Go No Kill!

The No Kill Way: the way of the future!

By: N Gilbert

Why 'No Kill' do you ask? Well, the statistics of kill shelters are exceptionally high. The mass killing in dogs and cats daily nation wide are up to 95%. These animals include young and old, healthy and sick, yet treatable. Their excuse for this high killing is simply, "no room." We are determined to stopping this and having the nation go "No Kill" one day. Please visit the link below for more information on Nathan Winograd's fabulous 'No Kill Advocacy Center.'

Sgt. Stubby: America's 1st Bully Hero!

In response to World War I, members of the First Company Governor's Foot Guard were activated and inducted into the 102nd Infantry Battalion of the 26th "Yankee" Division along with members of Connecticut's other Organized Militia units and numerous volunteers. During their training on the grounds of Yale University prior to deployment, they unexpectedly added a soldier to their company. Found by then-Private John Conroy, Stubby was a brindle patched puppy of unknown descent with a short tail from which he received his name. As the soldiers became familiar with army life, so did Stubby. Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and the routines of life in camp, even learning to give a dog's version of a salute. Stubby would would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's effect on the soldiers around him as well as his dedication to training and his ability to salute earned him the right to remain in the camp, even though animals were not allowed.
