Levine Travels to Africa to Help Children & Animals Homeless Tails host and producer Sandy Levine has recently returned from an exciting safari to South Africa as part of a charitable fundraiser for children and animals! Levine's work there helped her sister, artist Diana Madaras of Tucson, Arizona, raise nearly $80,000 for 5 charities.

Sydney is a high-energy Sharpei mix, about two years old. She was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in New York City. Sydney loves people but prefers to be the only pet in the house. She's microchipped and spayed and has all of her vaccinations. Sydney will need attention, training and lots of love. Take a look!
Charlie Brown is an incredibly sweet boxer/pit bull mix--absolutely ADORABLE! Check out how handsome he is in his little brown sweater! He was so stressed from living in an overcrowded New York City shelter that he developed skin problems; they're are now being treated. Charlie Brown is a neutered male, about 1 1/2 years old, who knows some commands. Great dog.
Glitzy and her littermate Giselle (also on this show) were born in a shed and found huddling in a lawnmower bag. Glitzy is a brown tabby with an orange marking on her head. She's a spayed female, about 9 months old. Very sweet. We'd love to adopt Glitzy and Giselle together if possible! Click on the video icon to meet both girls!

Tabby's Place
Tabby's Place is a beautiful cat sanctuary in Ringoes, Hunterdon County built to save cats destined for euthanasia in overcrowded shelters.

Watch this Homeless Tails Extra to learn more about Tabby's Place, and to meet a couple of cats who are looking for new homes.

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.
