Dear Marvin,
Save the life of this week's "Pet of the Week" by adopting her
Submitted by paula on Tue, 12/01/2015 - 1:45pm
Once again, the pet of this week is Heavenly, a sweet female Pit who is about 2 years old. She is good with people and well behaved. Heavenly does, however, have a lot of energy!
She would be best in a home with no other female dogs and no cats.
Heavenly needs to find a home very soon. She is at risk of being put down very soon, so if you're interested, please visit her at the El Dorado County Animal Services, 530-573-7925.
For Spay-Neuter services and other support, call the Lake Tahoe Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at 530-542-2857.
Ask Hopeful Henry: Should I give my dog bones?
Submitted by paula on Fri, 11/27/2015 - 9:37pm
This week we had a request for help from a family whose 10 month old German Shepard got his muzzle stuck in a knuckle bone purchased from a pet store. He had eaten out the center of the bone and the bone became lodged onto his jaw. After the owner tried for an hour to remove the bone it became apparent that an emergency vet appointment was need. The bone had broken his tooth and was causing extreme pain. Alpine Animal Hospital was nice enough to squeeze them in right away and was able to remove the bone with a minor surgery.

You may remember the news back on January 13, 2014, when a Chihuahua puppy was found in the Bay Area with her fur dyed pink and a fractured leg. A good Samaritan had picked the puppy off the street and took her into the Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) and SPCA in San Mateo, CA.
Their staff got the two-month old puppy into surgery for a hairline fracture to her right rear tibia and started her on pain medication. As she was resting at the facility the staff named her "Candy" because of her unique coloring.
