Howdy folks! I don't know about you but the critters in my neighborhood dread the fireworks that accompany the Fourth of July.

So I wrote this blog, based on my experience as an animal communicator, to help our animal friends.

Six Simple Ways to Reduce Fourth-of-July-Fireworks Anxiety for Your Animal Friends
I encourage you to check it out and post your ideas as as well. :)

Yahoo! Just saw this posted to GoodNewsNetwork.org. Hooray for the Anderson shelter thinking outside the litterbox! :)

Imprisoned Felons Help Care for Unwanted Cats (Video)

Indiana prisoners are serving as foster parents to 59 cats and kittens waiting for adoption and hoping for a second chance, after the local shelter had no more room.

One inmate, convicted of involuntary manslaughter, said caring for the animals in 8-hour shifts makes him feel better about himself.

Watch the video here.

Someone PLEASE go adopt Chyna, Beto and Ricky from the Humane Society. I REALLY do not need a dog (3 kids, 1 hubby/kid, 1 cat), but these three dogs are awesome. All older and very sweet. Check them out on the HSI website.

I just brought home the cutest cava-poo (cavalier spaniel/poodle). Thought he would be great for the kids, never thought I would end of falling for him.

I figured all you animal lovers out there would like to know that today is the final day for the Puppy Mill bill, HB 1468 legislative session. If you'd like to voice your opinion on animal cruelty and helping pass this bill please contact your representative and urge them to do what they can to move it forward.

BSL has reared its ugly head again; read HSI's position statement on Breed-Specific Legislation.

Thanks for your interest, Arnie & Hazel!!!

I second Connie's note that small dogs go very quickly, with older ones sticking around a bit longer, Arnie. I recommend checking our adoptable dogs page regularly to see who's up for adoption, as it's updated in real-time. If you find one that looks like a good match for you, try to be at the shelter when we open that day - especially if the dog is a young purebred, odds are it won't be here long.

Also, because small dogs are hugely popular, most are adopted during the weekends, and it takes us a few days to get more up for adoption after big weekends.

Again, thanks for your interest in adopting!

Arnie, we do get a lot of small dogs at HSI and some of them are maltese mixes. Keep an eye on our adoptable dogs on the website: www.indyhumane.org. Would you be interested in an older dog? The younger small dogs go very fast, but the older ones sometimes wait to find the right home.
