Hero Dog Leo saves four Kittens!

Thank you WhatMeWorry for sending this YouTube Video! What an amazing little guy! Good boy Leo :)
"A dog has risked its life to protect four kittens trapped in a house fire in Melbourne, Australia.

Firefighters found Leo guarding the kittens which were in a cardboard box in one of the bedrooms.
When the fire broke out inside the house, the family of four plus their other dog managed to escape.


However Leo paid the price for his bravery. He succumbed to the smoke and heat.
Firefighters rushed the dog to safety and revived the unconscious Leo with a heart massage and oxygen."

Travel West to a Meaningful Sanctuary

Sometimes when you read the news you wonder what is wrong with some people. But then I like to find the news that reminds you what is right with people. Folks work very hard and when they take vacations they would have every reason to want to just rest. I love so much that some, go to help.

Animal lovers who love to travel the West will like this: L.A. Times' readers nominated the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in southwest Utah as one of the best "Secret Spots of the West" in this week's Travel section.

Times' staff writer Hugo Martín paints us a picture of the place:
Angel Canyon, a postcard-perfect, rust-colored sandstone canyon outside of Kanab, Utah, is home to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, said to be the country's largest no-kill animal shelter.

Amid these 33,000 acres of sand, juniper and sagebrush, volunteers and sanctuary workers have built air-conditioned shelters, offices, banquet halls and outdoor enclosures to house and care for up to 2,000 abandoned animals, including horses, goats, pigs, birds, dogs, cats and rabbits. The rescued animals include 22 dogs confiscated from NFL quarterback Michael Vick's kennels in the Virginia dog-fighting case.

Muggles for Mutts on Saturday

The Humane Society of Sarasota County will host its most magical event of the year Saturday, Aug. 23, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2331 15th St., Sarasota.
Prepare to step into the wizarding world of Harry Potter for the first "Muggles for Mutts" adoption event. There will be amazing adoption specials on HSSC's homeless dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, rabbits and other pets. All dog and cat adoptions will be just $45!

The goal is to have as many pets as possible disappear from the shelter and magically appear in great homes with qualified adopters. Those not ready for a pet to appear in their homes just now are still invited to stop by for the wizardly fun.
You can get a kiss from your favorite Potter pooch; enjoy spectacular face painting; visit with interesting vendors and animal groups; and dine on magically grilled hot dogs and burgers, delicious dragon chips and unicorn soda.

Enjoy a tour of the shelter and HSSC’s new mobile adoption center. Also, be sure to bring a photo of your pet for a reading with Psychic to the Pets Lori Michel. If you come in costume as your favorite "Harry Potter" character, you will receive a prize.
All those in attendance may also enter a mystical raffle for a chance to win a copy of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" signed by U.S. illustrator Mary GrandPré!

Muggles for Mutts is the perfect way to enjoy fun "Harry Potter"-themed activities while finding a best friend from among HSSC’s many animals in need of good homes. The Humane Society of Sarasota County invites all Muggles to attend this wizardly event for Harry Potter fans and animal lovers of all ages.

Proceeds from this unique day will benefit HSSC’s Education Program. For more information, call Kate or Dee in HSSC's Education Department at (941) 955-4131.

Heroes Save Kittens in Fay's Waves

Four helpless kittens nearly fell victim to the wrath of Tropical Storm Fay Thursday until some big-hearted Georgians came to their rescue.
The furballs were stranded on some rocks on Georgia's St. Simons Island, where the rising tides threatened to sweep them away.
Now they're headed for a shelter.

"One of them is going to end up being named Fay," said good Samaritan Trish Wooten. Joyce Matthews was one animal lover who braved crashing waves to pull the soaked kittens to safety.
Fay has pounded the coast for four days, driving alligators and snakes out of their swamps and onto streets in Florida.
The storm, which claimed 20 lives in the Caribbean and two in Florida, is expected to gradually weaken as it moves west. via

THANK YOU for helping Angel the Hero Dog!

Remember Angel the Hero Dog in this post yesterday?

I have been writing news agencies and TV news sites and finally an hour ago the AP released THIS STORY

It's being picked up all over the web! Not only will Angel probably have MANY people wanting to adopt her but also the kittens and many other animals at the shelter will get a chance for homes.

Thanks to all who helped spread this amazing story around! It's not just about the Hero Dog Angel but also about raising awareness that shelter pets are amazing creatures too! :)

Angel is an Angel, Pit Bull-boxer Saves Box of Kittens!

Angel is hoping for a home of her own too! Please see the info at the end if you can give this hero doggy her own home and let her be your new best friend!


Nevada Humane Society Rescue dog rescues six abandoned kittens left in a box hidden in some bushes.
Angel, a pit bull-boxer mix, was rescued by the humane society recently after her previous owners were forced to leave her behind when they moved.
On one particular day while taking an afternoon walk with two volunteers from the shelter, Angel picked up a scent from some bushes. She dragged her walkers to the area of the scent where it was soon discovered six 3-week-old kittens, bright as a bunch of oranges, huddled together in a box.

When human society staff were called to the scene, one kitten escaped but that did not stop Angel making one more rescue. She led one of the volunteers to the wayward kitten where it was safely reunited with its brothers and sisters.
Angel is a sweet, playful dog who can now add hero to her repertoire.

If you would like to adopt Angel, foster the six rescued kittens, or donate so other dogs and cats can be rescued, please call 775-856-2000 or email info@nevadahumanesociety.org.

You can also visit Angel at Nevada Humane Society, Longley Lane, Reno, NV, 89502 everyday from 11 am to 6:30 p.m. and from 10 a.m. on Saturdays. Donations are tax deductible.

Bratz Design Academy with Zoe Salmon coming in Oct

What an adventure for kids. How proud the winners will be when their designs become a REAL Bratz doll! I would have loved this kind of thing when I was a kid. What a great start to a budding fashion designer too. Break a Needle Everybody! :)

All the details (that can be shared right now :) ) here!

Premiering on Nickelodeon in the fall: "Bratz Design Academy," a "Project Runway"-type competition in which contestants design and show outfits.
Twelve children (girls and boys aged from nine to 14) will compete in teams of two to prove their abilities as fashion designers. The winners will be flown to Los Angeles to design new outfits for the Bratz dolls.
“Bratz Design Academy will be the biggest entertainment event for kids this season,” said Ron Brawer, President of MGA Entertainment. “We wanted to create a show which was original, empowering and interactive, and this totally represents what Bratz are all about – friendship, self expression and creativity for all boys and girls, wherever they’re from.”

Ratty Baby!

More Ratsy goodness here on Spooky Saturday. Maybe you saw this I certainly didn't! How cute is this!!

The pet cat that's adopted a baby rat!
A pet cat’s maternal instinct has made her overlook the fact that one of the youngsters she’s nursing happens to be a baby rat.
According to the Qilu Evening Post, the cat’s owner Sun Shujun, of Yantai City, China, reveals that the rodent has been living along with the cat ever since the feline gave birth to four kittens last month.

And, the rat not only nurses alongside the kittens, but also plays with them, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The moggy also makes sure that the rodent does not feel left out by treating it rat exactly as she does her kittens. via
