Puppy Free to Good Home

G'day Dog Lovers,

We've got news of a 6-month-old puppy looking for a new home. She is a Tenterfield Terrier cross Shih-Tzu whose owners have to move house and aren't able to take their dog with them.

The pup is desexed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and wormed. She's got plenty of energy and would make the perfect pet for a family with kids.

Are you interested in giving this pup a forever home? Do you know someone who might be? Call Laurie on 0450 920 311 for more information.

Save Bruce

G'day Dog Lovers,

Breed specific legislation (BSL) is always a controversial issue in the dog world and it's no different in the case of an Irish dog named Bruce. Bruce is a pitbull-cross who was taken from his family around two years ago under BSL. He never bit or attacked anyone, he did absolutely nothing wrong, but Bruce has been held captive by the Irish SPCA for almost 24 months simply because he is a pitbull cross.

Sadly, Bruce is in imminent danger of being euthanised, so an urgent campaign has been started to try to save this poor dog's life. For more information on how you can help Bruce, go to http://www.examiner.com/x-1513-Philadelphia-Dog-Advocate-Examiner~y2009m7d2-URGENT-Bruce-the-pit-bull-needs-your-intervention

What do you think about BSL? Is it effective at stopping dog attacks? Or is it simply a cruel and unsuccessful approach? Shouldn't we ban the deed, not the breed?
