TLC
2010 Calendar Contest: We've
had a late entry into next year's calendar
contest... Sarah and her daughter, Tequila,
are both now entered with Sarah in the lead at
90 votes, Annie with 60, Tequila at 30, Kahuna
with 18 and Scudders with 12 - remember it is
a dollar a vote for 6 votes for $5.00 (and
your votes are tax deductible donations).
You can see all the entries
HERE and the calendar contest has its own
blog
HERE to keep up with the competition... In
our mind, ALL of these TLC dogs are winners
for they got through this state's shelter
system and found their great FUREVER homes!

the Greenies fans (and we use a LOT of them
for the TLC fosters LOVE this product), you
can now get a $2.00 off coupon at the Greenies
website located
HERE... and it is printable off your own

LA
Announces Dog Fighting Tip Line:
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s
Office launched a 24-hour tip line for local
residents to report dogfighting. Those
who call the tip line (877-NO2-FITE) and
provide information about a dogfighting ring,
an upcoming dogfight or an individual who is
involved in dogfighting will be able to
collect up to $5,000 if the information leads
to the arrest or conviction of individuals
involved.

Royal
Canin: We have been
asked many times why we highly recommend Royal
Canin and they now have a great
webpage on their site that explains this
in a concise and simplified fashion...
Personal experience has shown us great results
when shelter dogs were put on Royal Canin #28
(less poop to clean up too and it doesn't seem
to stink as bad either!).
Have
you voted for TLC yet? We're
up to 23 votes now on the
website, but the nicest thing has been to
read some of the compliments people have
entered as they are voting... Thank you one
and all for your support! For sure, Best
Friends will win the $10K (and deservedly so!
for all the great work they do), but it is an
honor to see people have voted for TLC as
well!
Ventura County
Shelter: Great strides have been made at
the shelter in the recent months since Monica
Nolan has taken over. There are
expanded hours now and we urge you to
support the shelter this upcoming holiday
season and adopt, NOT shop! The petshops
rely on the holiday buying season for 51 to
72% of their TOTAL income for the ENTIRE year!
Buying at a petshop does NOT guarantee you a
great dog.... and speaking of petshops...
Millie Vanillie of Kansas:
Recently, TLC took an Chihuahua puppy that was
bought at a local Simi Valley petshop.
Read Millie's saga - it is a fantastic example
and factual documentation of just how twisted
things have become in the multi-billion dollar
business of producting puppies:
The
Microchip Mess: During
a recent newsletter, we made the statement
that if a microchip is not registered and
activated, simply having one implanted had no
more value than a piece of rice. Two new
websites regarding this same topic have become
part of the Internet -
read the results when we tested them.

Local Dog Parks: Always make
sure your dog is up-to-date on their shots,
remember that not all dogs at a dog park will
be, bring your own water and water bowl
(keeping other dogs from drinking out of your
dog's water bowl) and have fun with your
canine companion at one of the local dog
parks!

TLC's
Wish List: Please
remember TLC when you begin thinking about
your holiday gifts - your gifts today can save
a shelter dog tomorrow!
Wish List

TO ADOPT AND NOT SHOP! THE
DOGS WILL THANK YOU FOR IT!
