Bunny Roo's Quick Tip of the Week! |
Wash Some Dogs & Raise Some Money! |
Want to earn some money for your favorite animal rescue group and have some fun at the same time? Why not host a community dog wash?! No, NOT car wash…..a DOG WASH!!! Sounds fun…doesn’t it!? Washing the dog isn’t high on many people’s “To Do” lists but it is a task that must be done (that is if you want a sweet smelling pooch!). You just might be surprised at how many people turn up with their pups to take advantage of an inexpensive bath! So gather together some dog-loving volunteers and lather up those pups. Have fun! |
Don't be shy...send in your dog's photo today! |
Danielle first saw Olive’s picture on Craigslist. When she saw the photo, she cried. When I first saw the photo, I cried too. How anyone could starve and neglect a dog until it was near death is beyond my comprehension. Olive was seized from her owner because of abuse and neglect. She was held at the LA County Shelter (better known as, The Pound) for two months as evidence. To this day, no charges have ever been filed. One look at Olive’s “before” photo and it is easy to see that she never received the justice she so deserves. |
Olive the Pit Bull |
Olive's Before Photo |
Though she wasn’t abused at the shelter, her life there wasn’t much better than it had been before. Olive had little to no human contact, and lived on a cold, hard cement floor inside a kennel... twenty-four hours a day. She was filthy, had scars all over her face and neck and her ears were in poor shape. |
Thank goodness Danielle saw Olive on Craigslist that day....for this story does have a happy ending. Danielle rescued Olive from the Los Angeles Shelter she had once called home. |
When Danielle met Olive she sat down on the floor in front of her not knowing what to expect. Olive approached and to Danielle’s surprise, sat down on her lap! Danielle, knowing she had to help, immediately filled out an application. She was the only person interested in poor, sweet, Olive. Before she left, Danielle looked into Olive’s eyes and said “Bye, baby, I will see you tomorrow. Your new life will begin tomorrow and no one will ever abuse you again!” Danielle volunteers with a dog rescue group in California and has since found a forever loving home for Olive. Olive is thriving and is slowly learning to trust humans. Danielle wants people to know that when they purchase a dog....beautiful shelter animals DIE. |
The adorable Olive, now! |
We at Bunny Roo Beagle salute Danielle for all of the work she does with homeless dogs. She helped a dog that truly deserved a second chance and a better life. Thank you, Danielle!! |

Adoption Is The BEST option!! |
Adoption is the BEST Option!! |
It is not uncommon for older dogs to suddenly start having accidents in the house. This may happen because of a disease that is causing your older pooch to drink more, a weakened bladder due to age, or even “Doggie Alzheimers” which has caused your dog to forget his good manners! If possible, take your older friend outside every three or four hours during the day to help maintain his housebreaking skills. Also, it is very important that you take your pooch to the veterinarian. There are treatments available to assist with older dog ailments. |
Every Dog Has Its Day Care! |
Who knew that one day there would be daycare for dogs! A place for pups to romp and play while their owners sit in cubicles earning their pay. Hey, that rhymed! Anyway…Whether you think the concept is ridiculous or not…doggie daycares are the latest trend and a popular one at that! If you are planning on signing your pooch up for day care…make certain that you do your homework! After all, you do want to know where you are leaving your dog…don’t you!?! Below are some questions to ask when shopping for a dog daycare facility. |
Doggie Day Care is a great way for your pup to burn off energy while you are at work! |
-Know the staff! How experienced is the staff that will be taking care of your dog? Are they accredited? Will they provide references? -How much green stuff will come out of your wallet? How much does the facility charge? Are there any special / extra fees? -Are they legit? Make sure the facility is licensed and bonded! This is a MUST. -Playtime! How often are the dogs exercised and allowed to relieve themselves? Do they separate large and small dogs during play sessions? -Medical Care Does the facility work with a specific veterinarian? If so, are they on call at all times in case of an emergency? -Time to Get Pretty! Does the facility offer grooming services? If so, what is the cost? -Chow Time! How often are the dogs fed? Will you need to provide food and treats? |
Good Luck and here’s to finding the best daycare facility for your pup! |
Bernese Mountain Dog |
Country of Origin: Switzerland |
The Bernese Mountain Dog was originally named for the Canton of Bern and was developed as an all purpose farm dog. They were brought to the United States for the first time in 1926. This breed is large, powerful and BEAUTIFUL!! They are 23 to 28 inches in height, weigh 75 to 105 pounds and live approximately six to nine years. The Bernese Mountain Dog is friendly, calm and lovable. They love people and are the ideal family pet. |
This breed is jet black in color with rich tan on all four legs, cheeks, and over the eyes. White usually covers the face and chest areas. They have a heavy coat which needs a deep brushing at least twice a week. They shed heavily so owning a good vacuum is a must! |
The Bernese Mountain Dog doesn’t need as much exercise as one might think. Though they do love to run and play, a thirty to sixty minute walk each day is acceptable. This dog is willing to please, however, they can be stubborn! Training is a must and needs to be consistent and firm. A patient owner who is willing to train early and often will see results. |
Sadly, the Bernese Mountain Dog is known to have a short life expectancy. However, they are good natured, confident dogs who will quickly become your best friend and a loving member of the family. They are large, working dogs so an apartment pooch he is not! This breed needs large, open spaces to romp and play. |

Did You Know.... |
The Best Friends Animal Society is sponsoring a “No More Homeless Pets” National Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 24th – 26th. I had never heard of this conference before but was interested the second I read about it! At the conference they teach the latest and greatest lifesaving programs including how to best educate the public about the importance of spaying and neutering. They also have several guest speakers. This year, puppy mills will be a huge topic of discussion along with saving feral cats. If you want more information about this wonderful conference, please click HERE! |
Recently, legislation was passed by the Georgia State Legislature to make it a felony to own, possess, train, transport or sell ANY dog for the intention of dog fighting! Although dog fighting was already a felony in Georgia, this new law assigns first time offenders a mandatory penalty of either one to five years imprisonment, a minimum fine of $5,000, or both. Georgia is now among the states with some of the strongest dog fighting laws! Thanks, Georgia! |
Way to Go Georgia! |
The ASPCA recently sponsored a cat photo contest.....click HERE to view some of the photos! Warning: They are adorable! |
The amount of time a dog spends sleeping per day depends on the breed. However, the average amount of shut-eye is fourteen hours! Larger dogs, such as the St. Bernard, can sleep up to 18 hours per day! That’s a lot of beauty rest! Sweet dreams! |
Time for Bed! |
Beat the Teething Blues! |
Just like babies, puppies can also suffer from teething pain. Though puppies tend to be pretty stoic about the pain they may be experiencing, loose teeth and inflamed gums can be very uncomfortable! Babies find relief by chewing on frozen teething rings or rubber toys...why not provide the same relief for your pup!? Store bought chew toys make great teething aids, or, if you wish, you can make your own! Simply soak an old wash cloth or dish rag in water, twist it several times and freeze solid. Your puppy will enjoy chewing on the frozen cloth and get some much needed pain relief at the same time. Oh, and for the record, puppies have 30 teeth while our adult friends have 42. Here’s to healthy teeth and gums! |
Did You Know........... |
To reduce the risk of cancer, a female dog should be spayed before her first heat, usually between the ages of six and eighteen months of age! Now you know! |
Crest is for Humans...How About for Dogs? |
Nope, sorry, you can’t use human toothpaste on dogs. Why? Well, the answer is simple...dogs can’t spit! Human toothpaste is not meant to be consumed...by humans or dogs! Dogs will swallow while getting their teeth brushed so their toothpaste must be edible. It is also important that the toothpaste you use on your pooch tastes good (to them, not to you!). If your dog likes the taste the better chance you have of them sitting still as you clean their pearly whites. |
Dog toothpaste comes in many different flavors including beef and chicken. Try different flavors until you find one that your dog howls about! Good luck and here’s to a sparkling canine smile! |

Looking Ahead...... |
October is Adopt-a-Dog Month! |
The American Humane Association started Adopt-a-Dog Month to promote dog adoption and responsible pet care. If you can’t adopt a new friend, consider helping in other ways such as volunteering at an adoption event, becoming a foster parent, or by simply making a donation! Adoption is the BEST option! |
