A Moment in the Sun for a Dog No One Wanted

By GARY WEITZMAN

Hamlin was a dog nobody wanted. One of a litter of four unplanned and unexpected puppies, he was born in a backyard in West Virginia to a mother of no specific breed. We decided he’s a “mixed hound,” but that’s really anybody’s guess. His owner placed a free-to-good-home ad on Craigslist and, one by one, Hamlin’s siblings drove off to unknown fates. Maybe the homes really were good. But if you work at an animal shelter, as I do, you tend to be pretty cynical about Craigslist homes.

Per Johansson found moose entangled in neighbour’s apple tree, apparently intoxicated with fermented fruit

A stunned Swede discovered a seemingly intoxicated moose entangled in an apple tree.

Per Johansson, 45, who lives in south-western Sweden, says he heard a roar from the garden of his neighbour, who was on holiday, late on Tuesday and went to have a look. There he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely to have been drunk from eating fermented apples.

Hurricane season is upon us once again, and all dog owners should have a disaster plan in place for their pets. I’ve never been through a hurricane with my dog, but I did experience a house fire with her, and it was horrific. I’d never even considered having a plan in place in case of a fire, let alone a hurricane or other natural disaster, but that night I vowed to never be without one again. If you are the victim of a natural disaster or a house fire and don’t have a plan, you may not have a chance to escape without some tragedy.

More than just puppy love: SPCA offers camps for animal lovers

Dora — Wed, 25 May 2011 19:18:04 +0000

If you’d like your child to experience an unforgettable week learning about animals, sign them up for one of the BC SPCA’s summer camps being held throughout B.C.

Kids participate in a range of educational and fun activities, including animal-themed games, skits, crafts, guest speakers and more.

“The highlight for many of the kids who take part in our camps is the time they spend every day interacting with, and learning about, small animals such as cats, rats and other small furry creatures,” says BC SPCA humane education manager Paula Neuman.

“They also spend time with very lovable dogs belonging to SPCA staff members.”

Walkers intervene, pay for dog’s cesarean section

Lisa Beattie exercises each day in Cherryville by hitting the pavement with a friend and her sister-in-law.

The animal lovers have made a few four-legged friends along their route, adapting their routine to bring dog treats and show some attention to three dogs who spend their days chained up outside.

But when the women noticed one of the dogs struggling in labor Monday, they sprang into action – taking the dog to a veterinarian in Shelby where it ultimately had six puppies by cesarean section.
