DREAM Dachshund Rescue

I am amazed every day by the capacity of dogs to love and forgive the human race. I hope to give people a better understanding of what rescue is and why rescue is needed. The road is heartbreaking and frustrating. I meet so many dogs with such sad histories. And then I see them turn themselves around, with love and stability, and I think this is the happiest road there is, as well as the saddest. For the doggies, always the doggies. www.dreamdachsierescue.org

Melinda Merck's NPR interview

A few months ago I attended the trial of the Moulder brothers, who were convicted of animal cruelty and burglary in Fulton County. Dr. Melinda Merck was the forensic veterinarian on that case, and she was recently interviewed on Fresh Air. Although this is difficult to listen to, I hope you will force yourself to do so. The link between animal cruelty and domestic abuse and other crimes is also discussed.

These things happen, and we must not turn our faces away from the animals.

Georgia Legal Professionals for Animals is an excellent organization, making great strides in getting these cases to prosecution. www.georgialpa.org
