Happy Holidays from all of us at NJN's Homeless Tails!  At this time of year, through our special Holiday Show, we like to thank all of the people who make Homeless Tails successful.    Thank you to the veterinarians from the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association who have participated in Homeless Tails since the program first went on the air, by donating spay/neuter surgeries to participating shelters.  Thank you to all the shelters and rescue groups who bring their precious pets to our Trenton studios for tapings throughout the year.  Thank you to all the viewers who have adopted wonderful animals through Homeless Tails. Thank you to the crew members and support staff who have helped with Homeless Tails productions since 1993.  And a very special thanks to the John and Wendy Neu Family Foundation, whose generous financial support makes Homeless Tails possible.

New Year's Resolutions to Help the Animals.  You can start the New Year right, and really make a difference for the animals, by taking a few small steps, like making sure all of your pets are wearing proper identification.  During these tough economic times shelters need your help more than ever, as some people are forced to give up their pets simply because they can't afford to keep them.  Join me, my daughter Caroline and our beloved former shelter dog, Sunny, as we welcome the New Year by looking back on a few of the many lucky pets who were adopted thanks to Homeless Tails in 2008.  Happy New Year from all of us at NJN's Homeless Tails!

Pit Bulls-Myths & Reality

The Michael Vick case has brought dogfighting into the national spotlight. But to the people involved with animal welfare work in New Jersey, dogfighting and the overbreeding of pit bull type dogs are not news. Shelters around the state are crammed with unwanted dogs collectively known as "pit bulls", and struggle with decisions about the dogs' fates. While pit bull type dogs are widely feared today as they have been responsible for some brutal, even fatal attacks on pets and people, that wasn't always the case. When properly bred, trained and socialized, American Pit Bull Terriers are known to be friendly towards people, and make loyal, loving pets. Watch this Homeless Tails Special to learn about Liberty Humane Society's BAD dogs program, and see how this Jersey City shelter carefully evaluates the temperaments of its dogs, to see which are adoptable and which are truly dangerous.
