SPECIAL REPORT!
Sadie the 14 Freeway Dog
We held the presses until we could tell the story of Sadie's rescue from the 14 Freeway in Littlerock. It's a great example of how people come together to help the animals. The trap we used was borrowed, and we now see how important it is to have our own traps, so we can catch more "desert dogs" in need of rescue and neutering, and help other local rescue groups with their captures. We can only do this with your help! Remember: All donations go directly to vet bills, housing, and food for the dogs we care for.
Just click on the PayPal button below to make any donation (even $5 or $10 helps!).

Sadie the 14 Freeway Dog
A Community Comes Together We're calling her Sadie. She looks about 1-2 years old, Shar-Pei and possibly Lab. She's sweet, cuddly, and although still shy of strangers, super affectionate with Susan and me. I had her walking on a leash by morning, and by afternoon she was bounding up to Susan wagging her tail, and literally prancing and jogging with us on leash. We've had her off-leash in a fenced area, and inside the house with the cats, whom she ignores. Sadie was examined, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed Tuesday, March 11. Now she's looking for her forever home. Let's get the word out; the adoption application is available on our website.
The Antelope Valley Press ran a front-page article about Sadie on March 11!
Thanks to all who cared, and especially to John Mortimer. Not only did he help Carolyn trap Sadie, but he contributed much of the money for her spay and shots. We are so grateful to John--he is our hero!

Neuters of the Month
King George
 | | Ready to rule! |
George is a big personality in a tiny package. He showed up on Camille's doorstep and just invited himself in. We had him neutered, and now she's working with Halfway to Home to find a kingdom to rule.
"Cool" Cat
Someone dropped this purebred Siamese at our neighbor's door, with a gaping wound on his back, filthy, and really smelly. We took him to be neutered and have his wound treated, and our wonderful vet, Gay Naiditch of High Desert Animal Care, is fostering him through his recovery and finding him a home (if she can part with him). A great outcome for a "Cool" cat. |
The Pet Detective
Puppy Patrol
The Pet Detective had been tracking a female near our home who had just had puppies. She was able to identify the house she lived in, but not where the puppies were!
When she approached the owner of the house, he told her that the dog actually belonged to a friend of his. He located the puppies, and we were able to pick them up and get them to our favorite no-kill shelter.
We'll update you next month on their status. The shelter says their puppies are going fast, so we feel confident they will find homes soon!
Next we need to get the Mom and her two female friends spayed, so there won't be more puppies in need of homes.

About SNIP
SNIP is a 501(c)(3) promoting the spay/neuter of domestic pets in Lake Los Angeles and Littlerock in Southern California.
Our service is unique in that we pick up pet from the owner, take it to the vet for surgery, and either return it to the owner or find it a home. SNIP bears the entire cost of the neuter.
We rely on the expert assistance of High Desert Animal Care and the Littlerock Pet Clinic, and donations from pet lovers who know the vital importance of keeping pet population under control so pets are not abandoned in the desert or neglected and mistreated at home.
We want all pets to be lovingly cared for!
