People WANT to spay and neuter... we are having trouble raising enough money to keep up! the majority of these owners have taken in Pit Bulls that were either abandoned or being abused, or someone was going to bring to a shelter.

I hear so many people say things like "my dog is a working dog and if I neuter him he won't be good for herding anymore." Or "Oh, she never leaves the yard so we don't have to worry about that." Arrgghhh...I am hoping that there will be soon a nationwide campaign about the long term benefits for the dog of spay/neuter. Aside from less dogs in the shelters.<br />Also I am SO LOOKING FORWARD TO a PETSMART opening in my area soon. Any corporation that funds something like this will get my greenbacks any day!<br />Good job all!Mrs.Mooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973024137226068931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-45097370435826078612012-05-15T19:57:03.646-07:002012-05-15T19:57:03.646-07:00Bravo BADRAP it looks like yet another successful ...Bravo BADRAP it looks like yet another successful event! As I watched the video it brought back memories from the event in October 2011. I applaud all of the BADRAP volunteers for their dedication and desire to assist these communities in need. Donna, I eagerly await the publication of your "how to" manual. :) Wish I could have been there to help with this event.lisagk9x3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11767006437100106653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-69750198305601770412012-05-15T16:53:22.480-07:002012-05-15T16:53:22.480-07:00I just flagged 29 puppy ads on the San Francisco C...I just flagged 29 puppy ads on the San Francisco Craigslist site. I have been doing this several times a day for several weeks now, and there are 29 new ones just today. This does not count Sacramento, Stockton, Monterey or all the other Craigslist sites that are overflowing with prohibited breeder ads. <br /><br />Until all the puppy mills and backyard breeders are out of business from selling puppies on Craigslist, print ads and through their own websites; until all the shelters in the country are no longer overflowing with puppies, kittens, surrendered dogs and lost pets who never get claimed; until shelters don't have to euthanize animals strictly for lack of space, I will support mandatory spay/neuter laws. They are the key to stopping the constant bloodshed occurring in shelters all around the country. <br /><br />There are a small number of people who will voluntarily spay/neuter and that is wonderful, but those numbers are a minute fraction to all the people who will not spay/neuter because they want to breed their dogs and make money. <br /><br />I challenge every single person reading this blog to visit their local Craigslist once a day, go to the Pets section and flag every single litter of puppies and kittens listed. That will let everybody know exactly how bad the problem really is.Renting With Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071118983927530284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-79637319006172462882012-05-15T12:45:32.646-07:002012-05-15T12:45:32.646-07:00Hi Amanda - We pay for the supplies needed for sur...Hi Amanda - We pay for the supplies needed for surgery, and sometimes for a vet's day rate if s/he requires one. Everything else is volunteer help. Canopies, wet towels and water are ready to help prevent overheating. Dogs don't argue because we manage the line and provide on-the-spot training (talk about having a captive audience!). Clients are typically very appreciative and willing to wait what could be several hours. All our secrets will be revealed when we launch our how-to guide this summer. :-)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881171300084907158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-79398834033991379242012-05-15T12:34:31.491-07:002012-05-15T12:34:31.491-07:00Donna:

Do they volunteer their time, or is there a fee? How do you decide where to set up the free clinic? And how do you keep the dogs (and their people) from getting overheated, bored or into scuffles with other waiting dogs? Thanks! AmandaAmandanoreply@blogger.com
