FOLSOM — A dog that went missing in Quartzsite, Arizona, was found in Folsom, California, nearly a month later. According to animal control officials, Sheva was involved in an automobile accident in early November near Quartzsite. “At the time of the accident, she ran off into the desert and her owners spent some time looking for…

Animals – dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses – are taken in by animal shelters and rescues every day. Often times they come from unfortunate situations. Sometimes they come from amazing homes and families but uncontrollable circumstances arise forcing the family to give the animal up. No matter what their history consists of – they are […]

What is a Shane’s War PARDON? It is a week-long and sometimes longer Adoption event where we ask the Government , the Police , the Media and the citizens to all put their differences aside for the animals. The word Pardon does not imply the animals did anything wrong; it is simply our attempt to save them from certain Death. After the pardons end, we stay in touch with the citizens in these towns to help network the animals.
When we came up with the Pardon idea, we had no idea if it would work or not. We have had people who were long time enemies working together for some of these. As long as they are in need, we will try to help. When we go to a shelter for the first time, we visit every animal. We love them all, we travel under no banner of any national group, we are just Citizens helping the animals, our partners are different everywhere we go. Do we offer training to staff at shelters? No. If we see common sense things that will help, of course we speak up. Our mission is to get animals out of harms way, any citizen is welcome to sign the pardon in a town we are in (Shane).
The following pardons have been completed and more are lined up:
- DowneyPardon | Downey, CA | April-May 2016

One of the summers I worked at camp I had a camper ask me if I thought people’s pets went to heaven. It was a serious question. He asked me at a time when no one else was around. He looked me in the eye and almost whispered it. I told him I didn’t know and asked what he thought. He told me that he thought they did. He told me if heaven was perfect then there was no way his dog wouldn’t be there as he loved his dog. It didn’t make sense for his dog not to be there. I told him that sounded good to me and that I agreed.
Gates of Heaven is an entire movie of people talking about dead pets. I’ve watched it numerous times and have no idea whether it is a comedy, drama, or something else entirely. What I do know is…

One of my favorite non-profit groups, Maddie’s Fund (www.maddiesfund.org), is conducting a series of webcasts on saving shelter cat lives. According to their website, from April 7, 2015 to May 5, 2015, they are conducting a 5-part series on the key initiatives of the “Million Cat Challenge”. They are focusing on ACTIONABLE tools and tips that the shelter and rescue community can use to save lives.
Maddie’s Fund is an incredible source of valuable educational material for shelters and rescue groups relating to cats, dogs and other pets. I encourage everyone in the field to visit their website and checkout the material available.
Until the next time, I wish you success in saving lives and improving your programs.
