NOTICE TO ALL THOSE ON S.P.A.'s MAILING LIST: You may have noticed in the S.P.A.'s 2012 Newsletter that you recently received that the last sentence is missing in "An Old Man and his Dog" story. You can print out the corrected version of this story, if you wish, by downloading the online version at right.

The final paragraph should have read, "Nope. I can see how you might think so, but it actually saves us a lot of time. They screen out the people who are willing to leave their best friends behind."

WHO'S WHO IN ANIMAL RESCUE?

There are hundreds of humane societies across the U.S. and they have no connection with each other. Some are no kill organizations, some aren't. Some are non-profit, 501(c)3 organizations, others are not. Some humane societies are actually part of their county's paid employees, but most humane societies are locally formed, independent organizations and are comprised of unpaid volunteers. Most volunteer-based organizations rely on contributions of volunteers and private donations. Each organization sets up its own rules and guidelines. CLICK READ MORE BELOW!

Pregnant Penny Rescued from Pound by S.P.A. Big Hoss, Dominic, Hannah and Amelia are now available for adoption. CHECK OUT THEIR PHOTOS by clicking READ MORE below!

Penny was kept at the Sandusky County Pound for quite some time because she was such a nice girl. The warden notified S.P.A. that she was pregnant and due to deliver soon, and there was no way the pound could take proper care of Penny and her newborn puppies as the pound was filling up with other dogs. Penny and her puppies are now available for adoption. She delivered her puppies three days after she settled into her very special foster home, where she and her puppies have been given top notch care for the past 10 weeks.

Check out the New Photos of Penny's Pups! Beautiful Spaniel Mixes Eager to Find Forever Homes!

Professional Photographer Jackie Wilson, of Jak of Arts, recently captured great shots of Hannah, Dominic, Amelia and Big Hoss in action! These 16 week old puppies are eager to find forever homes. Check out their new photos by clicking READ MORE below. THANK YOU, JACKIE, FOR CAPTURING THESE GREAT SHOTS OF PENNY'S PUPPIES! And a huge thanks to foster mom, Lisa, who agreed to foster a very pregnant "Penny", the puppies' mother, when the pound was full and said Penny had to go. SPA rescued Penny from the pound and drove her to Lisa's, north of Columbus, where Penny delivered her precious puppies three days later. Lisa and her husband have been excellent foster parents! Penny was adopted by an A+ perfect home in Toledo, where her new human mama and her new brothers and sisters are living the high life!

Four Rescued Dogs Earning Bachelor's Degree!

Four mighty special dogs who S.P.A. rescued from the Sandusky County Dog Pound are studying to earn their Bachelor's degree, thanks to Buchele's K-9 Service, LLC who are now offering a wonderful training program called C.L.A.S.S.! These special classes teach rescued dogs basic training making adjustment to their new families easier, not only for them, but for the new families, too.

S.P.A. wants to remind everyone that dogs just as wonderful as these four are at The Sandusky County Dog Pound right now! When the pound becomes full... dogs there are euthanized to make room for the steady influx of innocent castways.

Companion Animals aren't disposable, non-entities. Human beings and dogs require food and water to survive and we are similar in other ways, too. Dogs and cats are able to feel pain, rejection and lonliness as well as a sense of happiness when they receive unconditional love. They're not a toy or a video game. THEY FEEL AND THEY THINK, TOO.

S.P.A. Rescued Dogs Receive Bachelor's Degree in C.L.A.S.S. Program!

Buchele's K-9 Service, LLC is Offering Four S.P.A. Dogs Rescued from the Dog Pound a Chance to Earn their BA (Bachelor's Degree) in 'Canine Life and Social Skills (C.L.A.S.S.) program!"

HELP US HELP THEM!

S.P.A. works 'round the clock rescuing animals in need. Many of the animals we take under our wing not only require regular vetting: spay/neuter, innoculations, testing, worming, etc. BUT often require treatment for broken bones, URI's, dentals (that's right, we rescue senior animals, too!).

Pat Molyet, an independent animal rescuer, died three months ago. Her four beloved cats need to find new placement immediately!

Pat's home is being sold and Pat would so want her beloved feline friends to be placed in very special homes! Please read about Joey, Honeyboy, Trixie and Sassy by clicking below! Pat is worried about her babies, and until they're safely placed, she won't rest in peace. These kitties meant the world to her.

Patricia Molyet was a very compassionate and loving woman who rescued many cats from the streets of Fremont, Ohio. When she saw a cat suffering she could not look the other way. Unfortunately, Pat passed away on November 12 due to complications from Juvenal Diabetes and infection from the MRSA virus, and now her four cats need to find loving homes that will care for them in the same way Pat cared for them... with plenty of one-on-one and lots of love.

S.P.A.'s VIEWPOINT

It is everyone's responsibility to make a difference.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!

S.P.A. is in URGENT Need of Loving Foster homes.

I.M. Trunk's THOUGHTS OF THE DAY

"In the end, whether or not we are eternal is irrelevant to the course of our lives. If the earth is a better place because I walked upon it, that's enough for me. I will be eternal if my presence here enriches life in a way that continues on beyond my physical existence." ~I.M. Trunk
