I deleted the post but now know of a sweet feline girl named "Gina" who is in search of her forever home. She's in a foster home and is cuddly and loves people. She's an adult (approx 5 years), very friendly and nuzzles her face under your chin while she hugs you! Very cute. She is light orange with a white chest. Please forward the post and I will follow up in case the person is still looking for a kitty to adopt.

Oppose. Prohibits any local ordinance that limits hunting. Next Hearing: Senate Floor. Write: Your Senator. Tell him/her that AB 979, introduced in 2009, is another attempt by hunters to prohibit locals from having any power over hunting in their communities. AB 1254 by Assemblyman Tom Berryhill re: Tresspassing. Repeals current law on trespassing saying it is redundant. Next Hearing: Senate Natural Resources. AB 1656 by Assemblywoman Fiona Ma re: Fur Labeling. Support. Requires all fur products to declare the species and country of origin. Next Hearing: Assembly Floor. April 5 Write; Your Assembly Member. Tell him/her that federal law requires labeling of fur worth over $150. A lot of fur is sold in California under $150, often as trim. AB 1656 closes that loophole. AB 1675 by Assemblyman Curt Hagman re: Tresspassing. Makes it a misdemeanor to trespass at a zoo or aquarium. AB 1956 by Assemblyman Bill Monning re: Condors. Concerns memorandums of understanding on the feeding of condors. Next Hearing: Assembly Approriations. AB 1980 by Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi re: Animal Shelters. Support. Allows animals shelters to provide first aid for injured animals. Hearing: Assembly Business & Professions. Write: Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi, Chair. Thank her for introducing AB 1980. Animals come into shelters who need immediate attention. AB 1980 makes it clear in the Veterinary Practices Act that first aid can be given by shelters until the animal can get treatment from a veterinarian. AB 2012 by Assemblyman Ted Lieu re: Cruelty Penalties. Revises penalties for animal cruelty to make sections consistent that animal abusers can be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. Hearing: Assembly Public Safety. April 10. AB 2223 by Assemblyman Pedro Nava re: Lead Shot. Support. Prohibits lead shot in designated wildlife areas. Hearing: Assembly Water, Parks & Wildlife. April 13. Write: Assemblyman Jared Huffman, Chair. Tell him that lead is banned in products to protect the public yet is allowed to poison our wildlife with lead bullets. AB 2411 by Assemblyman Dave Jones re: Pet Insurance. Support. Provides regulation of pet insurance, such as allowing pre-existing conditions. People buy pet insurance without being fully informed. Hearing: Assembly Insurance. April 7. Write: Assemblyman Jose Solorio, Chair. Tell him many people depend on insurance for medical care of their animals. They need complete consumer information and protection of their animals? health. AB 2689 by Assemblyman Cameron Smyth re: Rabies States intention to allow animal control to use e-mail, computers, and faxes to have information on rabies vaccinations which are required for dogs to be licensed. AB 2716 by Assembly Hearing: Assembly Local Government. April 21 ACA 11 by Assemblyman Bill Berryhill re: Hunting. Oppose. Amends the Constitution to declare the right to hunt/fish and say that only the Legislature or the Fish & Game Commission can regulate hunting/fishing, specifically including ?traditional methods? such as ?bows and arrows .? Hearing: Assembly Water, Parks & Wildlife. April 13. Write: Assemblyman Jared Huffman, Chair. Tell him that ACA 11 is an attempt to prevent any initiative (such as those passed on mountain lions and trapping) or local ordinance on wildlife protection. Hunters know they can?t control the general public who support wildlife protection . ACA 13 by Assemblyman Ed Hernandez re: Initiatives Requires that initiatives be given to the Legislature for possible amendments and passed as a bill instead of going to the ballot. Introduced in 2009, ACA 13 originally would have required initiative proponents to accept amendments or have to submit more signatures which would have crippled citizen intiatives. The requirement for additional signatures has been removed. Next Hearing: Assembly Floor. SENATE SB 250 by Senator Dean Florez re: Spay/Neuter. Support. Requires dogs/cats to be spayed/neutered with exemptions. SB 250 was introduced in 2009 but failed passage on the Assembly Floor. Next Hearing: Assembly Floor. Write: Your Assembly Member. Tell him/her that pet overpopulation costs the lives of animals and cities/counties millions of dollars to kill them for lack of space in shelters. SB 1058 Senator Tom Harman re: Hunting. Oppose. Declares hunting and fishing to be particularly desirable in state wildlife management areas and sets up the Upland Game Bird Account and the Big Game Management Account in which the money can only be used to enhance those hunting programs. Next Hearing: Senate Apporpriations Write: Senator Christine Kehoe, Chair. Tell her that the vast majority of Californians support wildlife protection for their own intrinsic value and that hunting is a priority of only 3% of the population. SB 1277 by Senator Dean Florez re: Animal Abuse Registration. Support. Requires those convicted of felony animal abuse to register with local authorities and imposes a tax on pet food to pay for the program making the information available to the public. Amendments expected. Hearing: Senate Public Safety. April 20. Write: Senator Mark Leno, Chair. Tell him animal abusers, like sex offenders, move from county to county to repeat their crimes. SB 1349 by Senator Dave Cogdill re: Endangered Species. Would authorize the ?take? of some ?endangered species. SB 1417 by Senator Dave Cox re: Humane Officers. Oppose Unless Amended. Puts additional requirements on an organization applying to a judge to appoint a humane officer. SB 1417 requires that a humane society be in existence for five years before being able to have a humane officer and that the judge confer with local law enforcement before making the appointment. Hearing: Senate Judiciary. Write: Senator Ellen Corbett, Chair. Tell her that while it is reasonable for judges to confer with local law enforcement before giving someone humane officer status, it is unreasonable to mandate a five year wait before that status can be considered. Humane officers are essential to protect animals . SB 1375 by Senator Calderon re: Kangaroos. Oppose. Removes the meager provisions passed last year on kangaroo product importation, such as not allowing importation if the quota is increased. Kangaroos, like the baby seals in Canada, are killed horribly by the many thousands. Although the US does not allow the importation of baby seal skins, Adidas and the Australian government want kangaroo skins for athletic shoes, which have been banned for many years, to be sold in California with no restrictions. Hearing: Senate Natural Resources & Wildlife. Write: Senator Fran Pavley, Chair. Remind her that the Senate Natural Resources Committee passed the bill allowing these importations with these meager provisions. That bill should have been killed in that committee last year so it is not right for the committee to weaken it further. SJR 22 by Dean Florez re: Horses. Support. Asks the President and Congress to support federal legislation to protect horses from slaughter. Next Hearing: Senate Floor. Write: Your Senator. Tell him/her that California has banned horse slaughter but we need a national ban to prevent our California horses from being sent out of state, or Mexico or Canada to be slaughtered Budget 2010 budget once again ?suspends? the Hayden law which requires longer holding periods in shelters. This ?unfunded state mandate? has costs cities/counties millions of dollars which the state is no longer willing/able to reimburse. Although it is still on the books, the state will not pay for it and cities/counties are not obliged to adhere to it. CALIFORNIA FISH & GAME COMMISSION 1416 -9TH ST. SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 Bear Hunting. Oppose Expands bear hunting by removing the quota on numbers of bears to be killed, starting bear hunting in San Luis Obispo County and expanding it in Lassen and Modoc Counties, allowing use of high-tech devices to locate bears and ?tip switches? on hound collars when a bear has been treed and it expands the hound training season. Next Hearing: April 8. 2600 Sand Dunes Dr. Monterey Write: Calif Fish & Game Commission. Tell them that there is no justification to expand bear hunting or to allow high tech devices for lazy, unethical hunters. According to law, wildlife ?belongs? to all the people of California who want them alive, not just the tiny percentage of trophy hunters. Also, the Fish & Game Code requires the Commission to ?consider the welfare of individual animals.? Turtle and Frog Importation Ban. Support. Prohibits permits for turtles and frogs for live animal markets. Next Hearing: April 8. 2600 Sand Dunes Dr. Monterey. Write: Calif Fish & Game Commission. Thank them for stopping the importation of millions of non-native frogs and turtles who come in injured and diseased for the markets and are commonly released into the wild competing and killing our native wildlife. All legislators can be addressed: State Capitol Building, Sacramento, California 95814.

Sunrise Pet Center in Fair Oaks, CA is a puppy mill front.? They sell puppies that come from a mass commercial breeder located in Menlo, Kansas called BJ's & Guys.? This puppy mill has repeatedly violated USDA regulations for keeping dogs and cats in disgusting rusted cages that do not meet the minimum USDA standards of 6 inches, for not providing adequate vet care and other neglectful acts. ? We are calling all animal advocates to come out on April 17th and join us for our monthly third Saturday-anti puppy mill protest to take action against this cruelty in our community.? We have tried to talk to the owner of the store and have politely asked her to please change her business practices but she has refused to meet with us.? Since she insists on selling puppy mill dogs, we must shine a light on Sunrise Pet Center's business practices for all to see, especially customers. It is our hope that Sunrise Pet Center reconsiders their decision and stops selling puppies, but in the meantime we will continue to protest, boycott and spread the truth. ? We will have extra signs at this event but feel free to make your own. Your friends, family members, kids and dogs are welcome but please keep in mind that Greenback is a busy street, and if your dog is nervous in that type of environment, it might be best to leave him/her at home. Some of us have also decided to wear matching t-shirts to look more uniform and make an even bigger impact. Wearing this t-shirt is not mandatory but if you'd like to order one we are wearing the STOP PUPPY MILLS red retro t-shirt, here is the link http://hsus.petfulfillment.com/productdetail.php?productid=1701 Feel free to park anywhere that is convenient in the shopping center parking but away from the front of Sunrise Pet Center.? We may be asked to move our cars but up this point no one has said anything. ? Thank you on behalf of the dogs at the mill who are suffering every day. ? -Ena All for Dogs http://www.facebook.com/pages/Roseville-CA/All-For-Dogs/181243888794?ref=ts ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I stopped in to Asm Jim Silva?s office and was directed to speak with Anthony, a fellow I?ve never met before. We get to chatting and before long he is telling me all about the ?amazing? experience he had adopting a dog last year through A New Hope Foundation. He is absolutely smitten with his pit bull girl he adopted through them and could not say enough good things about the adoption process. He said how supported his family felt and how clear it was that A New Hope really and truly valued the dog. He probably went on in this vein for a good ten minutes. In any event, I just wanted to pass along this nice kudos for a hard-working local group.

The problem doesn?t lie in a particular breed but in careless or uninformed owners. Proponents of breed discriminatory legislation believe in the mistaken notion that regulating dogs on the basis of breed will make a community safer when indeed there is no evidence that such is the case. Despite the myths promoted in the media about dogs labeled as pit bulls, there is no scientific evidence that one kind of dog poses more of a danger to people than any other kind of dog. (Refer to ?A Community Approach to Dog Bite Prevention? by the AVMA.). Whether you are a fan of pit bull type dogs or not, your dog, your breed could be targetted next. In some cities, the breed bans have expanded to cover german shepherds, huskies and other dogs. Also, there all data says that breed specific approaches do NOT reduce the number of either dog attacks or fatalites and are extremely costly to impose! >From Chako Rescue: Auburn Dog Ordinance - Up Again! In Auburn, California just outside of Sacramento the city council is now rushing to get through the revised dog ordinance it has been discussing for months. The city council expects to see some draft ordinance on or before April 12th and has put the issue on the April 26th City Council Agenda. The City council will be discussing all-breed spay/neuter or an ordinance that singles out Pit Bulls (such as mandatory sterilization for all Pit Bulls). Auburn residents please attend the city council meeting on April 26, Monday: City Hall, Council Chambers: 1225 Lincoln Way, Auburn, CA 95603 at 6:00 p.m. Whether or not you can attend, we encourage Auburn residents to write the city council. We've given you some sample communications and contact information below!We encourage AUBURN residents to contact the city council members! It's more effective if you write in your own words (if they get a bunch of identical emails, it makes less of an impact). Dear Auburn City Councilmembers: I reside in Auburn and am aware that you're going to be implementing a new dog ordinance and that one of the options you might be considering is breed-specific legislation.

Targeting a group of dogs, removes the responsibility from the owners ? where it belongs. Experts have consistently identified responsible ownership practices as contributing to safe, humane communities. For safer and humane communities, the following is proposed: 1) Current laws need to be enforced. If current laws were enforced, most dog problems would be greatly reduced. Dog owners allow their dogs to be off leash in public and at large should be cited and the situation allowing the dog to be at large remedied. Leash laws, if followed, would prevent many dog bites and attacks. It is a simple, extremely effective means of lessening dog problems yet it is not often enforced. 2) Enforcement of generic dangerous dog laws, laws that hold owners accountable for the actions of their dogs regardless of breed. 3) Stop making excuses for animal cruelty, neglect, and irresponsible ownership. 4) Encourage spay/neuter and provide low-cost spay/neuter services. Ninety percent of all fatal dog attacks are by intact males and females. 5) Encourage responsible dog ownership, including early socialization and training. Eighty-one percent of fatal dog attacks are by dogs that were isolated or not treated as part of their family. Provide education to the public on responsible dog-rearing, socialization and dog ownership. 6) Strengthen dog fighting and anti-cruelty laws. 7) Enforce laws and strengthen laws that hold all dog owners legally responsible for the actions of their animals. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Oppose. Prohibits any local ordinance that regulates hunting. Next Hearing: Senate Floor. Write: Your Senator. Tell him/her that AB 979, introduced in 2009, is another attempt by hunters to prohibit locals from having any power over hunting in their communities. AB 1254 by Assemblyman Tom Berryhill re: Tresspassing. Repeals current law on trespassing saying it is redundant. Next Hearing: Senate Natural Resources. AB 1656 by Assemblywoman Fiona Ma re: Fur Labeling. Support. Requires all fur products to declare the species and country of origin. Next Hearing: Probably Senate Natural Resources. Write; Senator Fran Pavley, Chair. Tell her that federal law requires labeling of fur worth over $150. A lot of fur is sold in California under $150, often as trim. AB 1656 closes that loophole. AB 1675 by Assemblyman Curt Hagman re: Tresspassing. Makes it a misdemeanor to trespass at a zoo or aquarium. AB 1956 by Assemblyman Bill Monning re: Condors. Concerns memorandums of understanding on the feeding of condors. Next Hearing: Assembly Approriations. AB 1980 by Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi re: Animal Shelters. Support. Allows animal shelters to provide first aid for injured animals. Hearing: Assembly Business & Professions. May 4 Write: Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi, Chair. Thank her for introducing AB 1980. Animals come into shelters who need immediate attention, many times in the night or when/where emergency treatment is not immediately available. AB 1980 makes it clear in the Veterinary Practices Act that first aid can be given by trained shelter personnel. AB 2012 by Assemblyman Ted Lieu re: Cruelty Penalties.

They need complete consumer information and protection of their animals' health. AB 2427 by Assemblyman Bill Berryhill re: Hunting. Oppose. Prohibits any prohibition on hunting by the Fish and Game Commission. Hearing: Assembly Water, Parks & Wildlife. April 27. Write: Assemblyman Jared Huffman, Chair. Tell him that the Commission has the authority to regulate hunting. While it is highly unlikely they would impose such a ban (current Commissioners are all hunters) their authority should remain intact unless there is legislation or an initiative. AB 2427 is another paranoid attempt by hunters to counteract the majority of Californians who do not support hunting. AB 2689 by Assemblyman Cameron Smyth re: Rabies States intention to allow animal control to use e-mail, computers, and faxes to have information on rabies vaccinations which are required for dogs to be licensed. AB 2716 by Assemblyman Tony Mendoza. Oppose Current law requires dog licenses to be half price or less if the dog is spayed/neutered. Licenses are required at 4 months. AB 2716 amends that law to allow a dog to be eight months old if verified by a veterinarian. Hearing: Assembly Local Government. April 21 Write: Assemblywoman Anna Caballero. Tell her that dogs can reproduce before eight months old and AB 2716 defeats the purpose of current law and will cost cities/counties. If people don't want to spay/neuter they should pay full price for dog licenses. AB 2743 by Assemblyman Pedro Nava re: De-Clawing/Debarking. Support. Will be amended to prohibit landlords from requiring a cat to be de-clawed or dog to be debarked. ACA 11 by Assemblyman Bill Berryhill re: Hunting. Oppose. Amends the Constitution to declare the right to hunt/fish and say that only the Legislature or the Fish & Game Commission can regulate hunting/fishing, specifically including "traditional methods" such as "bows and arrows ."

Tell her that the vast majority of Californians support wildlife protection for their own intrinsic value and that hunting is a priority of only 3% of the population. SB 1179 by Senator Dennis Hollingsworth re: Hunting. Oppose. Provides two free hunting days a year. Unlicensed hunters can hunt (guns, bows & arrows) if accompanied by a licensed hunter. Hearing: Senate Natural Resources. Write: Senator Fran Pavley, Chair. Tell her that hunters who have not bothered to attend the Hunter Training class and passed the test required by law and haven't paid any license fee should not be allowed to hunt. With the lack of wardens and funding, such a program should not even be considered. SB 1277 by Senator Dean Florez re: Animal Abuse Registration. Support. Requires those convicted of felony animal abuse to register with local authorities and imposes a tax on pet food to pay for the program making the information available to the public. Amendments expected. Hearing: Senate Public Safety. April 20. Write: Senator Mark Leno, Chair. Tell him animal abusers, like sex offenders, move from county to county to repeat their crimes. SB 1349 by Senator Dave Cogdill re: Endangered Species. Would authorize the "take" of some endangered species. SB 1417 by Senator Dave Cox re: Humane Officers. Oppose. Puts additional requirements on organizations applying to a judge to appoint a humane officer. SB 1417 requires that a humane society be in existence for five years and have an animal shelter for three years before being able to apply to appoint a humane officer. The judge must confer with local law enforcement before making the appointment. Currently, there are two levels of officers, those who do not carry guns and those who do (most do not). SB 1417 will require all of them to be trained to carry guns whether they carry guns or not. Hearing: Senate Judiciary. April 20. Write: Senator Ellen Corbett, Chair. Tell her that while it is reasonable for judges to confer with local law enforcement before giving someone humane officer status, it is unreasonable to mandate a five year wait before that status can be considered. Humane officers are needed to protect animals and work in conjunction with local law enforcement. SB 1345 by Senator Calderon re: Kangaroos. Oppose.

Lastly, my mother has a owns a vacation rental in Tahoe that she visits at least 4-5 times a month to maintain the property. If anyone needs transportation to that area please let me know. Together we can save lives! Please keep me in mind for transportation services in the future. -- Jacqueline Logan I am an Animal Rescuer....

My friend Michelle needs some help with her Bassett Hound, Daisy, due to financial a hardship. Please contact Michelle at mmitzel at sacent.com if you can help in any way. Thanks, Suzi Johnston *Daisy * I adopted Daisy approx 3 years ago from the Sac Co. Shelter. I was told at the time she was about 5 years old. She is a sweetheart and loves her belly rubbed. She loves her doggy bed which is right next to my bed. She is having some troubles with her back legs from time to time with some arthritis (I believe). She is also experiencing some recent incontinence. At this time, I can not afford vet bills as I have a family with 3 teenagers and my husband is out of work. We just can't do this with only my salary even though it breaks all of our hearts. I would love for her to be placed in a home or somewhere where she can happily continue her lifes journey. She is very easy going and gets along with other animals and children also. I appreciate your time and hope you can help my Daisy girl. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With it being from tropical or subtropical areas & possibly from overseas somewhere, I have to wonder about the fungus that was growing in one of my ears 2 weeks after I recently returned from a month long trip to northcentral India. It caused one of the worst pains I've ever experienced in my life! I was on VERY heavy antibiotics for about 20 days. I'm sure hoping it doesn't hit here & that this isn't what I suffered with. My hearing is still impaired. Quite frightening! Hope all's well with you & your fur children.

I would probably been driven by the temptation to eat them all myself! Well, maybe not, that was a lot of chocolate. I had heard the rumor about Sac Animal control closing and had called to ask them about it which was denied by whoever I spoke with, but maybe they just didn't know or are covering up. If that shelter closes, the remaining shelters are going to be even more crowded and more animals will be killed. I hope to God that they don't close and I'm glad that your chocolate bars will help them raise some money. They ought to open a thrift shop over at their new facility. I think the one that the SPCA has brings in quite a bit of money, or so I've heard. How are things at your house? I'm up to 22 cats now and feel somewhat over my limit. It's very hard now to find good homes for animals because there are just so many and in this unstable economy it's just getting harder and harder. Sometimes it difficult to keep going. I have not heard anymore from the gal with Odie so I don't know what ever happened or whether or not she ever got him neutered. I sure hope he's in an okay place.. I'll always remember you for your offer to help me with him. Hope you are out enjoying the sunshine, but get ready because it's going to rain again on Tuesday..ah geez..

Mom is friendly and 4 kittens are about 2-2.5 weeks old. Can anyone provide housing for them? The person taking care of them cannot have them and they have to go. I wish we could take them but we already have more than our share of moms and kittens.

Message-ID: <8CCB4FDDA32777C-1E14-B5F9@webmail-d028.sysops.aol.com> Do You Love Cats? Consider Helping Shelter Kitties! A New Hope Animal Foundation is looking for people who enjoy handling and spending time with cats and kittens who are at the animal shelter looking for homes at the animal! If you love cats and want to help homeless animals, please consider volunteering with the homeless cats at Placer County Animal Services at 11251 B Avenue in Auburn. We're looking for people willing to handle the cats and help clean their cages and others to provide foster care for those cats or kittens needing extra attention at home before being adopted! As you know, many shelters are facing very harsh times and although, we've been fortunate, if we can help alleviate staff with some of the cat care, it would help tremendously! Handling the cats at the shelter also helps to improve their adoptability! Please contact A New Hope at loomisgal at cs.com or call 916.652.4164 to set up an orientation for helping our homeless cats. Thanks so much!
