He arrived here August 7th and we're amazed that an owner never came for him. We figure he's about 7-years or older. What's that mean for you? It means you will have a mature friend to romp with! He's housebroken, and loves his toys (so much so that he carries one with him on his walks!).</span><br />

What can you say about a dog that grins at you all the time? That he's nuts? Or is he just the sweetest dog in the world? The latter is the correct answer. Buddy is the sweetest!<br />
<br />
Buddy is great on a leash because he's with YOU and that's all he really wants. <br />
<br />
He loves to romp with other dogs too! <br />

<br />Buddy is learning the command 'wait' before he jumps out of the car,
"CAR? Did someone say CAR?" And he's learning to 'leave it' too, which
helps when he sees a squirrel.Likes water, so a swim would be a blast, or even a small kiddy pool!<br />
<br />
Come meet Buddy at Sammie's Friends! Kennel hours are 12-4 every day but Sunday at 14647 McCourtney Rd, Grass Valley, CA.<br />

You might think of Sammie's Friends as a place for dogs and cats only, but we get our share of horses donkeys who need our help too. Horses have some completely different needs from dogs and cats. They need their hooves trimmed, their teeth floated (filed) sheath cleaned, and udders cleaned to name a few. And like dogs and cats, they need good food (hay), vaccines, and a place to get out of harsh weather.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And all that care is incredibly expensive. Grass hay is around $21 a bale right now, and an average size (1000lb) horse can go through a bale in a few days.<br />

boy. He’s house trained, understands no, and he’s been neutered and is
up-to-date on his shots. He’s been around men, women and kids. </div>

What can you say about a girl who loves people, loves to play, and loves to walk in the woods? You can say, "I need that dog!"<br />

Bridget was a stray who no one ever came looking for. We scratch our heads and wonder how anyone could lose such a girl and not come looking for her, and they've had plenty of time. She's been here since June 2012.<br />
<br />
Bridget walks well on a leash and is eager to be with you. She's great with kids, and people, and with some proper introduction, can be good with your dog. She would prefer that you don't put cats in her way, though. She might just want to play chase, but her idea of play probably isn't the same as the cat's.<br />
<br />
Bridget is up-to-date on her vaccines, and has been spayed. Lucky you, that she's still here!<br />

Tyler will blow your socks off! He's gorgeous and funny and LOVES attention! Which is why it's so shocking that he's still here. He came to us in April of 2012 skunked. Yes, he'd been sprayed, and was skinny and sad. The stink has been gone for months, but poor Tyler is still here. Still, we kinda have him tucked away in Cheryl's office and only show him to special people. We have been ordered to find him a good home, so here's your chance. </div>

He's glossy, and solid black, with the most amazing orange eyes. And he's large too! Tyler has been neutered and is current on his vaccines. Come meet him; and we'll take you into the inner sanctum---the secret password is "Tyler."</div>

<br />
The recent rains have produced a large crop of mushrooms in my yard. Naturally, I worry about the dogs, cats and horses eating them, but I don't know which are bad. The best thing to do is to pluck them up before the critters find them.<br />
<br />
I have kicked them and smashed them, but all that does is spread the spores, and they come back up over night. On acreage, it's difficult to pick up all the mushrooms, and they come up fast, so it's also important to know the signs of poisoning.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9E-LR5XgMdETjJlyO1QrW6LsUS-GTG4BsOq2sxg6iID5orMWbFrDmOpK_97k8A8njdCN1fxU1Bqk030uHOPka4N6nK_WIefztMBeNpyXYLTwUr3HKUuCLV4P86_IVaTZpwSZ2_56leLe/s1600/shrooms2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9E-LR5XgMdETjJlyO1QrW6LsUS-GTG4BsOq2sxg6iID5orMWbFrDmOpK_97k8A8njdCN1fxU1Bqk030uHOPka4N6nK_WIefztMBeNpyXYLTwUr3HKUuCLV4P86_IVaTZpwSZ2_56leLe/s200/shrooms2.jpg" width="200" /></a><b>Symptoms of poisoning</b> include salivating, head shaking, tremors,vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, lethargy, and difficulty walking, to name a few. These symptoms can exhibit within a few minutes or up to several hours after ingesting.<br />
<br />
<b>If you catch your dog eating mushrooms</b>, remove the pieces and induce vomiting. If you can't do this, or have delicate sensibilities, get thee to the vet. Immediately. If you have a specimen of the mushroom, take that with you. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b> Check your yard </b>each morning, especially during the rainy, damp season. They grow quickly and can shoot up overnight, so scoop them up and throw them away.<br />
<br />
<b>And remember</b>, it can be nearly impossible to tell the poisonous varieties from the edible.<br />

What would you do with your beloved pet if something were to
happen to you? Many pets are brought to the shelter after their owner has died. Would your family take your pet to the shelter? If you think they would keep it, you might be
right, but you might also be surprised.<br />
<br />
After the September 2001 attack, 800 animals were left homeless. Now is the time to plan for the welfare of your pet. You need to do three things:<br />
<br />
<b>1</b>. identify the caregiver,<br />
<b>2</b>. prepare written instructions,<br />
<b>3</b>. and set up a fund. <br />

<a href="http://www.2ndchance4pets.org/help.html#link1" target="_blank">Choose a caregiver wisely.</a> Talk to your vet, or ask local pet
sitters and animal rescue groups, if your family or friends aren't able to take your pet. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can set up a pet trust. California is one of the 32 states that has pet trusts. You’ll also want to fund it.
With this step, figure out how much you are spending each year on your pet, including vet visits, and multiply that times how many years your pet might live. If you can’t afford to do this step, please take the steps to ensure your pet
goes to a person who can and will care for it and who will WANT it. <a href="http://www.2ndchance4pets.org/help.html#link1" target="_blank">Click here to learn more about setting up a pet trust</a>.</div>

If you leave money for the care of your pet, your trust will create a fiduciary responsibility for the appointed person to care for your pet. We had a woman call us to bring a cat to the shelter. That cat was left to her with money for its care, which she offered to give us.
I doubt that was
the intent of the cat’s former owner. How very sad.<br />
<br />
The resources on <a href="http://www.2ndchance4pets.org/2nd%20Chance%204%20Pets%20Nov%202008%20Newsletter_new.pdf" target="_blank">2nd Chance for Pets</a> offer many useful forms, including a wallet card. Add your address, pet’s name and
type of pet, and have an emergency contact number to this card and carry it with you. Post emergency
contact information at home by your phone too. It should include an alternate phone number,
the pets in your home, where to find leashes/carriers/foods/meds, the name of your vet and, most importantly, the name of an emergency caregiver.<br />

<b>Why would someone drag a dog behind a car?</b> That's a rhetorical question. Look at that face. This is a nice dog. He was dragged behind a car until his pads and nails were pulled off, and then was cut loose and left crumpled in the road.<br />
<br />
Some folks speculate that he might have fallen from the back of a truck and was dragged by accident. Even so, someone cut him loose and left him to suffer. And die. A kind person found him there. Covered in asphalt and gravel and cleaned him off. They then took him to the vet. That's when animal control and Sammie's Friends got involved.<br />

We named him Karma and we hope that the person who did this to him will experiences the full affects of karma.<br />
<br />
<b>Other dogs are in the shelter who have fallen from trucks.</b> It happens often. Tie the dog up, or not, and the dog jumps out, get's strangled, breaks a leg. Fill in the blank.<br />
<br />
Two are here right now. Doja had her hip and leg broken the first day the family got her. They put her in the truck and took off. Result: one broken dog. For months, no help was sought for this dog. Then she was turned over to the Sammie's Friends. Nice. After extensive surgery, she's recovering in a foster home. She's a sweetheart too.<br />

The other dog here is Lady. She has three legs now after her truck episode. She's a charming girl, but even after damaging her, they turned her in to the shelter. How sad.<br />
<br />
According to the Humane Society of the United States, 100,000 dogs are
killed each year in accidents involving riding in truck beds. Although
it is not illegal in Arizona, a number of states have banned this form
of pet travel. <a href="http://www.wranglernews.com/2010/09/26/study-pickup-accidents-claim-lives-of-100000-dogs/" target="_blank">Read the article. </a><br />

<b>Dogs don't belong in the back of your truck. Please don't put your dogs in your trucks---put them in the cab with you, or leave them home. </b><br />

Karma's case is different from Doja's and Lady's. At least their owners didn't do it on purpose. At least their owners didn't leave them where they fell. To suffer and perhaps die.<br />
<br />
A reward has been posted for the person who dragged Karma. <span style="color: red;"><b>We're also accepting donations for his medical care. </b></span>If you would like to help, you can use the Paypal link on our website (<a href="http://www.sammiesfriends.org/" target="_blank">this link will take you there)</a>, or you can mail your donations (the old fashioned way) to Sammie's Friends Animal Shelter, 14647 McCourtney Rd., Grass Valley, CA 95949.<br />
<br />
To all those who have already sent your good wishes to Karma, a big <b>THANK YOU</b>!<br />

I'm single and available! Man or woman---makes no difference to me. I love them all. I'm a natural blond (white), with a big beautiful smile. Some folks say I'm the smallest, cutest pit they've ever seen, and I believe them. I'm two years old, and I'm a healthy curvy girl.<br />
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like long walks and evenings by the fire. I like to play ball, fetch and run with you, and prefer to sleep on (or near) your bed.<br />

<div>
Are you quirky? I have a few quirks of my own. When I laugh I snort. I don't really like other dogs, but with a proper introduction I can learn how to play nice. And, please forgive me but I simply cannot figure out why cats are on this planet.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">Mommy left me in the car while she ran an errand. It took no time at all before four-year old me began to panic. I thought something happened to mommy and I cried. Should I get out of the car and look for her? It was a big street, and I didn't want to cross it by myself. My gaze was glued to the door of the store, and FINALLY she appeared. Lost in the grocery store, at the fair, add your own 'abandoned' event here. Whatever and wherever it was, it was scary!</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption"><b>Enter Chopper.</b> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">Chopper, an Australian Shepherd/Chow mix, was brought to the shelter as a stray, and because no one came looking for him, we have to figure that he was abandoned. Most dogs adjust to this, but Chopper isn't most dogs. He's a ten-year old gentleman, who has manners, and dignity, and expects the person in his life to be there for him. When his person didn't appear, he got scared. (Remember your own lost-in-the-grocery-store scare, and you'll know how he feels.)</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">So after Chopper was adopted into a wonderful home, and the family left him to run errands, he became terrified, and tried to escape to find them. It's called separation anxiety. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption"><b>Separation anxiety</b> symptoms run from mild to severe and can become a full-on panic attack. Some early signs include:</span></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">following you from room to room, pacing (when he sees you preparing to leave)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">salivating</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">howling</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">barking</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">whining</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">There are things you can do on your own to help with a mild to moderate case of separation anxiety. Here are a few from <a href="http://bestfriends.org/" target="_blank">Best Friends Animal Sanctuary</a>'s Sherry Woodard.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">"If you have been told that your dog has mild to moderate separation anxiety, there are some strategies you can try to break the cycle of escalating anxiety. First, practice leaving without opening the door. Put on your shoes, pick up your keys, and walk to the door, but don’t leave. You may need to do this 10 times per day for weeks or months to quell your dog’s anxiety.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption"><br />Another strategy is to walk into closets and close the door behind you. Wait one minute and then reappear. You can also exit via an outside door that you normally don’t leave through. Wait one minute and then walk back in. If your dog doesn’t appear anxious, try two minutes and add time if the dog continues to be comfortable with it. Back off on your time, however, if the dog becomes stressed.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption"><br />Once your dog is comfortable with you leaving through the back door, you can start working on walking out the main door and returning after a short period of time. Again, gradually increase the time according to how your dog handles it. Practice as many absences as possible that last less than 10 minutes."

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hasCaption">Chopper came back to Sammie's Friends and he may just need </span><span class="hasCaption">someone who will be home with him and who can take him wherever they go. With some work, though, he might be able to recover from this fear of abandonment. He's great on a leash. Will just sit in the room, relaxed and happy as can be. Loves to be with other dogs, kids, even cats. You would never know from his calm and dignified demeanor that he needs help recovering from abandonment.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Won't you consider meeting him?</span></div>

<br />
The Golden Rule "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You" applies to our pets as it does to us humans. When I use this to guide me I do the right thing for my pets. For
example: Would I like to sit in a hot car with a fur coat on with
the windows rolled up? The answer is "No</span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">" Do I like to go without regular meals? "No, again." Do I want to see my dentist when I have an abscessed tooth? "Yes I'm in pain." If I got a foxtail
up my nose would it drive me crazy? "Yes, it would." If
I got screamed at would I cower in the corner, especially if the screamer was as much bigger than me than I am
to my cat? "Yes I would." I think I'd pretty much answer
these questions like my pet would. Ask yourself and see what answers you come
up with.<br />
<br />
Pets feel the same emotions we do. They can be happy, sad, lonely,
depressed, scared or excited. Watch them and you can quickly determine what they are feeling. Our pets also have the same senses we
do. They feel pain when something is hurting them, they're hungry, or they are ill. They like to be petted and loved
like we do. <br />
<br />
We humans were given an analytical ability that other species don't have; they
were given some things we don't have. We expect our
pet to go with the flow when many people (s)he has never seen before come and
pet </span><span style="color: black;">her/him. We don't like everybody
touching us—everyone isn't our instant friend. Yet
we expect that from our pets and most of them are quite tolerant and patient with all of this. You are way bigger than the animal.
What if some person proportionately bigger than you (</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: black;">as you are to </span>your cat</span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">)</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> picked you up in the air and expected you to
purr immediately and show gratitude for being picked up by a monster. I think we'd be the hissers and scratchers, not the lovers and purrers.</span></div>

Animals do need discipline and rules and boundaries, they do <u>not</u>
need abuse. For instance<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">,</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">
when your child misbehaves it is appropriate to talk to the child, take
away a privilege</span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">,</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> require some chore be performed to
demonstrate "I'm sorry</span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">,</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">" or incent them
with a reward to do better. It is not appropriate to hit, scream or
berate your child and tear his/her character down. The same is true
for your pet. One of the most effective techniques I used on my very special doggie, Sammie,
was a time</span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">-</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">out sitting in the corner. A few
minutes was enough. He got the picture and altered his behavior and our great relationship remained
intact. <br />
<br />
Pets are a gift and a treasure just like our children are. Treat
them as such and you will have one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. No human will ever show you the devotion that a well</span><span style="color: #1f497d; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">-</span>loved pet will. Most humans do not have the patience
and tolerance that our pets do.
Your pets need exercise, discipline and affection<span style="color: black;">—p</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">lease see that they get it.</span></div>

<b>All The Little Graces,</b> written by local musician
and author<a href="http://eleanoremacdonald.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> Eleanore MacDonald</a>, is a novel set in Greece about the complicated
beauty of the human-animal relationship, woven around the lives of the
strays of Greece's streets. If you purchase a copy of the book here at the
shelter, ALL proceeds go directly to Sammie's Friends. You can
also purchase the book online where a percentage of the proceeds will go to
benefit Sammie's Friends and the Skiathos Dog Shelter, in Skiathos Greece.</div>

<i>From Amazon.com</i>: "Life is not easy for a stray. Dodging traffic, unfriendly feet and
thrown bottles, a frightened and weary little dog scrambles to find
nourishment where she can and fights to keep her new litter of
vulnerable pups safe from the many perils that linger in Greece's
shadows. There is little mercy here. It's a very hard life for a street
dog, especially for one who once knew the caring of a human. Fierce and
unforgiving, she barks endlessly at the day's many dangers and keens to
the empty darkness of the night, but just as she begins to sink into a
despair that only a dog can feel, the red haired girl appears and life
begins to change.<br />
<br />
It is the spring of 1990. The young American
family boards a ferry, traversing the vast Aegean blue into the Greek
archipelago in pursuit of four months of sun, sea and adventure ... but
just as they begin to settle on an idyllic whitewashed island Eleni,
Harry and 12 year old Lily come face to face with the loud, scruffy
stray who shatters their peace – and their plans. Of course, tender Lily
is drawn to the wild little dog boldly protecting three young pups, and
it's in the wake of their very first meeting that trust begins to take
the place of fear. The dog, Margarita, claims the family as her own and
in turning their attentions to her life on the streets, the plight of
the island's cast-off animals comes into a finely tuned focus. <br />
<br />
Wedged
between the welcoming beauty of sun, sea and antiquity and their
ignorance of a culture just recently coming up for air after years of
oppression, is the family's love for all animals – and it's their caring
for the desperate strays that imposes an unexpected turn on their
blissful holiday. While Eleni, Harry and Lily come to lasting
friendships with locals and an intimacy with the peace and beauty of
their island, they also come face to face with some of the country's
darker secrets. Both the light and the dark get distilled down into one
grand odyssey – several years along a Grecian path cobbled with utter
delight, worries and sorrows and ultimately, with redemption. Along the
way they fall deeply in love, with little Margarita ... with the sea and
it's gorgeous island cloaked in myth and mystery ... with the people
and their vibrant and enigmatic culture ... and with a fisherman,
Vassili, who shelters his own secrets and a potent sadness. In the end,
favored by all of Margarita's little graces, the beautifully revealing
and sometimes painful journey leads not only to the rescue of human
hearts, but also toward recognizing and rectifying the lives of the
homeless animals of Greece’s streets."</div>

Someone just called the shelter to say there was a dog locked in a car at the grocery store. "Go inside and ask them to make an announcement for the owner," I said, "then call animal control at this number." Another call came in from a man who couldn't find his dog the night before. He called the dog to no avail and looked everywhere. Or nearly everywhere. His dog loved to jump in the car, and when the owner put the screen over his car window, he didn't see his dog jump in. Tragically, he discovered his dog the next morning in the car.<br />
<br />
These are horrible stories, and we hope to hear no more of them this summer. But, summer in the Sierra Foothills is HOT and we've outlined a few things to remember about dog safety.<br />

<b> Swimming:</b> Can your dog swim in a fast moving, cold mountain river? Some dogs don't have enough fat on them (think greyhounds or whippets) to stay afloat or regulate their body temperatures. The rivers and streams can still be quite cold, even with our outside temps being in the 90s.<br />
<br />
Some dogs get swept away and drown in fast moving streams or in river areas with strong undertows.<br />

If you enjoy water play with your dog, take a moment to strap on your dog's safety vest. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hot Pavement: </b>We all know our dogs' feet are tough, but are they tough enough to really walk where we won't? Asphalt gets unbelievably hot. Pads softened by playing in water are even more vulnerable to burning. Keep and eye on your dogs feet, and if she gets burned pads, flush with cold water and see your vet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hot Cars: </b>Not the kind that look cool, but the kind that can make your dog seriously ill or worse. You get into your car and can hardly breath because it's so very hot. Even with the windows down, the inside temperature of your car is simply too hot for survival. Unless your dog will NOT be left in the car, he should stay at home. Period. End of story. <br />

<b>Too Much Play: </b>Can lead to heat stroke. Avoid hard play during the hot time (mid-day) of the day. Some dogs simply don't want to stop playing. You'd think they'd know when they're becoming uncomfortable, but they'd rather keep playing or jogging with you. A panting tongue that's out too far, will be your first clue that it's time for a break. Add a kiddy pool to your play time!<br />

<li>Get your dog out of the sun!</li>
<li>Cool your dog with cool water, <i>not ice water</i>. (Very cold water will cause constriction of the blood vessels and impede cooling.)</li>
<li>Place cool, wet cloths on your dog's feet and around his head.</li>
<li>If your dog's temperature is under 103 F degrees, do not try to cool---some dogs can actually get HYPOthermic or too cold if they aren't over-heated.</li>
<li>Offer ice cubes for the animal to lick on until you can reach your veterinarian, but DO NOT force ice or water on your dog.</li>

These are the sweetest kittens and handled so often that they think people are their real moms. <br />
<br />
Many of the volunteers and staff have foster kittens at home, and these babies are being home-grown until their old enough to come to the shelter and be spayed or neutered and adopted.<br />
<br />
While these guys are all adorable and we're uncompromising about finding them good homes, the world would a whole lot less crowded if the parents had been altered. Please come down and adopt a cat, and please, please alter your pets.<br />

A GIANT THANK YOU to all of you who have generously supported the animals over the years.<br />
<br />
We made it through the winter and need to gear up for spring and summer now! There will soon be <span style="color: #cc0000;">100s of unwanted kittens</span> <span style="color: black;">coming to us at the Shelter for care and eventual adoption.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Sammie's Friends runs the Nevada County Animal Shelter where we care for nearly <b>2,000 animals a year</b>! As well, we provide medical care for <b>another 800 animals in our community </b>who desperately need help. We </span><span style="color: black;">provide care for over 30 horses,</span><span style="color: black;"> delivered dog and cat food to North San Juan and Washington for the many hungry animals there, and we paid for over <b>1500 animals to be spayed or neutered </b>over the past year alone. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #cc0000;">
The most costly thing we do at the Shelter is spay/neuter and provide medical care for animals in the shelter and in the community. <span style="color: black;">We see so many animals that have not been care for in years and desperately need our help. Without it, they would continue to be in misery or be euthanized.</span><br />

My husband and I joke that one day we'll come home to find our pit bull terrier, Petie, sitting in the recliner with the remote, watching TV with a beverage. Of course, the other dogs and the cats would be watching TV with him, but they wouldn't have a clue as to how to use the remote or get a cold one from the fridge. <br />
<br />
Pits are smart, or did I already say that. They're also funny, and full of themselves. I don't know of anyone who lives with a pit bull and ISN'T a huge fan of this not-quite-a-breed dog. The term pit bull term is used for most of the bully breeds---American Staffordshire Terrier, Alapaha Blue Blood, Bull Terrier, Bullmastiff, American Pit Bull Terrier, and Staffordshire Terrier. Want to know what the other bully breeds are? Take this link to <a href="http://animal.discovery.com/petsource/bully-breeds/about/breeds-you-should-know.html" target="_blank">Bully Breeds You Should Know</a>. (Surprised to see Boston Terriers there?)<br />

Do you remember Petey from the <i>Our Gang</i>,TV show? He was a good baby sitter to the Little Rascals. He was also a pit bull.<br />

<i>Pit bulls are beautiful in their variety, but their most appealing
features are their inner qualities. Strength, confidence, a sense of
humor and a zest for life are all hallmarks of the breed. They also tend
to be sensitive and get their feelings hurt easily. Properly socialized
dogs are quite affectionate and friendly, even with strangers, and
therefore do not make good guard dogs. They’re intelligent and eager to
please and tend to remain playful throughout their lives. While some can
be low key ‘couch potatoes,’ many others need a job to channel their
enthusiasm and energy. They excel in dog sports, search and rescue work,
drug and bomb detection work, and as therapy dogs. Severe shyness,
fearfulness or human-directed aggression is not characteristic of the
breed and highly undesirable in any dog. </i><br />

The pit has definitely gotten a bad rap. According to Sammie's Friends Animal Shelter Director Cheryl Wicks, pit bulls have been excessively stereotyped, with
media coverage playing the largest role in shaping the public's
misconceptions. She doesn't deny that an out-of-control pit bull is
capable of inflicting great damage to other animals and sometimes
humans, but says that's a very small percentage of pit bull dogs involved in
attacks and should not be used to generalize the breed as a whole. Cheryl
says that statistics show people are at greater risk for injury or death
due to falling, drowning or spousal abuse than they are from dog
attacks.<br />
<br />
<br />
At Sammie's Friends, pits come into the shelter too often. These dogs seldom did
anything to warrant being dumped, but you better believe their feelings
are hurt. You can see it in their expressions.That is, until you start talking to them, then their expressions change into wide grins.<br />
<br />
For more great information about pit bulls, take the link in our blog roll to BadRap.org. I've purposely left out all the negative things we've heard about this group of dogs. But I hope you were open to reading "the rest of the
story," as Paul Harvey used to say. We'd love to hear about your positive interactions with this fabulous group of dogs.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Geneva","sans-serif";">“I will tell you that had we known that
information before we had purchased our bunnies, we would have been more
careful!" said a woman after her two “male”
bunnies had babies and the caretaker was now caring for 10, rather than 2
rabbits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Geneva","sans-serif";">During adolescence and later as an adult, a
rabbit is driven by hormones, compelled to act in ways that are not desirable
for a house companion. He or she isn't being intentionally contrary, just
following Mother Nature's basic urges.
Rabbits must be neutered or they will mark their house with urine. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Geneva","sans-serif";">When you spay or neuter, you do your part to
keep the rabbit population from growing, and
help already-born rabbits find responsible, permanent homes. Even being "purebred" or really
cute doesn't guarantee an animal a loving home or room at a shelter. When shelters and rescue facilities are not
packed with unwanted animals, the perceived value of each companion animal
increases. In a nutshell, to purchase
from a breeder or pet store is to write a death warrant for a shelter rabbit. </span></div>
