Colorado State University Spay/Neuter trip Costa Rica
Veterinary students at Colorado State recently did a trip similar to what we are putting together for this year. It turned out to be an awesome trip for all involved, especially the 240 animals that were spayed, neutered and vaccinated by this wonderful group.
“One 14-year-old boy walked for two hours, starting at 5 a.m., with his three dogs,” said Liz Georges, a CSU veterinary student who was on the trip. “When he reached the clinic and saw the line, he thought we wouldn’t be able to squeeze him in and began to cry. We got him in, and we made a difference to him, a big difference. Every donor’s generosity brought a lot of gratitude from the community. The people who donated their time, money and resources allowed us to make immense differences to people and their animals individually and as a community.”

Bebe and her kittens

This is Bebe, a beautiful mini pinscher and IheartMutts Honorary Mutt of the day ![]()
Bebe belongs to a friend of a friends and I wanted to share this great story and these wonderful photo’s with you.
A few months back Bebe’s owner found some tiny orphaned kittens, she brought them home an began bottle feeding them trying to nurse them to health – Bebe had just gone through a false pregnancy (which is apparently not too uncommon with dogs) and was very curious about the kittens from the moment they arrived. Not too long after, Bebe’s owner walked in to find Bebe nursing the kittens!



Low Cost Vaccination & ID microchipping in Silverake this SUNDAY

Mobile Vet Care is a great group of vets that hold low cost shot clinics at participating pet stores every weekend – its a great way to get all your dogs shots up to date for around 80 bucks (which I’m sure you know would cost around $250 at your local vet). These vets are experienced, knowledgeable and friendly – you may have to wait in line for 20 minutes or so, but when’s the last time you didn’t spend a good hour in your own vets waiting room even though you had an appointment? You can also get your dogs the Pet Microchip Id which links them to a recovery network in case they ever get lost.
This weekends clinic is being held at:

Leo’s Dogs
Leo is a friend of mine that lives down in Puerto Rico – she does more for stray dogs in one week than most people will do in a lifetime. The stables she initially built to house her horses soon became a haven for stray and abused dogs. Leo has a big beautiful property up in the hills of Rincon, what makes her property the ultimate paradise is that she shares it with her own 9 dogs, 3 beautiful big birds, 10 horses, around 15 cats that are sterilized and live in the wild, and approx 30 foster dogs that Leo nurses back to health then places in loving forever homes. Here are some pix of this lucky bunch










One click really does help!
Bookmark this page under FEED PUPPIES in capital letters so everyday when you are on your computer you remember to click! This site is so great and its such a simple way to make a little difference – its actually so simple that people end up not doing it because they don’t think its real! Last year emails were sent out by the sites administrators urging people to pass the message on and click once a day since they were barely getting any web traffic – don’t let that happen this year!
Please help these animals by reading and forwarding!








An email was forwarded to me by my friend Nanette in New York, she is working with some great people to try and help as many of these dogs and cats as possible – they are currently at a shelter in North Carolina that uses the “Heartstick” method to euthanize the animals. I did not know what “Heartstick” was until I googled it – I wish I hadn’t. Its a very cruel and painful way to kill these poor little souls and when it is not done right (which apparently happens more often than not) it is absolutely horrifying. I know no one likes reading, seeing or hearing about horrible and cruel things, but just because it hurts us doesn’t mean we should ignore it – it hurts these helpless animals even more. In the words of the woman who is heading this effort to save these poor animals “I AM BEGGING ANYONE WHO CAN HELP THESE POOR BABIES ON THEIR LAST DAY TO CROSSPOST FAR AND WIDE TO HELP THEM. AS STATED, THIS IS A HEARTSTICK SHELTER.”
Please guys, forward this to ANYONE who you think may want a dog, even if they live no where near North Carolina – I will help you get the dogs to wherever you or anyone who wants them happen to be. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.
Thank you,
Neva
