Pit bull kills 3 year old boy
1216847792|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Tony Evans Jr. was killed after he wandered close to a chained pit bull on Tuesday at a home at 112 Maple Ridge Drive, according to the boy's uncle Ray Powell. The dog was able to reach Evans and bit him in the abdomen. Powell said that the dog's owner and two family members were watching the boy Tuesday evening. During a news conference on Wednesday, Assistant Police Chief Gerald Jones said that the boy's parents and the owner of the dog had been questioned, but that it was not a criminal matter. Police said that an officer had to shoot the dog in self-defense. The pit bull survived the shooting and was recovered by the Animal Control Unit. The dog was quarantined on Wednesday at the Jackson animal control headquarters. The owner of the dog didn't violate any city ordinances because the dog was chained and confined to the property, Jones said. Animal control will conduct an investigation to determine if the pit bull should be labeled a dangerous dog, Jones said. If labeled a dangerous dog, the pit bull can be euthanized, or the owner can be required to follow several stipulations, which are outlined in the city's dangerous dog ordinance. Evans' cousin Shelby Moore said that the pit bull should be euthanized because it could attack again. "Kill the dog and get the other ones from over there," Moore said. "That could have happened to anybody. It could have happened to their children or to them."

Fatal Animal Abuse, Sick Puppy Left to Starve in Yard FL
1216833185|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
This poor fella was found Wed. July 16, 2008 lying in a yard near the paper mill in Cantonment. He was starving, dehydrated, his distended belly was full of parasites, his gums were pale, he was weak, he has mange/ringworm, etc. He could barely walk. He was left there to DIE. How could anyone leave a puppy to starve to death in their yard? Oh yeah, I had these same folks busted in Nov. '06 for the SAME THING! I called Escambia County Animal Control on them for cruelty/neglect and the owner was arrested. They allowed a chained puppy with no shelter, food, or water, to starve. They had another puppy chained to a fence with no food, water, or shelter. Escambia County Animal Control came out back then and took the puppies. The emaciated one died from his condition in the shelter. The other one was euthanized after the court case. He would have been euthanized anyway since the county doesn't adopt out pit bulls. Obviously, these folks didn't get the message the first time. I was NOT going to give them another chance to get away with torture! I was not going to allow a repeat of those tragedies. I whisked the puppy away from that yard and took him home for medical treatment and FOOD. He's a red nose/caramel brindle pit mix about 5 to 6 weeks old. He has such beautiful eyes. If ever a puppy deserves a GREAT home, it's this little fella. Brief video of him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWCeS6M3kNc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mL451QQgQM Three days later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wa0ExBTe98 UPDATE 7/23/08 *Petey* was euthanized this AM. He was in critical condition with a very enlarged spleen caused by red blood cells being destroyed. He was so weak with labored breathing. Between the emaciation, anemia, internal parasites, etc. the vet said that even with aggressive treatment his chances of survival were slim to none. I couldn't let Petey suffer anymore than he already had. I prayed for a miracle because he'd been through hell at a tender young age and I really wanted him to have a chance at a good life. Before he crossed the rainbow bridge, I promised him I'd keep up the good fight for all the the other animals suffering at the hands of humans. My heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Elliot at Chemstrand Oaks Vet. Hospital in Pensacola for his compassion in trying to save Petey.

Crews Rescue Puppy Trapped In Hole
1216781463|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Animal rescue crews worked for three hours Wednesday to free a puppy trapped in a hole in Swope Park. A man doing community service noticed the dog was stuck near Oldham and Blue River roads. "Saw this little puppy sitting in here in this hole in the corner," Bret Westrope told KMBC. "I just love little dogs. I could see this dog was in need of some help." Westrope called 911, which alerted animal control officers and firefighters. He also called his mother, asking her to bring some gloves and shovels. But they needed more than gloves and shovels. Crews started digging by hand, then used shovels and eventually, a backhoe. After several hours, the puppy was pulled out. He appears to be a lab mix that is about 5 months old. One of the dog's rescuers is considering adopting the lucky pup. "I've grown attached to that dog the last three hours," Pat Bradbury said. The puppy was taken to Kansas City's animal shelter. Other than being a little frightened, the puppy is OK.

The Grace Foundation - How it all began

In 2002 16 horses are seized by Sacramento County Animal Control and are placed with Beth DeCaprio, the founder of The Grace Foundation of Northern California. The organization was asked to hold on to the horses until "Tuesday". Many Tuesdays have come and gone and the "original 16" are still part of our organization.
