Mayor James Valley of Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, has been fined over $1900 for being a total freaking moron. More specifically, he ordered the release of 10 dogs in the middle of the forest deciding they were better “free” than being strays.He made this brilliant decision after deciding to lower the number of strays in the area after residents complained that the local shelter was too dilapidated to be adequate.
Two of the dogs were shot when seen on someone’s property. The rest were saved by Northeast Arkansans for Animals.

Hooray for Pedigree, they will be pushing their adoption campaign during the Superbowl instead of a normal commercial supporting their food. Ohmidog has more.
Sad news for shelter animals today, the Durham Region Humane Society in Oshawa, Ontario lost 150 animals in a fire. Only 10 animals -8 dogs and 2 cats were able to be saved. Many dogs were already picked for adoption and just waiting to go home.
The Durham organization relies solely on donations and has been trying for years to find a better shelter to replace the building they occupied for 20 years.
Monetary donations can be made via their website, humanedurham.com, or by contacting the Ontario SPCA at 1-888-668-7722, ext. 323.

Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter is offering discount animal adoptions for the rest of the month and dogs over 2 years old are free.
If you’re looking for a new pet and are in the Baltimore area, don’t miss out on this great chance to get a new muttski in your family.
If you aren’t in that area, you still may check your local shelter for recession specials, as many places are getting flooded with abandoned pets from families who can no longer afford them.
