These 16 week old pups were found near their mom’s body. She had been hit by a car in a rural area outside of Victorville. Locals reported that the pups sat by her body for days. Cars passed and did nothing. Now these lost pups are shelter bound. They lost their mother. Please don’t let them lose their life in the shelter. To inquire about them email oakhillsrealtor@yahoo.com

Female Doberman, Gloree, looking for a home ASAP or she may be shelter bound. Roughly 2 yrs old, spayed, and vaccinated. Does well with BIG dogs. Would not do well with small animals - including cats and small dogs. Very sweet girl. Please share and contact me for more information: jennispeaksout@gmail.com

He wants another dog. He also wants for people to hear his side of the story by writing a book. He wants to PROFIT from the horrific things he did to these dogs, while trying to claim innocence. SHAME on anyone who supports Vick, or supports anyone that endorses him.

Go ahead and READ this excerpt from the book “The Lost Dogs” and read the horrific deaths Vick made these poor dogs suffer through. Yet he’s still playing football, still being endorsed, and is now trying to profit from what he did. Proof that Vick is a DISGUSTING excuse of a human being, but we still allow him to live the life that he does.

This is what Bernard is doing right this moment.. sleeping with my little girl, not even knowing that he’s sick. We got back Bernard’s biopsy results today, and it isn’t good. We are dealing with a “invasive and destructive” skin cancer, and so the fight to battle it is going to be a big one. 
 The diagnostics and dental care that Bernard has needed in just the two weeks since Shadow’s Fund has had him is already almost $1500.00, and the surgery and further diagnostic he needs is just going to increase that amount by leaps and bounds.  If you can DONATE any amount towards his care, please please do. He is deserving of having a chance to live a full life, and Shadow’s Fund is going to give him that chance. You can donate by going to www.shadowsfund.org

So Michael Vick is writing a book because he has “something to prove.” He also wants to get a dog, “but never another Pit Bull.” Well, here’s what we think of Vick! He should be living the life he deserves - slumming it on the streets like the piece of trash he is. But instead, he is living well off of deep pockets in endorsements and the NFL.

Teddy was rescued from the Shafter shelter last Sunday to save his life. He was scheduled for euthanasia on Monday. We were shocked to learn that the limp in his hind leg was because Teddy had been shot and was still carrying a large bullet that had totally dislocated his hip. He will have surgery next week at UC Davis to remove the bullet and repair his hip. Now we need to find a loving home for this big fella. He is going to need some R&R after his surgery but should recover just fine and be ready to play in no time. Teddy is big sweet heart, great with kids and little dogs. He is guarded around large dogs which may be due to his injury. Contact Shadow’s Fund to learn more or to meet Teddy: info@shadowsfund.org - or go to our website to donate to his care: www.shadowsfund.org

This is Fifi (or Fiona). She is a 4 - 5 year old blue nosed Pittie, who was seized from someone’s house after she was found with her foot stuck in a fence for four days. Yes, for four days her foot was caught in a fence and her owner allowed her to stay that way, until a utility worker saw her and called Animal Services. Fifi was seized along with one other dog, a Lhasa Apso mix who was basically a walking dreadlock. It was obvious neither dog was a priority or given love and attention like they deserved. Fiona was caked in dirt and it’s obvious she has had several litters of puppies.

Fiona was shared on Facebook by Shadow’s Fund as they reached out for a foster to step up. Her story of hanging from a fence by her leg touched so many people, that eventually the local media got involved in their attempt to find her a foster home. As of yesterday Fifi and her little housemate, Micky, were officially signed over to Shadow’s Fund and thanks to so much networking they have a foster eagerly anticipating their arrival and they plan to adopt both dogs.

Micky got the easy end of the deal. After being shaved down he was neutered, and he’s a energetic and happy little dog.

Fiona on the other hand has not done so well. After the swelling of her leg went down it was found that one of her tendons was completely severed, and other tendons were exposed. It’s still questionable if whether or not her leg is even savable because of potential nerve damage. While sweet she has gone through bouts of being depressed and withdrawn, and sometimes needs to coaxing to eat. She wants love and soaks in every bit she gets, but it obvious she is fighting an internal battle.To help her get through her depression both Fifi and Micky are temporarily at my home, so they get constant attention.

If you would like to donate to Fiona’s care, please go to: www.shadowsfund.org

If you’re looking for a new family companion, please rescue!
By adopting a shelter pet you are saving a dog or kitty’s life. By going through a rescue you’re opening a space for them to pull another lost soul out of a shelter to be saved. In either case, you are SAVING a life, and not contributing to the United States pet overpopulation problem.

I have always been proud that whenever we have considered getting another animal my kids have ALWAYS wanted to go to the shelter, never the pet shop.
