Well I'm here to make a vow to you. I will not purchase an item that is tested on animals, no matter how euphoric it makes me feel when I place the open container to my nose. I will not purchase a pair of leather shoes, even when I get the feeling they will change my life and make me happy forever. I will appreciate the Method products that line my countertop and never buy a cheaper version of a cleaning supply because a) they are not as pretty and b) they do not include a lovely message of love on the back (NEVER tested on animals, vegan, biodegradable). Not to mention, Method products are really cheap now and will make you feel as if you are indulging.

After weeks of not having the internet, television, or a working phone, I was slowly going insane. I'm a social junkie and have a communication addiction. The day my world was turned back on, I logged into facebook excited to see what everybody was up to; What dogs were saved, who was fostering who, and all the good my charity oriented friends were accomplishing. There was one problem, I forgot how fucked up the world was.

So you want a puppy? You just can't help it. You want the little bugger to grow up with your kitten... or your baby (baby and puppy seem like a good idea right)? What do you want? Half of you want Pit Bulls (and think surely there are 100s of puppies at your local shelter, because you really don't want to support the breeding of a so often killed breed). The other half of you want little fluffy balls of attitude (surely there are 100s at the local shelter, because you really don't want to support the pet store).

You begin your search. You are SHOCKED to find that not only are local shelters NOT overrun with puppies, but when you find one you LOVE and just HAVE to have, well, it turns out there is a whole list of others that feel the same way about the creature. You try and you try, but all those perfect puppies are taken. Then you email me. "Please help me find a puppy". I tell you to be patient, and that I will help you find the perfect life to save; and I do...but in your eyes, a dog such as this one is not perfect:

Stunning 11 month old blue brindle Staffie to be euthanized in the morning because he has kennel cough which will go away in a little over a week! Just doesn’t seem fair – can anyone squeeze this beautiful (inside & out) dog into their hearts and rescue?
