Jesse Eisenberg for WARL



Happy Rescue Day, Lion!

Today is Lion Ledsinger's Rescue Day! One year ago he was rescued from a puppy mill in Arkansas, chained up and drinking from puddles. Now the little puffball is one of the best roommates I could ask for :) He is so lucky to have found WARL, Elise and her family. Click here to read his story.

  

puppyromping: WARL Rescue Run.

My roommate left early this morning on a WARL trip down to Virginia Beach to save numerous dogs and cats that were surrendered from this animal testing facility. The video in the article is absolutely horrifying. WARL truly is an amazing organization and responded incredibly quickly, driving down to rescue these animals prepared with medics for those who need immediate attention.

puppyromping: Washington Animal Rescue League

Elise works at the Washington Animal Rescue League and sent me this story done by NBC earlier this week. She had told me about Watson and sent me a video when he first came in and I'm so glad to see that he is doing well!   The league is such an incredible organization and I point friends in their direction anytime they mention getting a dog or cat.  Check out their website and learn more about some of the available animals.
