Mutts and Mom has chosen to temporarily inactivate their website on Petfinder.com because their email inbox and voice mail are overwhelmed. Petfinder has 11,000 shelters and rescue groups posting over 260,000 pets that need homes. We do not dictate the adoption policies of our members. We do work with them to educate their volunteers and hope to professionalize the industry as a whole, providing a positive experience for adopters. Petfinder advocates for all parties: the pets, the adopters, and the shelter and rescue group workers and volunteers.
Many shelters and rescue groups insist, through their adoption agreements, that if a pet cannot stay with his adoptive family, the adopters must return him to the group. Why do they do this?
Between 500,000 and 1 million pets adopted from shelters and rescue groups find themselves homeless and in the shelter once again.
One foster mom said it best, "I found the dog on the street, starving. I nursed her back to health. She slept in my bed. I sang her back to sleep when she had nightmares when she first came to me. Then I adopted her to a wonderful family. A year later, I got a call from animal control because she was at the shelter and she was going to be euthanized. The family had gotten divorced and she ended up on death row!"
This too-common experience leads rescue groups and shelter to put strict policies in place governing what happens if the adoption doesn't work out. In effect, the rescue group and shelters are promising to always be there as a safety net for the pets. This can be very comforting to adopters.
Some pet parents, who have the best intentions for their pets, feel that they can do a better job of finding a new home for their beloved pet than a shelter or rescue group. Their rationale is that they know their pet best, they can keep it in their home until the perfect new home is found, and they can help ease the transition for the pet. Often times, this is a natural transition - a family member, trusted friend, or a colleague gets to know the pet, falls in love, and the ownership of the pet is unofficially transferred to them.
This is a controversial point of view, even amongst shelters and rescue groups who may feel that they have more experience identifying pitfalls and risk factors when identifying new families. Research, however, suggests that there is no difference in the success rates of the adoptions between organizations that screen heavily versus those that have more open adoption policies.
It also bears noting that shelters and rescue groups, understandably, want to keep in contact with new families to be able to lend their support and continue to get updates about the pets they cared for. So we have two groups, the shelter and the pet parents, who both want what is best for the pet, but who may have very different points of view. The silver lining is that everyone really wants the best home possible for the pet. If we could ensure that same future for all the pets available on Petfinder.com, our job would be accomplished.
《LA.Voyage》吸引自從我那一天立定昏倒後
把我馬麻嚇了很多跳, 再加上最近天氣比較涼了
所以我每天都趁我馬麻還沒回房間睡覺的時候
先去她床上"卡位"
還趁我剛睡了一大覺起來神志還沒恢復正常 給我拍了下去
其實我一直都奉行一個理念: 就是馬麻的床也就是我的床!
每天就給她大搖大擺的睡下去
她們到時候若要趕"狗", 其實你已經睡了一大覺
而且幫她們把被子都弄暖了 在有一點涼意的秋天
在加上那付剛睡醒的樣子
再用水汪汪的眼睛跟你的念力雙管齊下
昨天十二點我躺在床上看DAVID LETTERMAN
正在訪問Ben Stiller, 伴隨著小狗打呼的聲音
結果聽到小威開始咳嗽
那種咳我經常聽見 通常是嗚我太久或是想吐的前兆
我起床把燈打開 讓他看的更清楚些
然後沒一兩分鐘可怕的事就發生了
(我相信在這邊許多狗把拔狗馬麻都沒有看過)
本來看起來像要找地方吐
然後筆直的往右邊倒下去(不是腳軟的那一種)
那種往旁邊倒的方式好像中彈那樣
然後開始像抽筋一樣的抖了好幾下
像腦部有腫瘤發作,癲癇一般
我看這這場景真的嚇呆了
More about Trouble:
有「小氣女王」之稱的紐約飯店業女大亨李奧娜．赫姆斯利上個月過世，在遺囑中留給愛犬「麻煩」一千兩百萬美元（台幣近四億元）遺產，但這隻坐擁巨額財富的好命狗卻買不到朋友。
紐約時報報導，「麻煩」喜歡吃奶油乳酪和在公園裡散步。她和許多紐約客一般，吃得好，梳洗打扮得很漂亮，並受到良好的醫療照顧（她有甲狀腺失調和腎方面的毛病）。八歲的她已成為廣告明星。
「麻煩」是隻可愛的馬爾濟斯犬，有絲般的白毛和一雙像鈕扣的眼睛。她一生榮華富貴，住在位於紐約中央公園南側的柏寧酒店頂樓，這家飯店的鋼琴師曾為她寫一首曲子，飯店大廚為她準備餐點，還有管家服侍她。
飯店女大亨赫姆斯利以小氣和刻薄聞名，唯獨對她的狗很大方，留給她一千兩百萬美元遺產，她的司機只獲得十萬美元（台幣三百卅萬元），她的兩個孫子則沒拿到半毛錢。
「麻煩」獲大筆遺產的新聞造成轟動，「澳洲人報」標題是：「麻煩在天堂，繼承人失寵」。「紐約郵報」和英國「太陽報」不約而同稱呼她是「有錢的母狗」（rich bitch）。
赫姆斯利的一位友人最近接到兩通狗主人打來的電話，表示想讓他們的狗和「麻煩」交配。
紐約人對生前對待員工刻薄的赫姆斯利印象不佳，加上她把大筆財產留給一條狗，更是令紐約人不爽，因此「麻煩」失去主人後，紐約人就把氣出在「麻煩」身上，使她成為沒人疼愛的孤獨狗。

我想可能Trouble 還寧願去香港作Cash or Buddy 吧
至少可以去跟很多狗交一些朋友 或玩著撲倒的遊戲
對於萬貫家財的Trouble 而言 也許做人還比作狗快樂一點
這天冰箱裡的冰淇淋吃完了
去採購的時候發現美國的冰淇淋種類還真是繁多

Reese's and Oreo 的冰淇淋應該也不錯吃吧!

韓茲利在本月20日逝世後，曼哈坦法庭28日公布她的遺囑，在近40億元遺產中，其生前愛犬分得1200萬元，且交代這隻狗死後也要葬在一起。而家族所有人不但獲分配的遺產全比狗少，甚至有兩個孫子一毛錢也分不到。
享年87歲的韓茲利因心臟病去逝，她那名叫「小麻煩」的瑪爾濟斯(Maltese)愛犬，未來幾年將過著富裕的日子。因為遺囑指出，要專門為小狗設置一個1200萬元的信託基金，並指定其弟弟羅紹森(Alvin Rosenthal)負責照顧小狗的生活。
不僅如此，韓茲利在遺囑中寫說：「我指示，小狗未來死後，遺體必須葬在墓園我的遺體旁。」
韓茲利在遺囑上指出，分給羅紹森一千萬元、司機10萬元，而其在1982年已去世的獨子所生的四個孩子中，有兩人分不到任何遺產，她還註明「什麼理由當事人心知肚明」，另外兩個孫子則各得五百萬元。不過，韓茲利特別要求，兩個孫子必須每年至少去父親墓碑前一次，否則也拿不到錢。為了確定孫子有祭拜亡父，韓茲利下令在墓園放了一本訪客簽名簿。
韓茲利所留遺產將再扣除三百萬元墓園永久維護費用，她交代每年至少要用高壓蒸氣清洗墓園一次，其餘龐大遺產將全部納入慈善信託基金，但用途不明。對於這項遺產分配，韓茲利家族及律師均不願表示意見。韓茲利在「富比世雜誌」全球富人排名第369位。在1988年曾逃稅受審，因又貪又富，被外界譏為「吝嗇皇后」，她曾說過：「只有小人物才繳稅」。

聽說已經要用這筆費用請一個專門照顧狗的人
平平都是白毛狗, 看樣子這一位TROUBLE 可以說是狗界的翹楚吧

這種東西真是連狗都不理阿!)General Information
