California's Spay-Neuter License plates: pre-order now
After years of effort, California this week launched the state's newest specialty license plate -- CA Spay and Neuter.
The Califonria Veterinary Medical Board joined forces with the California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund to sponsor the program. Proceeds will provide funding for free and low-cost spay and neuter surgery programs across California and also will bring attention to the problem of homeless pets.
It's estimated that 1 million pets enter the state's animal shelters each year with more than half of them (500,000) being euthanized.
The new plates feature original artwork created and donated by actor/artist Pierce Brosnan.
They will be produced and issued once an initial 7,500 pre-paid applications have been collected. Go to www.CASpayPlate.com.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

hard to believe that after approx 18 mos there's just 3,500 orders in of the 7,500 that's required by DMV. W/the way in which social networking is these days I'd like to think that w/just a little effort on the part of the rescue community we'd reach 7,500 (& more) in no time.
C'mon CA....let's do this!
