gabby, the ent-cat looks for more tasty hobbits

choosing pet supply stores - this is why we don't sell pets.

"love him or hate him, Fido is changing american society -- in ways municipal and medical, emotional and economic, social and scientific -- as never before." we are a nation of pet-lovers!

this lucky kitty survived a bullet to the face and still manages to love people. it is always amazing how tenacious the spirit of a cat can be.

stem cells are being used to help degenerative illness in animals - science is a remarkable thing, especially when we are using it to help those who can not help themselves.

"no, we don't sell pets"


in a move to stomp out puppy mills and improve the city's image, south lake tahoe is one step away from banning the sale of dogs and cats in retail stores. many of the animals one sees in specialty puppy and kitten stores are from high-volume, inhumane "breeders" and the idea is to stop the practice by hitting them where it hurts - their pocket books. if no one buys puppy mill dogs they will eventually have to go out of business.

there are countless animals available for adoption at shelters all across the country. these animals need love, too. and you never know, the animal you save may end up saving you someday.

now if only we could get a ban like this in our own progressive community...
