TLC Newsletter - June 23, 2010
Back to the
newsletter page
SO many
things have been going on in the past few
months, it is extremely hard to keep up with
them all. We passed our 1st year
anniversary at the beginning of this month and
it was a real treat for us to have so many
come by with their pooches to say "Howdy" the
past few weeks.
P.A.P.A. and
P.A.P.A.'s Flying Squadron: In the
weeks since this organization began in May and
a few rescues got behind the movement, over
100 dogs have left the Camarillo shelter and
found their furever homes in Boston,
Manhattan, Oregon, Washington and San Rafael,
CA. You might recognize our
Snickers as the spokesperson for the
Flying Squadron. The Camarillo shelter
is filled to the max every day - there are
just too many dogs coming in and not enough
being adopted out. Transports out to
parts of the country who don't have these
small breeds is but a band-aid solution (and
expensive), but it does free up a bit of space
for the larger breed dogs which take longer to
get adopted. Please pass the word to
friends and family that by shopping and not
adopting, great dogs are having to die all the
time in our nation's shelters.
ChinChin's
Wheelie - You might have noticed our home
page now has ChinChin listed as our featured
pet. We normally don't rescue this
breed, but we could not let him die. You
can read his blog
HERE and watch his progress... the next
step is to get him a wheelie of his own, then
get him up and mobile. What a sweetie he
is... He comes every Saturday to adoptions in
the pink and black doggie stroller - not his
color, but he never complains!
BabyLove
(now known as "Viva"): Many people fell in
love with BabyLove when we worked so hard to
get her healthy... A few weeks ago her furever
parents came by adoptions with her and it was
SO rewarding to see her progress - she went
from
THIS in January to
THIS six months later (scroll down to
see her most recent photos)... This is the
stuff that keeps us in rescue going...
Eros and
Venus: And now, following along
behind BabyLove's legacy is Eros and Venus...
CAUTION - graphic images when we first found
them in a shelter (HERE)
and this is the progress they have made
HERE in about 2 weeks. HERE is
their blog and although they are about a month
away from being able to go up for adoption,
you might want to keep up with their progress
along the way too!
Available
dogs: We always have more dogs that
come into rescue - see the list
HERE if you are thinking about
adopting or know of someone thinking about
adding a canine companion to their home and
lifestyle.
Are you
our next foster mom or dad?: All of the
TLC dogs are fostered in our homes and the
number of dogs we can save is in direct
proportion to the number of foster moms and
dads we have. We are ALWAYS needing
fosters and if this is something you have been
considering for awhile, now is the time to
step up and do it. The summer months are
coming and the number of dogs in the shelters
sky rocket through this time of year. We
provide the medical care - you provide the
love and TLC. More on fostering
HERE.
REMEMBER ALWAYS
TO ADOPT AND NOT SHOP! THE
DOGS WILL THANK YOU FOR IT!
This is an
opt-in newsletter, so you're free to come and

be with us for a very long time. Feel
free to pass on our newsletters to other
dog lovers... and encourage them to visit us
as well! If you like to suggest a topic
