&lt;br /&gt;
holidays.&amp;nbsp;  We are once again asking assistance from the Calvin Community
&lt;br /&gt;
with letting friends and relatives know about these great dogs.  All three have
&lt;br /&gt;
had some obedience training, are vaccinated and neutered, have been temperament
&lt;br /&gt;
tested, and will make excellent pets.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sabrina is one year old, female, very sweet, and a boxer mix.  She is brindle
&lt;br /&gt;
in color.  While Sabrina walks happily with you when on a leash, she often
&lt;br /&gt;
stops and looks you in the eye to gain some sort of reassurance that you
&lt;br /&gt;
approve of what she&amp;#39;s doing.  She is the type of dog that will bond quickly
&lt;br /&gt;
with her new owner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.calvin.edu/admin/wmrl/images/k911%20heroes/2009-Sabrina.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rosco is a young, male, shepherd-sort-of-rottie mix who loves chasing balls. 
&lt;br /&gt;
When he first came to WMRL he was sad and unsure of himself, but now is smiley
&lt;br /&gt;
and outgoing.  He is energetic and would benefit from being allowed to run one
&lt;br /&gt;
thousand miles an hour after a Frisbee or a ball.  He will make someone an
&lt;br /&gt;
excellent buddy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.calvin.edu/admin/wmrl/images/k911%20heroes/2009-Rosco%201.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bullet is about a year old and a kind, male, cool color of brown,
&lt;br /&gt;
retriever / husky mix.  He loves people and loves to play.  When alone in the
&lt;br /&gt;
exercise room he throws his toys in the air and entertains himself.  He would
&lt;br /&gt;
prefer to be entertained by a human.

&lt;br /&gt;
Please help us spread the word regarding these wonderful dogs.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="userbody"&gt;DESPERATELY seeking information on the health and welfare of this beautiful FORMENTINO CANE CORSO MALE, AROUND 18 MONTHS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I do not violate any terms of service the names have been *** out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was given to M***** C****** of Durham, NC, R****** D** R***** on July 19, 2009. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not just dump this dog. It took 3 months of agonizing decision making to place him with a rescue. I had an unfortunate surgical incident that left me in a wheelchair and bedridden for months and this beautiful boy was not living the full and happy life he deserved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave a check to M****** C****** for $150.00 for his neutering as she stated her vet would update him on his shots (he was coming due) and neuter for $120.00 When we met the price was suddenly $220.00 but all I had was a check for $150. and she stated another person had volunteered to make up the difference. This dog, if still unaltered, is worth around $1200.00 on the low end. &lt;br /&gt;Since turning him over, (and I have no signed owner release agreement), but a series of emails that SPECIFICALLY state I am to have the full name, address and phone number of adopter and that this is to be an &amp;quot;OPEN ADOPTION&amp;quot;, I have been unable to receive ANY verifiable information or photos, which I was promised by EVERYONE including M****** while he was in her care. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received many phone calls from M******. There were so many stories I lost track. One that stuck out was she took him to be neutered and then a few days later he attacked and killed a raccoon that was &amp;quot;threatening&amp;quot; her and her little dog. He supposedly received several deep scratches. I immediately became concerned wanted the vets number who treated him and the information from the ACO to make sure the raccoon was not rabid. Of course I received none of this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she adopts him on a &amp;quot;trial basis&amp;quot; to some strange couple who would not allow me to have their phone number or address, plus, who adopts out a dog who has only been neutered 5 days before and had been attacked by a raccoon that you didn&amp;#39;t even know if it was rabid??? I made it VERY CLEAR this was a strong and dominant dog that needed an experienced handler, yet the female half of this &amp;quot;adopters&amp;quot; was coming off as very weak and terrified, like she was in witness protection. I also received 2 photos from this person, both which had been lifted from websites, which I recently discovered, but again, none of Dude. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could not reach M****** for almost a month and finally contacted &amp;quot;R*****&amp;quot;. She gave me a new phone number, the other was a land line which I verified, and this was a prepay phone. She tells me she couldn&amp;#39;t find my information, glad I called, etc., Dude had been returned BUT there was another person who was interested, this time a male in Raleigh. The stories start to become more and more convoluted as time wore on. I could not get photos of him, phone numbers, addresses, nothing to verify he was neutered, nothing to verify he still is alive. This guy supposedly took him to upstate NY on a &amp;quot;visit&amp;quot; to his parents. I then receive an email from &amp;quot;Jamie&amp;quot; who supposedly has him. Included were of course, no photos of Dude, but other photos one in particular of a Cane Corso that is supposedly owned by a good friend of his. Today I found not only that photo on the internet, but the name and owner of the dog, IN NOVA SCOTIA. Not even close to the information that was given to me. I have duly notified him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is only the tip of the iceberg. I have all documentation to back all this up. and more , so this is not libel, slander or anything close to it. Truth is truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I want to do is FIND DUDE! I want to make sure he is healthy, happy, loved and NEUTERED. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last straw was last week. I received several calls from M****** and in those calls I asked for a copy of the adoption agreement between the rescue and the adopter, with the verifiable information because she ASKED ME TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK ON THIS PERSON. Suddenly her husband, who is seriously ill, was away in VA Beach with his buddies and he took the computer so she didn&amp;#39;t have it. Then she told me they used it to email each other instead of call, subject changed when I suggested he email her the file. Then I suggested &amp;quot;R*****&amp;quot; would have the information, and she stated she was &amp;quot;out of town on vacation&amp;quot;. Then I told her I was contacting Durham county Police to file theft charges if he didn&amp;#39;t sign an agreement, she said she already did and they would help us anyway they could. When pressed with who it was she spoke to, after claiming the week before she had a &amp;quot;friend&amp;quot; who was a detective there, she told me &amp;quot;oh, it was the lady on the desk&amp;quot;. When I told her I was calling, and needed at least a starting point of where Dude had been neutered, she told me she didn&amp;#39;t have it done, &amp;quot;R*****&amp;quot; did and again, she was &amp;quot;away&amp;quot;. YET she had told me when he was in the &amp;quot;raccoon fight&amp;quot; that she had taken him to her vet and he had checked his stitches. When pressed for his info, she &amp;quot;didn&amp;#39;t have it on her.&amp;quot; You don&amp;#39;t remember your own vets name and you&amp;#39;re in rescue??? What are the odds? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this is all one giant, incalcuable set of coincidences. If so I think I need someone on the level of Stephen Hawkings to figure it out. I do know I have 5 different email addresses since this began and 83 emails between all of them and only two have verifiable links, M****** and the young man who supposedly adopted Dude, who is actually a female whose hobbies are listed as &amp;quot;Shawn&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will NOT GIVE UP until I find him, or find out what happened to him. My entire family is devastated. I cannot concentrate, sleep fully, I wake up dreaming of him, I cry at the drop of a hat. I CAN&amp;#39;T BELIEVE I LET HIM DOWN LIKE THIS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE, PASS THIS ON TO ANY RESCUE GROUP OR ANYONE YOU THINK CAN HELP!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;CARROLLTON ANIMAL SHELTER &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sweet dogs you see below only have through Tuesday 1/27. They are all very loving and sweet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, can you help? It&amp;#39;s really heartbreaking to see so many cute dogs desperately in need of a home. Please help. Euthanasia is scheduled for next week. ALL PICTURED BELOW ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH TUESDAY 1/27 at 6pm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe shelter pets are truly wonderful and they always seem to somehow know that you have saved them. They repay you with giving you their hearts and all their unconditional love. Please help save a life today - these animals repay you with all their love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: Tinker &lt;br /&gt;File Number: 19009 &lt;br /&gt;Breed: Doberman Pinscher&lt;br /&gt;Age: Adult &lt;br /&gt;Gender: Male &lt;br /&gt;This sweet young guy was found running stray throughout the city with no place to go. Appears to be a PB Doberman. He is a sweet, gentle boy who appears to be between 1-2 years old and to have a very good disposition as well. His tail has been docked but his ears remain uncropped giving him the natural look that seems to suit him best. He is really a cute dog. (Note: IF INTERESTED IN TINKER PLEASE CALL JOE AT THE SHELTER FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS GREAT DOG ... ) &lt;br /&gt;ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH TUESDAY 1/27 6PM COB. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://home.att.net/~leighannmc/CTinker.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: Tot &lt;br /&gt;File Number: 19032 &lt;br /&gt;Breed: Chihuahua &lt;br /&gt;Age: Adult &lt;br /&gt;Gender: Male &lt;br /&gt;What a clown this little fellow is. He is as sweet as they come always looking to get some attention through his playful antics and games. He was found as a stray wandering about and willing to &amp;quot;play&amp;quot; for food. People were concerned for his safety so he&amp;#39;s at the shelter on a limited engagement waiting for someone to choose him to be their pet. Please help save him. br&amp;gt; ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH TUESDAY 1/27 6PM COB. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://home.att.net/~leighannmc/CTot.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Name: Heckel &amp;amp; Jeckel &lt;br /&gt;File Number: 19027 &amp;amp; 19026 &lt;br /&gt;Breed: Shih Tzu&lt;br /&gt;Age: Adult &lt;br /&gt;Gender: Male &lt;br /&gt;Heckle and his buddy Jeckle were both found to be out running stray. They are timid young males about 1-2 years old or so. They both weigh in at under 10 lbs and that is about as big as they will get. They are in need of a trip to the hair salon to have themselves cleaned up and made as beautiful as they can be. Grooming will be an added lifelong expense for both of these boys which is something to consider prior to adopting one. &lt;br /&gt;ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH TUESDAY 1/27 6PM COB.

She is an exceptionally sweeet dog who appears to get along very well with other dogs. She loves to have her ears scratched and her shoulders rubbed after a hard day of trying to get people to pick her as their next pet ...sadly she is still waiting ... and still hoping. Won&amp;#39;t you come in and meet her? She&amp;#39;s truly a sweetie.

He is a very sweet but a little timid probably from all the noise in the shelter. He is just counting the days until someone comes and adopts him into a forever home. The shelter estimates him to be about 1-2 years old and to weigh about 45-50 lbs or so. He seems to like other dogs and all the nice people he has met so far. Really a handsome dog. Very sweet.

There is a Rescue Agency in Texas that is almost entirely funded by the founder with help via donations. She has 140+ dogs at her place at any given time. While she is primarily a Ridgeback rescuer she does other breeds as well including Great Danes, Whippets and some terriers.&amp;nbsp; Bonney i sin her 60&amp;#39;s and a limo driver.&amp;nbsp; She lives with great frugleness and gives endlessly to the dogs. As she takes in other breeds our National Club can not give funds &lt;img src="http://community.dog.com/emoticons/emotion-7.gif" alt="Tongue Tied" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She is being sued by a woman who resented being called a puppy miller.&amp;nbsp; The fact that this woman has dogs in rescue and she has up&amp;nbsp; 6 litters on the ground at any time does not seem to her to be an indication she is less than an ethical breeder.&amp;nbsp; On top of it based off of private emails from her she is obviously mentally ill. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bonney may be forced to act as her own counsel unless I can assist her in finding some one who will either pay for counsel or do this case pro bono.&amp;nbsp; The woman was overheard to brag that since Bonney didn&amp;#39;t own much she would get her 5 personal dogs (show dogs) and breed the heck out of them to get even. ( Bonney rehomed her dogs to make sure they would not be considered her only assets.&lt;br /&gt;So you all know any millionaires?? How about the contact urls for talk shows maybe they could put her on ?&amp;nbsp; Grants or Foundations?? Novel Fund Raiser Ideas ??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hellllllp guys&lt;/p&gt;

I met &lt;span class="nfakPe"&gt;Elmo&lt;/span&gt; in a Canadian animal shelter
and fell in love with this handsome, sweet and goofy dog!&amp;nbsp; He was a
favorite with the volunteers but wasn&amp;#39;t getting adopted because he
clearly had a problem with his hind end. I promised to help him and after waiting two months was
able to get him into a foster home in Western NY through the rescue
group I volunteer with, Buffalo Humane: http://www.buffalohumane.org&lt;br /&gt;


&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="nfakPe"&gt;Elmo&lt;/span&gt; has now been diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia.
He is in pain and needs surgery but first he needs rehab to help strengthen his muscles. I am asking for donations in any amount for
&lt;span class="nfakPe"&gt;Elmo&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#39;s surgery--&lt;b&gt;if enough people donate, $5-$10 will help&lt;/b&gt;!&amp;nbsp; Your donation is tax deductible and will be much
appreciated! &lt;br /&gt;


&lt;br /&gt;Please pass this along to anyone you think might wish to help me help &lt;span class="nfakPe"&gt;Elmo&lt;/span&gt;! Thanks and &lt;span class="nfakPe"&gt;Elmo&lt;/span&gt; sends sloppy kisses! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is &lt;span class="nfakPe"&gt;Elmo&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#39;s fundraising page: &lt;a href="http://www.firstgiving.com/elmofund" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.firstgiving.com/elmofund&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spayed females&lt;br /&gt;
2 yrs.&lt;br /&gt;
about 45-55 pounds&lt;br /&gt;
spayed, UTD&lt;br /&gt;
No DA&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These dogs were left at a vet&amp;#39;s office because their old owners were&lt;br /&gt;
overwhelmed with the number of dogs they had.&amp;nbsp; These girls have been
in&lt;br /&gt;
the kennel now for 9-10 months.&amp;nbsp; Due to their breed the owner of the&lt;br /&gt;
facility has wanted to PTS them for a long time now, and I don&amp;#39;t think&lt;br /&gt;
much effort has been put forth on his part to find them homes.&amp;nbsp; But
the&lt;br /&gt;
staff has fallen in love with these girls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is their last chance.&amp;nbsp; They are set to be PTS before the end of
the&lt;br /&gt;
week because February Vacation is coming up this weekend and they need the
space for boarding dogs.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maya, the black and white dog, looks more hound-like.&amp;nbsp; She is a&lt;br /&gt;
sweetheart, easy going, and has a little more energy than her sister,
but&lt;br /&gt;
she&amp;#39;s still a pretty relaxed girl over all.&amp;nbsp; When I met her she came
out&lt;br /&gt;
into the yard and did some adorable butt-scoot zoomies, but then just&lt;br /&gt;
wanted to run between the humans, getting loved on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Victoria, the brown and white dog, has a hound body but her facial&lt;br /&gt;
markings make her look a little more pit-like.&amp;nbsp; She is a little more
shy&lt;br /&gt;
than her sister at first, but warms up very quickly and just wants to
sit&lt;br /&gt;
on your feet and be touched . . . and give the sweetest, gentlest
little&lt;br /&gt;
kisses.&amp;nbsp; She would be the PERFECT snuggle buddy for someone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither girl reacted when introduced to another female pit mix.&amp;nbsp; I did
a&lt;br /&gt;
quick TT and both passed with flying colors.&amp;nbsp; I can lean over them,
touch&lt;br /&gt;
them all over, hug them, and they just let me, a stranger, do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
These girls are absolute LOVES and are highly adoptable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anyone can help these girls please email me and I&amp;#39;ll get you in touch
with the&lt;br /&gt;
shelter/vet&amp;#39;s office they are at.&amp;nbsp; Remember, this is URGENT!!&amp;nbsp; These
girls will be PTS before the end of the week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for helping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
