Sassy
Makes Her Modeling Debut
Sassy is a featured subject of award winning
photographer Isa Leshko's Elderly Animals project.
Sassy
is a 12-year-old Chinese Crested who has lived with a
lifetime of epilepsy, thyroid and heart problems. She
came to us in lieu of euthanasia in May 2006 when her
people could no longer afford her medical care.
In the
summer of 2009, Sassy was diagnosed with congestive
heart failure. As we manage her quality of life, a
cocktail of medications keeps her comfortable and happy.
Some days she's down right chipper.

India's
Last "Dancing Bear" Freed
International Animal Rescue
reports that the last sloth bear used for street
entertainment has been freed. This ancient practice was
torturous for the bears and IAR has worked tirelessly to
free them, successfully rescuing more than 500 bears,
with the help of other charities, in a five-year
campaign to end the practice. The sloth bears, a highly
endangered species, were purchased by traders and
trained through fear and torture tools to dance on their
hind legs to performance music.

Education
is the Heart of Sanctuary
Let's face it, no one
animal sanctuary can save every animal that needs
help. For every animal that finds sanctuary, many
more remain homeless or are living in jeopardy. That fact makes our jobs much bigger than just
providing save haven for animals. That's where our
humane education programs come in.
