 Hans Petersen Dog Hero [90:31m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Please sign the petition to help Hans Petersen to be removed from the ‘Do Not Adopt’ list in Los Angeles. Thank you. You will find it located in our Header of our website.

The following information was copied and pasted to this post. Information came from: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hans-Peterson-is-a-Hero-To-Animals/102914806435037?ref=ts 

Hans Petersen was arrested for rescuing a young dog left in an abandoned and foreclosed house for over 5 days in 100 degree temperatures after LA Animal Control decide to leave the two dogs in the house for 24 hours and post a notice on the front door.  

Hans Petersen did what Animal Control chose not to do, apparently for fear of the City being sued, and would have rescued the other dog but found himself in handcuffs. He was released without charge after being handcuffed to a bench for over 3 hours.

During the night another samaritan rescued the older dog from the building and dropped it off at the local Animal Shelter.  Hans Petersen found a dream home on a 23 acre ranch in Colorado but had to suffer the embarrassment of being told he could not rescue the dog from the shelter because he was on an LA Animal Services  ’Do Not Adopt To ‘ list .  

The same was true of the other dog who Hans secured a place for at the Zen4K9s Behavior and Rehabilitation Center in LA. Hans was able to secure the release of the dogs by having others officially sign for them, but made it clear to Animal Services that it was he who would be finding them homes.

LA Animal Services have sought to blame Hans Petersen for ‘compromising their ability to prosecute the people who abandoned the dogs’ and to date accept no criticism of their in-action or decision to have a man they themselves describe as a ‘good samaritan’ arrested and detained as a criminal. We believe that LA Animal Services should take the following action:

Remove Hans Petersen from any ‘Do Not Adopt To’ list with immediate effect

If you agree please help support Animal Hero Hans Petersen by signing this petition.

Hey Everyone,

I need help finding special heroic people whom have went out of their way to help change the world by helping one animal at a time (or even just one animal) to place in the line up as a Pawz Applauze Nominee.  Their stories will air on my show every week then each year, the audience will vote for their favorite nominee to be named Pawz Applauze Winner for the year.  We are talking about having listeners vote each month for their favorite nominee of the month then the final 12 will be presented for the audience to choose their favorite for the overall winner of the year.  This will help make the choices easier for the listener.

Prizes for the winner are still being gathered but we have books, CDs, pet supplies all lined up for the winner.  We’d like to get enough donated items that we can give each monthly winner something special.  So if you have pet products or books you wish to submit for prizes, please contact me and I’ll give you the mailing address to send your merchandise to.  Every Pawz Applauze Nominee will receive a certificate of thanks for their work in the animal kingdom.

So send your nominations to us and we’ll do the rest. Remember, NO act of kindness to animals is too small; so send us YOUR story today! You or your nominee could be the winner of some awesome prizes!

See you in CyberSpace!

Pawz Up,
Ice & The Pawz Cauze Team

On May 1, dog Chiclet and Jan Rasmussen are going to give a matching gift of $10,000 (and two anonymous donors are adding $25,000) to the Rabies Challenge Fund. I know people are passionate about their work to extend the period between rabies vaccinations, and ultimately to set up an adverse effects reporting system, and generally make the vaccine safer.  Here’s their press release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/rabies/vaccine/prweb906004.htm 

Chiclet T Dog has also produced a fun slideshow video about the vaccine: Dog Rabid About Rabies Vaccine Dangers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pQHQw-5XCw 

It’s short, lively, informative and even fun … considering. Important: please watch the video on YouTube, not from the release.  We need as many people as possible to watch it, rate it (hopefully with 5 stars), “favorite” it, make positive comments–and forward it and embed it on websites and blogs.  As you know, if the video gets lots of play, and lots of people Favorite it and Bookmark it, YouTube will promote it and the word about the vaccine will spread fast. Here is information about Jan Rassmusen:
