You may have read the news report or seen the story on TV - 5 dogs belonging to Mr. Whitmill bit a woman Friday morning in East Oak Cliff. Those 5 dogs were impounded by Dallas Animal Services and are awaiting a Dangerous Dog hearing. He still has 6 dogs—4adults (including one who’s very pregnant) and 2 five-month-old pups. On Sunday afternoon I went to visit Mr. Whitmill and the remaining dogs.

Springtime is a prime time for nonprofits and schools to host fund-raising events, so this is a good time to remind everyone that it is illegal in the City of Dallas to offer puppies, kittens or any live animal as auction prizes.

Since it’s inception in 2002, the Metroplex Animal Coalition’s Patt Davis Memorial Spay/Neuter fund has spent just over half a million dollars to sterilize 11,429 animals at an average cost of only $ 50. You may find it hard to believe, but 97.5% of MAC’s income goes directly to spay/neuter program expenses with only 2.2% going to administrative/fundraising costs. With MAC – your dollars work

Many of you have asked what is needed to be "certified" or "trained" to respond to animals in disasters. While there is not, at least at this time, a standard, nationwide certification system, some minimal requirements have emerged for first responders who want to help animals affected by disasters.
