Candlelight Vigil Saturday, April 5, 2008 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Carson Animal Shelter

During fiscal year 2007, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control killed 52,800 of the 85,975 animals they impounded.

That’s a 61.4% kill rate.

Those animals deserve to be more than just a statistic. Join us in remembering the animals killed by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control in a candlelight vigil on Saturday, April 5, 2008 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Carson Animal Shelter.

On Sunday, April 6, 2008, Los Angeles County shelters will be closed to the public, and that is when the most killing will take place. This candlelight vigil will also remember those animals that will be killed on Sunday.

The candlelight vigil will feature speakers who had animals that they were going to rescue or adopt needlessly killed by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control and those who had animals they were going to rescue or adopt die at a Los Angeles County shelter due to the neglect of the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.

If you’d like to speak at the candlelight vigil or to RSVP, contact Ryan Olshan at Ryan.Olshan@strongtypes.com.

Marine Mammals and Birds Stranded on Beaches to Increase. All Angelenos can help!

NEWS RELEASE

City of Los Angeles _ Department of Animal Services 221 N. Figueroa Street, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California 90012 / www.LAAnimalServices.com

Marine Mammals and Birds Stranded on Beaches Expected to Increase LA Animal Services Warns: Leash Your Dogs! 

Los Angeles – Marine mammal stranded on beaches are expected to increase over the next 3 to 4 months. One sensitive location for migratory sea birds and marine mammal strandings is the North Channel area in Venice/Marina Del Rey.

Lifeguards have reported as many as 50 free roaming dogs at any one time in this area. Free roaming dogs pose a significant risk to the health and safety of these animals. All Angelenos are reminded they must comply with the City’s Leash Law. LA Animal Services is increasing patrols in the Venice Beach area and will cite leash law violators.

Recently a reported hypothermic seal attempting to beach at the North Channel area was forced to retreat into the ocean by over 20 free roaming dogs. Rescue efforts were thwarted by citizens who allow their dogs to run free in violation of the leash law.

Two years ago, dogs prevented a domoic sea lion from beaching, chasing her into the water each time she tried. The animal ultimately drowned. Domoic causes seizures and disorientation, if a sea lion is not allowed to beach, it will most likely drown.

Marine Animal Rescue has rescued 49 marine mammals so far in 2008, with 7 marine mammals and 6 sea birds rescued just this past weekend.

The majority of the birds rescued are Oiled Grebe’s. Grebe’s hips are placed so far back on their body that they cannot move well on land and become easy targets for playful or aggressive dogs. Harbor Seals and Elephant Seals cannot climb well which explains why these animals are seldom seen on the rocks; they need the beach.

Dogs are susceptible to diseases (Leptospirosis or Bruceloss) when they come in contact with Sea Lions. Sea Lions have been known to inflict fatal bites to dogs.

For 20 years, Marine Animal Rescue volunteers, working in concert with LA Animal Services, has come to the aid of entangled or beached whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions and sea birds along the California coast. Marine Animal Rescue volunteers have rescued thousands of marine animals. For more information on this organization visit: http://www.whalerescueteam.org/.

Rotweiler/ Sheperd Mix- COCOA- for Adoption

Cocoa

coccoa.JPG

Cocoa is a 2 year old Rotweiler/ Sheperd Mix. She is Brindle with White Coloring. I adopted Cocoa from the shelter when she was just 7 weeks old. Shortly after I got her, the veterinarian told me that she had Parvo. Together, we did everything necessary to save her life, (I figured I didnt adopt her from the shelter just to let her go, we were gonna fight) and we did and we won.

After a few weeks in the hospital, a blood transfusion and some real care, she was back to her healthy puppy self. We spent a lot of time and money to save her life, and everyday she reminds me that she was worth it. She is a beautiful dog, she’s never had a bad day. She loves to cuddle in bed, run outside and play with other dogs. Since Cocoa was little, she has lived with three other dogs. They were like a little pack of dogs running around our large property. Really a little family. We also took care of a friends cat for a few months and once Cocoa was introduced to the cat, she was in love.

She herself thought she was a cat, when the cat would sit on the back of the couch, so would Cocoa. A big 60 lbs. dog on the back of the couch is almost as cute at the cat. Unfortuantely, we lived in an area that was not so great and had to move quickly.

We were fortunate enough to have her stay with my brother in law, because we all lived on the same property, there was no trauma for her. She stayed in the same place with him, happily. While he went to work out of the city, she went to stay with my sister in law (someone she had visited almost everyday with us) and was so happy because she had two little girls to play with her all day long.

She did great with the girls, they are 5 and 6 years old. Now our time has run out and we can no longer have her with our family, due to their obligations and we have to respect that. We refuse to put her back into the shelter where she will have no chance whatsoever , so we ask for any and all help possible to find her a home asap. She is neutered/spay. If you can help please e-mail me at Bellitzima@yahoo.com

Thank you,
Anissa
