Blind, Malnourished Horses Abandoned - Andrea Austin [ 6/11/2003 - 09:41 ] # Barbara Baker and her staff at Horses' Haven in Howell have rescued 2 horses that were abandoned in northern Michigan. Blue and Sunday suffer from different forms of neglect, one has a swollen belly from worms and the other is so malnutritioned that his ribs are showing. Both horses are blind... The horses will remain at Horses' Haven permanently, but those interested can sponsor a horse for as little as $10 a month. There are many other ways to help, including volunteering at the farm! Editor's note: check out the Horses' Haven website...it is very well done! Five paws! more from WDIV Channel 4... endorsed businesses feel-good metro detroit rescue technology volunteers

Staff at London Wildcare Centre in Wallington, Surrey, say the animal would probably have been picked off by a predator because of his distinctive colour had he not been spotted by a passer-by. Experts say the five-week-old squirrel, named Persil by staff at the centre, beat odds of 100,000 to one to be born completely albino. more from Ananova... babies good samaritins rescue wildlife world

Girl Scouts Rescue Fifth-Floor Birds - Andrea Austin [ 5/29/2003 - 11:59 ] # The fifth floor of the Fisher Building in downtown Detroit was the spot that Mom and Dad Peregrine Falcon chose to house their nest.

The little ones will be tagged and then put back in their nest, moved to a safer place in the fifth floor.

Find Your New Pet Online - Andrea Austin [ 5/28/2003 - 16:40 ] # Ever think about adopting a loving pet from a shelter or rescue? Ever changed you mind because it's so hard to see all the others in their cages? Ever not been able to find the breed/size/age/sex you're looking for at your local shelter? The infamous Daisy, Eric's and my second baby girl and Pepper's sister, came to us all the way from Big Rapids, Mi. We happened to find her online at www.Petfinder.org. I loved this site because you're able to search for the extact type of pet you want from thousands of shelters all over the country. Also, most of the shelters have online applications so you can get pre-approved for your new little baby. Only bummer: the site's a little slow. Let's hope it's because their server's jammed from all the traffic! For those of you that have met Daisy, you'll all agree that she's just the best! Maybe it's because she was rescued from death row in the city pound. Maybe it's because she's just so cute! One extra bonus about adoption: Pepper, our Jack Russell Terrier, was $450. Paired with her puppy shots she was over $500! Little Daisy the "Long Duck Dong" (80's maniacs will recognise that name) was only $75, and she already had her shots!

Iraqi Dog Rescued, Sent To Michigan Vet - Andrea Austin [ 5/28/2003 - 12:29 ] # An American soldier resqued a German Shepard from the hands of a few Iraqis. He found them beating the dog and dragging it by a wire. The soldier, who happens to be a veterinarian, cared for the dog at camp, and then spent $1,500 of his own money to fly the dog to the care of a friend in Michigan. When the soldier returns, he will bring the dog home with him to Texas. BRAVO! WDIV Channel 4 adoption good samaritins metro detroit rescue world
