Finally, as promised, a video of our gorgeous foster dog, Toni! You have to see the video to see how cute and silly she is but for some quick info, she is a 7 year old pit bull mix from the Austin Animal Center. She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots. She unfortunately is heartworm positive but once she gets a confirmed adopter the shelter will be able to get her treated. She is a wonderful girl and we just love her to pieces. Please watch the video and if you live in the Austin area and are interested in adopting her, please let us know and we’ll get you set up through the Austin Animal Center. Her ID number is A612683. She will also be at the Mutt Match which will be held at the Austin Animal Center next Saturday, December 17th, 2011. Enjoy!

Today I learned about Brooklyn, one of the many greyhounds at the Canidrome Racetrack in Macau who are in real danger. That track doesn’t adopt out any of its dogs, and more than 400 of them are killed there each year. Please check that link and do what you can to help.

Meet Rita

Rita is a beautiful two year old female greyhound. Her racing name was U Betcha Rita, but now she just wants to live the good life in a forever home. Rita is spayed, up-to-date on her shots, and house-trained. Please consider bringing this lovely lady into your life.

I hope I Love Rescue Animals‘ American readers had a fun and safe Thanksgiving! Since it’s Black Friday in the US, here’s a black lab.

Meet Stoli

Stoli is a fun-loving 2 year old Labrador retriever. He already walks well on leash and knows some basics commands, but is so clever he’s eager to learn more. He loves snuggling, car rides, water, chewing on bones, and playing ball. Stoli is pretty mellow for a young lab but still has lots of energy and love to give!

Stoli is neutered, up-to-date on shots, and house-trained. He has a seizure disorder that requires daily meds, but don’t let that deter you from bringing this sweet boy into your home.

I still don’t have access to my desktop and my laptop (particularly the touch screen and pen) has been acting funny, so I apologize for the simplicity of this week’s sketch.

Meet Vincent, Marellus, and Mia

These three little kittens were scheduled to be euthanized at animal control in New York City because they had upper respiratory infections, but were rescued by Manhattan Cat Specialists. The three of them are a little shy at first, but are very sweet and warm up quickly. Apparently they even purr when getting their nails trimmed! Can you give one of these babies a home?

In honor of Ace, this week’s Shelter Sketch is a pit bull mix in the Detroit area.

Meet Logan

Logan was brought to the shelter because he was too friendly and happy to meet new people to be a guard dog, so his people didn’t want him anymore. He is a two year old male pit bull mix who loves people and other dogs, and wants to be your best friend. Logan is up to date on all his vaccinations and house-trained. Can you give this sweet boy a forever home?
