According to New Leash on Life, Maggie the mange-ridden dog has made a considerable improvement. Check her progress here!

Here's an excerpt from this week's update:


She continues to have one of the sweetest personalities we've ever seen. We're covered in Maggie kisses every time we see her. A number of kind people have made donations and come up to see her, and she delights in meeting new people.

Maggie's recovery will still be a long one with months or possibly years of medication required. Although we have raised some funds, more is needed! This year has been especially hard on New Leash On Life, but our hearts go out to dogs like Maggie, and we want to continue our life saving efforts.

There are some ways that you can help. One is by donating whatever you can here! In the drop down menu for Occasion/Reason, just choose "Maggie Fund." But even if you don't choose that, the money will go to a great cause.
Stay tuned for updates here!

The Annual Arthritis Walk for the San Fernando Valley took place Sunday, May 18 at Warner Center Park in Woodland Hills. And as you know the event raised funds and awareness for humans as well as the canine species. Popular pet trainer and radio show host Warren Eckstein (r in photo), served as honorary Dog Walk Chair.

  • The Annual Arthritis Walk for the San Fernando Valley raised $95,000
  • More than 1,200 adults, children and dogs including people suffering from Arthritis in wheelchairs participated
  • About 200 dogs of all breeds, mostly Golden Retrievers, walked this year
"It's great to be here with all of you today! I'm happy that the Arthritis Foundation has dog friendly walks - walking is not only good for humans but for our canines as well," said Warren who hosts the popular radio show "The Pet Show" on KRLA 870 AM. Although the walk may be over the fight for arthritis awareness in dogs and other pets is not. Here is some information on diagnosing and treating your furry friend with ARFritis as it's jokingly called in the link. However, arthritis is no laughing matter..

Here are some more photos. Looks like they had a great day!!
