Camp Wolfgang, a German Shepherd rescue facility in Ennis (an hour north of Waco) is closing its doors on October 31st.
Many rescued dogs need homes, foster or permanent. Please be sure to forward to family and friends who may have law enforcement, military or animal handling experience as they may have a special place in their hearts for German Shepherds and some of these other dogs.
Current dogs (approximate): 120 German Shepherds; 2 Akitas; 1 Anatolian/Great Pyrenees; 4 Purebred Rottweilers; 1 Great Dane/Lab; 1 Boxer/Mastiff; 1 St. Bernard/Akita; 1 Wolf Dog; 45 Other mixed
All the dogs are vetted, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, well cared-for and many have had training. There are approximately 200 dogs that must find homes, foster or permanent, before October 31, or they will have no choice but to euthanize them. Please forward this information to everyone you know...if we all forward this to everyone we know, chances are good that many of these dogs can be saved! They do not need or want donations, they simply MUST place all of the dogs. Adoption fees are $75.00, but no charge to verifiable rescue groups.
If you know anyone who can adopt, foster or accept a dog into a current rescue group, contact Neisha Livengood, Kennel Master at Camp Wolfgang.

LOL CATZ and Average Cats
Here are a couple of amusing websites/blogs. The LOL CATs is a fad that has really taken off where people add their own captions to photos of cats. This has been done with dogs and humans and every other photo imaginable. In case you don't know, lol stands for "lots of laughs" in "texting language"
Here is an example from http://www.thelolcats.com/
Another site is http://icanhascheezburger.com/ and this site allows you to write your own captions.
In a kind of opposition to this caption writing is http://averagecats.com/ which changes these captions to what the cat may be doing really and explains that cats can't really do the things which are claimed in the captions. I thought this was a simple but witty idea - stating the obvious, but pretty funny.
I hope you enjoy

repost: Bring Delilah Home!
I am posting this again since they have another month to reach their goal. This is from the blog, Project: Bring Delilah Home
Hello everyone, As many of you know, my brother-in-law is serving his second tour overseas and we are trying to help him raise money for a very special and personal project.
While Matt and his unit were walking through Jagori, (a small village in the mountains) Afghanistan he noticed a small white puppy on the side of the road. The puppy promptly fell into line and has been with Matt and his unit ever since. Everyone has been working with Delilah (on her basic puppy manners) and she's doing really well. My brother loves her and just can't imagine leaving her behind.
To say that animals have a hard life overseas is unfortunately a huge understatement. We have started researching all the red tape involved in this process and now we are grateful to say we have received direction and help from the Tigger House (in Kabul , Afghanistan ).
The Tigger House is a shelter and rescue for cats and dogs in Afghanistan . They provide veterinary care for animals and provide a safe place for them for to be adopted.The Tigger House has also been helping transport animals out of Afghanistan for a number of years with great success and they have responded to our request for help with Delilah.
The process for bringing Delilah home with Matt is expensive. We estimate the basic cost to be approximately $3,500.00. This will cover her mandatory shots, customs paperwork, crate and shipping supplies and a plane ticket to the New York (The ticket to Austin , TX will be anadditional cost). We know money is tight for everyone, but if you are able to chip in a little we would be sincerely grateful. Any additional or unused funds will be given to the Tigger House as a small you for all that they do. So in short, Matt is a good person who is trying to do a good thing and provide a (much) better life for this puppy; he just needs a little support. Please chip in what you can.
With many, many thanks, Laura O. Fleming (Please continue to pray for the safety and well being our troops and their families-worldwide.)

Save America's Wolves
Below is a plea from the Defenders of Wildlife
Starting September 1st, Idaho could host the greatest wolf massacre since the 1930s -- with as many as 70 guns trained on each of Idaho’s estimated 1,000 wolves.
Please help us STOP THE DEADLY WOLF HUNT.
This could be the worst wolf massacre in the Lower 48 United States since the 1930s. Hundreds of defenseless wolves will be shot, with many surviving wolf pups left to starve to death. Unless we stop it.
We’ve won the fight for wolves in court before, and we can do it again. Last year,Defenders of Wildlife and our allies convinced a federal judge to stop wolf killing in Wyoming and secured a reprieve for wolves in the Northern Rockies. Now we need your help to win again for our wolves.
Idaho’s wolf hunting season is scheduled to begin in just 14 days. Please make a tax-deductible donation right now to help fund our legal fight and national mobilization campaign to save wolves in Idaho and Greater Yellowstone.
With the lives of so many wolves hanging in the balance, Defenders of Wildlife needs your support to prevent the worst wolf massacre in decades. I hope we can count on your support.
For the Wild Ones,
Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife
P.S. These wolves don’t have much time -- the Idaho wolf hunting season begins in just 14 days. Please make a secure donation online today to support our legal fight and other efforts to save wildlife or call 1-800-385-9712 to contribute over the phone.
