HI FRIENDS!
So I have entered Sammi's photo to the BC SPCA Calendar contest for the 2013 calendar. The photo is in memory of her... As most of you know I lost her in February.

Every dollar she raises gets her a vote to have her picture in the calendar for 2013




You can help Sammi raise funds for the BC SPCA posthumously by going to http://www.bcspca.ca and clicking the Calendar Contest link on the main page - then search Sammi (2 m's!). She will be under my name (Stephanie) from Langley, BC. You can also go to http://support.spca.bc.ca/site/TR/Events/AnimalLoversCalendarContest?pg=ffind&fr_id=1360 and search Sammi.

I don't expect donations, but this place has been an amazing area to spread the word! Last time Sammi and I raised over 500 dollars for the SPCA thanks mostly in part to everyone here.



Thanks for your time!

Animal control officials are seeking the owner, or a new home, for a brave 2-year-old Labrador who refused to abandon her companion, another dog that had been struck by a car on Hacienda Boulevard in La Puente.

"Grace," as she's being called by officials from the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control, was first spotted by a passer-by Wednesday morning in the 1200 block of Hacienda Boulevard, just north of Fairgrove Avenue, DACC officials said in a written statement.

"(Grace was) laying in the street next to another dog, which was motionless and had suffered obvious head trauma," according the the statement.

dog had died, DACC spokesman Aaron Reyes said.

A good Samaritan placed traffic cones around the animals to keep Grace from being struck as well, officials said.

Animal control officials responded to the scene and took the frightened but unharmed dog to a shelter.

Grace had no tag and no microchip implant, and as of Saturday, no one had come forward to claim her, Reyes said.

If she remains unclaimed, she may available for adoption as early as Monday, he added.

Though timid when she first arrived at the shelter, "The staff just showered her with admiration and love," Reyes said. "She seems to be a well-adjusted little girl."

Animal Care and Control Director Marcia Mayeda said she was moved
by the loyalty displayed in video footage that has surfaced of Grace keeping watch over her motionless companion.

"When I saw the video clip taken from a passer-by's cell phone, it made me emotional," she said.

Grace is being housed at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, 4275 Elton Street.

Her impound number is A4416170, and she is available to visit with potential adopters through the weekend.
