National Dog Day in Malibu, Ca - August 26th, 2007

The 2nd Annual National Dog Day celebration comes to Malibu, California on August 26, 2007.

2007 National Dog Day... National Dog Day serves to help galvanize the public to recognize not only the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, but to also acknowledge the dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort," explains Paige. “Particularly after 9/11, I really felt it was time to honor dogs more than we currently do. Over 300 dogs assisted with that rescue effort and some gave their lives," she notes. "I felt compelled to give them 'a day,' to show deep appreciation for our long connection to each other - for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty, for their work, their capacity for love. Animals have the capacity to impact our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways. National Dog Day wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure - and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and "abuse-free life".


Celebrated by dog lovers nationwide, National Dog Day is the day shelters, businesses and humane organizations host adoption events, parties and celebrations around the country to encourage not only canine adoptions, but also donations made to local animal shelters in an effort to save displaced pets. Over 300 National Dog Day events took place across the nation in 2006 facilitating the adoption of over 12,000 dogs.

Thinking about buying a puppy?

If you buy a dog over the Internet, at a pet store or through a newspaper ad, your new pooch may very well be from a puppy mill—a mass dog breeding operation. Protect yourself from scams and don't be fooled into buying an overpriced, possibly sick puppy. Resource: http://www.hsus.org/

Fourth of July Pet Safety Tips…

The Fourth of July can be very dangerous to your pets. Loud noises and sights may frighten them into running away, even breaking through barriers that, under normal conditions, would keep them restrained. This is the busiest day for Animal Control.

Protect your pet on the Fourth of July, take these precautions:

1. Keep your pets indoors while fireworks are being displayed in your area.

2. Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.

3. If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.

4. Do not ride a horse during this time, unless you are extremely familiar with that individual animal. Horses can shy, jump fences, and bolt.

5. If you have a basement, you might want to keep your pet down there, with a radio or TV going to drown out the explosive noises.

6. Even if you are convinced your pet will do fine at a firework display, resist the temptation to take it.

7. Never approach someone else's pet during a fireworks display. A normally calm animal can snap and bite when scared.

8. Exercise your dog well before the display, so that they will sleep well.

9. Before you release your pet back into the yard, do a quick survey to make sure that there is nothing there to harm it, especially objects it might try to eat or swallow.

10. Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.

11. Do not leave your pet in the car. With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects, even death, in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.

Wishing You and Your Dog(s) A Safe and Fun 4th of July!
