Best Friends Dogtown – the TV series begins.

Best Friends Animal Society

Dear Members and Friends

Tonight: Best Friends on National Geographic.

The new series begins this evening – 9 p.m. ET. (If you miss it, just check the TV schedule for repeats.) In this first episode, a group of totally traumatized dogs arrive at the sanctuary after being rescued from a puppy mill by the Nebraska Humane Society.

Here’s the new Dogtown section of the Best Friends web site.

>>Meet the dogs, the people, the place.

The Vick dogs arrive at Best Friends.

We can’t show you the dogs themselves, but here, at least, is the plane they came in on! (The government and the courts have asked that we don’t write about or show the dogs until the court proceedings are completed.) And we can certainly say that they look delighted to be here.

The new Best Friends Network.

The Network site has had a makeover. Hope you like it. All sorts of cool features – all designed to help us all to help each other to help the animals.

Lots more, including:

Last New Year, she resolved to harass more people. How did Lois the cat do?

Tuffy was quietly expiring on a hay bale in the desert. Turned out he was about to start a whole new life.

They needed a blessing … they got Bodhi from Best Friends … he filled the bill in every possible way.

And, speaking of blessings we couldn’t do any of it without you. Your generous donations make it all possible. Thanks to you, the New Year at Best Friends has launched in a big way.
