Please do this for the SPCA - literally 15 seconds

Aloha, animal lovers!
This is pretty simple... Please ask ten friends to each ask a further ten today!
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing.
Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know.

AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS!

HOORAY!!! 1st Goal Met 100 Fans of Hawaii Go Local

dennislubrano — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:04:29 GMT

Aloha Everyone:

Great news!!!

Hawaii Go Local has reached fanship of 100. So our next goal is to make as many of them who reside in Hawaii Network member VOLUNTEERS.

Plus we want to now begin to double the fan count to 200!

Lets all make this happen.

Mahalo to those of you who attended our first Party For A Purpose last Saturday, you all helped to make it a huge success.

All of the local rescues could use some extra hands during this holiday season as it is another great opportunity for adopting and finding Forever Homes For the animals. So why not contact a few to see how you can help? I do!

Be sure to add the forum as your favorite and sign up for automated alerts sent to your email?

Happy Turkey Day!

3 HDF Dogs Need Foster Homes ASAP for the Holidaze!

dennislubrano — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:50:07 GMT

Aloha Hawaii Dog Foundation supporters,

The holidays are coming up and we are in desperate need for short-term and longer-term foster homes for our dogs. Please let us know if you are able to share your home with a dog in need, even for just one week. Currently, the dogs that are in need of a foster home include:

Lucky, an elderly chihuahua male, whose foster mom is going away for Thanksgiving (11/23-11/30). Lucky is house-broken, mellow and very sweet. We are looking for someone to care for him for just one week.

Kingston, a 1-yr old beagle/chihuahua mix male - Kingston is very loving and enjoys the company of humans, dogs and cats. He enjoys his daily walks but is also happy to chill out at home with you. Kingston is looking for a foster home for the next few weeks until he gets adopted. Please see his photos at:

http://www.hawaiidogfoundation.org/Adoptions/neednow.htm#Kingston

****************************************

Kai, a 9 month old male shepherd-mix puppy - Kai has lots of energy and loves to run and play. His favorite things include chew toys, treats, rides in the car, and going to the dog park. He is good with other dogs, however he'd do best in a home without young kids or cats. Please see his photos at:

http://www.hawaiidogfoundation.org/Adoptions/neednow.htm#Kai

Please call us at 782-8387 if you are able to foster one of these dogs, or fill out an online foster questionnaire and specify which dog you are interested in fostering:

LOST CAT in Maunawili & Kailua Areas Kukilakila Town Home area

dennislubrano — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:36:15 GMT

Harry

Attached are some photos of Harry, he is 7 years old, all black, a tiny bit balding on his head.

In certain lights the back of his tail looks gray; but it’s not on a day-to-day basis.

Harry actually escaped from the Cozy Cat Lodge on Ulupii Street (near Maunawili School) on the same day

He is micro-chipped, and was last wearing a white flea collar with heart-shaped ID tag with his name

and my cell phone number on it, but he could have easily slipped out of it since then, which I believe he has.

I am always adding great files etc to it for you all to download and pass along to share with others.

Recently a Feline Habitat set of plans and photos was added. Plus this habitat can be covered differently so it can become a bird aviary. Also it was designed so it could easily be taken apart and moved.

There is a word document full of FREE Coupons for Pet Food, Pet Treats, Etc . there too.

So enjoy and be sure to click on the alert button in the forum so you will be emailed when anything here is posted or updated.

20 Volunteers Needed to Help
Build Punee Beds

Saturday, Nov. 14
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Join us in a fun day at the Oahu SPCA making Punee Beds. This is our second fundraiser. No experience is necessary. Volunteer duties include measuring and cutting PVC pipe, framing PVC, and securing canvas.

Please email alicia@oahuspca.org if you're able to kokua. Also - please let us know if you can bring the following supplies:

Circular saw
Electric drill with phillips bit
Rubber mallets
Extention cords

The punee is an island tradition - perfect for afternoon naps or used as a guest bed. Our poi dogs and popoki deserve the very best, so we provide them with punee to sleep on instead of the cold, hard concrete floor. The Oahu SPCA punee beds are soft, dry and off the floor and are a great way for our animals to relax and reduce their stress.

Give your favorite pet a special place to rest by pre-ordering an Oahu SPCA Punee. Or give a punee as a holiday gift to another four-legged or furry friend! All proceeds benefit the animals at the Oahu SPCA. Look at how much Teddy Bear loves his punee (see above).

By pre-ordering your punee, you'll save $10!

All punee are made with a natural colored, heavy and durable canvas and screened with the Oahu SPCA logo. No glue is used in the process - just a lot of TLC. Mahalo to Linda Vanatta for securing the screened fabric.

Beds are available in three sizes (prices listed do not reflect the pre-order discount):

18" x 25" - $30
23" x 35" - $40
27" x 44" - $50

For more information or an order form, please contact Alicia Maluafiti at alicia@oahuspca.org. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Pictures with Santa Claws and Mrs. Paws

Saturday and Sunday
November 21 - 22, 2009
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Bring your favorite furry or four-legged friend to the Oahu SPCA for a picture with Santa Claws and Mrs. Paws.

For $25, receive a framed 8"x10" print or digital copy. For just $5 more, receive both! All proceeds benefit the rescued animals at the Oahu SPCA.

This holiday event will also include:

Shelter tours & Open House
Punee Beds Fundraiser
Holiday Craft Fair
Adoption & Fostering Information
Adorable Adoptables
Plus - all families will receive a Petco goody bag for feline or canine!

Help promote this event! Download the flyer - Pictures with Santa Claws and Mrs. Paws. Invite your family, friends and coworkers to join us at the shelter in Kalaeloa. Hope to see you there!

Please Join A Peaceful Demo About Foie Gras

Saturday November 14 - David Paul's Island Grill Restaurant, Lahaina

Please join other IDA members in Hawaii for a peaceful demonstration against foie gras at David Paul's Island Grill Restaurant on Saturday, November 14.

Signs & literature will be provided, but feel free to bring your own signs.

What: Foie Gras Demonstration
When: Saturday, Nov. 14, 6 - 8 pm (please meet at 5:45)
Where: David Paul's Island Grill Restaurant, 900 Front Street A101, Lahaina

If you have questions about this demo please contact Barbara Steinberg,h2ocolor@webtv.net, 879-0025.

For questions about IDA's foie gras campaign: Hope Bohanec, Grassroots Campaigns Director, hope@idausa.org, (415) 448-0048 ext. 208.

Background

Foie gras (pronounced “fwah grah”), French for “fatty liver”, is made from the enlarged livers of male ducks and geese. Birds used for foie gras are kept in tiny wire cages or packed into sheds. Two or three times every day, up to 4 pounds of grain and fat are pumped into the bird’s stomachs through pipes that are shoved down their throats.

This force-feeding causes the bird’s livers to become diseased and swell to up 10 times their normal size. Many birds become too sick to stand. The pipes sometimes puncture birds’ throats, and the massive amount of food sometimes ruptures their stomachs and other internal organs.

Female hatchlings, who are useless to foie gras farmers, are often drowned in scalding water, suffocated in plastic bags, or shredded alive in macerators. Foie gras production is so cruel that it has been banned in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Israel, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K. In the U.S., the state of California passed a law that will ban the production and sale of foie gras throughout the state by 2012.

For more information: http://www.banfoiegras.com/

In Defense of Animals, located in San Rafael, Calif., is an international animal protection organization with more than 85,000 members and supporters dedicated to ending the abuse and exploitation of animals by protecting their rights and welfare. IDA's efforts include educational events, cruelty investigations, boycotts, grassroots activism, and hands-on rescue through our sanctuaries in Mississippi, Mumbai, India, and Cameroon, Africa.

In Defense of Animals is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We welcome your feedback and appreciate your donations. Please join today! All donations to IDA are tax-deductible.
