 Hi,
My name is Journey and my parents are going overseas
where base housing doesn't allow pitbulls.  I'm a spayed female,
3.5 years young, house trained and up-to-date on my shots.

CALL TO ACTION - Please HELP now

ART needs your help supporting House Bill 429 which aims to end forever the euthanasia of animals in shelter based solely upon breed. 

For those who need some background on the reason for HB 429, the following might be helpful: 
 
Since October of 2006 when the Attorney General rendered the opinion that euthanizing a dog in a public shelter based upon breed was illegal, many Virginia shelters which were out of compliance have "cleaned up their act" but a few continue this discriminatory, uninformed and uncivilized practice.
  ART brought suit against Loudoun County Animal Control when that county refused to stop euthanizing pit bulls based upon breed (although they sanitized the practice as the lawsuit progressed and called the euthanasia of a disproportionate number of bully breeds the result of their "temperament testing" which was designed such that the dogs would fail).

We did not win that lawsuit but we haven't given up. 

HB 429, if enacted into law, will compel Loudon and any similarly practicing shelter to end the illegal euthanasia of otherwise healthy, happy and completely adoptable animals and truly change the future for all sheltered animals in Virginia.

Mr. Wiggles Pantry


We are a non-profit pet food bank serving the Hampton Raods Virginia area.

The goal of Mr. Wiggle’s Pantry is to assist pet owners who are dealing with

financial difficulties because of a loss of job or another unexpected financial

crisis. No pet should have to leave their family because of this. We are operating

on the generosity of others to donate pet food which will be re-distributed at

various mobile pantry sites. To qualify for assistance, a person only needs to

show is proof of the financial issue (a recent unemployment check stub, etc.)

and a willingness to volunteer with the pantry for at least 5 hours per month.

Military Foster Care

 Previous military deployments have often been accompanied by increased levels of animals being taken to animal shelters but a call to duty doesn't have to mean giving up your pet. Many soldiers have chosen the option of foster care for their animals. Oftentimes a family member or friend is able to foster for a time, but in the event that no one is available, check out this website for organizations specializing in placing military pets into foster care:

to find her dog Chance a home fast!

shots, GREAT with kids, very friendly, crate

Chance20100107 

 
The only reason she can't keep him is because
she's moving into an apartment that doesn't
allow dogs. 

Contact Erica if you are interested in Chance:  shedevil23eri@yahoo.com

 Foster home for Doggy needed ASAP
 
I will not take this dog to a 'Kill Shelter'.

A co-worker and I have persuaded the owners of a

dog that is out in the bitter cold without shelter

or blankets and tied up on short heavy chain to

give him up. The people have no money, the man is

looking for work, they cannot provide for the

animal, which is no excuse for this, but we feel

really bad for these people and their situation.

I need help in finding a rescue or foster family

immediately.  He is medium/large size, yellow,

mix, very sweet.  

According to the neighbors, the dog has lived

this way for two years, which is totally beyond

my comprehension.

Leave msg if I don't answer, I work for the Coast Guard.

I will call back if you leave a msg. Thanks! 

He needs someone who is home during the day that can work

with him. Please spread the word about fosters. He is a

really sweet dog!

 Saint Bernards - Isabelle and Star 

These two Saint Bernard gals are currently being fostered in Norfolk through
Saint Bernard Rescue. They are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.
They are up to date on their vaccinations and scheduled to be spayed on
December 8th. Star is a smooth coat and Isabelle is a rough coat. They are
housetrained and know some basic commands. Isabelle could use some training,
Star is just a lover. Both are good with kids, Star prefers Isabelle as her only doggie
friend. If you know of anyone who might be interested in adopting these two girls,
please pass this info on. Unfortunately the holidays are a difficult time for rescues
as we are inundated with Saint Bernards and have more waiting to come in that we
cannot accommodate until we move some of what we have. We have several other
Saints varying in age available for adoption. Please take a look at the website, www.saintrescue.org click on “Dogs Available”, then “Virginia” to see
them all. We currently have 3 Saints in boarding in Norfolk that are in desperate
need of foster homes or forever home. There is an adoption fee of $350 which rarely
covers the expenses we put in to the dogs in vetting them. Please help us find homes
for these dogs. I can be reached at (757) 619-3622 if you are interested. Thank you
for considering and Happy holidays!
