Shelter Dogs 'in Love' Hope to Find Forever Home Together
This Valentine’s Day, two shelter dogs from Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge (RBARI) in Oakland, NJ, hope to find a forever home together. The dogs, Clover and Roscoe, have fallen in love and are inseparable.
Clover is a 6-year-old female Corgi-Lab mix rescued from a hoarding situation and Roscoe is 4-year-old male Basset hound who used to be an outside dog and is fearful of men.

Washington, DC - National Fire Dog Monument Installation in Chinatown (500 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20001) – Today, October 23 - Open to the Public

12:00 – 2:30 PM: NFDM Dedication Ceremony at D.C. Fire & EMS Station #2 in Chinatown (500 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20001) – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
American Humane Association and State Farm were instrumental in providing funding to The National Fire Dog Monument (NFDM), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to build a bronze monument dedicated to all Certified Accelerant Detection K-9’s (arson dogs) as a way to acknowledge their service to the communities where they serve.
These dogs do not ask for anything in return after risking their lives to reduce the negative impact of arson in their communities. The monument design is a standing fire fighter looking down on his Labrador Retriever (2011 Hero Dog Award winner Sadie served as model!), who is looking back up at his handler ready to work. The monument is titled “From Ashes to Answers.”
I hope you will join us here in Washington, DC on October 23rd, to help call attention to the nation's arson dogs and thank the men and women who train and care for these four-legged heroes who do so much to protect families and communities across America!
With best wishes,
Dr. Robin Ganzert
President and CEO

Military Dogs Euthanized as 'Equipment' Under Cruel Law
If roadside bombs and other hazards of war don't kill military dogs, senseless government regulations and red tape might.
The United States is breeding 100 puppies a year to train for bomb sniffing and other soldierly duties, but many aren't making it back to happy homes because an obscure federal law classifies them as "equipment" rather than personnel, and makes adopting them a financial and bureaucratic nightmare. A bill to require that the military ship the heroic dogs home and ease potential veterinarian costs for adopting families is currently bogged down in Congress, as dogs continue to be euthanized.

Dog Has Successful Surgery To Remove Spoon From Stomach
Last Wednesday, when Laurie Neomany noticed Vincent wasn't eating his food, she took him to the vet for testing and that is when technicians discovered a seven-inch spoon lodged in his stomach.
Neomany said the surgery was successful and Vincent was back home the next day, minus the $2,500 medical bill.
