How to rock your pet adoption listings
Pet Connection &bull Sep 3, 2010
It's not to make the animal seem as victimized as possible. It doesn't involve making people feel pity or guilt or horror. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with ominous or frantic warnings that the pet will be killed in horrible ways at an uncaring animal control facility if someone doesn't step up and adopt him. Some of the research done for the Ad Council's Shelter Pet Project (which I do some work for) revealed that the main reason people who start out wanting to adopt… Full Story »

The State of the Cat
Cats (Wordpress) &bull Sep 2, 2010
In front of the Dumb Friends League-the Denver organization widely acknowledged as one of the most progressive animal shelters in the country- there is a small bronze statue celebrating the human- animal bond. The sculpture is comprised of four figures: A little boy sitting cross-legged; a long-eared spaniel sitting behind him with his chin on the boy's shoulder; a chubby pug in the boy's lap. These three are all looking at a smaller figure: A cat, who sits facing the trio, regarding them as they regard her-part of the scene, but separate. And there they sit, a silent but charming… Full Story »

Did you ever wonder how activism happens? How do the leaders and role models begin to make a difference in their communities? USA Today paints three portraits of people who saw a need that wasn't being met, and decided that since action needed to be taken, they'd do it. It all started a few years back when… Full Story »

Death threats du jour: How not to change an attitude
Pet Connection &bull Aug 30, 2010
A woman in the U.K. dumped a live cat in trash bin and was caught on government surveillance cameras doing it. Confronted, she "defends" herself by saying she did it as a lark, and, "It's only a cat." Lola's owner Stephanie Mann, 24, has appealed for calm. I only posted it on Facebook because I wanted to see who she was. Whatever she has done, I don't like her, but I don't want her to get hurt. It needs to be dealt with properly, not by people getting aggressive with her." Lola the cat, by the way, is OK. And… Full Story »
