I am so thankful for Euro Puppy.We renamed Diesel and his name is now Bison. He is an amazing young dog and really gets along well with others. This is Bison and his friend Rocco an Alaskan Husky. They are great friends Bison is really happy!!! I really hope to get Bison a friend when Euro Puppy has Red Siberian Husky puppies! I will send another picture as he gets bigger. Just dropping in to say that Kiska is doing very well. I took her to the vet today and she weighs almost 16 pounds. She had a deworming vaccine, 2 other vaccines, and another rabies shot because Germany doesnt recognize the rabies vaccine if it was given to them younger than 12 weeks old. She is amazing and she is so playful and energetic! We are still potty training her though. Using the Kennel method which we had to buy her a big one because she quickly outgrew the one she came with. She seems to be catching on quickly. I have attatched a few pictures of her. This is Charleen's winning video contest entry, featuring their beautiful Siberian Husky puppy, Hachi.

Hi Eddie,Sorry for the delay! Drake is doing fine and my daughter really adores him.He is still a little confused, but he is settling in. I have attached three pictures and will forward more when the chance arises. Eddie,I took Sage to the vet today, everything checks out ok. She had a slight sore throat it seemed, but the doctor said this was just from all the stress of traveling and a new home. She seems to be enjoying my house just fine, I think she was excited to see so many things to chew on(mostly not her toys) She really seems to like biting at socks, especially while I'm wearing them :)I'll send pictures soon, thanks again for all your help, Sage is such a sweet puppy, smart too. Hello Eddie,We picked up Igloo from the airport Friday with no problems. We were so excited to see him! After sleeping most of the day he got up the next morning ready to play. Igloo has been chasing the ball around the yard and chewing on his rope toy ever since.Thanks,Mason and Kattie Trantham

Hey Eddie,We received her yesterday night and we have decided to call her Alice...just got back from the vets about an hour a go, she is good and healthy...if there is anything else you need from us just let us know....thank you for all of your help and happy holidays.More than 170 dogs that were destined to be killed and eaten have been rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea. The dogs – which included golden retrievers, Siberian huskies, rottweilers and St Bernards – had been confined in their cages from birth. The farm in Wonju is just one of thousands across the country, where dogs are bred specifically for consumption. The animals were part of a consignment of 250 dogs and puppies rescued by Humane Society International (HSI). This is the fifth such farm that the charity has closed down as part of its campaign to end the eating of dogs in South Korea. The rescued dogs will be flown to animal shelters and rescue centres in the US and Canada, where they will be put up for adoption.

The owner of the dog farm contacted HSI and said he was happy to get out of the dog meat business. 4 Bedroom Homes For Sale In Harlingen Tx"It's a dying business," he said. Used Hot Tubs Medford Oregon"In the past, people ate dogs because there was nothing else to eat but nowadays, young people don't have to eat it. Great Dane Puppies Wilson NcIt's becoming weird for people." HSI points out that most people in South Korea don't regularly eat dogs, and the practice is increasingly falling out of favour with the younger generation. However, during the hottest days of summer – a period known locally as Bok Nal – dog meat stew will be widely consumed even by those who don't normally eat it, in the unfounded belief that it cools the blood.

Hundreds of thousands of dogs will be slaughtered at this time, as an estimated 60-80% of the entire year's dog meat is eaten in just two months, most often at one of South Korea's thousands of dedicated dog meat restaurants.Up to three million dogs are thought to endure extreme deprivation on farms every year, kept in small, barren wire cages without any comfort or proper care, until the day they are killed, usually by electrocution. Dog farmers intensively breed dogs throughout the year, but often wait to sell them for slaughter at Bok Nal when they will fetch the highest price. A large dog can fetch around £120 each, with a bowl of dog meat stew selling for as little as £3-£6.Most people in South Korea never visit a dog meat farm and are unaware of the suffering experienced by the dogs. There is also a widespread misconception that farmed dogs are somehow different in nature to companion dogs, a myth that Humane Society International is keen to dispel. On every farm closed so far by HSI, a mixture of breeds has been discovered, from large mastiffs to tiny chihuahuas.

Alerting Koreans to the fact that these are no different from the dogs we live with at home is a key part of HSI's message. HSI is working in countries across Asia to end the grisly dog meat trade. Efforts include: intercepting trucks crammed with dogs headed for slaughter in China; providing expertise to train officials for improved enforcement of laws and humane rabies elimination in Vietnam; and helping dog meat farmers in South Korea transition to more humane ways of making a living.After a journey of 7,000 miles, Joey, Liberty, and Tisha are looking for new homes in South Jersey. The three dogs, all females, were taken in late April from a dog meat farm in Wonju, South Korea, as part of a broader effort by the Humane Society International to shut down such farms in that country. They arrived in Camden County about two weeks ago and are available for adoption at the Camden County Animal Shelter in Gloucester Township. The Humane Society delivered 171 Korean dogs to U.S. shelters, including St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center in Madison, N.J., where Joey, a golden retriever;

Liberty, a Siberian husky; and Tisha, a Tosa Inu, first traveled. The three arrived at the Camden County shelter after receiving veterinary care. Vicki Rowland, executive director of the shelter, said that although the dogs had received extensive veterinary and behavioral care since arriving, they still need "training, socialization, and lots of love" from their eventual owners. She said the shelter would work with the families that adopt each dog to ensure that the canines get the care they require. Applications for adoption are being accepted. For the Camden County Animal Shelter, an open-care facility that welcomes any dogs brought to its doors, the three new arrivals represent a new chapter. "It really is new territory for us," Rowland said. "We're really, extremely fortunate to not only serve dogs and animals that we have in Camden County, but to be able to extend that to these dogs from Korea." Freeholder Jeffrey L. Nash said Camden County had been a leader in combating animal violence.
