Katherine Heigl – WebMD Magazine Cover, May 2013
6 weeks ago we rescued Wendy, a severely emaciated dog discovered by police during a raid on an apartment. Abandoned, she was found barely alive in a locked room with no food or water. With a painful open wound on her left front leg, a broken right front leg and countless badly healed cuts and sores covering her body, it was clear that she had been used as a bait dog.
Thankfully, her heart-warming recovery has been nothing short of remarkable, and today Wendy is barely recognizable, completely transformed from the frail dog that greeted us a little over a month and a half ago. The credit for her well-being goes to the expert veterinary care she received and, most importantly, the wonderful love and attention from her foster carer Mia Gyzander who has nursed Wendy back to health.

In the interview feature, she talks about the work of the Foundation and her recently launched pet product line Just One – the proceeds from which benefit animals in desperate need.
(more…)The first quarter of 2013 has been incredibly busy for the JDHF, with our transport program having relocated 279 dogs from high kill shelters in Los Angeles, to regions where the demand for adoptable pets exceeds the supply from shelters and rescue groups.
Demand is typically strongest for small breed dogs and our amazing staff and volunteers work directly with shelters to select friendly, outgoing animals, to fly or drive to destinations in New York, Oregon, Washington State, New Mexico and California. The pets chosen for transport are always animals that have been available to the public, but who were not adopted and would be imminently euthanized in the shelter due to lack of space without our intervention.
