The Ward Pack sends their sympathies to Martha. I’m sure the Rainbow Dogsters will keep an eye out for Paw Paw.
Thanks to the SFGate Daily Dish for this sad news.

I can’t pass up a great Dogsters helping Dogsters story! Wendy, Daisy Mae’s furmom, barked in this lovely story and thank you for all the Catsters and Dogsters who reached out a paw to them in a bad time.

I wasn’t sure if there was a way for me to thank the Dogsters here maybe in your blog?
See here’s the story.

What a story! Dogster Zita was lost for two years and has now been found!
Dear Dogster…if you want happy endings, here is one you won’t believe.
My name is “zita” and I am a guide dog in Israel. i had a diary here over two years ago. However, in March 2006, I got lost. This last Thursday (Jan. 2008!) I was found. Don’t you think that this is a wonderful story that others might want to know about???
And here is Zita’s story:
Zita Has Been Found!
26 January 2008 at 9:37 a.m.
What more an appropriate entry to this diary, which has been ignored for so long, than with the ecstatic news of the recovery of Zita.
The story is related to my trip to Vietnam, which will be recounted here, eventually, as you will see forthwith.
So here is the story, step by miraculous step.

Dogster is a little quieter and much sadder today. Odie, the Pug known internationally as “the talking dog,” is now gracing the Rainbow Bridge with his lovely “I love you’s.”

Dogster Samantha was stolen from her home in Brooklyn, New York! The evil thieves broke in and all they took was Samantha and her carrier! Sounds to me like the break-in was FOR Samantha.
Samantha’s family is heartsick and offering a $1000 reward. If you know anyone who might know where this little Dogster is, please help get her home!

Aren’t Dogsters and Catsters just the best?!?!? I know you probably get tired of me saying that (I don’t) but it’s soooooo true! We know Dogsters and Catsters are there to support each other in bad times. Look at the Chapel of Hope Dogster Odysseus set up in the Dog Park PlayGround and Pawty Place.
Welcome to the Chapel of Hope!
We welcome all our members to come in and have a look around.

Samson’s foster furmom Jayne barked in about a fundraising effort going on in Georgia.
If you’ve adopted a dog from a northeastern shelter you may very well have a dog with a southern accent. Keep that in mind when considering whether or not to make a small donation to Saving Georgia Dogs.
Jayne and Saving Georgia Dogs are an inspiration for us all! Here’s a link to the Dogster Forum page for Saving Georgia Dogs.
And please notice that Samson is looking for a new home. If you are looking for a new furbaby check him out! He’s got a great smile!
Hi Joy,
I don’t know if you remember me, but last year you posted a thread on the Blog about a bad situation at the animal control facility in Tipton County, TN.
That situation really inspired me to expand my work beyond local rescue (which I still do) to help with dogs in the South, and in particular TN and GA (two states that have HIGH kill rates in their shelters). I am now on the board of directors of Saving Georgia Dogs, Inc. a non-profit GA rescue that rescues dogs on death row in GA and transports them to rescues all over the country (sometimes metro-Atlanta, but more often the Northeast U.S. where the adoption rates are much higher).

Every day, Dogsters are making us all proud as they make the world better in all kinds of ways. Many Dogster and Catster groups work hard to help other pups and kittens. Doggie Do Gooders is one of these marvelous groups.
Gibbon and his furmom Jazmine barked in to share a sweet story of a Dogster who gave what she could to help dogs she had never met.
Gibbon and Jazmine wrote:
Hi Joy! As you have previously blogged here, Doggie Do Gooders is a special group that helps one rescue at a time by nominating, voting for and then donating to one special animal organization every month. For January, the pick of the month was Amazing Aussies, a shelter that saves Lethal White Australian Shepherds and matching them with new forever families while raising awareness to eradicate Merle-to-Merle breeding through educational programs. Them name “Lethal White” in reference to Aussies stems from the fact that these white pups have historically been destroyed at birth because of the likelihood they may be blind, deaf or both.
