Dear dog folks,
Los Alamos Shelter has a great dog named Cedar which I believe to be a golden/aussie mix.
He is 1.5 yr old neutered male, owner turn in, up to date on shots. He bonds well with people and
seems to get along with most female dogs and some low neutered males.
He gets overstimulated easily and is reactive to things like greetings, hand motions and the sight of other dogs when out walking.
When he gets overstimulated he lunges and gets mouthy (unfortunately he didn’t inherit the soft mouth of the golden!!).
This is not a great behavior to endear oneself to potential adopters. His former owners
apparently reacted by yelling and shoving which increased his anxiety/excitement and made things worse.
However, he’s one of the SMARTEST dogs I’ve ever worked with, and is responding beautifully to treats,
desensitization and clicker training. He settles well, has great focus and works so very hard for the treats.
He responds well to structure and exercise, walks nicely on leash, and is learning sit and down and to bring back toys when thrown.
Cedar actually seems relieved when his handler sets boundaries on his behavior and gives clear ideas of what she/he wants him to do.
As you can tell, I LIKE this dog, and would like to find him a dog savvy home that can give him the structure, exercise and attention
that he needs. I think with the right environment and training he will blossom into a great dog for someone. I suspect he would love agility, nosework, rally, etc but would need some careful desensitization to be calm around other dogs.
If you have any ideas or thoughts about potential adopters, please have them call
Sally Wilkins: 412 3451, 662 2773
or they can call me, Melissa Bartlett, at 505 670 1087
(note: I will be out of the country 11/1 to 11/30/)
Just trying to network for a nice dog, Please feel free to pass this information on,
Peace,
Melissa

The puppy was found in Massachusetts last week, suffering from irreparable injuries caused by long-term, systematic torture. Ultimately, the Pit Bull mix had to be euthanized when veterinarians determined she could not live a pain-free life. It was soon discovered her owner was forced to find her a new home when their landlord refused to permit the dog to live in the house, due to her concerns about Kiya’s breed appearance. This, in itself is tragic, but the suffering that followed was downright heartbreaking.
After seeing photos of the puppy’s pleading eyes, activists sprang to action, creating more than a dozen different online petitions for justice.
Are they calling for stricter penalties for perpetrators of animal abuse?
No.
Are they calling for changes in laws to prevent breed discrimination by landlords?
No.
Are they pushing for microchipping laws that would require a formal transfer of ownership process when an animal is bought or sold?
No.
So, what are the petitions with more than 100,000 signatures calling for? That the free classified page Craigslist.org, be shut down.
Kiya exchanged hands four times over the course of several months with the assistance of the page, and some are claiming, if the website didn’t exist, then Kiya never would have fallen into the hands of her abuser. I cannot comprehend the amount of naïveté that it must take for 100,000 people to believe such a backwards concept.
There are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of pet-search websites out there — for free pets, for breeders, for shelters, and for puppy mills. To say that any one advertising venue is responsible for facilitating animal torture is absurd. The only person truly responsible for the crimes against Kiya is the savage who committed those crimes. Craigslist strongly discourages giving pets away for free on their site, and hosts thousands of ads each month at no charge, for those looking to find new homes for their pets and for shelter animals. (Selling and breeding of animals is not permitted).
It may not be popular to say out loud, but is it unconscionable to find a new home for your pet if you cannot adequately care for it? And if you want to find your pet a home yourself, rather than surrender it to a shelter, where it may be euthanized or spend months, or years, in a cage, is that so wrong?
Rather than demonize a classified page, why not focus on the real problems here:
All of these issues are addressable, but armchair activism focusing on a classified page will not bring justice. Nothing can bring Kiya back, but focusing on keeping pets in their families, educating those rehoming pets on the value of a good screening process and fighting for stronger animal cruelty laws will take us one step closer to a day when tragedies like hers do not occur.
