Leave it to Animal Services to find that perfect day for your new little future fur baby to tug on your heart strings. It’s a great time to big home a new family member so instead of hitting the club scene or singles mixer why not opt for some unconditional love from a dog or cat? At least they won’t hog the remote, tell you you’ve gained weight, make you take out the trash, or force you to go shopping. Now that’s true love ;-)
Remember, for alot of these pets it’s their last chance to find a home so please ADOPT ADOPT ADOPT and save their lives on Valentine’s Day Sunday the 14th…

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Residents in some Florida counties could soon get a knock on their door from a young sales person, but they won’t be offering seeds, wrapping paper or cookies.
In 18 Florida counties, local 4-H club members will be selling a variety of pet treats for dogs, horses and cats to raise money to support their clubs. The pet treats sales will last from October 6 – 26, 2009 in time for families to receive their treats before the Christmas holiday.
Many 4-H clubs have successfully raised funds with 4-H branded pet treats over the past two years and the idea has been gaining momentum.
“It gives people in our community an opportunity to buy a high-quality treat for pets while supporting a good cause,” said Liz Piquet, volunteer leader for the Crazy 4 Canines 4-H club. “Our youth raised $1,000 last year selling the treats. They learned basic fundraising and sales skills while telling others about 4-H.”
Other Florida 4-H clubs selling the treats include Broward, Charlotte, Citrus, Clay, Duval, Gadsden, Lafayette, Liberty, Manatee, Marion, Nassau, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Polk, Santa Rosa, St. Johns, St. Lucie and St. Johns counties and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
The treats are supplied by Best In Show Pet Treats. The Louisville, Ky.-based company has worked closely with hundreds of 4-H groups testing and refining the program. The treats sell for $4 per package and are made in the U.S.
As part of the annual fundraising campaign, 4-H members will also offer customers the opportunity to donate a package of pet treats to a wide variety of animal rescue organizations across the country, including a special partnership donating treats to military working dogs through SupportOurTroops.org
“4-H members have donated countless packages of pet treats to animal shelters, humane societies, horse and dog rescue groups, animal therapy organizations, police K-9 units, police mounted patrols, and even military working dogs serving in Iraq,” said Jeanne Hilt, president of Best In Show Pet Treats.

(MIAMI, July 27, 2009) – In an enormous collaborative effort, on Sunday, July 26th, Miami-Dade Animal Services joined forces with local veterinarian, Dr. Mike Tenzer of South Beach Animal Hospital, The Cat Network, Inc. and SOBE Spay/Neuter to spay & neuter 74 feral and stray cats in Miami Beach. The cats were also vaccinated against rabies.
“It was an honor for South Beach Animal Hospital to host this unprecedented event in Miami Beach to help reduce the cat overpopulation. As part of this community, I felt compelled to be part of this initiative and help control the feral cat colonies in Miami Beach,” said Dr. Mike Tenzer, owner of South Beach Animal Hospital.
The successful event was sponsored by Intervet/Schering Plough, who paid for the pharmaceuticals and local veterinarians and technicians donated their time. Volunteers from The Cat Network and SOBE Spay/Neuter who helped trap the feral cats and cared for their post surgical recovery that made this event possible and a success.
“There is an overpopulation crisis in our community of companion animals and we look forward to creating more collaborative partnerships in the future. We are thrilled with the success of this event”, reported Dr. Sara Pizano, Director of Miami-Dade Animal Services.
Miami-Dade Animal Services is responsible for enforcing Chapter V, as well as Florida Statutes 828, which deals primarily with animal cruelty issues. Unlike private shelters that have limitations on the number of pets they accept, Animal Services accepts all dogs and cats. Each year, the shelter impounds more than 34,000 pets. The goal at Animal Services is to reunite lost pets with their families or find life-long homes for as many animals as possible. Related links: www.miamidade.gov/animals or call 311

The communities of Cutler and Palmetto Bay are breathing a sigh a relief now that the 18 year old cat killer Tyler Weinman has been arrested on 19 counts of Animal Cruelty. Since he is 18 that opens the gates for him to be charged as an adult with each cat murder carrying a 6 month in prison term. If punished to the full extent he would be in prison for close to 10 years.
Many hope that this will bring the killings to an end, but there are those who wonder if he acted alone. We have forwarded and will continue to forward any information or suspicious blog activity to the authorities. We find any such cruelty or praise of animal cruelty to be despicable. It was said that his own activities on social networking sites are what brought him to the attention of authorities. If he does have accomplices we hope that justice swiftly finds and imprisons them as well…
An early morning statement by State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle:
”Our communities of Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay have been on edge for many weeks now because of the horrific and unspeakable slaughterings of many of their beloved feline pets,” it said.
“I sincerely hope that with his arrest, the residents will feel relieved and their cats will be safe once again. It is expected that the vicious crimes that have plagued these communities will not be repeated.”
