Justice For Lennox! by Labavenger

Lennox the dog was killed: I´m SO angry at Belfast CC!!


http://youtu.be/3GBOVLKYBj8
 
 
If you are like me and love animals, your blood is probably boiling right now! An innocent dog named Lennox was taken away from his family and the little girl that was his best friend. He was kept inside a prison cell for two years just because of the way he looked. If we the people do nothing to stop this, your dog might be next! 

If you are as furious as me, then please give a piece of your mind to those sub humans at Belfast City Council on twitter @belfastcc
Please contact as well Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland. Please ask him for justice @DUPleader 

Visit the hashtags #Lennox  #riplennox  #endBSL  and please follow and support

Dogs Must Wear Safety Belts in New Jersey by Labavenger

Dogs must wear safety belts in NJ 


(EXTRA SMALL) Dog Car Seatbelt - Black or Blue 

Do you have 1000 Dollars to spare? Do you want to spend up to six months in a prison?
Well if you don´t care about your dog or cat´s safety that is the kind of fine you will get in NJ each time your pet is not wearing a seat belt attached to a dog car safety harness 
 You can also say bye bye to dogs traveling in the back of pick ups or sticking their heads out the window. 

Animal lovers everywhere rejoice! NJ has done what other states never dared: fine irresponsible pet owners. 
The logic behind this law in the Garden State is simple: people who drive with a pet on their lap get distracted more easily and that can end up in an awful car accident. So NJ is trying to save both human and animal lives ! 
Two paws up for the Garden State, I hope this law becomes common all over the U.S. and why not the entire planet.

Helping Animals When You Don't Have Cash by Labavenger

How to help animals when you don´t have cash




I´ve heard it many times from all types of people: ¨I wish I can help, but I´m out of work¨, ¨I have too many expenses¨, the list of excuses goes on and on. 

If you really want to help animals, money is not a problem. You only need to dedicate time and effort.

Here is a small list of whay you can do to help save animal lives: 

a) Please install the free Pet Pardons app on your facebook page. Hit advocate daily to save as many animals as possible. You can also go to petpardons.com and look for other free ways to help animals. 

b)  Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, and tweet some more. 
Believe it or not, crossposting lost/found, abused and urgent death row animals on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and other sites does help and saves lives !

c) Install the free Save a Dog  app on your facebook page. It is a fun and easy way to help rescue animals on a daily basis. 

d) Visit care2.org and click to help save pets, seals, big cats, wolves and others. It´s FREE and sponsors turn your clicks into donations that help animals. You can also sign animal welfare petitions. 

e) Go daily to freekibble.com  answer a simple trivia question and  they will donate free food to shelter animals, even if your answer was wrong ! 

f) Make sure you visit The Animal Rescue Site  click once daily on the purple botton, they will donate food to rescued animals.You can also sign petitions, send e cards, etc. All of these actions help save animals lives, and cost zero to you ! 

Finally, I recommend you follow on Twitter: 

@exposeDOGkiller, @happydawgblawg,  @DogRetrievers,  @Defenders,  @captiveanimals, @AbusedNYCHorse, @SaveLennox, @P4Animals, 

@FreeTonyTiger, @UrgentPart2, @SaveLucy, @StopSlaughtrACC

 and every single real animal lover you find on Twitter. Animal lives depend on you !! 

Please remember to adopt/foster or rescue animals. DON´T buy animals from pet stores, websites or elsewhere, there are already too many animals waiting at shelters.  Animals at High Kill shelters are on DEATH ROW, and need you to act extra fast! 
If you know somebody that wants to surrender a pet or a farm animal and has no intention of changing his mind,  ask that person to give his/her animals  only to an animal loving friend or family member. Animals that are surrendered to High Kill shelters or pounds are at high risk or getting killed at any time! Farm animals that don´t get rescued end up either abused or dead! 
If you can´t adopt/foster or rescue, please crosspost as many urgent animals as you can. Don´t forget to tweet about abused, abandoned, lost/found pets and about saving farm animals and wildlife.  If you see a stray, lost/abandoned or abused animal DON´T look the other way, call a true animal lover or a real No Kill animal rescue and give food and water to the animal in the meantime.

Hero Dog by Labavenger


Ghost or angel dog?: Let´s go  with HERO dog ! 

Angel dog? 

The white dog in the picture might well be a ghost or angel dog. The woman who took pictures of a stray mom and her three puppies says the white dog has a halo around him and never eats, he just watches over the family of stray dogs. 

These innocent stray dogs live in the area around a church in Dallas and the white dog looks around for any potential dangers to the family of strays. 

It doesn´t matter if you believe in ghosts, angels or anything else. What matters is that the white dog is a HERO, and the mom and her three puppies deserve to be adopted by a loving family ! The streets are not a safe place and these innocent animals might get in trouble soon! 

So, if you can adopt/foster or rescue this family of stray dogs in Dallas, please email the woman who took pictures of these dogs:  tawanacouch@mac.com

Portable Dog Water Bottles by Labavenger


Portable Dog water bottles: Are they right for your pet ? 

Dog Water Bottle - Portable - Carrying Strap and Belt Clip Included - Handi Drink 17Oz 

If you and your pet like to take long walks and there is no clean water around what do you do ? 

Well you could buy a portable dog water bottle. No matter which brand you buy, they all serve their purpose of keeping your pet hydrated. However most portable dog water bottles have  flaws. For starters they normally can hold from 12 up to 20 oz of water. So if your dog likes to drink a lot during long  walks you´ll run out of water before the walk is over.

I use one of these portable dog water bottles and my dog likes to take walks of up to two hours long. I usually end up without water in less than an hour so I have to hurry back home. 

You could carry with you an additional water bottle, but it not be practical to carry more stuff around.

The second and maybe the biggest downside of most portable dog water dispensers is the fact that the drinking tray is way to narrow as you can see on the picture above. 

My dog has a hard time putting her tongue in there to get a drink of water.

So if you are like me and my dog, and like to take long walks you are better off with a collapsible bowl like the Kyjen Outward Hound 48 Ounce Port a Bowl . This pawsome portable bowl is much bigger and your dog will have no problems drinking from it. What about the water you ask? Well I reccomend you get a good old fashioned cantine.

Don´t forget to always have your dogs on a leash.. Yes even while they are drinking water. 

Hope these tips helped .
