I was at the SPCA yesterday, like I am regularly, and a couple brought in 3 puppies to be surrendered.

Well the puppies were Heinz 57's and the were loaded with fleas. (and I mean loaded!) Well, the SPCA refused to accept them since they were only about 6 weeks old.(Their policy is no animal under 8 weeks old.)

These people got very upset and threatened to not let the SPCA clinic NOT fix their female dog on Monday because they wouldn't take in the puppies. This couple claim that they have 11 dogs at their home and they just couldn't handle the 3 extra puppies for 2 weeks.

I gave the couple my business card and told them I would take in the puppies if they couldn't handle them for the next two weeks.

If you were there, what would you have done?

A week after my old Arowana died, we bought a new one. After a few days, this baby arowana, started to lose its appetite and today, some of its scales started to fall off. There are also red things in his scales. I feel so sorry - I feel that I am doing something wrong with all these Arowanas.

Well, if you want to see a picture - you can look through the entry in my journal:

I need immediate help - I don't want another fish to die in my care.

I know it sounds like a funny/nasty question but I'm 100% serious. I have a dog he's 2yrs old full grown at around 6lbs but he gives himself BJ's/Head/Dome or whatever else you want to call it. His red thing comes out all the way and he bobs around. He falls off the bed and couch playing with himself, he'll sit on the dining room floor doing it while you're eating. he's bitten himself before and it's really embarrassing and nasty having company over. With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner is there anything I can do? I've asked vets and they said he still has temptation after being neutered, he was neutered when he was 3 months old. I've had dogs in the past, my whole family has dogs and I've never seen any of them do this. Humping legs, blankets yes but not playing with themselves.

Hi there, I've been researching kitten food before picking up our new Ragdoll kitten in a few weeks. I keep hearing about Wellness Core or Innova Evo, are these the best & where do I find these? I want to feed her both dry & wet food. Thanks.

My mom's dog Sophie and sister's dog Pepper will sneak behind the trees in the back yard at my sisters and hump, but Pepper and my dog Harley are all ready lovers. Is it because he doesn't want it to get back to my dog?

But today I just did it, and now she is having diahrrea it makes me feel bad look at her going poo so often ( just a little bit every time) and also she is making a mess of poop in the house. What can I do any homemade remedy???

I have a 4 month old Maltese, and I gave him a bath tonight and found 1 flea on his head...I got it and killed it. After bathing him and brushing him I looked him over entirely as I did and after and have not found anymore. I am washing my bedding (as he sleeps in bed with me) and washing his in his crate...what am I to do? I have not found another one or anymore for that matter, I have also vacuumed my home. I looked on the internet and I see that Advantage and Frontline are too expensive for me at this time...he does have a vet appt on Saturday...but any suggestions? He is bathed 2x a week...he's not a dirty puppy. I also washed his toys. I was at a friends house wednesday and they have 4 dogs...3 maltese's and a lab...I am thinking that he got it from one of them. I live in MN so the weather is too cold for him to have gotten outside....any suggestions or is what I have done already good???

I am just a very parinoiod proud puppy owner!!
