Thank you all Pound Dogs readers, sharers, adopters, rescuers, supporters for a hugely successful and lifesaving year. I can't quantify exactly how many dogs found homes directly through your efforts but certainly many of the hundreds of dogs which were rescued last year via Toronto Animal Services South (and hundreds more through all four locations of Toronto Animal Services city wide) benefited. And there is no doubt many, if not most, of those rescued dogs had shorter stays in the shelter than they would have had otherwise if not for your efforts in passing along their photos and info.
Thank you all for letting others know there are wonderful pound dogs out there waiting for someone to take them home.
Cheers and here's to a great 2013.
Happy New Year Fred!

ReplyDeleteHappy new year Fred! Love your photos....
ReplyDeleteMay you and yours have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, Fred.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Simone! Wishing that 2013 will be a very good year for you and for Fred. A year of good health, dreams answered and lots of dogs into happy safe new homes. Love the touch of silver at the ankle!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your poignant, eloquent, amusing, and, often, heartbreaking work on behalf of these amazing animals. We found both of our dogs on your site, the pups formerly known as Frannie and Penny, and while we now own fewer socks and have had to replace some leather goods, our lives have been enriched immeasurably. So, our family thanks you prfoundly and wish you the very best in 2013.
ReplyDeleteHaving just rung in the New Year with our newest four legged member and avid muncher of serpentines: Happy New Year to you too and thank you for all that you do. Here is to a wonderful 2013 and countless more animals finding wonderful homes.
ReplyDeleteSimone, I hope 2013 is the year you realise someone LOVES you, and gain the confidence you need to be the world's happiest dog.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Fred!
ReplyDeleteTo a time when pound dogs are are a rarity, and all dogs have good homes.
All the best in 2013!
I'd like to thank you for what you do as well. I've been a shelter pet owner/advocate since I was a kid, but your blog and photos are what finally got me to to get off my lazy butt and volunteer as a dog walker at my local shelter this year.
ReplyDeleteSo you've made a difference not just for Toronto dogs, but for some wonderful dogs down in Southern California as well. Thanks.
