A New Way to Adopt pets in Shelters

Last Night (3/28/2012) I Saw a TV commercial for a Shelters Animals.
I thought it was going to be the usual sad stories, but I was wrong.
A New non-profit co. called The Shelter Pet Project has put up a website for
people to do a search for cats and dogs that are in their local shelters!
I thought this was a great Idea, so decided to post the info.
If you want to check out the website its http://theshelterpetproject.org/
Hopefully this will help people adopt pets in shelters rather than pet shops!!!
The more people adopt from shelters instead of pet shops the less puppy mills there would be!

Sniffer dog has an unusual sniffing job

If working dogs worried about the status of their jobs like humans do, Tucker the sniffer dog might lie to the other dogs about what he does.
Tucker doesn’t sniff out cool stuff like money, drugs, fugitives, missing children, harmful insects or invasive plants. Tucker sniffs out whale poop.
In fact Tucker is the most important member of the crew searching for whale poop because he is the one they depend on to find it up to a mile away.
Killer whales in Puget Sound were placed on the endangered species list in 2005 and they are not recovering. A team of researchers is trying to find out why by studying their poop or what they consider “scientific gold.”
According to Sam Wasser, the director of the Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington, scientists have developed techniques to analyze feces from all over the world. He calls it scientific gold.

"We can measure the diet of the animal. We can get toxins from the feces, DNA so we can tell the individual's identity, its species, its sex — and all of this is in feces," he says. "So it's literally a treasure trove of information."

But finding whale poop isn’t easy and so the team added Tucker.

Tucker is an 8-year-old black Lab mix. He's what those in the dog world call "ball-obsessed." He'll do anything for a game of fetch — even if that means sniffing out floating whale scat from a mile away — because he knows that when he finds the scat, he gets to play with his ball.

As the boat zeros in on a pod of whales, Tucker is relaxed. But when he gets a whiff of “scientific gold,” he gets very excited and the crew attempts to locate it floating on the surface.
Tucker is referred to as their “scat-detection dog” which is actually a pretty important sounding job title.

Support a Bill to Help Chained Dogs in Massachusetts

I have posted several articles before on dogs that were chained up and neglected by their owners.
I am happy to see that Massachusetts is actually doing something about it.
I know the article states that it will be illeagal to chain up a dog for more than 8 hours and I feel that is MUCH Long for ANY animal, but at least its a start. the new Law can be changed later on.

The Call of the Wild: Is It Better for Dogs to Live Inside or Roam?

I have 2 Stories for you today!!!
The first one is VERY INTERESTING!!
Its about weather or not dogs should be let to raom wild or live inside with us.
The bottom line is that Dogs chose to be with us...:-)

The 2nd story is about vets and clinics seem to be over vaccinating our furry friends.
We keep accurate records, so we know when its time.
Other people may not be so lucky and actually hurting their pets.
We have to be very careful since alot of vets are more into making money rather than helping our furry family members.
