Celebrating Senior Pets
As November Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month draws to a close, I thought I would take one more look at how shelters in our area and around the country strove to create awareness for the benefits of senior pet ownership. Here’s a look at a few:
Thanksgiving Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving and Giving Thanks for our Pets
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, like so many others I feel compelled to think about what I am thankful for this holiday season. Alley Cat Allies had a nice idea to offer out their "Thanksgiving Gallery" opportunity to give supporters a voice and chance to display their special cat photos. I took that opportunity myself, so I hope to see my post very soon. In the meantime, I decided to highlight here in more detail what I give thanks for with regard to my pets.

ASPCA Research: Is This Cat Feral?
I like to walk for exercise and to get some sun. So I walk around my neighborhood a few times a week. I would say nine times out of ten while I am walking I see a cat outdoors. Sometimes the cat is sitting on a porch or lawn that I assume is his owner's property, and sometimes the cat is in a field or bushes and jumps away as I approach. Then I think, "Is this cat Feral?"

A Salute To Military Working Dogs
On this November 11th, I wanted to say a few words about our Military Working Dogs. I did not know much myself about this subject until it was brought to my attention back in 2008 while watching ABC World News with Diane Sawyer. At the end of the program, a website was mentioned where one could go to adopt a retired Military Dog.

Stray Cat Hero Gets Two Thumbs Up!
Time for a little fun and levity! Puss in Boots 3D, a Shrek spinoff, is a real treat for both children and adults. Donning my 3D glasses last night, I was happily amused, amazed and most of the time, in awe. This movie begins with Puss in kittenhood, explains how he got his name and explains how this little stray cat became a hero in the end.

Update on Firu's Case...
Warning.....the photo you are about to see is disturbing to say the least. Please prepare yourself to view the outcome of one of the most unthinkable acts of negligence toward an innocent dog.

Braving Mother Nature to Launch SAVE Pet Fair
Yes, right in time for Halloween, Mother Nature played a Trick on SAVE Animal Shelter this year. She brought us a nor'easter on October 29, the day of our First Annual Stroll for Strays Dog Walk and Pet Fair. With no scheduled rain date, the SAVE team and volunteers played a Trick on Mother Nature. We showed up and staged the event!

9th Annual Halloween Dog Parade a Howling Good Time!
Hi Everyone,
I must admit, I had never gone to a Halloween Dog Parade before. I saw clips of a New York based parade on TV the day before, but nothing beats "being there!"

Frankie, A Pit Bull Success Story
Hi Everyone,
Since I have been volunteering for SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals, I have learned a lot. Being a cat owner, I am certainly no expert on dogs, and I realize that Pit Bulls get a lot of bad press, and I mean a lot!
