Iggy Palace Rescue is a wonderful dog rescue located in Utah.  They specialize in Italian Greyhounds but often have other sight hounds in need of homes.  If you’re looking for a sight hound, they are a good place to start.  Even if you aren’t in the market for a dog you can still donate money or items.  Every little bit helps.

They currently have a sweet Iggy, named Tina, that needs a special home without small children or large active dogs.  The adopter has to have the finances to give her continued veterinary care and must live in Utah or one of the neighboring states.  If you think you are the right person for Tina contact Iggy Palace Rescue.

I saw a clip about a lost dog named Hambone on YouTube.  (Click here to watch it.) Apparently the dog was stolen outside a 7-11 in Hollywood.  He is a sweet docile 3-year-old white and black pit bull.  He was last seen getting into a green van with “W2″ painted on the side.  The owner is offering a $10,000 reward for Hambone’s safe return, no questions asked.  If you have any information you can contact the owner at eric@findhambone.com.

Unfortunately, this sort of thievery seems to be gaining popularity.  Every dog owner needs to take it seriously.  People have had dogs stolen from their cars and even backyards.  Some dogs are taken because they can be sold for good money.  Others are taken to train fighting dogs, which is likely the case with Hambone.  Usually the dog is never found.  Don’t leave your dogs unattended where they can easily be snatched.
