Fall in Love with Jack, an Adoptable Dog in Missouri

What happens when a dog owner dies and the rest of the family isn't interested in the dog?  In Jack's case, he was taken in by Dogwood Animal Shelter.

Jack has been at the shelter for a few months now and is hoping to find another loving home.  According to shelter volunteers, Jack is a great dog!  He walks nicely on a leash and always has a friendly greeing for everyone.

Only, a couple of years old, Jack still has a lot of energy and is ready for fun!  He invites you to come by and clip a leash to his collar and go for a walk on one of these nice spring days.  Jack's pretty sure you'll fall in love!

For more information about Jack, contact Dogwood Animal Shelter in Osage Beach, Missouri.


Dogwood Animal Shelter was established as a not-for-profit organization in 1976.  They have been a no-kill facility since 1997 and built a new shelter in 2005 which includes a spay/neuter clinic.  In 2010, the shelter spayed/neutered over 1200 animals.  Their Dogwood Thrift Shop provides over half of the funding that keeps the shelter in operation.

Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support

Yesterday I read a blog post and watched a video at Ohmidog about some dogs who survived the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  As a result I increased my efforts to discover a way of contributing that was on the up and up.  I confess I also looked for information about the dogs that were in the video.

 The Japan earthquake Animal Rescue and Support is a coalition of three groups:  HEART - Tokushima, Animal Garden Niigata, and Japan Cat Network.  These groups have been working in animal rescue in Japan for many years.  They've now come together to provide animal shelter space, coordinate some earthquake/tsunami animal rescues, and to share animal rescue related new to the general public.  Like their individual groups, their collaboration is no-kill.

If you choose to donate, your money will be used strictly for rescue, care and support of animals in crisis due to the earthquake and tsunami, including veterinary care, vaccines, antibiotics, food, cages, and transportation. 

You can read more about Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support on their Facebook page.  There you'll find frequent updates about their efforts.
