hounds_of_hell [ rozae ]	9:09p	Cornelius the puppy needs help on Christmas Cornelius is an approximately 8-month-old pit bull mix puppy. He was found wandering in the middle of a busy road on Christmas Eve. Covered in gasoline, he was originally thought to be black. Once cleaned up, a handsome brown dog was revealed. Cornelius is suffering from demodex mange (click here for additional photos showing the extent of the mange--be warned, the photos may be upsetting). He's itchy and uncomfortable, yet still in good spirits. He's a friendly and enthusiastic puppy, and does not appear to be terribly reactive to dogs or cats. What he really wants is to just play with squeaky toys. The people who saved him from traffic and cleaned him up cannot keep him for long. They are renters and not allowed to have pit bulls (or pit mixes). If the landlord finds out, Cornelius will be forced to go to the local pound. The pound will keep him for a short SEVEN DAYS before euthanizing. They do NOT rehabilitate pit bulls in this condition. Rescues have been contacted and either cannot accept pit bulls or are overwhelmed. Therefore, this poor pup needs a warm place to stay and heal. Can you help? Cornelius is in the Orlando, FL., area. The people who took him in are willing to drive him pretty far to keep him safe and get him the help he needs. If you can help, please send an e-mail to whereismybreakfast@gmail.com Thank you!

hounds_of_hell [ 6necro6girl6 ]	6:45p	Don't know if anyone saw this - but TIME ran a cover story in their Dec. 7 issue featuring great portraits of some of the dogs rescued from the St. Louis bust. The best part? The article is so positive! www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1942950,00.html I'll definitely be writing a nice note to TIME about this piece, and I hope some of you will as well.   What a great Xmas gift for pit bulls from the national media!

hounds_of_hell [ hexeengel ]	10:37a	I recently joined a group on Facebook called Save the Pitbulls, related to Prop. SB861 in California. It's already passed, unfortunately but this page has information on California legislators who supported it. I live in Minnesota so I can't directly affect this, but for those who can, I wanted to provide information on whom to oust from their position. For those in Ontario Canada, there's also this group supporting Bill 222. x-posted to petbulls (3 Comments |Comment on this)
