This month's Adoptable Pets from Jaiya's Animal Rescue (JAR):
JAR Pet of the Month: Cabby the restaurant delivery puppy!
Watch: Cute Japanese dog is OMG! SO CUTE!!
Er, this dog will probably help repair Sino-Japanese ties, or something. The pup has over 65,000 Weibo followers! No? Not buying it? It 's Friday, guys. A pomeranian born in 2002 named 'Shunsuke', this little guy is the highlight of our day so far, and is apparently also very active on Twitter. Enjoy!
Pet of the Month: Soraya
This month, Jaiya's Animal Rescue decided to host two separate pet adoption days to help those living far away from their regular one still find a way to help. So for all of you Pudong dog-lovers, here's a second pet of the month to entice you out to Thumb Plaza this Sunday
Dog culls coming to Shanghai, license your dogs now
Dog owners watch out! According to Second Chance Animal Aid, Shanghai authorities are planning a dog cull from July 27 to September 15. Between 4 to 9pm each of those days, officers will send teams out onto streets and compounds to hunt for unlicensed dogs. They aren't very forgiving - at least not when its an ayi walking your prized pups - so please get your dog licensed immediately or, if you have one, carry your license everywhere. We nearly had a German Shepherd put down in front of his owner during our Independence Day party (he didn't have a license) and we don't want to experience that scare again.
SCAA Children's art contest ends this weekend
This weekend, support both your local amateur artists and Shanghai's favorite pet charity with a fun lunch at Café DuMonde 咖啡杜梦in Pudong. Second Chance Animal Aid (SCAA) will be holding the awards ceremony for their art contest there on Saturday, April 25.
Don't buy puppies off the street
While we will never fully understand why anyone would buy a living creature from a guy with a cage standing on a street corner, apparently it happens... And worse, it apparently happens enough for there to be a term for the pets that you get - "one week-ers": about how long your brand new puppy will last before it croaks out its final bark.
Support kittens, puppies, and the SCAA with your artwork
Second Chance Animal Aid, that awesome organization that helps stray or abandoned pets find loving homes in Shanghai needs you... to get creative! They're calling all artists - of any age - to submit work for the 2009 SCAA Art Contest.
Hen in Fujian Province finds job babysitting puppies
A farm dog in Fujian Province has found itself an unlikely helper for raising its newborn puppies: a chicken. The hen reportedly moved into the kennel after the dog gave birth last month and has refused to leave since. She watches over the puppies all day, only walking outside when the dog is nursing, and refuses to let anyone else near them. Talk about mother henning. Source:Ananova
