Where can I care for my pet in Peters Township? Or should I adopt?
National Pet Day is Thursday, April 11, and what better time to care for your critter? Or perhaps this is the right time to adopt a new pet. According to petdayusa.com, the day was started by celebrity pet lifestyle expert and animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige in order "to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives and to create public awareness about the plight of many different kinds of animals awaiting a forever home in shelters all across the nation." There are a few popular Pittsburgh-area shelters where you can adopt pets, including Animal Friends along Camp Horne Road in Ohio Township and the Animal Rescue League along Hamilton Avenue in Larimer.

Animal Friends continued a 15-year New Year's Eve tradition this weekend as staff members and volunteers traveled around the area rescuing animals that otherwise would be euthanized by the end of the year. The New Year's Rescue involved transferring animals from animal control facilities and other shelters to the Animal Friends shelter in Ohio Township, where the animals receive appropriate care. The volunteers saved animals from shelters around Allegheny, Greene, Washington and Westmorland counties. Each rescued animal was vaccinated, bathed, groomed, evaluated medically and behaviorally, and spayed or neutered. Aside from being treated to a primping session, these animals are given another chance at life. Friday's New Year's Eve Rescue …

It was too late for a would-be bride and her mother to get their money back after the wedding was called off, so they held a fundraiser for a pit bull advocacy group.
As Cinderella stories go, a recent soiree in Bethel Park tells an extra-special "tail," featuring a pit bill named Hazel and many fairy godparents. The event at the Crowne Plaza on Fort Couch Road Saturday was made possible by a young woman who canceled her wedding, and then donated the reception to a local pit bull advocacy group, Hello Bully, to raise funds for its new shelter in Cranberry. The party was dubbed “There’s No Place Like Home.” Hazel was a guest of honor because she represents the kind of rescues that Hello Bully and the Humane Society of United States perform. She arrived in a feminine frock that hid her distended nipples—an indication she had been repeatedly bred—and with paws still slightly swollen from fire ant attacks …

Stray found last month in Mt. Lebanon was adopted this week.
The owner of a 4-year-old stray found last month in Mt. Lebanon was never located, but the dog has a new forever home. The white dog with black spots was found in Mt. Lebanon on July 10 and taken to Clair’s Kennel near Upper St. Clair’s Municipal Building as workers tried to locate the owner. The kennel held the dog for 48 hours before handing him over to the Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh. A worker at the East Liberty shelter on Wednesday said he was adopted a few days ago and now has a new forever home. Roy Hayward, a county animal control officer, said their Lost Pet Project works to locate the animal’s owner before turning them over to the Animal Rescue League, Animal Friend or the Humane Society. “Without their help, we would have…
