from Dogs Deserve Better

Letter from Tammy Grimes

"At Dogs Deserve Better, we see dogs in horrific situations every day. Sometimes these sad animals are neurotic or aggressive from years at the end of a chain. Sometimes, they are half-starved or have collars embedded in their necks. Sometimes they are dead. So, why go out on a limb for one old dog? Why take a moral stand in this one instance? Why challenge a law, when Dogs Deserve Better has stuck to the letter of the law in almost 1,000 rescues to date? The answer is simple: because it was the right thing to do. Because our laws regarding personal property and animal welfare are contradictory and archaic. Because Michael Vick can't kill his dogs, but the Arnolds can. Because, at the end of the day, I knew I simply couldn't live with myself if I walked away from that dog and left him to suffer there in the mud."

Tigers Aren't Couches

"Tatiana had lived for a time at the Denver Zoo and was shipped to San Francisco because the zoo there wanted to redecorate their facility. These innocent victims suffered because large carnivores simply do not belong in zoos, and neither should sentient and emotional beings be shipped here and there as if they were couches. Tigers and other animals have a point of view on what happens to them and they don't like being treated as if they are inanimate objects. So, it's not surprising that at some point when they regain their freedom they do what's natural to them."

Cold Outside Tips from ASPCA

· Keep your kitties indoors!
· Never let your dog run around off his leash on snow or ice—especially during a snowstorm. Dogs might lose their scent in snow and ice and become lost.
· Wipe off your dog's paws, legs, and stomach when he comes in from the snow or ice. Salt or other chemicals might make your dog sick if he swallows them while licking his paws. What's more, his paw pads are sensitive and might bleed if snow or ice covers them.
· If your pooch has very short hair, think about getting him a warm doggie coat or sweater. Make sure he is protected on top and on his belly.
· Never leave your dog, cat, or any other animal friend alone in a car in very cold weather!
· Some dogs may be sensitive to the cold because they are sick, old, or simply because of the breed (type of dog) they are.
· If your dog spends lots of time outside playing with you, make sure you and your family give him plenty of food and water to keep his fur thick and healthy all through the winter.
· Make sure all of your animal friends have a warm place to sleep that's off the floor and away from places where cold air might get in. They would be happy and cozy in a doggie or kitty bed or cuddled up on a warm blanket.
