I hear or see this question a lot. Now I have an easy way to answer these questions and more! The ASPCA has put together a very thorough Puppy Mill FAQ. Please put this link on your site and share it around!
Here he is post injection with the vet. He is doing well so far. Two more shots to go in the next two months. He has hookworms too but those are easily treated at least!
We did not meet our goal of $300.00 but we go pretty close. I am going to leave the ChipIn? widget active through the duration of his treatment just in case someone decides to make a donation :)
In some countries, armed dog control officers randomly shoot dogs in crowded streets. If not killed instantly, the dogs end up wounded and left to die. Shooting, drowning, hanging, and electrocution are just some of the ways countries, particularly those ravaged by war, famine or political upheaval, use to control stray dog populations. Not only are these methods barbaric, they prove ineffective as the stray dog numbers continue to increase around the world.
With your help, we can fight the bloodshed. WSPA is already providing much needed mobile clinics fitted with equipment and medical supplies, so dogs receive proper care in rural communities. We're also educating governments and owners on practical solutions like sterilization training and compulsory registration. But as you can imagine, there's so much more to be done. By donating $14 a month to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, you can become a member of the Animal Rescue Team and help save stray dogs and other animals from cruelty.
Giving each month is important because it takes time, money and persistence to lobby governments to achieve legislation that outlaws the cruelty of animals. It helps build and establish sanctuaries to rehabilitate the animals you help rescue, and change attitudes to animal welfare through education of children and communities. What’s more, we need your support to help answer urgent calls for acts of such cruelty around the world.
Do You Love Animals?Another cute video of Chance playing with mommy. We stopped over to see him this afternoon because Teresa's Jeep broke down and left her stranded. She called a tow truck and we took her home.
With donations we currently have $160 towards Chance's heartworm treatment. We still need another $140 to cover the cost of strating his treatment.

Animal abuse is linked to deep psychological problems and often is the precursor to sociopathic behavior. Cheyenne's cavalier and flip attitude in regard to what she did is really disturbing.
