WELCOME TO WNY RESCUE GOING TO THE DOGS!

In an earlier story we told you about Adopt-A-Cat’s efforts to open a low cost spay/neuter clinic in the Greenspoint area. According to the National Canine Research Council’s (NCRC) investigation on dog bite statistics, the need for these clinics is not just an issue of controlling the stray pet population—it is a matter of public safety.

We’ve all seen the sensationalistic headlines, each one more gruesome than the last, and all invariably bearing the image of a dog in a Cujo-pose. But the mos… Continue

MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake City Council took no action when asked to reconsider the hazardous dog ordinance. The city council recently adopted an ordinance declaring pit bulls, rottweilers and presa canarios as hazardous dogs. To own a hazardous dog, pet owners must obtain a $250,000 insurance policy for the animal in case it harms someone, it must be spayed… Continue

POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) - Pocatello Mayor Roger Chase wants the state to create a vicious dog registry that tracks animals when their owners move from one jurisdiction to another after a southeastern Idaho animal control officer was attacked and injured by a pitbull with a long history of problems this month.

Chase has asked lawmakers to consider the registry during the 2009 Legislature, which begi… Continue

ALLEN PARK — Pit bulls have been banned from the city for now — at least the bad ones.

After months of heated debate City Council members and pit bull advocates have worked out a compromise.

“It’s still a ban, but it’s better then it was,” said Bob Darden, a member of the Michigan Association for Pure Bred Dogs.

Darden has been a fixture at City Hall since July, when word of the ban first started… Continue

It is my understanding from a concerned dog owner who attended the meeting on December 17, 2008 that New Berlin is "probably" going to follow the lead of West Allis. If you recall, West Allis passed a pit bull ban which was immediately vetoed by the mayor. West Allis is now in the process of working on a generic dangerous dog ordinance.

Nevertheless, until we hear otherwise, BSL is still on the table in New Berlin, so please send your polite and respectful opposi… Continue

Well I have my fingers crossed that this will be the last time I post about her trying to find a home=) Someone is coming to look at her tomorrow=) She has not had many people inquire about her, which surprises me because she is such a beautiful well behaved puppy...

I know the site is still getting up and running but I am a bit curious to why there is such a lack of response on the posts for people that are looking to adopt...it seems we run around with our heads cut off all day trying to find homes for dogs, but I have 2-3 people searching for particular dogs and noone has one to re-home?
I realize that some people are just picky...the 2 people I know personally have converted to think about rescuing verses buying from a breeder or pet store and allow me t… Continue

This is something I do myself with my own laundry and it came when I was DESPERATE for money saving ideas because I was laid off, and unemployment was not coming in yet...
I started making my own laundry soap...it takes only 3 ingredients, 2 of them when you buy them they last for over 15 gallons of soap, the 3rd ingredient costs $1 and makes 3 batches (7.5gallons). So if you are a shelter, or donate to a shelter or rescue, THIS IS THE BEST CONTRIBUTION without breaking the bank!
I just recently… Continue

My local animal shelter here in upstate NY called Stephanies Animal Rescue is in need of donations, but so is every shelter...so to make things easier, for those of you that feed your animals Purina, can you save your weight circles (stamp on the side of the bag just like a proof of purchase) and send them to me or to Stephanies directly...
This is a program to help discount costs of food.
Thank You!!!!
