wildlife in Utah and beyond.

For the Wild Ones, 

 

 

How much do you really know about what's in your pet food? Like most
pet owners, I used to assume that dog and cat food was safe and
healthy. But then I started researching the issue by interviewing pet
nutrition experts, and I was absolutely shocked to learn the truth
about what ingredients are perfectly legal to use in pet food.

It turns out that your pet food could very easily be causing liver
damage
, diabetes or even cancer in your pet right now.

I want to show you how to protect your pet's health from the
hazardous ingredients found in pet food. I've authored a new guide
called, "The Real Safety Guide to Pet Health." It's available at:
http://www.realsafety.org/PetHealth.html

I'll reveal more about this valuable guide in a minute. But first,
let me explain why having this information could literally save your
pet's life!

If you saw the headlines about the recent Diamond Pet Food scandal,
you know that pet food toxins can be deadly. Nearly 100 dogs died from
eating contaminated dog food before the company recalled 34 million
pounds of poisonous kibble. That story made headlines around the world,
but the real story on pet food remains untold: That common pet food
ingredients -- even those found in expensive, brand-name foods -- may
be harming your pet right now.

Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. Before I began to pursue
nutrition and holistic health, I had a beloved family dog who died
from diabetes complications. Only later did I learn that diabetes and
cancer have skyrocketed in pets over the last ten years. That's
because pet food is now filled with many of the same unhealthy
ingredients that are causing these diseases to reach epidemic
proportions in the human population.

For example, check your pet food right now for "rice" or "white rice.
" This is a cheap filler ingredient that actually promotes blood
sugar disorders
in dogs and cats, just like it does in people. Except
that dogs and cats are even more susceptible to the detrimental
effects of refined white rice because their digestive systems require
far more protein (and fewer carbohydrates) than humans.

So why are pet food companies putting white rice into pet food?
Because it's a cheap filler ingredient, and most pet food companies
are more interested in selling cans of food than protecting your pet's
health.

But I want to help you keep your furry friends healthy, so I'm
sharing my knowledge of holistic animal care in "The Real Safety Guide
to Pet Health." Available at http://www.realsafety.org/PetHealth.html,
the guide reveals valuable information about pet food and pet health
that these companies simply don't want you to know. 

In this guide, you will learn:

* Which common preservative has been linked to spleen, stomach and
liver cancer as well as immune deficiency syndrome.

* How to verify that your dog or cat food meets the Association of
American Feed Control Officials
' nutrition standards.

* Which commercial dog food brands contain the healthiest mix of
ingredients.

* How to determine if your pets' food has the appropriate percentage
of protein, fat, and fiber.

* Which grains are best (or worst!) for pets.

*How to decide if commercially prepared, alternative, or raw pet
foods are best for you and your pet.

* Why you should never feed your dog cooked bones.

* How to prepare raw food for your pet (animals in nature don't cook
their food!).

* Why your dog needs plenty of vegetables, but not high-glycemic
foods.

* How supplements may benefit your dog or cat.

In addition to this important nutritional information, "The Real
Safety Guide to Pet Health" provides tips on exercising pets, seasonal
hazards, common house plants that can poison animals, and cleaning
products that need to be kept away from animals.  The guide also
explains how to prepare an emergency kit to treat your pet if he or
she is accidentally poisoned. You'll even learn how to give your dog
CPR, a technique that can save their life, just like in humans.

If you love your pets, learn how to give them the same level of
nutrition and positive health that you give yourself! Check out The
Real Safety Guide to Pet Health right now.
