 RESCUE SHELTER OF THE WEEK

Helping animals since 1885 ... a "No-Kill" facility!

 

Janine Woods of the Mobile SPCA in Alabama Joins us this week to talk about the work they are doing there rescuing animals and some of their upcoming functions. Janine also gives us a report from the front lines of the Gulf oil spill and what is happening there. They are cooperating with other agencies to help rescue the animals.

VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Vet to the Stars!

Dr. Patrick Mahaney is an expert on toxins that can affect our pet’s health and has talked to us about this before. We wanted to raise the question again about how the Gulf Oil Spill is damaging wildlife and how this toxic sludge will damage the habitat.
