My New Pal Smoky Joe

Hi my Pals! Today I am dedicating my blog to a new friend, his name is Smokey Joe and is a labradoodle. My Sisters, Boyfriends Family rescued him on Daddy's Day. Isn't that cool? They had a  sweet doggy that passed away a few months ago and they were ready for a new one. 

 Smokey Joe was on Petfinder, which is where my family found me. Smokey had been up for adoption for so long that he was soon going back to a shelter. The shelter he was going to was the kind that does that thing we don't like to think about to pets that don't get adopted. Smokey Joe is fine now and he has signs of abuse, some scars and he is bone skinny, but he is a lovey guy and is settling in very well with his new family

I can tell you from personal experience that Boyfriend and his Family are really good and kind pet owners. Smokey is a lucky boy.  He doesn't like other pets so far and is afraid of himself in the mirror and he doesn't like squeaky toys, cause they scare him. He is hungry all the time and will even resort to stealing foodables, but he needs to gain weight so they make sure he is well fed.
Boyfriend was told that poor Smokey was left chained up in a yard all day with very little contact of any kind. I bet he never even had a toy before. He loves to go for walks and he even likes baths(yuck) and he like rawhide chews.

I haven't met him yet cause he needs to get used to his family and so far he barks and growls at other doggies. I know he will be fine and I am proud to introduce him to all of you. Welcome to a furever home full of loveys Smokey Joe. 


On that note Mommy and I are asking you to take time to read this and sign it . I know it is a very sad issue, but if a pet has to go the Rainbow Bridge, they shouldn't have to suffer so much first. If you click on "Take Action Now" it should take you to another page.  Thank you from me and Mommy.

Loveys Sasha

Dear Michigan Advocates,

Please join the ASPCA in supporting Michigan Senate Bills 423 and 424 to outlaw the use of gas chambers to kill companion animals. The bills are nicknamed “Grant’s Bills” after a friendly dog who died in a Michigan animal control shelter’s gas chamber.

Euthanizing animals by gas chamber is an inhumane, prolonged process that can take up to 45 minutes. Many animals panic during the procedure, and first attempts occasionally are unsuccessful.

If no homes can be found for certain pets housed in Michigan’s animal shelters, they at the very least deserve their final hours to be free from pain and stress. A direct injection of the drug sodium pentobarbital by a trained professional is painless, takes effect within seconds, and is accepted by all national veterinary and humane organizations as the most humane method currently available for ending an animal’s life.

Michigan’s shelter animals should be entitled to the same level of humane, end-of-life care your pet would receive. Please tell your state senator to help pass Grant’s Bills to ban gas chambers statewide and make lethal injection the only legal method of euthanizing animals in shelters.




What You Can Do
Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center online to email your state senator in Lansing and urge him/her to support and pass Grant’s Bills!

Thank you for your help, Michigan.

What a great looking guy! :) I am very happy that he has found his furever home now!! :) I agree with Puddles, hoomans who act like that should get all their greenpapers taken away and learn what it means to be put in a very small kennel for life.

Hi Sashy
Thank you for telling us about Smokey Joe! We are so happy that he has a forever home and will be loved.
It will take time for him to realize that he will be taken care of and not hurt. I can't wait to hear all about how he learns to play with toys and meet you!

We also read that news clipping you posted and we agree with you!
love
