Nearly 2 Dozen Rescued Dogs Find Forever Homes

EAST BROOKFIELD — Second Chance Animal Services is pleased to announce that 23 small dogs rescued earlier this month from an overwhelmed owner have all found their forever homes.

Seven of these dogs are in foster-to-adopt arrangements as they complete ongoing veterinary care.

However, the work is far from over. The nonprofit has taken in four additional dogs from the same case that were initially thought to have placements, including one with significant medical needs.

Second Chance Animal Services sponsors the bi-annual Jeffrey P. Stephens Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic at the Fitchburg Fire Department and has been a good partner to Leominster Fitchburg Animal Control through the years and will host the next Vaccine Clinic in Fitchburg in April.

Among the new arrivals is 8-year-old Esmeralda, a timid dachshund mix.

Esmeralda came to Second Chance under-socialized and fearful, but her gentle nature is starting to emerge.

She required surgery to repair a large hernia during her spay, and pre-surgical bloodwork revealed she is heartworm positive. Her treatment for heartworm, which can take 9 to 12 months, will be followed by a dental procedure. Her care alone is expected to total nearly $2,500.

The rescued dogs, a mix of Maltese, Poodle, Yorkie, and Shih Tzu breeds, were brought in under urgent circumstances. Thanks to the generous support of the community, they quickly received the medical attention they needed.

All but one dog has been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and treated for other medical issues. These once-neglected dogs are now on the path to healthier, brighter futures.

"We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community," said Lindsay Doray, Chief Development Officer of Second Chance. "Because of your generosity, the original group of dogs are settling into new homes. Your donations made this possible, and we truly can't thank you enough."

While celebrating the progress made, Doray emphasized that the need for help continues.

"The total cost to care for these dogs exceeded $15,000," she said. "This case reminds us just how critical ongoing support is to our mission. Donations ensure we can continue providing life-saving medical care, shelter, and hope for pets in crisis, like Esmeralda and like Moana, who is awaiting specialized surgery for cherry eye."

Doray urged the community to continue supporting their work.

"Your donation today will help us be ready for the next emergency, ensuring every pet in crisis gets the second chance they deserve."

MARIETTA — The first Dachshund Derby took place Saturday with people packed shoulder-to-shoulder at the Armory Square in Marietta.

The event began at noon with a parade from the Armory parking lot to the gazebo at Muskingum Park. Participants dressed their dachshunds in colorful and creative costumes as they walked through town.

After the parade, the races started at 1 p.M. On the Armory lawn. Dachshunds competed in five different race categories based on age, allowing dogs of all life stages to participate. More than 90 dachshunds were registered to compete.

According to the organizer of the event, Kaitlin Streator, who is on the committee for Marietta Main Street this was a passion project brought to reality.

"I moved here to Marietta a few years ago, and I (told) Jen Tinkler with Marietta Main Street that I think a Dachshund Derby would be great for this whole town, and she said, yeah sure," said Streator. "A bunch of volunteers have been organizing this since January, and I wanted to do it because I love the breed."

For those not interested in racing, there were additional contests held at stations around downtown businesses, where pups showcased their skills and competed for prizes for the oldest dachshund, longest ears, shortest legs, best costume and longest body.

The event also had a charitable focus, with a $5 entry fee for competing pups. All the proceeds went toward supporting Marietta Main Street, with additional donations encouraged for the Humane Society of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Vendors. Representatives from the Humane Society set up near the race area, offering pet products, T-shirts and other memorabilia.

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m
