On May 20th a Very Inspirational Pet crossed Rainbow Bridge. She was a rescue pet in a very special rescue "gang." Meiko's human is inspired. She helps all in need who cross her path. She has helped all manner of souls from Katrina people to Katrina pets, from Shetland sheep dogs to Shetland sheep, from L.A. L.A. Land to LA land, from Mastiff to Doxie, helping countless lost dogs and lost people. Thank you to Meiko for a spirit that graces an uncountable number of souls.
For those who wish to make a donation in Meiko's name, any size gift would be very significant and appreciated. Please visit Companion Pet Adoption and mail your tax-deductible gift to that 501(c)3 organization at: P.O. Box 19755, New Orleans, LA 70179. Visit Meiko's Dogster page to see her photos and to read the poem her mom placed there A MILLION TIMES I WILL CRY...
Mei can also be honored by eating Sadie Cookies --- delicious, homemade, healthy treats, that the dogs will do just about any trick in the book for. All proceeds go to help Sadie’s sister Hope (see Hope's Dogster page) --- a special rescued doggie who has undergone extensive orthopedic surgeries, and more are still needed. WOOF!

Subject: Mack the "Mature" Pit... DONATION NEEDED!!
Please help forward and crosspost for Mack... thanks!
Meet Mack the "Mature" pit. Mack's life changed drastically once his owners who had him for 10 years had to turn him into the shelter because they were moving. Poor Mack has been at the shelter since April and due to his age and breed no one has shown interest in him. Thankfully for Mack, Fresno Bully rescue stepped up to save him!!! YEY!! Fresno Rescue is a wonderful new rescue and take great care of their dogs. They offered to take Mack and as a "thank you" we want to raise some money for them. If you can donate to help with Mack's care, please email me at HEB218 AT YAHOO.COM and I will let you know where and when to send it. THANK YOU!

A Tribute on MEMORIAL DAY to our Forgotten Heroes
In fierce fighting and deep in enemy territory, American pigeons carried life-or-death messages that radio and field phones could not.
Do you know that pigeons saved the lives of thousands of people during World War 1 and World War 11. Medals were bestowed upon the following pigeons for acts of bravery and for saving the lives of thousands of humans.

Stockton CA: Foreclosure capital of America. 2 sweet orphan dogs. Pls RESCUE THEM ASAP
Please save these two or crosspost their info--- Lucky and This Dog need out of high-kill Stockton Shelter in central California. Contact Volunteer Sue at dansuemosby@comcast.net or the shelter ASAP. 
There were 186 records posted per the City of Stockton Animal Control Petharbor webpage yesterday. I don't know why these two cuties were impounded but their chances of rehoming are diminished by their being in the "Foreclosure Capital of America (so-called per 60 Minutes*). Volunteer Sue Mosby has highlighted these two for crossposting to help them get rescue. Please save them if you can or crosspost further to someone who may be able to rescue them. Call Stockton Animal Shelter at (209) 937-8274 -- Ask for information about animal ID numbers A118369 and A118302.
LUCKY - ID#A118369 My name is LUCKY. I am a female, black Border Collie and Chow Chow. My age is unknown. I have been at the shelter since May 20, 2008*Steve Kroft reported on 60 Minutes:Stockton is a city of 280,000 people in the Central Valley; 80 miles east of San Francisco and 80 miles north of San Jose. In many ways, this is ground zero for the current financial crisis and a microcosm of everything that went wrong.
A few years ago, it was one of the hottest real estate markets in the country; today it is the foreclosure capital of America.

Greenwood, SC. - Wolf-Dog needs rescue/sanctuary!
I have a pretty wide network of wolf/hybrid rescues and sanctuaries, and usually have good luck finding spots for these critters. But this time I am out of options.
I've been trying to find a rescue or sanctuary for a critter that has stolen the heart of the manager at the Greenwood, SC, shelter, and I have come up with nothing!
This is a very sweet, submissive, white Wolf-hybrid (percentage unknown), but appears to be Low Wolf content) female.
She has spent her short life in a little pen with two other hybrids; only since arriving at the shelter, has she learned to love playing with toys, and having people be nice to her. She is shy, but has a sweet personality. She is HW+, but otherwise healthy. Angie, the Greenwood shelter manager, really wants to find a spot for this girl, so she doesn't have to euth her. Any ideas??

This boy is located at the Hancock County dog pound in Carthage, IL. I am not real sure what mix he is exactly, I am just guessing, hound mix. He is VERY sweet and affectionate!!! He is about 40 pounds at the most, med sized, no aggression, seems fine with other dogs, great with kids and is about 3 years old. He is very submissive and calm and quiet, he whines some but I have yet to hear him bark. He is a stray, looks like he has been on his own for awhile now so he only has till this end of this week. If he isn't rescues, he will be euthanized. Please if you can help sponsor/foster/or rescue, contact me at westhancockk9@mchsi.com mchsi.com ASAP!! Transport to Chicago is available. Thank you, Anissa

LosAngeles:Affectionate and loyal Top Dog Teddy, a medium ShepX, needs loving in a home environment
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Jeanne Develle <jdevelle@gmail.com>
Date: May 20, 2008 10:23 AM
Subject: Teddy
Meet Teddy! he was rescued by a rescue group 2 years ago and the poor fellow STILL is in boarding (a caged life) after all this time. He so yearns to be around people and get hugs, pets, kisses from any human. He is about 6-7 years old and a mid-sized shepherd mix, not that big. He does like to be the top dog so the ideal home would be with someone who does not have any other pets - maybe someone that loves dogs but doesnt want to make the commitment of adopting one, but can offer alot of love to a needy soul. He is so affectionate and loyal - he deserves a home environment after being abandoned at the shelter, then living in a cage for so long. he does not need much and is not high energy. he'll just appreciate a yard, a warm bed, a few pets and walks. We will afford all medical, you are just the home and the love. can you help Teddy live his life in a home and not behind bars finally, once and for all? Please call Steff Paige or email her at steffpaige AT aol.com to give this guy a happy ending. Steff's phone number is 310.497.0472
